Externally, designers blended a number of styling cues from the Cube and Leaf, lending the Townpod a tall, boxy stature, while simultaneously blessing it with a long, tapered nose. The small, elongated headlamps, along with the slender air intake opening, give the Townpod's front fascia an odd, alien-like appearance.
Although the Townpod is roughly the same size as the compact Leaf, Nissan worked hard to increase its versatility. Rear-hinged half-doors improve access to the rear seat, while access to the rear cargo area is provided by two swing-open panel doors. The rear bench folds flat and retracts into the front seating assembly, opening up a flat, unencumbered load floor. Those needing to carry very long items -- scaffolding and surfboards -- will likely need to pop open a roof-mounted hatch, located just above the rear cargo doors.
