Chevrolet has announced that its 2015 City Express cargo van will start at $22,950 (*including $995 destination charge). Compared to the $21,150 price (after destination) of the base Nissan NV200 that lives beneath the Bowtie badges and Chevy graphics, and the base City Express LS will command an $1,800 premium over the donor vehicle. Opt for the City Express LT that costs $24,510, and its premium compared to the NV 200 SV is $2,370.

At this point, all appearances point to cargo vans that are carbon copies of one another save for their decoration. The Chevy gets the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 131 horsepower and 139 pound-feet of torque, the same continuously variable transmission, and the same 122.7 cubic feet of cargo room and maximum payload capacity of 1,500 pounds. Chevrolet's retail site does advertise a powertrain warranty of five years and 100,000 miles compared to Nissan's five years and 60,000 miles, and the City Express comes with Chevy's Complete Care scheduled maintenance program for two years or 24,000 miles, something Nissan doesn't appear to offer as inclusive.

Chevy hasn't released a configurator site for the City Express yet, so we can't compare standard options to see if that explains the price disparity, but we've reached out to the companies for comment and we'll update the post if and when we get some added context.

The City Express will start arriving in the fourth quarter this year, and you can find out more about it in the press release below.Continue reading 2015 Chevy City Express priced from $22,950*
