The pinnacle of electric SUVs! The new 2024 Nissan Ariya equipped with a high-performance battery

Nissan has resumed accepting orders for the B6 2WD grade of its new electric vehicle (EV) crossover SUV, the Nissan Ariya. The company also announced that the B6 e-4ORCE, B9 2WD, B9 e-4ORCE, and B9 e-4ORCE Premier will be released in late March 2024. The Nissan Ariya NISMO is scheduled for release in June 2024.

The base model of the new BEV “Ariya,” a 2WD model with a 66kWh battery capacity, “B6,” which was released on November 12, 2021, was originally priced at 5,390,000 yen. With the resumption of sales, all grades will be available, but the price of the “B6” has been raised to 6,591,000 yen.

About the new Nissan Ariya exterior

The exterior of the Ariya embodies Nissan’s new design language and Nissan Intelligent Mobility technology. Its simple yet powerful, modern design reflects “Timeless Japanese Futurism.” The headlights, featuring four distinctive LEDs, are designed to be extremely thin, and Nissan’s design signature “V-Motion” is expressed in white light. When the turn signals are turned on, they also function as “sequential turn signals.” The new Nissan brand logo, symbolizing Nissan, also shines brightly thanks to the LEDs.

As it is a motor-driven EV, there is no need for engine cooling, and the grille is covered with a smoked panel that features a traditional Japanese kumiko pattern in three dimensions and serves to protect the sensors that support advanced technologies such as ProPilot located inside.

The body sides feature a low, smooth roofline, creating an impression of minimal aerodynamic drag. 19-inch and 20-inch aluminum wheels are available, and the straight waistline connecting the front and rear exudes architectural beauty. From any angle, the design exudes beauty and energy.

The rear styling is also impressive, with the smoked horizontally extending rear combination lamps particularly eye-catching. They have a clean look when turned off, but are designed to ensure that the red light is clearly visible when turned on.

About the interior of the new Nissan Ariya

The interior was designed with the Japanese word “ma” (between), which emphasizes the space between things and the time between successive events. The Ariya uses a newly developed platform specifically for EVs, which allows for a flat and spacious floor. By moving the air conditioning unit, which was previously located inside the vehicle, to the motor room, the car has achieved a spacious interior at D-segment level despite its C-segment body size.

Furthermore, the car employs slim-design zero gravity seats, and although EVs are already quiet, the car makes extensive use of sound-proofing materials, achieving an unprecedented level of quietness.

The interior of the Ariya is equipped with two 12.3-inch displays side by side. The wood-grain instrument panel lacks traditional physical switches; instead, when the car is turned on, control switch icons for the air conditioning and other controls appear. These are not simply touch sensors, but haptic switches that vibrate to provide a sense of operation.

The center display can be swiped to display maps, music information, and more. Navigation routes can also be displayed on the meter display, and the two displays are seamlessly connected. Air conditioning and navigation can also be controlled by voice, and the car is equipped with a hybrid voice recognition function that allows operation using natural language. Drivers can be supported by saying “Hello Nissan.” Connecting to the Internet also enables voice recognition in more natural language.

In addition, the Aria is equipped with Amazon Alexa, a voice service provided by Amazon, which allows you to play music, check the weather forecast, call family and friends, control smart home devices, and more, all using just your voice.

The wide center console can be electrically moved back and forth to suit the driver’s seat position. Above it is a newly designed shift knob with “Advanced Ambient Lighting.” Furthermore, the center console is equipped with a Qi-standard wireless charger, allowing wireless charging of smartphones and other devices.

About the new Nissan Ariya advanced driver assistance system

The Ariya is equipped with Nissan’s advanced driver assistance systems, ProPilot 2.0 and ProPilot Remote Parking. Like the Leaf, it also comes with ProPilot Parking.

ProPilot 2.0 uses seven cameras, five radars, and 12 sonar sensors mounted on the vehicle to detect white lines, signs, and surrounding vehicles. It also uses the navigation system and high-precision 3D map data to understand road conditions such as speed limits. This allows hands-off driving within the same lane, ensuring safe and smooth driving, as long as the driver is always paying attention to the road ahead and is ready to quickly and reliably steer in response to road, traffic, and vehicle conditions. It receives high-precision positioning information from sources such as the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System, allowing it to determine the vehicle’s location with even greater accuracy. The driving assistance status is displayed in real time on the meter display and head-up display.

“Advanced Ambient Lighting” is linked to the operating status of ProPilot, and changes from white when the driver’s hands are on to green when the hands are off, and blue when the hands are off. A driver monitor camera mounted on the steering column checks whether the driver is looking straight ahead, and if it determines that the driver is not, it sounds an audible warning to alert the driver. If this condition persists during hands-off driving, the hazard lights are activated and the vehicle is brought to a swift stop.

“ProPilot Parking” automatically detects available parking spaces and assists with the necessary parking maneuvers. It supports forward parking, reverse parking, and parallel parking in three simple steps, reducing the driver’s parking stress. It also comes equipped with “ProPilot Remote Parking” (for the Japanese market), which allows the driver to remotely control parking from outside the vehicle.

Nissan’s new Ariya features advanced four-wheel control technology “e-4ORCE”

The drive force control, brake control and chassis control technologies from the GT-R’s ATTESA E-TS (Electronic Torque Split All-Wheel Drive System) and the Nissan X-Trail’s Intelligent 4×4 system, combined with Nissan’s many years of experience developing EVs and advanced all-wheel drive systems, further enhance e-4ORCE. e-4ORCE is equipped with two electric motors, one at the front and one at the rear, and can control the torque of each independently.

Not only does it improve traction performance during acceleration, but it also controls the vehicle body to suppress shaking by adjusting the amount of regeneration from the front and rear motors during deceleration, reducing body sinking during braking, etc. This results in more stable driving performance and a more comfortable ride.

Nissan’s new “Ariya” newly developed EV-only platform

The newly developed EV-specific platform is designed to position the battery in the center of the vehicle body, achieving a low center of gravity and even front-to-rear weight distribution. Additionally, a cross member is placed inside the battery case, ensuring high rigidity even with a flat floor without a floor tunnel. Furthermore, high-rigidity parts are used for the suspension, which not only improves handling stability but also provides a comfortable, smooth ride and exceptional quietness.

Nissan’s new “Ariya” newly developed EV powertrain

The newly developed EV powertrain boasts excellent performance in all models. The newly developed motor reduces power consumption at high speeds, achieving a driving range of up to 610 km on a single charge (2WD 90 kWh battery model, WLTC mode, internal measurement). It also supports fast charging of up to 130 kW and is equipped with a water-cooled temperature control system that maintains a constant battery temperature, allowing up to 375 km of charging time with a 30-minute fast charge.

Nissan is developing new charging infrastructure in preparation for the launch of the Ariya. The company is currently coordinating with partners to install CHAdeMO rapid chargers with a maximum output of 150 kW in highly public locations across the country by the end of fiscal year 2021. This will enable faster charging times and is expected to improve the convenience of EVs.
