Introducing the Ariya Nismo, where Nissan’s celebrated NISMO tradition meets groundbreaking performance and sleek Japanese aesthetics.
This powerful vehicle enhances the already impressive 87kWh Ariya e-4ORCE, promising an extraordinary driving experience that stands apart from the rest.
Supreme Speed and Precision
The Ariya Nismo is powered by a finely tuned NISMO powertrain that delivers an astonishing output of 435 PS (429 HP / 320 kW), providing a nearly 130 PS increase over its standard counterpart.
With a powerful torque of 600 Nm, this electric marvel can sprint from 0 to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) in just five seconds and accelerate from 50 to 70 mph (80-120 km/h) in merely 2.4 seconds.
But the excitement doesn’t end with acceleration.
The Ariya Nismo is also engineered for exceptional agility and cornering performance.
Thanks to advanced upgrades in its e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive system, it can adjust power to each wheel an incredible 10,000 times per second, ensuring remarkable grip.
The new 60:40 rear torque bias enhances the sporty driving feel, boosting line-tracing capability by 12% over previous models.
The redesigned suspension system contributes to its dynamic performance, featuring updated stabilizers, advanced spring rates, and refined shock settings that enhance stability and responsiveness at high speeds.
Improved steering feedback creates a direct connection with the road, allowing drivers to feel every turn and movement.
The cutting-edge ‘i-Booster’ technology optimizes braking efficiency with advanced regeneration tuning and specially designed tires.
This combination empowers drivers to embrace the spirited characteristics of a NISMO vehicle while ensuring utmost safety.
An added ‘NISMO’ driving mode fine-tunes vehicle responsiveness for an exhilarating ride.
As emphasized by a senior Nissan executive, the Ariya Nismo combines sports car heritage with zero-emission technology, offering a thrilling experience on winding roads while ensuring comfort in urban and highway driving scenarios.
Bold Design Meets Superior Aerodynamics
The design of the Ariya Nismo reflects its sporty spirit, seamlessly blending elegance with performance-focused features that demand attention on the road.
Each design element has been carefully considered to enhance not only the vehicle’s look but also its functionality.
Aerodynamic updates, like spoilers and air curtains, help streamline airflow and reduce drag.
A redesigned front splitter, vortex-generating canards, extended lower bumpers, dual diffusers, and a ducktail spoiler work in harmony to lower the lift coefficient by an impressive 40%, bringing the drag coefficient down to CL 0.11—compared to CL 0.18 of the standard model.
Adding to its striking presence, the Ariya Nismo is fitted with unique 20-inch ENKEI wheels, featuring the ‘NISMO’ logo and premium Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires.
These wheels enhance grip and stability while being lightweight, thanks to an advanced casting technique that achieves strength akin to forged wheels.
Elegance and Comfort Inside
Step inside the Ariya Nismo, and you’ll find a cabin that defines luxury and sophistication.
The seats, upholstered with a suede-like material and decorated with stylish NISMO logos, blend sporty appeal with exceptional comfort, providing excellent support during high-speed maneuvers.
The NISMO influence extends throughout the interior, highlighted by new digital displays, striking red stitching on the steering wheel, and tasteful accents in NISMO-red, creating an atmosphere that is both sporty and upscale.
The addition of a refined blackened wood texture beautifully ties together modernity with practicality.
A Nissan executive remarked on the thrilling experience the electric powertrain offers, with instant torque and precise handling.
The Ariya Nismo not only captivates visually but also delivers an exhilarating drive, appealing to automotive enthusiasts without sacrificing the desirable features that customers cherish.
The Ariya Nismo will be available in a range of sophisticated colors, including Gun Grey, Pearl Black, and eye-catching two-tone options like White Pearl and Stealth Grey.
Sales are expected to kick off in January 2025 across select European markets, with a few exceptions, including Cyprus, Malta, and Northern Ireland.
