Nissan has launched the Ariya NISMO, which was unveiled in January at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2024. Nissan planned its initial sales to start in Japan in June for NISMO’s flagship EV model.
Customers can choose between two Ariya NISMO models, the B6 e-4ORCE and the B9 e-4ORCE. The former features a 66 kWh battery and produces a maximum 362bhp and 560Nm of torque. The latter, outfitted with a 91 kWh battery, generates a peak output of 429bhp and 600 Nm of torque.
Nissan says that the Ariya’s bumpers, rear spoilers and door mouldings, reduce drag and generate greater downforce at higher speeds.
A black-based interior with a red accent gives the cabin a sporty appearance, while the special NISMO seats’ grip and fit create a sense of being one with the car. Activating NISMO mode in vehicles equipped with the NISMO-exclusive BOSE Premium Sound System produces a Formula E racing sound, which Nissan says ‘boosts driving excitement’.
Nissan has also announced that it will resume accepting orders in the Japan market for the Ariya B2 2WD grade, and it will launch other models including the B6 e-4ORCE, B9 2WD, B9 e-4ORCE and B9 e-4ORCE premium grades.
