The significance of Ariya for Nissan electric cars

The significance of Ariya for Nissan electric cars

Let's review the history of Nissan's trams to understand the significance of Ariya to Nissan in the field of trams.

Nissan's exploration in the field of trams can be traced back to 75 years ago, in 1947, Nissan's first electric car TAMA was born, this car can reach a maximum range of 96.3km, the maximum speed of 35.2 km/h.

In 1996, Nissan launched the first lithium-ion electric model, the Parairie Joy, which had a range of 200km and a top speed of 120km/h. The Parairie Joy was later used as a research vehicle, accompanying the Japanese research team to work in the polar regions for six years.

In 2010, the world's first mass-produced LEAF with a permanent magnet synchronous motor was launched with a range of 200 km and officially opened for sale to the public, and created a glorious moment for Nissan trams.

In just two years, the LEAF set a global sales record of 580,000 units. The LEAF has also won the "World Car of the Year", "European Car of the Year", "Global Mobility Award", "Ward's Top 10 Global Engines " title, as well as the cumulative 21 billion kilometers of battery 0 major safety accidents proud of the results.

However, this is all in the past, after 2014 the LEAF did not continue to glory. 2017 after the Tesla rapid global explosion, since 2020 China's own brand tram also gradually rise, 2022 independent brand tram again strong power, the LEAF in the tram market presence is less and less. Not only does it have no presence in the Chinese market, it has also been forgotten in the international tram market.

However, Nissan is not giving up on pure electric vehicles. At the end of last year, Nissan released its 2030 global strategy, which plans to launch 23 new electric models by 2030, including 15 pure trams. the Ariya is the first model of this strategy, and Nissan is also aiming this car at the Chinese market - the most suitable product for Chinese consumers.

As Takeshi Yamaguchi, Vice President of Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. and General Manager of Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company, said, "People-oriented, technology-based and innovation-driven, this is Nissan's unshaken original intention in 75 years of pure electricity, and it is like a shining star in the night sky, guiding Nissan forward. At this moment, Nissan once again ushered in the moment of innovation baptism, ARIYA will be the most suitable product for Chinese consumers."

Nissan ARIYA price

The Ariya is a new compact pure electric SUV from Dongfeng Nissan, which is based on the CMF-EV platform and has two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions with an official guide price of 272,800-342,800 yuan. The new car's exterior design is basically the same as the overseas version, and the black V-shaped design on the front can be seen as a continuation of the "V-Motion" family design concept.

 

Nissan ARIYA interior

The interior of the Ariya is relatively simple, but it best reflects what Dongfeng Nissan calls the "people-oriented" concept.

For example, the design of the pass-through cockpit. "Sitting inside the car, the flow cloud electronically controlled central armrest box, 150 mm free movement, so that each family member can find the most comfortable position; through the front, so that you can be the main driver or passenger, you can calmly seat, elegant entry and exit."

This design has also been approved by the intended owner. The reserved owner mentioned above said she is a novice driver and her parking skills are not particularly good. Sometimes when she parks in a narrow space, she can't get out, but this design of Ariya allows her to get out from the passenger seat easily.

The biggest point of the Ariya interior design is actually the seats. Dongfeng Nissan has also mentioned several times in its publicity, the comfort of the big sofa.

"Nissan's 'big sofa' reputation has not been forgotten due to the advancement of electrification, but rather compared to the fuel car era ever." Comments from media who have test-driven the car.

The dual 12.3-inch connected screens bring a nice sense of technology inside the car, with the HUD head-up display allowing for three-screen linkage. It is built-in with Nissan's new generation Telematics system, which supports online navigation, audio and video entertainment, remote real-time monitoring, voice control and other functions. At the same time, the car is also equipped with AR real-world navigation function, which is not common in the same level of joint venture brand models.

The newly designed electronic gear lever is very small

The new car has a wood grain touch panel under the air conditioning vents and in the central armrest box. The combination of the virtual buttons and the wood grain panel in the car really enhances the visual effect, and the virtual buttons also have vibration feedback, which makes it easier for daily operation. The center armrest box can be moved back and forth, and the buttons on both sides can be adjusted to slide back and forth by 150mm, which provides good flexibility.

Nissan ARIYA Tire

Nowadays, in order to help electric vehicles improve their range, many tire manufacturers have launched special tires. A few days ago, we learned from Bridgestone official that its ALENZA 001 series tires will be equipped with the Dongfeng Nissan Ariya, the official said the series of tires focus on wet road grip, quiet and energy saving, to 235/55 R19 specification model tires, for example, the market price of about 1,500 yuan / per strip.

Bridgestone officials say the ALENZA 001 tire tread has multiple rounded tread blocks, curved tread block edges, and a 3-dimensional M design to improve wet road grip. At the same time, a wet road performance enhancing polymer has been added to the tread rubber to further enhance wet road safety. It is worth mentioning that the sidewall "rigid rubber strip" with Bridgestone B-SILENT noise reduction technology can further reduce the noise generated by the tire during driving by using the internal silent sponge to absorb the sound waves generated inside the tire and improve the comfort of the car.

In addition, the Bridgestone ALENZA 001 tire features Bridgestone's innovative NanoPro-Tech™️, which combines two polymers in nanometers to disperse silicon molecules and reduce energy loss caused by friction between silicon molecules. In addition to improving wear resistance and wet road safety, this technology helps vehicles save energy and increase their range.
