Dongfeng Nissan, one of The Three Major Automobile Companies in China, and a joint venture with Nissan Motor Corporation, one of Japan's three major automobile companies, have been positioned as the best brand in China's passenger car market since its establishment in 2003.

Its model range is wide, including small cars, medium-sized cars, large and medium-sized cars, MPVs, SUVs, etc., and there is no shortage of brilliant works in various types of models. As far as SUV models are concerned, Dongfeng Nissan's X-Trail not only has high visibility but has maintained relatively good sales.

According to the recently released trailer and the high-profile marketing model of 88 yuan blind subscription intention, the new model Dongfeng Nissan Ariya as the brand's first high-end pure electric SUV does not know whether it can become another brilliant work in the fierce competition of the new era of pure electricity.

The exterior is completely new

The details are rich

First of all, in terms of appearance, Ariya adopts the brand's latest V-Motion design, which is basically the same as the overseas version.

The front part of the car is 1850mm wide and 1655mm high, and the front face design of the ink shadow crystal shield is integrated with the LED lights, which forms the visual effect of the overall atmosphere, coupled with the embellishment of the tear stain effect headlight components, and adds the sports style of the vehicle.

If you look closely, the Japanese wood grain carved figure officially called "Kumiko" at the front grille represents the inheritance of the classic. Ariya's daytime running lights, unlike the traditional headlights, evolved into Nissan's iconic V-Motion front face, forming a technologically inspired "shield" shield.

The side body has a wheelbase of 2755mm and a length of 4595mm. The curved soft body, smooth lines, dynamic and flowing shape, blackened wheel eyebrows echo the double shark fin design of the roof to create an overall avant-garde atmosphere, 235/55R19 or 255/45R20 two different specifications of low wind resistance wheel rim enhance the visual tension of the vehicle.

The vehicle's higher ground clearance places the wheels closer to the four corners of the body, while the electrified platform shortens the front suspension further, while the forward thrust design at the base of the front windshield is more in line with smooth aerodynamic characteristics.

Turning to the rear, the through-taillight design and side-by-side light source layout cater to the current fashion trend, and the Nissan LOGO hanging in the central black cover is the symbol of the Sino-Japanese joint venture.

The arched design ends at the airflow diffuser at the rear of the car, allowing the cockpit part of the vehicle to extend further outwards, allowing airflow to pass through while continuing the smoothness of the overall shape.

The 12.3 inch dual screen is very visually impactful

The floating center console can be moved

In terms of interior, the overall design style of the new car is based on the sense of science and technology and simplicity. The 12.3-inch integrated screen features a seamless wavy shape and horizontal layout, giving the driver a panoramic and spacious interior.

The wood grain light hidden touch panel below the screen with copper-colored fine stripe decoration presents a state of width and level, and the conductivity of the copper-colored decoration itself highlights the characteristics of futurism. The floating center console can be moved back and forth, allowing people to make better use of the new electrified platform space structure.

Equipped with the wave-type integrated screen is the intelligent control pilot technology of ProPILOT 2.0, which is a set of autonomous driving system without human intervention, and the whole system assists driving by improving the handling of the vehicle, making driving more smooth and comfortable, which is the embodiment of Ariya's "Japanese hospitality".

In addition, the driver can also carry out intelligent human-computer interaction through the Amazon Alexa system, and realize a series of functions such as opening the door, checking the battery status, adjusting the temperature in the car, and opening navigation and entertainment items by exchanging "Hi Alexa". The "Boulder" display not only displays all the information in the right place, but also synchronizes it on the head-up display in front of the driver.

The leg space of the vehicle adopts the "calm and road" space design, coupled with the "line light" lighting design with a Japanese "group" pattern on both sides, so that the design of the interior of the door also highlights the style of "eternal Japanese futurism".

The dual motor system is full of power

The water-cooled battery has a fast charging function

In terms of power, the design team caters to consumers who are looking for performance, power and stimulation, equipped with a four-wheel drive version of Nissan's e-4ORCE dual-motor all-wheel control technology, and equipped with two capacity batteries of 63Kwh and 87Kwh.

Inheriting the NISSAN GT-R model ATTESA system, but also absorbing the development experience of the Nissan Tudong intelligent 4 *4 system, so that the front motor and the rear motor can independently control traction and braking, so that each four-wheel hydraulic brake system can control the braking system, so that even when braking, the vehicle can have a sense of smoothness, and can also obtain a good sense of operation when cornering.

In terms of batteries, a new water-cooled battery temperature control system is adopted, which has the advantage of maintaining the best performance of the battery in both high or low temperature environments, and when using high-power fast charging, it can restore the cruising range of 375 kilometers in 30 minutes.

This more compact motor design also moves the vehicle's air conditioning unit forward appropriately, thereby increasing the space in the cockpit. The flatter and slimmer battery components, placed on the bottom of the vehicle, further reduce the vehicle's center of gravity and improve driving and handling performance.

The launch of Dongfeng Nissan Ariaya, as a catalyst for adjusting the product thinking of the vehicle brand, was called "unique" and "miracle power" by the brand's chief operating officer, Asivani Gupta, as the best new Nissan that reflects the advantages of this vigorous launch, from the two aspects of intelligent control pilot technology and Nissan automobile safety technology, both to improve the confidence of drivers.

It is hoped that this new milestone can become a new chapter in the development history of Dongfeng Nissan. 【iDailycar】
