Nissan Should Have Made The Ariya Years Ago
The Ariya is one of Nissan’s best designs in a while. It feels like a return to form for the carmaker but I can’t help feel a sense of déjà vu as I take in its contours.
The Ariya looks a lot like the Murano concept sketch Nissan showed when the Murano debuted almost two decades ago and I am convinced that the Ariya owes some of its spirit to that old sketch.

Under the skin: How touchscreens give haptic feedback
As the debate continues around the usability of touchscreens, Nissan is developing ways to overcome the issues
As the great in-car touchscreen debate rumbles on, manufacturers remain totally committed, despite the fact that drivers are forced to take their eyes off the road to use them, even if only for a second or two. A well-thought-out combination of actual buttons for key, primary functions and the touchscreen for secondary functions can help, but things like searching for music albums, playlists or tracks in the infotainment system are still distracting.
To improve on those shortcomings, Nissan has chosen electrostatic feedback buttons for its new Ariya, grouped on the main dashboard and on the centre console. The technology generates what feels like a kick to emulate the sensation of pushing a mechanical button even though that isn’t happening. Sounds are generated at the same time to help distinguish one ‘button’ from the next. Nissan says the system has been tested by people with different size fingers and fingernails, a wide range of pressure forces, angles and gloved hands.
Haptic-feedback technologies, where the screen generates a sensation like a buzz or vibration in your fingertip when a button is hovered over or touched, can improve things. Hyundai showed off some research and found in trials that mixing audio with haptic feedback made a big difference to the ease of navigating around a touchscreen.

Nissan Thinks The Ariya Is Going To Do It
Nissan claims 135,000 people expressed interest in the crossover EV
America does love a boring car, but a boring EV? The Nissan Ariya thinks it has what it takes. All that and more in The Morning Shift for Monday, November 15, 2021.
1st Gear: Tesla Redefined The Desirable Electric Car. What If… We Pretended That Never Happened?
Nissan’s EV program asks the question: What if Tesla never happened? What if we just... kept selling the same basic lithium-ion electric car as we’ve been doing since the 1990s, cars that look like, drive like, act like everything else on the road?
Tesla’s sales have shown that the simple, conservative method is maybe not the way to customers’ hearts, but Nissan thinks it has a hit on its hands with its Ariya crossover, as Automotive News reports:
Rather than have dealers order the Ariya at launch, Nissan will take reservations directly from potential customers.
It’s a distribution approach gaining momentum for yet another industry trend: Automakers are struggling to get their retailers enthusiastic about stocking and selling electric vehicles.
Nissan will announce the start of Ariya reservations this week. The Rogue-sized model will be Nissan’s entry into the bustling compact-EV-crossover segment when it goes on sale in the U.S. in the second half of next year.
Early interest has been strong. The Ariya has garnered about 135,000 hand raises from potential customers, according to an update shared with Nissan retailers this month.

Nissan is the latest automaker planning to sell 50% electric vehicles by 2030
Automaker Nissan wants half its global sales to be electric or hybrid vehicles by 2030 and plans to plough billions of dollars into the effort, it announced Monday.
The move follows in the footsteps of other major global automakers, which have increasingly signalled a move towards electric and hybrid vehicles as concern about climate change grows.
Unveiling its new long-term plan, Nissan said it will launch 23 new models, including 15 new electric vehicles, in a bid to reach the 2030 goal.
Last year, only around 10% of Nissan's global sales were EVs or hybrids, and the firm said the new target would help it achieve carbon neutrality across the lifecycle of its products by 2050.
Nissan has been battered by a series of problems in recent years, ranging from weak demand even before the pandemic, to the fallout from the arrest and subsequent escape of former boss Carlos Ghosn.
After falling behind rivals during the pandemic, it has begun clawing back performance, tripling its full-year net profit forecast earlier this month despite the impact of a global chip shortage.
In a statement, Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida said the long-term plan announced Monday would "transform Nissan to become a sustainable company."

Nissan reveals Ariya-inspired, single-seat EV racer concept
One-off racer has been developed using insights from Formula E and is styled to match new SUV
The firm has not yet confirmed that it plans to produce a functioning, full-sized example – nor indeed plans for a dedicated race series using the car – but Autocar understands that Nissan hopes to produce a working version for dynamic displays at Formula E races.
The concept is related to the production SUV in more than just name: the front is decorated with a similar, light-up V motif, while the side is claimed to take inspiration "from the Ariya’s fluid and efficient surfaces, exaggerated to a maximum in carbonfibre".
It looks, Nissan claims, "like it was shaped by the air itself".
Nissan's participation in Formula E is said to have inspired the concept's creation. The firm's motorsport boss, Tommaso Volpe, said: "Our EV programmes inform our Formula E programme and vice versa, allowing for road-to-track technology transfer as well as track-to-road.
"The Nissan Ariya Single Seater Concept explores the combination of the all-electric powertrain, dual motors and revolutionary all-wheel drive system of the Ariya with a pure single-seat racing chassis - a powerful demonstration of just how thrilling electric vehicles could be.”

Nissan's made a 400bhp, single-seat electric car
Nissan's flush with EV concepts this week. The latest is a crossover-cum-Formula E car, somehow
“Nissan has gone concept car crazy” said, um, this very website earlier in the week. Well it’s gone crazier still by pumping out another mere days later. We’re not about to calm the designers down when the cars look like this, though.
Meet the Ariya Single Seater Concept, which Nissan helpfully decodes as “a demonstration project of how the all-electric Nissan Ariya road car powertrain could be used in a bespoke single seater racing car chassis”.
Which means you’re looking at a near-400bhp, all-wheel-drive single-seat track toy, effectively. Which sounds almighty fun, especially when you consider it’s vastly more powerful than an actual Formula E racecar.
On which note, Nissan says the Ariya Single Seater melds the worlds of the Ariya electric crossover and the firm’s Formula E competitor, with styling cues from both. We’d suggest the latter is doing most of the heavy lifting there.
“Nissan competes in Formula E not only to race on track, but also to support the development of compelling electric vehicles for customers,” said Tommaso Volpe, Nissan’s motorsport director.

New 2022 Nissan Ariya: flagship EV priced from £41,845
Nissan's second EV arrives next year in four available trim variants with up to 389bhp and ‘exciting’ handling
The new Nissan Ariya electric SUV features bold styling, a range of up to 310 miles and a 389bhp performance variant – and Nissan claims it will “mark a new era for electric vehicles” by combining high levels of tech with “exciting” handling.
Pre-orders for the Volkswagen ID 4 rival are now open, ahead of first deliveries beginning in summer, with prices starting from £41,845 for the entry-level Advance car, with front-wheel drive and a 63kWh battery.
That car is capable of a claimed 223 miles on the WLTP cycle, while its 215bhp motor sends it from 0-62mph in 7.5 seconds.
The larger 87kWh battery is available from £51,090 with a more potent 240bhp 2WD powertrain – for a range of 310 miles – or £53,790 with the e-4orce four-wheel-drive powertrain, which can be had with either 302bhp or, in range-topping, £58,440 e-4orce Performance guise, 389bhp.
The e-4orce Performance model can cover 0-62mph in a claimed 5.1sec and, like the other e-4orce models, has a top speed of 124mph (25mph more than the single-motor cars).
