Nissan debuts electric coupe crossover Ariya

Nissan has revealed its Nissan Ariya electric coupé crossover, which has an estimated range of up to 310 miles (WLTP).

The Nissan Ariya is based on the similarly-named concept vehicle displayed at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show and first hinted at with the IMx at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show.

Built on an Alliance-developed EV platform, the Ariya is part of Nissan's Intelligent Mobility strategy to further improve the appeal of its vehicles and achieve a future with zero emissions and zero vehicle fatalities.

Incorporating the three main pillars of Nissan Intelligent Mobility (Intelligent Power, Intelligent Drive and Intelligent Integration), the Ariya combines advanced electric vehicle technology with a new level of seamless human-machine interface connectivity, offering an entirely new driving experience.

The Ariya 63kWh two-wheel-drive model is ideal for urban and suburban commuters. The Ariya 87kWh two-wheel drive models expands on the 63kWh with an upgraded powertrain and additional range for those looking to do longer journeys.

The Ariya e-4ORCE 63kWh all-wheel-drive model offers an attractive balance in performance and value in its segment. With almost no compromise on range, this model offers ample performance and innovative new technologies, including twin electric motors and e-4ORCE control technology that deliver balanced, predictable power to all four wheels. The Ariya e-4ORCE 87kWh all-wheel-drive will offer a longer range coupled with pure power thanks to the e-4ORCE technology. Topping the range, the Ariya e-4ORCE 87kWh Performance model benefits from a higher power output and will be the epitome of the best performance-technology combination.

The Ariya will be rated to tow up to 1500kg.

The Ariya also has ProPILOT which is a hands-on assistance system that helps drivers stay centred in their lane, navigate stop-and-go highway traffic and maintain a set vehicle speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.

More details about Ariya’s availability and pricing in Europe will be shared in the coming months.
