Nissan Ariya: New Electric Crossover to Start Around $40,000
Nissan recently announced its first all-electric crossover, scheduled to hit the U.S. market in 2021. The Nissan Ariya was revealed to a global audience during a live-streamed event in Yokohama, Japan, by CEO Makoto Uchida and Chief Operating Officer Ashwani Gupta.
“The Ariya, a key model in Nissan’s plan to roll out ten new models in 20 months, demonstrates our commitment to meeting customer demand for crossovers with the most advanced electrified, automated, and connected technologies,” Gupta said.Â
Even though the Ariya is new territory for Nissan, the automaker has a decade of experience manufacturing electric vehicles. The 2010 Nissan Leaf was the company’s first mass-marketed electric vehicle selling over 500,000 units to date. “The company expects sales of its EVs and e-POWER electrified models to be more than one million units a year by the end of fiscal 2023,” Gupta continued. “The Ariya will play a significant role in attaining that goal.”
Is The Nissan Ariya All-Wheel Drive"
The Ariya is available in a two-wheel drive (2WD) version and a new “e-4ORCE” all-wheel drive variant. The long-range 2WD model has a range of approximately 300 miles, based on Nissan’s preliminary estimate. Buyers will also have the option of two different size batteries.
