After waiting for some time, Nissan finally introduced a high-performance electric vehicle (EV), Ariya Nismo. This car was officially launched at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2024 in Japan, starting today.

With the launch of this crossover, Ariya Nismo became the second high-performance EV introduced by Nissan after Leaf Nismo in 2018. Like the Nismo Leaf, Ariya Nismo offers aggressive and faster acceleration with improved control.

Quoted from the manufacturer's official website, Friday, January 12, Nismo was also involved in the development of Ariya and was equipped with a very stiff 20-inch rim, providing stability and better turnability, supported by tires measuring 255/45R20. This tuning is combined with the specially developed four-wheeled e-4ORCE technology.

The exterior is decorated with a more sporting bodykit, optimizing the aerodynamic side by reducing the drag style and providing greater downforce when traveling at high speed.

On the inside, Ariya Nismo features a set of bucket seats, a more sporting steering wheel, a black rooftop, and various Nismo-style aggressive red accents.

For the engine, this car is equipped with a double electric motor capable of generating up to 362 dk of power and 560 Nm of torque for the basic variant, B6. Meanwhile, the highest variant, B9, reaches 429 dk of power and 600 Nm of torque.

These two variants also have different battery capacities, with B6 using a 66 kWh battery, while B9 is powered by a 91 kWh battery. However, unfortunately, this Japanese manufacturer has not disclosed specific travel distances for each type.
