The Nissan ARIYA: Electric Crossover

The Nissan ARIYA is Nissan’s first all-electric coupé crossover– offers powerful acceleration and smooth, quiet operation, as well as an interior with a welcoming, luxurious lounge-like atmosphere. Its stress-free autonomous driving features, voice personal assistance and seamless connectivity heighten on-road confidence and provides a welcoming environment for the driver and passengers. And with an estimated range of up to 310 miles (based on WLTP combined cycle, subject to homologation), ARIYA is the perfect partner for daily commutes and road trips alike.

Design

ARIYA is the stunning expression of Nissan’s vision. A single horizon line replaces fussy contours. Thin LED headlights shine at night, then disappear during the day. The final touch? An illuminated badge to light the way forward. A newly-developed exterior two-tone Copper colour package, a combination of copper with a black roof.

Exterior

The ARIYA is Nissan’s ultimate expression of style and technology, with each complementing the other in aesthetics and function. The front of the vehicle appears seamless, elegant and fresh. It’s highlighted by a shield - a re-imagined grille. The shield, incorporating a 3-D, traditional Japanese kumiko pattern just under the smooth surface, protects sensing equipment used for ProPILOT functions and Intelligent Key detection without the aesthetics interrupting operation. Thin LED headlamps, constructed with four 20-millimetre mini-projectors, are combined with sequential turn signals to reinvent Nissan’s signature V-motion design. The ARIYA has a low, sleek roofline, sporty, five-spoke, 19-inch aluminum wheels (20-inch wheels also available, depending on the grade).

The rear of the ARIYA is equally striking, characterised by a steeply raked C-pillar that blends flawlessly into the rear deck. The one-piece light blade, representing the rear combination lamps, has been engineered to give a blackout effect when parked, and a consistent red illumination when in use. Rear fender flares and a high-mounted rear wing signal the ARIYA's powerful EV capabilities.

Interior

The Nissan ARIYA is refreshingly open, so you can breathe and relax. If you want a few extra inches, slide the centre console back. The flat floor adds to the spacious feel, while the glowing lantern creates a serene ambience. The ARIYA’s minimalist dashboard, which blends seamlessly with the shape of the cabin, transitioning into the doors. It’s devoid of buttons and switches found in conventional vehicles. Primary climate control functions are integrated into the centre dash in the form of capacitive haptic switches that offer the same feeling as mechanical switches by vibrating when touched. They only appear when the car is turned on, providing a technological yet luxury touch to the cockpit area.

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 thin front seats are positioned to obscure the B-pillar, offering occupants an outward panoramic view. The ARIYA is also equipped with a sunroof giving its openness and even stronger feel.
