Nissan Ariya Nismo unveiled at Tokyo Auto Salon 2024

MANILA: The Nissan Ariya Nismo made its global debut at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2024 last weekend.

As Nismo's flagship electric vehicle (EV), the sleek and futuristic crossover features a spacious and improved interior, powerful acceleration, and quiet operation that only electric cars can provide.

With its innovative new-generation EV Nismo design, excellent handling, and exceptional aerodynamic performance — all made possible by Nismo's exclusive tuning — the Ariya Nismo offers drivers boosted confidence and peace of mind.

The Ariya Nismo’s electric motor churns out up to 429 horsepower and 600 Newton-meters of torque. This, combined with the exclusive Nismo driving mode and special acceleration tuning, results in incredibly dynamic yet smooth and controllable performance. The sound produced heightens the thrill as it is evocative of Formula E racing.

The EV is also equipped with a 91-kilowatt-hour battery.

With the e-4orce electric-drive four-wheel-control technology and dedicated tires fitted on the 20-inch aluminum wheels, the electric crossover ensures superior stability and turn-in ability as well as improved cornering ability at high speeds.

The exterior combines the dynamic energy of Nismo with the superior quality of Ariya. Aerodynamic performance has benefited from the race-derived innovations that reduce drag and produce greater downforce at faster speeds.

Measuring 4,650 millimeters (mm) long, 1,850 mm wide, and 1,660 mm tall, the crossover offers ample space to comfortably seat up to five people.

Inside, the Ariya Nismo offers a luxurious vibe thanks to its high-end amenities, which include the specially designed Nismo seats and trim.

The Ariya Nismo will be available in dealerships in Japan later this year.
