Sporty design and aerodynamics
The Nissan Ariya Nismo has a decidedly sporty look, combining aggressive styling with aerodynamic efficiency. This electric SUV features the iconic touches of the NISMO range, with red accents on the body underlining its dynamic character. The distinctive front bumper, with its splitter-like blade, improves aerodynamic downforce, while the subtly recessed rocker panels optimise airflow.
At the rear, a high-mounted spoiler and a body-coloured spoiler complete the aerodynamic profile. The 20-inch Enkkei alloy wheels enhance the vehicle's sporty appearance. This aerodynamic design is not just aesthetically pleasing; it increases the lift coefficient by 40% compared with the standard Ariya, improving stability and handling at high speeds.
The Nissan Ariya Nismo is also available in an exclusive new 'NISMO Stealth Grey' colour, combined with a contrasting black roof, further emphasising its sporty identity.
Electrifying performance
The new Nissan Ariya Nismo redefines performance standards for electric SUVs. With an impressive 435 hp, this vehicle combines strength and efficiency. Its twin-engine e-4ORCE configuration gives it sophisticated all-wheel drive, optimising the distribution of torque between the axles. The figures speak for themselves:
- Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5 seconds
- Maximum torque of 600 Nm for lightning-fast acceleration
- From 80 to 120 km/h in just 2.4 seconds
The Ariya Nismo also benefits from a specially tuned suspension, with springs and dampers optimised for precise handling. This sporty version boasts 12% more cornering stability than the standard Ariya.
Equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport EV tyres and refined aerodynamics, the Nissan Ariya Nismo promises an electrifying driving experience, combining performance and fuel efficiency.
e-4ORCE technology and optimised chassis
It features advanced e-4ORCE technology, specially optimised to enhance the dynamic performance of the electric SUV. This intelligent all-wheel drive, coupled with independent braking at each wheel, delivers exceptional stability and handling. Nissan engineers have taken chassis development one step further for this sporty version:
- Improved suspension, springs, stabiliser bars and shock absorbers for better control of body movement
- Speed-dependent variable power steering, working in conjunction with the suspension
- Reduced understeer during phases of high acceleration thanks to the optimisation of e-4ORCE technology
These improvements translate into a 12% increase in cornering stability compared to a standard Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE. The Nissan Ariya Nismo SUV also benefits from Michelin Pilot Sport EV tyres, specially designed to exploit the full potential of this high-performance electric SUV. With a starting price of €59,300, the Ariya Nismo offers a competitive price/performance ratio in the sporty electric SUV segment.
Autonomy and recharging
The sporty version of this electric SUV offers a range of WLTP of 417 km thanks to its battery of 87 kWh. This performance, while respectable, still falls short of some of its rivals, such as the Tesla Model Y. In terms of recharging, the Ariya Nismo offers some interesting features:
- Fast charging: Maximum DC capacity of 130 kW, enabling charging from 20% to 80% in around 40 minutes.
- Home charging: Equipped with a 22 kW on-board charger, making it easy to recharge every day.
- Connector: Type 2 for AC and DC charging CCS Combo for rapid DC charging.
The average fuel consumption of the Nissan Ariya Nismo is around 20 kWh/100 km, which is reasonable given its performance and weight of 2.2 tonnes. Although the range and charging speed are not the most impressive on the market, they are still sufficient for everyday use and occasional longer journeys.
