It was in October 2021 when the Japanese automaker first rolled out the new Urvan in its homeland. Now, Filipinos who are looking for a reliable people hauler can find it in the Urvan, which sports subtle design updates and improved tech.

“The Urvan is one of Nissan Philippines’ best-selling models and we are excited to introduce this trusted and reliable people carrier with new technology and safety features,” said NPI President Juan Manuel Hoyos.

The sides and rear of the 2023 Nissan Urvan remain identical to the outgoing model. But the front gets a new and familiar look thanks to the refreshed V-Motion grille. It is complemented with a new bumper and trimming that aim for a more modern finish. To top the exterior changes, the van gets the brand’s new logo.
