Nissan’s one-of-a-kind karaoke lounge on wheels

Besides MPVs, the automobile market in Europe also sees a large number of light commercial vehicles (LCVs) being bought for dual purposes – business as well as personal use. Every automaker selling in Europe has such LCVs in their range and Nissan’s offering from the NV family is the Townstar Evalia which made its debut early this year.

Related to the NV200 assembled and sold in Malaysia by Edaran Tan Chong Motor, the Townstar Evalia can be configured with up to 7 seats or as a 2-seater with up to 3,750 litres of load space. Its powertrain can be either a combustion engine or fully electric.

Karaoke on the go
To demonstrate the versatility of the Townstar-e Evalia, Nissan’s European designers have  come up with the Townstar Karaok-e, a one-of-a-kind van that puts karaoke on the go.

The development and design was conceived with two ideas at its core: wellbeing and happiness. With singing and music scientifically proven to reduce stress, boost dopamine levels and produce endorphins, the Townstar Karaok-e can offer a fun way to depart from ordinary routines during the daily commute.

Mobile karaoke lounge
In place of the usual 7 seats, the Townstar Karaok-e’s rear layout has been transformed into a cutting-edge karaoke lounge where anyone can become a singing sensation! There’s lots of room for the karaoke system and a 32-inch monitor, with the state-of-the-art sound system featuring a powerful subwoofer.

With Instant Sharing apps, performers can also personalise intros, outros, interface designs, and watermarks, whilst seamlessly recording their performances via GoPro, so anyone can share their singing abilities with friends and family on any of their preferred social media channels.

To electrify the atmosphere within, the cabinet and roof lighting are synchronised with the beat of the music, adding an extra layer of immersion to the karaoke experience.

Colourflow exterior
On the exterior is a mesmerizing Colourflow design which changes colour as the angle of sight shifts. From lively purples to calming blues and greens, the multi-coloured wrapping injects vitality and flair, constantly drawing attention to Nissan’s one-off vehicle.

With a 45 kWh powering the 122 ps/245 Nm electric motor, the Townstar Karaok-e can go up to 301 kms with no exhaust emissions. The best-in-class 22 kW AC charging capabilities allow charging of the battery (15% to 80%) in 1.5 hours, while an 80 kW charging station can do the job in a claimed 37 minutes.
