The Townpod design features several familiar visual elements from other Nissan cars.

The drivetrain featured in the concept car is the same zero emission technology that is fitted on the Nissan Leaf.

As in the Leaf, the charging points are located in the nose behind an automatically retracting cover.

The headlights on the Townpod serve as position markers when the blue "petals" are closed and headlights when open, while the external location of the pods eases basic maintenance.

Thanks to the position of the headlights, the Townpod gets a bonnet line which can recall the Nissan 370Z, which ends up in a blue tinted glass house, which resembles the Nissan Cube.
