The black aluminum roof rack for Nissan Townstar models built in 2022 or later is an aerodynamic and robust transport solution for tradespeople, service providers, and businesses. A quiet, efficient roof solution is particularly important for the compact Townstar, as frequent city driving alternates with highway driving. The flow-optimized cross profiles noticeably reduce wind noise and air resistance, while the black finish gives the vehicle a professional look.
What are the everyday benefits of a roof rack on the Nissan Townstar?
The Townstar is often used as a maneuverable service van – with limited cargo space but a high demand for additional transport volume. This roof rack creates exactly that space: ladders, pipes, cable ducts, or transport boxes can be safely transported on the roof. The integrated rear roller is particularly practical, making loading and unloading across the entire width much easier.
Good to know: The Nissan Townstar is identical in construction to the Renault Kangoo III and Mercedes Citan II. With identical vehicle data, the system may therefore also be relevant for these models.
