As part of its European market LCV strategy, Nissan has unveiled the all-new Nissan Townstar range of compact light commercial vehicles (LCVs). The fully electric version of the all-new Townstar is available in van and passenger versions.
With a 44 kWh battery featuring an intelligent energy management system and battery thermal cooling, the electric model will offer a range of 285 km and 245 Nm of torque. A refined gasoline engine option will be also available in van and passenger versions.
The LCV also introduces more than 20 technology features, including a broad range of safety- and advanced driver-assistance features such as Trailer Sway Control.
It also offers the ProPILOT advanced driver assistance system, which helps the driver to keep the vehicle centred in a lane during highway driving, even around sweeping corners.
Connectivity features such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and wireless phone charging will be available across the line-up, with the introduction of additional connected services at the time of the electric Townstar launch.
The Townstar is the latest to be introduced under the Nissan NEXT transformation plan, which prioritises sustainable growth and profitability across the company’s global operations.
In a press release, Nissan states: ‘Built on the Alliance CMF-C platform, the all-new Townstar has been built from the ground up with quality and functionality in mind. It will bear the new Nissan brand logo, making it the first European model to be produced with it’.
It adds: ‘The fully electric all-new Townstar will reflect aesthetic cues taken from the Nissan Ariya, including slim signature LED headlamps and an aerodynamic front shield integrating an intricate Kumiko pattern and a fresh V-motion design’.
Nissan says the launch timing of the all-new Townstar (both gasoline and EV versions) will be disclosed at a later date.
