After pushing EVs for years with its sensible-but-limited Leaf<\/a>, Nissan took another step into electrified vehicles by unveiling its Ariya<\/a>. With sharp looks that stay close to last year’s concept vehicle<\/a>, the large crossover promises 0-60 MPH in under 5 seconds, which execs said is on par with their Z sports car.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n It will come in single motor FWD (215 HP) and dual-motor “e-4ORCE” AWD (389 HP) versions, and include Nissan’s e-Pedal feature that allows drivers to accelerate, slow down and brake all using a single pedal. There’s also two different battery options, with an 63kWh battery and an optional 87kWh battery — in the single-motor, 2WD version it should be capable of up to 300 miles of range on a charge. As Autoblog<\/em><\/a> notes, opting for the extra motor will cut down its range, and slightly reduce interior cargo space, going from 16.5 cubic feet to 14.6.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Inside, designers claim this crossover is more like a lounge than a traditional vehicle cabin. It has a voice recognition system to control the features, and supports over-the-air updates. Tech features range from its ProPilot 2.0 driver assists<\/a> to integration with smart home technology, built-in Amazon Alexa and, of course, support for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.<\/p>\n According to Nissan’s press materials, the Ariya will go on sale in Japan in mid-2021, with debuts in the US and Canada later next year.<\/p>\n https:\/\/youtu.be\/IYkLjcQP26M<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n Tags:<\/b> Richard Lawler<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gallery: Nissan Ariya | 18 Photos<\/h4>\n
