Verdict
These are commercial vehicles for very different jobs. The RM435,000 Vito Tourer costs RM355,200 more, but carries 10 people, has 208 hp and 350 Nm, and pairs its turbo 2.0-litre petrol engine with a nine-speed automatic. Its 3,430 mm wheelbase and 5,370 mm length suit passenger-moving duties, while six airbags, Active Brake Assist and rear ISOFIX add meaningful protection. The RM79,800 NV200 is the pragmatic two-seat load carrier: its 4,200-litre boot, 7.14 L/100 km rated economy and RM120 annual road tax make the numbers far easier for a Malaysian business. But its 108 hp manual drivetrain and two airbags are basic.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz Vito Tourer if you need 10 seats, automatic driving and substantially more safety equipment for passenger transport.
Pick the Nissan NV200 if a RM79,800 two-seat commercial vehicle with a 4,200-litre load area is the priority.
