Nissan definitely needs to release something more popular to stay competitive here
Nissan launched the Ariya Nismo electric vehicle (EV) in Japan and this Nissan Ariya Nismo was unveiled in January at Tokyo Auto Salon 2024 with initial sales slated to start in Japan in June. It also comes with two battery pack configurations, specifically a 66kWh unit making 362bhp and 560Nm of torque as well as a 91kWh unit making 429bhp and 600Nm of torque.
The stylish and futuristic crossover SUV is Nismo’s flagship EV model. It offers powerful acceleration, a spacious upgraded cabin and the quiet operation unique to EVs. We know that some other Japanese automakers seem to outclass Nissan sales here by a landslide in Malaysia so perhaps this vehicle coming here may help it gain a slice of the sales pie.
Moreover, based on the Ariya e-4ORCE and featuring a dynamic new-generation EV Nismo design, the Nissan Ariya Nismo delivers greater confidence and peace of mind thanks to its extremely powerful yet smooth acceleration, exemplary handling and stellar aerodynamic performance, all brought about by Nismo’s exclusive tuning.
Performance that’s extremely dynamic yet smooth and easy to control is produced by the motor’s approximately 10 percent greater peak output combined with special acceleration tuning and an exclusive Nismo driving mode that maximises response. The (fake engine) sound produced is evocative of Formula E racing, further adding to the excitement.
Nismo’s special tuning for each chassis component combined with e-4ORCE electric-drive four-wheel-control technology and dedicated tires mounted on highly rigid 20-inch aluminium wheels on the Nissan Ariya Nismo which generates superior stability and turn-in ability as well as better line-tracing and enhanced cornering ability at high speeds.
The exterior blends the Ariya’s premium quality with Nismo’s dynamism. Aerodynamic performance is improved thanks to race-derived technologies that reduce drag and provide greater downforce at higher speeds, factors particularly important for EVs. After all, range anxiety is often a very big concern when considering an EV purchase.
Meanwhile, the cabin exudes a premium air with high quality features throughout, including specially designed Nismo seats and trim. All this adds an element of sportiness to the Nissan Ariya Nismo and helps give it an edge very few EVs try to capitalise on as most of them do not feature very sporty and aggressive styling both inside and out.
So what do you guys think? Would you like to see the Nissan Ariya Nismo here in Malaysia? While it is highly unlikely, it is not impossible so just keep hoping.
