I don’t know what everyone’s opinion is on future cars. Is it more like the flying car in “Dragon Ball” or the smart driving car in “Dragon Ball”? In the context of the electrification trend, various car companies have also launched their own solutions. Among them are Tesla, which advocates technology, and Mercedes-Benz, which still continues to be luxurious. The Japanese brand Nissan has also recently introduced its new pure electric model Ariya, so today let us take a look at how it combines technology with oriental elements. It can be called the most handsome in its class
Dongfeng Nissan Ariya is the first model built based on the new Yuntu intelligent pure electric platform and is positioned as a compact pure electric SUV. In terms of design, the entire vehicle adopts a new "Oriental Aesthetics" design concept, but it can be seen that the new vehicle still inherits Nissan's V-Motion design. The new car's styling design integrates advanced technology and oriental elements, adopting eight design aesthetics: hospitality, cutting-edge, breakthrough, blank, subtle, flowing, boundless and wabi-sabi.
The overall styling design of the new car follows the Ariyagain concept car released in 2019. The front face adopts a closed air intake grille design, which is officially called the "Mo Shadow Crystal Shield". In addition, the new car adds a dark pattern design inside the front air intake grille, which makes it look significantly improved in both layering and texture. In order to reflect its identity as a new energy model, the new Nissan Ariya also has a light-emitting LOGO in the front grille, and the overall shape is more radical than Nissan's previous design.
The headlight set of the new car is also developed in accordance with the hospitality design aesthetics. It not only uses the world's thinnest lens and the world's longest daytime running light, but also has the LED light strip that can be clicked step by step when approaching the vehicle with the key. The lighting ceremony is full of sense.
The side lines of the car body adopt flowing design aesthetics. The lines of the entire vehicle draw inspiration from the natural flow. The fastback shape design is outlined with many fold lines, creating a good curved surface light and shadow effect. In addition, although the new car adopts a fastback roof design, in order to better ensure the seating space in the car, the tilt angle of the roof is not large. Instead, a stronger visual effect is created through the silver decorative strip that runs through the tailgate from the front door.
It is reported that the wind resistance coefficient of the new car can reach 0.297Cd, which has good aerodynamic performance. In addition, the new car also adds blackened decoration and wide body surrounds to the bottom of the vehicle to further enhance the sporty feel of the vehicle. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Nissan Ariya are 4603/1900/1654mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2775mm. Compared with models of the same level, the performance is quite satisfactory.
At the rear of the vehicle, the fastback shape is paired with sharper rear lines to further enhance the visual effect of the vehicle. The traditional LOGO is replaced by the letters "NISSAN" on the rear of the car and is embedded in the center of the through-type taillights. This is also a popular and high-end design feature. Is intelligent driving still far away?
Compared with those models with traditional sci-fi exteriors and interiors, Nissan Ariya also brings its understanding of future cars. First of all, the overall shape of the vehicle is still very simple. The interior of the car also uses a simple design and enlarged screens to create a sense of technology. However, the difference is that the Ariya uses a through-passage in the front row, a hidden central storage compartment, and a central armrest box that can slide forward and backward. All these designs will also give passengers in the car better comfort and a sense of technology.
The dual 12.3-inch dual-screen design further enhances the technological atmosphere of the cockpit. Together with the HUD head-up display, three-screen linkage can be achieved. In addition, Ariya is also equipped with Nissan's new generation of car networking system, equipped with intelligent voice interaction, remote control, car home interconnection, car TV, OTA upgrade and other functions.
The air-conditioning outlets still adopt the popular through-type design. The decorative strips are made of matte gold to highlight the high-end texture. The center console and door trim panels are made of leather fabric. High-end models are further upgraded to Alcantara material. Coupled with a certain amount of wooden materials, it does have a stronger sense of class. Although the interior of the new car has a strong sense of technology, it still retains the air conditioning control panel and supports sound and vibration feedback, which is indeed worthy of praise.
In terms of seats and space, the Nissan Ariya still did not disappoint me. First of all, Nissan, as a sofa manufacturer, equipped the Ariya with a zero-gravity seat this time. In order to ensure that the seat has better rigidity, high-strength steel plates are added to the interior, and the exterior is covered with Nappa leather. There is no need to worry about the comfort of the seat. And compared with Teana, the new seats are not only more comfortable, but also better wrapped.
As for the space, the front and rear rows of the new car are relatively spacious, and because the new car is built on a pure electric platform, the rear floor is also designed to be flat, which is quite friendly to the middle rear passenger. When fully loaded, it can take three people. There is not much pressure on people either. The only drawback is that when the center armrest box that can slide forward and backward is located at the end, it will encroach on the leg space of the middle passenger.
In terms of power, the new car will be available in single-motor and dual-motor versions, equipped with a power battery with a maximum capacity of 90 kWh. According to the manufacturer, the battery will use CATL cells, and the four-wheel drive model will have 0-100 It only takes 5.1 seconds to accelerate to kilometers per hour, and the CLTC range can reach 623 kilometers.
Written at the end
From a design perspective, the Nissan Ariya is indeed very attractive to consumers. The dynamic styling design, avant-garde interior layout, and spacious space are all what domestic consumers want. needed. And combined with its estimated price of around 250,000 and a maximum cruising range of 623 kilometers, it has certain advantages compared with models of the same level. Therefore, Nissan's spirit of breaking the rules and having the courage to innovate is indeed worthy of recognition, and at the same time, let us look forward to it. Let’s see how this car performs when driven.
