The market demand for compact SUVs is very large, with the advancement of pure electrification, many independent brands have launched compact pure electric SUVs for everyone to choose, there are BYD Song PLUS EV, AION V, Nezha U, WM EX5, etc., but the lineup of joint venture brands seems to have not kept up.
Recently, Dongfeng Nissan officially released its new pure electric SUV - Ariya, and opened blind booking. The new car provides 7 kinds of appearance color matching options, only need to pay 88 yuan intention to pay, you can enjoy the privilege box, the first batch of product experience officer and other rights.
Ariya was born in the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance's new exclusive pure electric platform CMF-EV, with highlights such as high space utilization and e-4ORCE four-wheel drive system.
The appearance of the Ariya is highly consistent with the overseas version, inheriting and evolving the design language of Nissan V-Motion.
The overall shape of the tram under V-Motion is more sci-fi, with a rounded and full body and simple lines. The headlights are small in size, and the iconic angled LED daytime running lights become longer. The middle net is a three-dimensional closed design, and there are conspicuous cooling slots on both sides to optimize the front airflow, and the LOGO in the middle can also be lit.
The side waistline runs from the front of the car to the rear of the car, creating a sense of power through light and shadow effects. The black roof with gray lines pulls out the slip-on shape, and the low wind resistance wheels are 20 inches.
The rear of the car has a spoiler tail, and in addition to the through taillights, the lower bumper is subtracted and the overall is quite flat.
In terms of body size, the new car has a length, width and height of 4603/1900/1654mm, and a wheelbase of 2775mm. This figure is close to that of Nissan X-Trail, the Ariya will be 78mm shorter, but the wheelbase is more than 69mm, which is the normal level of similar models.
Compared with the personality of the appearance, Ariya's interior layout is more conventional, double steering wheel, 12.3-inch dual screen, but in the details is a work of effort.
The interior of the car is dominated by black, embellished with gold decorations, the center console is covered with stitched leather, and the wood grain decoration is very homely. There are very few physical buttons, and they are basically replaced by virtual touch buttons, but fortunately, they all have vibration feedback.
The air conditioner outlet adopts a hidden design, the entire transmission gear table can be moved forward and backward, and the main passenger seat is opened, and the practicality is enhanced. The electronic gear of the piano paint is small and delicate, and a wireless charging board is also provided.
In terms of power, Ariya will offer two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions. The entry-level motor uses a front-drive design with a maximum power of 160 kW, a peak torque of 300 Nm and a maximum cruising range of 610 km.
The dual motors have a maximum power of 320 kW and a maximum speed of 200 km/h, matching the e-4ORCE four-wheel drive and torque distribution system.
The maximum power of the front and rear motors of the overseas version is 250/290 kW, respectively, and the peak torque is 600 Nm. Batteries with capacities of 87kWh and 63kWh are available, with a range of 430-610km depending on the model WLC.
Ariya is equipped with ProPILOT 2.0 intelligent control pilot technology, which uses map data to enable vehicles to automatically drive along preset routes, equivalent to Xiaopeng's NGP function. However, the specific configuration of the new car has not yet been announced, so it is not known whether the domestic Ariya will be equipped.
Ariya's pre-tax price in the United States is 38450-51450 US dollars (about 25-33.45 million yuan), which is much more expensive than the US version of Qi jun, and it is not cheaper than the same level in China.
However, the power of the domestic Aria dual motor version is not as strong as the top of the overseas version, and combined with the price of competitors, Ariya's price in China is expected to be cheaper than the equivalent price.

Nissan is actually the earliest of the top three Japanese companies to transform pure electricity, but it is still one step later than its own brand in China. On the electrification track, the advantages of foreign traditional brands have weakened, and unlike fuel vehicles, joint venture models such as Ariya must come up with unreserved technology, rich configuration, and reasonable prices to maintain their own competitiveness, and it is we consumers who benefit.
