World EV Day
London, September 09, 2024, (Oilandgaspress) ––NISSAN Europe debuts high-performance Ariya NISMO
As we celebrate World EV Day, Ariya NISMO is preparing to hit the European roads with a unique version of e-4ORCE, 320kW power and 600Nm torque.
The Ariya NISMO breaks the mould as a high-powered all electric sensation that doesn’t compromise – providing cleaner mobility, alongside all the features that have made the NISMO models so renowned across the globe. Nissan ignited the electrification of the automotive industry, and this latest addition to the European lineup offers a faster, more exhilarating drive, that pushes the boundaries of performance and expectations of electric mobility.
Building on Nissan’s rich NISMO heritage while retaining its Japanese-inspired design, The Ariya NISMO elevates the already impressive performance of the 87kWh Ariya to new heights of exhilaration. This model combines the best of motorsports engineering, with the sleek design and interior of the Nissan ARIYA to cement its status as a NISMO masterpiece.
METICULOUSLY ENGINEERED FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE
The Ariya NISMO comes with a sleek, integrated aerodynamic design, creating a feeling of effortless gliding through the air. Thanks to its canard shape, extended lower bumper and ducktail rear spoiler, the Ariya NISMO’s lift coefficient saw an impressive 40% improvement in comparison the standard Ariya.
The NISMO’s wide and low presence and low centre of gravity, in addition to a twin rear diffuser, also expertly guides the wind flow to offer increased downforce. In addition, spoilers and air curtains, inspired from Formula E, reduce drag due to the unique aero plate and air strake design, generating smooth wind flow along the body of the vehicle and straightening the air flow in front of the rear tyres. The Ariya NISMO also enjoys a wider door finisher compared to standard Ariya models, ensuring that the car’s downforce is boosted, and the tyres are provided with extra support.
The Michelin Pilot Sport EV tyres featured in the Ariya NISMO have also been designed to offer increased grip and performance. The ENKEI “MAT Process” 20-inch wheels feature thin spokes that reduce drag and weight. The design incorporates a large opening to promote air flow and support brake cooling performance.
NISMO TUNING DELIVERS EXILERATING DRIVE EXPERIENCE
The fine-tuning of the Ariya NISMO ensures next-level performance. All electric, with an 87kWh* battery, it offers 320 kW of power and 600 Nm of Max Torque, delivering 0-100 km/h acceleration within 5 seconds. The Ariya NISMO can also sprint from 80-120 km/h in just 2.4 seconds.
The Ariya NISMO offers increased turning and lateral force greater than the GT-R NISMO. The model’s suspension, which includes modified springs, stabilisers and shock absorbers all work together, alongside a high-level balanced chassis, for increased control of body motion, offering drivers an enhanced level of rigidity and dynamism. The feel of the power steering adjusts depending on speed, working with the suspension to create unmatched stability.
When cruising at lower speeds, such as cities and residential streets, the steering force is reduced, making turning effortless. At highway and higher speeds, the steering is firmer, offering a more neutral and stable feel. With the addition of i-Booster, which increases the effectiveness of the brakes, drivers can experience the full thrill of NISMO, whilst retaining an agile and secure feel.
The Ariya NISMO also boasts its own “NISMO mode” option, offering drivers that spine tingling feeling of consistent and smooth acceleration throughout their drive.
CONFIDENCE AND CONTROL DELIVERED THROUGH OUR e-4ORCE TECHNOLOGY
Ariya NISMO is equipped with e-4ORCE technology tunned and improved to give drivers confidence in all conditions. This technology, specifically adapted for the NISMO consumer, allows for elite performance across all four wheels, providing an authentic sports car experience.
NISMO e-4ORCE can suppress understeer in high-acceleration moments, whilst offering a 12% reduction in line tracing performance in comparison with the base e-4ORCE technology. This technology delivers a performance for Ariya NISMO drivers that is high in stability and security, but still thrillingly dynamic.
RAPID CHARGING FOR UNINTERRUPTED ADVENTURES
The Ariya NISMO includes a 22kW on-board charger, unique amongst competitors in Europe. This allows for rapid charging on all AC public chargers, giving users the ability to plug in on-the-go at any number of public stations.
BOLD, SLEEK DESIGN THAT DEMANDS ATTENTION
With a wide and low imposing presence, the Ariya NISMO’s smart precision is set to turn heads. With a nimble wing-shaped design motif that evokes the feeling of flying like a glider, it also features a door finisher that reduces the step between the door panel and creates a feeling of seamless integration. At the rear of the vehicle, the shaved sculptural surface reinforces its strong presence, with the expanded lower bumper, in both length and width, increasing negative pressure between the vehicle and the road, improving downforce.
The NISMO brand can be felt throughout the vehicle – inside, the NISMO emblem is proudly embossed on the seats and appears on the displays. On the outside, the NISMO logo is embossed on the wheels, with its presence also loud and clear on the front and rear of the vehicle.
This exciting addition to the Ariya line-up in Europe will be available in four colours, including NISMO Stealth Grey – with with a black roof. The colours are complemented by a spicy red accent around the lower body trim, designed to give an eye-catching flourish to an already highly slick model.
REDEFINED INTERIOR
The all-new Ariya NISMO features a meticulously redesigned interior, from the seats to its interior finishings, providing a premium experience for all. The seats, trimmed in a suede-like material, offer enhanced support and posture for a superior experience.
The essence of NISMO is entwined throughout the interior with red stitching on the steering wheel, along with NISMO’s signature red accents throughout, creating a sporty and high-quality ambiance. This elegant atmosphere is further enhanced by the blackened open-pore wood trim used throughout the vehicle, offering a sophisticated and modern aesthetic. Nissan’s signature red ‘ANDON’ lighting also sets the mood, beautifully illuminating the vehicle.
Sales of the vehicle are expected in Europe from January 2025 and the Ariya NISMO will be sold in all European markets where the crossover is already available (except Cyprus, Malta and Northern Ireland).
