Nissan has reintroduced its famed NISMO brand to Europe with the debut of the high-performance Ariya NISMO. The electric SUV, unveiled on World EV Day, combines cutting-edge engineering with Nissan’s NISMO racing heritage, bringing enhanced power and dynamic handling to the all-electric Ariya lineup.
Equipped with Nissan’s e-4ORCE technology, the Ariya NISMO boasts an impressive 320kW of power and 442 lb-ft of torque, delivering acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in five seconds. Its twin-motor all-wheel-drive system provides drivers with greater control and agility, enhancing cornering and stability even at high speeds.
The Ariya NISMO’s aerodynamic design is a standout feature — a lowered bumper, extended spoilers and Formula E-inspired air curtains contribute to improved downforce, while the Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires and lightweight ENKEI wheels reduce drag and enhance performance. Inside, red stitching and NISMO’s signature accents adorn the suede-trimmed seats and steering wheel, while black open-pore wood trim adds a touch of modern luxury. The NISMO logo is proudly displayed throughout the vehicle, reflecting its motorsport roots.
Set to arrive in European markets by January 2025, the Ariya NISMO will be available in four color options, including NISMO Stealth Grey, featuring a black roof and red accents. Details on pricing have yet to be unveiled at the time of writing.
