In terms of power, the Ariya front-drive model has 215 horsepower and 221 pounds of torque (about 230 Nm); the all-wheel-drive version has 238 horsepower.
Nissan Aria has enough power, but foreign media in the test drive, because of some limitations, can not go to the high speed to actually test the acceleration performance of this car. Nissan said that the acceleration time of the single-motor front-drive model is about 7.2 seconds per hour from 0 to 60 mph (about 97 km), but due to the smooth and instant torque output of the electric powertrain, the actual acceleration time of the new car will be faster.

Test drive is a front-wheel drive, single-motor model, in the test drive process through the hair card bend, wide road acceleration and other scenes, the power output of the new car is very smooth.
Through the test drive, foreign media believe that Ariya is an SUV that is mainly comfortable and more suitable for home use, and it cannot be called a performance car.
In terms of charging performance, Nissan Ariya's peak charging power is as high as 130kW (CCS standard), and in the case of fast charging, the charging time of 10% to 80% of the 87kWh battery pack is about 45 minutes.
Third, with L2 level automatic driving to support OTA upgrades
For smart driving, Ariya comes standard with the Nissan Safety Shield 360 Active Safety Features Kit. Features include blind spot and lane departure warnings, automatic emergency braking for pedestrian detection, rear crossing traffic alerts, automatic rear braking and high beam assist.
Hardware, Ariya is also equipped with parking sensors and a 360-degree camera.
In addition, Ariya will also be equipped with ProPilot 2.0, Nissan's next-generation assisted driving technology, which will enable L2 level autonomous driving, allowing owners to choose self-driving on a single lane, and can also perform automatic cruising on highways, and be able to determine suitable overtaking locations based on navigation data.
At the same time, Ariya is also equipped with a remote intelligent control parking system, which supports automatic side parking and automatic reversing into storage.
Notably, this car is nissan's first model to support OTA upgrades.
Conclusion: The electric SUV market is about to usher in new players
It can be seen from the test drive of foreign media that Nissan Ariya is not a model with power as the selling point, this car is modern in shape, the power is smooth, and it brings electric vehicles into people's lives in a simple and elegant form.
After the official listing of Ariya, Nissan will further exert its strength in pure electricity and find its own advantages in the pure electricity market.
