Nissan Townstar Business & Commercial Leasing Offers

The Nissan Townstar sits below the larger Primastar and Interstar in Nissan's van range, giving businesses a compact van lease option that's still practical enough for daily work. Built on a shared platform with the Renault Kangoo and Mercedes-Benz Citan, the Townstar is available with either a petrol or 100% electric powertrain, across three trims: Acenta, Tekna and N-Connecta.

The Crew Van body, available in N-Connecta trim, extends that suitability to businesses that need to carry a small team alongside their equipment.

Engine & performance

For businesses considering a Nissan Townstar EV lease, the all-electric Townstar uses a 45kWh battery connected to a 121bhp motor producing 245Nm of torque, offering a WLTP range of up to 178 miles. Rapid DC charging at up to 80kW takes the battery from 15-80% in around 37 minutes, while a 22kW AC wallbox covers the same charge in around an hour and a half.

Braked towing capacity is up to 1,500kg across the petrol and electric range, whereas the electric Crew Van has no rated towing capacity.

Availability can vary based on current manufacturer ordering options.

Interior features

Inside, the Townstar's cabin is built around practicality, with an elevated gear lever, up to 44 litres of interior storage and up to three USB ports depending on version. A 7-inch digital combimeter gives the driver clear speed, range and trip information, and automatic climate control is fitted as standard across the range.

Acenta comes with a single front passenger seat as standard, with an optional two-seat passenger bench available on Acenta and Tekna, folding away to create a flat work surface when not needed.
