Nissan Townstar

[Square Leg]

Anyone have one or getting one?
Would be interested in your view of it, and what if any deals are out there other than the advertised ones.
Particularly the petrol version as the electric is out of my price range.
Would be replacing a Transit Connect 1.5 diesel.

Thanks.

Great little van, best in class by a long way.
Nissan also give a 5 year 100'000 mile warranty on their full LCV range now.

Any questions let me know, I'm happy to share my thoughts and experience with the vehicle.

I've sent you an email as well!

Hi I am also interested in this van looking to replace a 62 Peugeot partner hdi and not wanting a euro6 diesel. The tci unit seems to be the only small petrol van that is chain driven. Currently Have a Ecoboost Ford so aware of the wet belt situation that also effects the petrol psa vans as well

Is the Nissan 1.3 a wet belt?
Really want to avoid that!

No the Nissan has a chain it's the Renault tci unit in it , and I believe the 1.6 tsi caddy has a chain as well but that's outside my budget

They only seem available in a fleet spec , no limited equivalents, I guess they will be good value for money if you just want a basic van once they become more available and the deals start ..

Local dealer has offered a Tekna plus (top spec) with a £3k discount with delivery in November.
I’m in no particular rush, especially as HPi have fked up the mileage on my van and it comes up as a discrepancy and I now have to sort that…

Got one here with air and cruise, haven't had time to see what other spec, if any, it has

Is this a rebadged Renault Kangoo?
And can also be had as a rebadged Mercedes Citan?

Will they make a rebadged Dacia version of this vehicle?


On a side note, only the electric Townstar is available as a crew cab version, no such option with the petrol engine.
