As the wave of vehicle electrification continues to surge forward, some people say that Dongfeng Nissan started early in the layout of new energy vehicles but arrived late. It is true that in terms of independent new energy brands such as Against the background of mushrooming, Dongfeng Nissan Ariya (hereinafter referred to as Ariya) seems to be late. Many people can't help but raise a question: Is Ariya conservative and passive?
With such questions, the author participated in the 2022 Dongfeng Nissan Ariya National Media Test Drive. If I was still skeptical about the Ariya before the test drive, then after the test drive, the author was skeptical about the Ariya. Ariya has a positive attitude, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she was conquered.
Before understanding why the author was conquered by Ariya, we still need to briefly understand the basic parameters of Ariya:
As a compact pure electric SUV, Ariya’s body length, width and height The dimensions are 4603*1900*1654mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2775mm. In terms of power, it provides front-wheel drive single motor and dual motor versions, and is equipped with a 90-degree NCM ternary lithium battery pack exclusively produced by CATL. The single-motor version has a maximum power of 160kW, a maximum torque of 300N·m, and a CLTC operating range of 623km. The dual-motor version has a combined torque of 600N·m, achieving 100-kilometer acceleration in 5 seconds, and a CLTC operating range of 533km. In overcharge mode The charging time under 30~80SOC is 40 minutes.
Driving experience of the two-wheel drive version of the Ariya
On the morning of the test drive, the author got a two-wheel drive version of the Ariya, although the official zero-hundred-mile data for this version has not yet been officially released. , but even if there were three adult men in the car at the time, the two-wheel drive version of Ariya still seemed to be more than capable in terms of power.
Ariya*** has three driving modes: sport, standard, and energy-saving (the four-wheel drive version also has a snow mode). In the standard mode, the Ariya’s power responds quickly and can meet most application scenarios. If you need to get more passionate, you can also adjust it to the sports mode, and the switch will become more sensitive. Although it is not a "second one", it is definitely not an easy owner to mess with.
Here I have to mention Nissan’s self-developed electric excitation synchronous motor. In short, its performance is equivalent to a combination of permanent magnet synchronous motor and AC asynchronous motor. The electric excitation synchronous motor not only allows Ariya's power output is very linear at low speeds, and there is no obvious attenuation even in the mid- to late-stage acceleration. It still has super acceleration capabilities at 100-120km/h. If it exceeds 120km/h, as long as you step on the switch deeply, Ariya's The power performance will still surprise you quite a bit.
It is true that in the wave of electrification of automobiles, if the strong power of automobiles has become a bit taken for granted, then the driving comfort of automobiles is commendable. In fact, many consumers will be attracted by some new energy sources. I was put off by the poor driving comfort of the car, but after test driving the Ariya, I can responsibly say that the driving comfort of the Ariya is unexpectedly good. After all, most new energy vehicles are accelerated by electric motors. It will take many consumers some time to adapt to the impact of kinetic energy recovery, but after thinking about it, Nissan's consistent high comfort is reflected in the Ariya, and it seems reasonable.
For such high driving comfort, in addition to the contribution of the large Nissan sofa, the ultra-high-precision motor torque control of 1/10000 second can reduce the pitching and swooping sensation during driving, thereby ensuring that the Ariya is surging. While increasing power, it reduces the dizziness of drivers and passengers. The Ariya's chassis has moderate softness and hardness, and its vibration filtering performance is excellent, with almost all excess fine vibrations being filtered out.
Of course, if you have to nitpick, the two-wheel drive version of Ariya has problems with empty positions on the steering wheel and the initial brake pedal. Considering that this is a greater compromise for comfort, it is not impossible. accept.
Ariya's front windshield and side door windows are made of high-strength double-layer sound-insulating glass. Combined with multiple sound-insulating materials throughout the vehicle, Ariya's sound insulation performance is truly excellent.
The driving experience of the four-wheel drive version of Ariya
If the two-wheel drive version of Ariya is amazing enough, then the four-wheel drive version of Ariya is no exaggeration to say that it is surprising. In the afternoon of the same day, the author test-drove the four-wheel-drive version of the Ariya on the track. Through extreme tests such as straight-line acceleration and high-speed cornering, I experienced the strong grip of the Ariya. Even in high-speed slalom events, the Ariya's smooth control was solid. It’s surprising to know that this is a pure electric SUV with a curb weight of 2269kg! Nissan obviously has considerable confidence in positioning the Ariya model as a pure electric all-around flagship SUV. This confidence comes from the Ariya's e-4ORCE Snow Fox electric four-wheel drive. Let's just say that we only need to know that this technology has learned from Nissan. The development experience of the GT-R model is enough.
Dynamic Driving Summary
Nissan's self-developed three-electric technology can be said to have accumulated a lot of experience. The power response of the Ariya two-wheel drive version is enough to cope with Nissan's use, although there are some flaws in the directionality. However, it does not hurt to consider the compromise for the excellent comfort of the Ariya; the Ariya four-wheel drive version has a front MacPherson and rear multi-link suspension combination and profound chassis tuning, allowing it to take into account strong control The ability and comfortable experience of leapfrogging can truly be described as a six-sided warrior.
Excellent appearance design
Different from the appearance of some overseas brands of electric vehicles, Ariya’s appearance design can be said to have completely bid farewell to the shadow of fuel vehicles, although the front face can be seen It still follows the family-style design of Nissan V-Motion, but its grille is closed, which reduces wind resistance and is full of futuristic technology.
The side design of Ariya is relatively rounded. The suspended roof and wheel arches are designed in gloss black, which enhances the sporty atmosphere of the body. The fastback design and low wind resistance wheel hub design all add to Ariya's endurance. , unlike many new energy vehicles, Ariya's door handle adopts a traditional design, which is more convenient for outsiders to open the door for rescue in extreme situations. The through-type taillights at the rear widen the visual effect of the car body, further improving the recognition of Ariya.
Innovative interior design
The interior design of Ariya is very different from traditional Nissan models. The overall interior design style tends to be young, simple, grand but not unstable. The heavy, through-type wood grain veneer and air-conditioning outlets enhance the sense of hierarchy. The dual 12.3-inch large screens are equipped with Nissan's new generation of Internet of Vehicles systems. It is worth mentioning that Nissan's latest capacitive touch buttons are designed under the wood grain veneer. It wakes up and vibrates when touched, which is very technological. It is worth mentioning that the light blue interior in the four-wheel drive version is more upscale.
The through-type front row design further "magicizes" the interior space in the car. This design will undoubtedly give the front row drivers and passengers a better sense of space, and it will also make it easier for the driver to park in a small space. Getting out of the car from the passenger seat is really unique.
Not only that, the hidden electric central storage box not only optimizes the storage space in the car, but also allows items to be placed through a small table with a built-in sliding combination.
The central armrest box can also be controlled by electric buttons to move forward and backward up to 150mm. The position of the armrest box can be adjusted according to the passengers in the front car to maximize the driving space.
Ariya’s innovative rear seat design may not be as eye-catching as the front seat, but compared with most new energy vehicles where you sit on a “small bench” in the rear seat, Ariya’s rear seats are thicker to the naked eye. It can be seen that the advantages of Yuntu’s professional pure electric platform are evident.
The Ariya's trunk is very flat with a two-layer design. There are quite deep storage spaces on the left and right sides, and the rear seats support a 4/6 ratio of folding down.
Written at the end:
While retaining Nissan's consistent comfort, Ariya also relies on the mature three-electric system to have good dynamic control capabilities.
The interior configuration not only takes into account practicality, but also enhances the sense of future technology. It can be said that Ariya is a new beginning for Nissan.
