The ARIYA NISMO brings an extra dose of excitement to the ARIYA line up with a NISMO-tuned 87kWh e-4ORCE powertrain, which boosts the output to a remarkable 435 PS (429 HP), a nearly 130 PS increase over the standard model. With 600 Nm of torque, the ARIYA NISMO rockets from 0 to 62 mph in just 5 seconds, and from 50-70 mph in a blistering 2.4 seconds.
But it’s not just about straight-line speed. True to NISMO’s motorsport pedigree, the ARIYA NISMO is engineered to excel on winding roads and twisty corners as well. With the advanced e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive system, the vehicle can adjust the power to each wheel 10,000 times per second, ensuring optimal grip and control, no matter the conditions. A new 60:40 rear-bias in the system adds a more dynamic, sport-oriented feel, providing sharper handling and enhanced cornering ability. In fact, the ARIYA NISMO outperforms even the revered GT-R NISMO in terms of turning and lateral forces, thanks to the application of Formula E-inspired upgrades and the same ATTESA-based knowledge Nissan uses in its performance models.
The ARIYA NISMO’s sleek, aerodynamic design is not just about aesthetics; it’s built for performance. The car’s design incorporates new spoilers, air curtains, and an updated front splitter inspired by Formula E, all of which reduce drag and help the vehicle slice through the air with ease. These enhancements, along with a ducktail rear spoiler and twin diffuser, contribute to a 40% reduction in lift, improving stability at high speeds.
To complement the performance enhancements, the ARIYA NISMO is equipped with 20-inch NISMO-branded ENKEI wheels, paired with Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires. These tyres, designed specifically for electric vehicles, provide superior grip, offering an exhilarating driving experience while maintaining a high level of on-road security. The use of ENKEI’s proprietary MAT process for the cast-aluminium rims ensures they are lightweight yet strong, improving brake cooling and overall performance.
The ARIYA NISMO’s suspension has been thoroughly reworked to provide exceptional balance, agility, and body control. Upgraded stabilisers, shock absorbers, and spring rates allow the vehicle to better handle high-speed cornering, offering a smooth and stable ride even under aggressive driving conditions. The steering system has also been retuned for more direct feedback, providing a sportier, more engaging feel, particularly when driving at higher speeds. One of the standout features of the ARIYA NISMO is the addition of the i-Booster system, which optimises braking performance with revised regeneration settings, offering greater precision and responsiveness.
The ARIYA NISMO combines all of its thrilling performance with everyday practicality. Despite its high-performance enhancements, it retains the e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive system, which offers superior traction and stability, making it a versatile performer in varying weather conditions.
Inside, the ARIYA NISMO continues the performance-focused theme. The cabin features suede-like seats with NISMO stitching, providing excellent support and comfort for spirited driving. The unique interior design is complemented by the signature red accents throughout the cabin and the sleek, modern blackened wood finish, creating a refined atmosphere while maintaining the sporting spirit of NISMO.
The ARIYA NISMO marks a significant step forward for Nissan’s high-performance electric future, blending cutting-edge electric vehicle technology with the brand’s motorsport engineering expertise. With enhanced power, precision handling, and a striking design, the ARIYA NISMO represents the next chapter in Nissan’s commitment to creating thrilling yet practical vehicles that appeal to driving enthusiasts and eco-conscious consumers alike.
For those seeking an exhilarating driving experience that doesn’t compromise on luxury or practicality, the ARIYA NISMO sets a new benchmark for what a high-performance electric vehicle can achieve.
