Nissan Ariya Crossover (2020)

Nissan Ariya is the company's first all-electric crossover. As a key piece of Nissan's effort of electrifying its vehicle lineup, the Nissan Ariya is built on an all-new Alliance-developed EV platform. Representing the three main pillars of Nissan Intelligent Mobility (Intelligent Power, Intelligent Drive and Intelligent Integration), the Ariya combines advanced electric-vehicle technology with a new level of seamless human-machine interface connectivity, offering an entirely new driving experience.

The Ariya's all-electric drivetrain combines excellent power delivery, charging capabilities and range. It offers two-wheel-drive and e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive versions, as well as two different battery sizes. The e-4ORCE models, equipped with an additional rear electric motor, enjoys near 50:50 front/rear weight distribution.

The Ariya is also the most technologically advanced Nissan car to date, thanks to the ProPILOT 2.0 advanced driver assistance system and the ProPILOT Remote Park and e-Pedal features.

e-Pedal, first introduced in the Nissan LEAF electric car, allows the driver to launch, accelerate and decelerate using only the accelerator pedal. e-Pedal works by initiating the electric motor to start the deceleration process of the vehicle when easing off the accelerator pedal. On low-traction surfaces, the brakes are applied simultaneously with the motor, allowing all four wheels to safely slow down the vehicle. On models equipped with e-4ORCE, regenerative torque is distributed not only to the front wheels, but also the rear.

Nissan's designers took advantage of the car's new EV platform, which allows for a flat floor, and its compact climate control components to give the Ariya the most spacious cabin in its class. The lounge-like interior features Zero Gravity seats.
