Nissan offers New York city a peek at its new taxi

New York City officials, including the Taxi & Limousine Commissioner, were among the first to preview the interior design planned for the Nissan NV200 Taxi, New York City's exclusive 'Taxi of Tomorrow' at a Nissan Design Expo in The Big Apple.

The NV200 Taxi design reflects the input of hundreds of taxi owners and drivers, and thousands of passengers from all walks of life, who pooled their ideas and priorities with Nissan designers and engineers.

Interior features of the NV200 Taxi include a spacious cargo area to fit luggage for four passengers, a transparent roof panel to provide unique views of the city, sliding doors with entry step and grab handles for easy entry and exit, USB charging access for passengers, passenger controlled rear-seat heat/air conditioning, flat floor - with no hump, enhanced interior materials intended to help passenger cabin smell fresher; breathable, easy-to-clean and environmentally roundly seat upholstery.

Nissan are looking forward to hearing New Yorkers' feedback after they sit in this display 'taxi'. Nissan's NV200 Taxi was selected in May 2011 as that city's exclusive 'Taxi of Tomorrow' beginning in late 2013.
