    On the Podium: Nissan Qashqai and Townstar EV Dominate in Prestigious 2024 Awards

    Nissan takes the spotlight with a commanding presence as the Qashqai claims SUV of the Year and the Townstar EV secures Small Electric Van of the Year in the prestigious 2024 Company Car & Van Awards.

In a stellar display of automotive excellence, Nissan proudly takes center stage as its iconic Qashqai and the innovative Townstar EV claim top honors in the esteemed 2024 Company Car & Van Awards. The Qashqai secured the highly coveted title of SUV of the Year, while the Townstar EV emerged triumphant as the Small Electric Van of the Year.

The Qashqai's victory in the SUV category is a testament to its enduring appeal, marrying practicality with style. As a former Sun newspaper Car of the Year and a recipient of the December Carwow Awards' High Commendation, the Qashqai continues to set the standard for five-door SUVs. Its large boot, ingenious practicality, and the revolutionary e-POWER drivetrain propelled it to the top, earning recognition for its good looks, on-trend tech, and exceptional safety features.

On the electric front, the Townstar EV takes the spotlight as a significant and welcome addition to Nissan's van lineup. Awarded the title of Compact High Cube Van of the Year at the 2023 Great British Fleet Awards, the Townstar EV stands out with clever storage solutions, numerous safety features, and a top-quality cabin. Its quiet, relaxed driving experience, swift acceleration tailored for the urban jungle, and an impressive 186-mile range solidify its position as the Small Electric Van of the Year.

Andrew Walker, editor of Company Car & Van, emphasized the distinct appeal of both vehicles, stating that the Qashqai's practicality and the Townstar EV's quiet, relaxed driving experience contributed to their undeniable success. The awards reaffirm Nissan's commitment to providing vehicles that not only meet but exceed the expectations of UK drivers.

A Nissan spokesperson expressed delight at the recognition, highlighting the brand's satisfaction when acknowledgment comes from external entities. Building on the success of the ARIYA at the previous Company Car & Van Awards, the accolades for the Qashqai and Townstar EV signal a promising start for Nissan in 2024.

  • Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

    We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

    Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

    Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

    All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
