Flagship EV model promises powerful performance and futuristic design
NiISSAN took the stage at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2024 to unveil the much-anticipated Ariya Nismo. As the flagship electric vehicle (EV) in the Nismo lineup, the Ariya Nismo brings together a stylish design, powerful acceleration, and the serene operation characteristic of electric vehicles.
Built on the foundation of the Ariya e-4ORCE, the Ariya Nismo showcases a dynamic new-generation EV Nismo design. This not only enhances the vehicle’s visual appeal but also contributes to heightened confidence and peace of mind on the road, courtesy of Nismo’s exclusive tuning.
The EV Nismo design ensures an exceptional driving experience with its powerful yet smooth acceleration, superior handling, and stellar aerodynamic performance. Achieving a perfect balance, the Ariya Nismo benefits from approximately 10-percent greater peak output from its motor, combined with special acceleration tuning and an exclusive Nismo driving mode, delivering responsive performance. The auditory experience, reminiscent of Formula E racing, adds an extra layer of excitement to the driving sensation.
Nismo’s meticulous tuning extends to each chassis component, complemented by the e-4ORCE electric-drive four-wheel-control technology and purpose-built tires on robust 20-inch aluminum wheels. This combination results in superior stability, precise turn-in ability, optimized line-tracing, and enhanced cornering capabilities at high speeds.
The exterior design seamlessly blends the premium quality of the Ariya with Nismo’s dynamic styling. Drawing inspiration from race-derived technologies, the Ariya Nismo’s aerodynamic performance is refined to reduce drag and increase downforce at higher speeds — crucial elements for electric vehicles.
Inside the cabin, a premium atmosphere prevails, featuring high-quality elements throughout. Specially designed Nismo seats and trim contribute to the overall sense of luxury within the Ariya Nismo, making it a compelling choice for enthusiasts seeking a perfect fusion of performance and comfort.
With the Ariya Nismo, Nissan reinforces its commitment to innovation and electrification, providing drivers with an exhilarating and sophisticated EV driving experience.
