The all-new Ariya offers an estimated range of up to approximately 300 miles/482 kilometres (preliminary Nissan estimated range for long range 2WD model), making Ariya the perfect partner for daily commutes and road trips alike.

Design: a completely re-imagined appearance
Ariya is offered with six two-tone exterior paint combinations, each sporting a black roof, and three striking full-body colours. A unique exterior Copper and Black two-tone colour package, called Akatsuki, expresses the moment just before dawn, as the sun marks the beginning of a new day.

The striking Ariya interior is defined by its spatiotemporal qualities of belonging to both space and time. The interior is more akin to a sleek café lounge on a starship, evoking performance and intrigue, rather than a traditional automotive cabin.

Rear-seat passengers are treated to an abundance of headroom and legroom, with the flat cabin floor allowing them to easily cross their legs and relax. Accents and ornamentation are carried into the rear space to give all the same sense of sophistication and comfort. The sleek front seats are positioned to obscure the B-pillar, offering occupants an outward panoramic view.

Intelligent Power: Impressive EV performance for a wide range of needs
Both Ariya front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models offer a choice of 63 kWh of usable battery capacity – ideal for urban commuters and first time EV owners looking for quality and style in their next-generation EV – or 87 kWh. The 87 kWh models’ additional battery capacity delivers the additional range for those looking to venture on longer journeys.

The twin electric motor, all-wheel-drive Ariya models feature Nissan’s most advanced all-wheel control technology, e-4ORCE. The “e” in e-4ORCE stands for Nissan’s 100 per cent electric motor drive system. “4ORCE” (pronounced force) refers to the vehicle’s physical power and energy, with “4” representing all-wheel control.

Intelligent Driving: a high-tech, low-stress driving experience
The Ariya ensures high levels of comfort and confidence by providing occupants with the latest Nissan technologies, including the next-generation ProPILOT Assist advanced driver assistance.

ProPILOT Assist 2.0 is the newest iteration of Nissan’s driver assistance technology. Available on the Nissan LEAF, Altima, Rogue and Qashqai, ProPILOT Assist 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.

ProPILOT Assist 2.0 expands on this, allowing attentive drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel under certain conditions, helping reduce the driver’s workload and stress in single-lane highway traffic.1,2 In addition, ProPILOT Assist 2.0 also supports multi-lane highway driving tasks such as lane changes, passing and highway exiting.

The Nissan Ariya is also equipped with standard Nissan Safety Shield® 360, a suite of six active safety features that includes Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist and Rear Intelligent Emergency Braking.
