Nissan has revealed the Ariya NISMO during the Tokyo Auto Salon 2024, announcing its upcoming launch in Japan this spring. Positioned as NISMO’s flagship electric vehicle (EV), this sleek and futuristic crossover SUV promises robust acceleration, an upgraded and spacious cabin, and the signature quiet operation inherent to electric vehicles.
Built upon the foundation of the Ariya e-4ORCE and showcasing a dynamic new-generation EV NISMO design, the Ariya NISMO instills a heightened sense of confidence and tranquility. Its exceptional acceleration, superb handling, and outstanding aerodynamic performance result from NISMO’s exclusive tuning.
The performance of the Ariya NISMO is characterized by a dynamic yet easily controllable nature, achieved through a motor with approximately 10 percent greater peak output, specialized acceleration tuning, and an exclusive NISMO driving mode that optimizes responsiveness. The auditory experience is reminiscent of Formula E racing, adding an extra layer of excitement.
NISMO’s meticulous tuning of each chassis component, coupled with the e-4ORCE electric-drive four-wheel-control technology and dedicated tires on sturdy 20-inch aluminum wheels, ensures superior stability, precise turn-in ability, improved line-tracing, and enhanced cornering capabilities at high speeds.
The exterior seamlessly combines the premium quality of the Ariya with NISMO’s dynamic aesthetics. Race-derived technologies contribute to enhanced aerodynamic performance, reducing drag and increasing downforce at higher speeds—critical considerations for electric vehicles.
Inside the cabin, an air of luxury prevails, featuring high-quality elements throughout, such as specially designed NISMO seats and trim, further enhancing the overall premium experience of the Ariya NISMO.
