Recently, Nissan released its pure electric crossover SUV the Ariya. The new car will be launched first in the Japanese market in mid-2021 with a price of around 5 million Japanese yen (about RMB 330,000), and will be available in Europe, North America, and China in the latter half of 2021.
The Ariya will offer two models with batteries of different capacities, with a maximum WLTC range of up to 610 km.
The Nissan Ariya is positioned as a compact SUV, with dimensions of 4595 mm in length, 1850 mm in width, and 1655 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2755 mm. The vehicle weighs between 1.9 tons and 2.2 tons. The exterior design is simple, delicate, and features smooth overall lines. In addition, the new car is equipped with a new flat-designed Nissan LOGO.
There are four aspects of the Ariya that are worth noting:
Interior design
With a simple and technological style, touch buttons are designed to blend into the interior panels. When the vehicle is not powered on, the buttons integrate into the surface, and only light up when the power is turned on.
Vehicle configuration
The Nissan Ariya is equipped with ProPILOT 2.0 intelligent driving assistance technology, ProPILOT remote intelligent parking system (ProPILOT Remote Park), and e-Pedal integrated intelligent control pedal.
At the same time, the Nissan Ariya is also equipped with Nissan’s safety barrier technology, including panoramic intelligent monitoring imaging, ultra-distance collision warning system, pre-collision intelligent braking, and rear automatic emergency braking.
Power and Battery
The Nissan Ariya is equipped with a pure electric powertrain system, with two battery capacity options of 90 kW (actually available 87 kWh) and 65 kWh (actually available 63 kWh), with WLTP range of 500 km and EPA range of 482 km.
Interestingly, Nissan has abandoned the use of soft-packed batteries and switched to NCM cylindrical ternary lithium batteries, supplied by CATL.
