To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the NISMO sports brand, Nissan has announced a new version of the best-selling Ariya.
The best-selling Nissan Ariya is about to get an upgrade. Say hello to the Ariya NISMO which is set to be released in celebration of the NISMO brand’s 40th anniversary.
This marks the UK return of the NISMO brand which will see existing Nissan models given a high-performance upgrade.
The Ariya NISMO will also be the first fully electric car in the NISMO brand.
Nissan has given the Ariya several feature upgrades to create an exhilarating drive. These include:
Taking inspiration from Japanese design principles, drag is reduced and downforce is greater.
Offering enhanced performance in conjunction with a tuned Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC). Sensors are used to control brake pressure in certain conditions by monitoring motion and driver input.
The system delivers improved torque distribution to the wheels for enhanced power.
Drive with confidence in all weather conditions thanks to increased stopping power.
Working with the e-4ORCE system, front and rear suspension are maximised to improve performance and control.
Inside the interior are design features exclusive to the Ariya NISMO. These include ergonomically designed seats boasting a Formula E inspired look. While black alcantara upholstery is used throughout with racing red accents.
The exterior looks just as good with a range of design upgrades. At the front, a revised front bumper is instantly recognisable with large air vents and a red lower splitter.
There’s also sporty alloy wheels and an aggressively styled bumper to show off its performance credentials. Not forgetting the striking NISMO badge.
Mayra Gonzalez, Divisional Vice President of Marketing & Sales at Nissan Europe, said:
“NISMO is back in Europe! We are bringing this exciting brand back into our market with a new and refreshed model. As we push forward the electrification of our lineup, it’s essential that we continue to offer elite and exciting models to customers and NISMO enthusiasts as well”.
“Ariya NISMO strikes the perfect balance of the immediate response and acceleration of an all-electric car with the mechanical fine-tuning of a sports car, resulting in an outstanding car for day-to-day driving. With its striking design and stance, get ready to stand out from the crowd!”
There’s currently no release date for the new Nissan Ariya Nismo. But more information is set to be announced later this year.
