Nissan has revealed key specifications and performance data for the highly anticipated Ariya NISMO, marking the return of the iconic NISMO brand to Europe. This new flagship electric vehicle blends Nissan‘s latest EV technology with motorsport-inspired upgrades, delivering a thrilling and accessible driving experience.
Aerodynamic Excellence
The Ariya NISMO boasts a meticulously engineered aerodynamic design, featuring new spoilers, air curtains, and a front splitter inspired by Formula E. These enhancements reduce drag and improve airflow, resulting in a 40% reduction in lift coefficient compared to the standard Ariya.
Powerful Performance
Under the hood, the Ariya NISMO packs a punch with a NISMO-tuned powertrain that delivers 435 PS (429 HP / 320 kW) and 600 Nm of torque. This translates to a 0-62 mph acceleration time of just five seconds and an impressive 50-70 mph sprint in 2.4 seconds.
Enhanced Handling
The Ariya NISMO’s e-4ORCE four-wheel-drive system has been refined to provide even greater turning and lateral forces than the GT-R NISMO. With a new 60:40 rear-bias and 10,000 times per second adjustments to power distribution, the system delivers a more engaging and sporty driving experience.
Premium Interior
The Ariya NISMO’s interior features a redesigned cabin with premium materials and NISMO-inspired accents. The seats are specifically designed for sporty driving, offering enhanced support and comfort.
Availability and Pricing
The Ariya NISMO will be available in a single standard launch specification with a NISMO Stealth Grey exterior finish. Sales are expected to begin in January 2025, with priority access available to UK customers who contact their local Nissan dealer.
