LONDON – 13th June 2024 – Introducing the all-new Townstar Crew Van, an exceptionally comfortable and flexible light commercial vehicle, expertly crafted for businesses and available to order from today. Based on the popular van L2 Townstar, the new model maximises space, and is the perfect partner for businesses of all sizes that need their vans to offer that little bit extra. Whether tasked with transporting small or hefty loads, the new Townstar Crew Van effortlessly accommodates customers’ diverse needs.
With the addition of this new variant of Townstar, Nissan is reinforcing its LCV portfolio to help customers better navigate the sector with a product range that provides efficient mobility solutions for their businesses. The line-up includes the all-new Interstar in the H-van segment and the established, mid-sized Primastar.
The compact van with big flexibility
The new Townstar Crew Van gives businesses the ultimate adaptability, with the ability to quickly and easily adjust configurations to make the most of the ample space and address the constantly evolving requirements of customers. With effortless ease, users can fold the second-row seats up or down using one hand, transforming the van into a secure and comfortable five-seater in seconds.
With the second row in place, passengers can enjoy a comfortable ride, with individual three-point seatbelts and head restraints, plus hinged opening windows for a breath of fresh air. Additionally, with an integrated bulkhead, passengers are protected from any shifting loads in the cargo area, ensuring their ride is as smooth – and safe – as possible.
When more space is needed, customers can simply fold the second-row seats away to quickly enhance the overall capacity by 1m3 and instantly creating space for 3.1m3 of loading space – and this much-needed flexibility doesn’t sacrifice on performance. Built to address the varied needs of businesses, and to help loaders avoid playing cargo Tetris, the Townstar Crew Van features one of the widest opening doors in its category (831mm), allowing easy access to the interior.
For those in need of hauling crucial extra loads, the Crew Van also has a payload of up to 730kg for the petrol version (673kg for the EV) and is equipped with an impressive towing capacity of 1,500kg with a braked trailer – combining comfort and flexibility with total capability.
“SME businesses are more than just jobs, they represent people’s livelihoods, dreams and ambitions. As they diversify to remain competitive in today’s tough economy, it’s crucial that we provide transport solutions that are as agile as they are. With comfort for drivers and passengers, and adaptability and performance all front of mind, the Townstar Crew Van ensures our customers have a model that suits all manner of needs, in a working environment where no two days are ever the same,” said Allan Newman, LCV Product Manager at Nissan GB.
An all-electric version for the eco-conscious business
As Nissan drives forward on its transition to electrification, the introduction of a fully-electric version of the all-new Townstar Crew Van brings another option for electric mobility to eco-conscious SMEs and fleets across Europe.
With a 45kWh battery, the electric model of the Townstar Crew Van provides an impressive range of up to 162mi (WLTP combined), enabling its users to tick through job-after-job without worrying about having to recharge. Customers can enjoy a wide range of charging options, including the best-in-class 22kW AC mode and the rapid-charging 80kW option, that provides the ability to charge from 15% to 80% in just 37 minutes – so they can hit the road again as quickly as possible. All of this electric power is available without compromising on performance, with the all-electric model offering the same spacious loading and passenger capacity as its petrol counterpart.
Safety assured through the latest technology
The new Townstar Crew Van, available in Tekna trim level, comes fully equipped with the latest technology, including Intelligent Speed Assistance with Traffic Sign Recognition, Lane Keeping Assistance, Blind Spot Detection and wireless CarPlay or Android Auto. Additionally, the standard rear camera and front, side and rear parking sensors give customers complete peace-of-mind when moving from one job to the next.
A further layer of security is provided with the Intelligent Emergency Braking System, providing drivers with extra safeguards against blind spots and unpredictable moments while on the road.
The all-new Townstar Crew Van also provides customers with seamless connectivity to the NissanConnect app. This gives drivers access to crucial information via their smartphone to plan their journeys with precision. The app can also provide live traffic updates and critical information on the state of battery charging on the electric version, plus the ability to remotely start the ventilation system to cool-down or heat-up before setting off.
The all-new Crew Van comes with Nissan’s standard warranty of 5 years or 100,000 miles, and 8 years/ 100,000 miles for the EV battery warranty, ensuring peace-of-mind for every journey.*
The all-new Townstar Crew Van is now available to purchase at a starting price of £26,125.
