Nissan has announced an updated and rebranded van range.
A revised version of the company’s NV400 large van will be known as the Interstar, and an updated NV300 medium van will be known as the Primastar, while an all-new Townstar compact van will replace the NV200.
According to Nissan, its new van range will allow it to chase its ambition of increasing its presence in the European van market by 2025.
Following on from the electric e-NV200, Nissan has confirmed the new Townstar will feature both electric and petrol variants, while its styling is said to be inspired by the company’s new Ariya electric car.
The electric Townstar is predicted to have 177 miles of range – a 43% improvement over the e-NV200.
The Townstar will feature up to 4.3m3 of cargo space, allowing it to transport two Euro pallets and up to 800kg of cargo, while towing capacity is up to 1,500kg.
Available driver assistance features will include a 360-degree camera and Nissan’s semi-autonomous ProPilot driving system.
The Interstar and Primastar will both be available with a range of Euro 6d-compliant diesel engines.
Compared with the NV400, the Interstar will gain new driver assistance systems, including blind-spot warning and automatic high/low headlight beams.
Panel van, chassis cab, single and double cabin, and platform cab versions will be available, along with factory conversions such as crew van, dropside cab, and tipper.
Changes to the Primastar compared with the NV300 include a new grille and LED headlights, while new driver assistance features include blind-spot warning, lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control, and intelligent emergency braking.
All Nissan’s new vans will come with a five-year warranty.
