The Nissan Townstar Crew Van hits the UK: Electric variant offers appealing transition for business fleets
Nissan has launched the Townstar Crew Van in the UK, an electric van built for business fleets. This new model offers adaptable features like foldable second-row seats, allowing operators to optimise cargo space or configure it as a five-seater. The van also features a generous 3.1m³ loading area and sliding doors on both sides.
The electric variant boasts a 45kWh battery, offering a range of up to 162 miles on the WLTP combined cycle. Charging options include a 22kW AC mode and rapid-charging at 80kW. That promises quick charging from 15% to 80% in just 37 minutes.
Safety features are paramount, incorporating Intelligent Speed Assistance, Lane Keeping Assistance, and Blind Spot Detection. The van also offers wireless CarPlay or Android Auto, a standard rear camera, and comprehensive parking sensors for enhanced convenience and safety during operations.
Nissan supports its reliability claims with a standard 5-year/100,000 miles warranty. Nissan has coupled that with an 8-year/100,000 miles warranty specifically for the EV battery. The offer makes the van an attractive prospect for businesses considering its promised longevity.
The Townstar Crew Van is now available for purchase starting at £26,125. The practicality and versatility combined with the competitive price makes this van a good option for businesses considering the transition. With impending decarbonisation deadlines, options like these cannot be ignored by fleet operators.
