1st Drive: The Nissan ARIYA AWD
The Nissan ARIYA is the tip of the spear in Nissan’s second big push into electric vehicles. It follows behind the Nissan LEAF which was an attempt to build a truly affordable electric vehicle for the masses. Then CEO Carlos Ghosn believed that designing and building an affordable electric vehicle would help the company achieve high enough production volumes to catalyze a full transition to battery electric vehicles, setting Nissan up as a leader in the space.
Nissan’s Senior Director of EV Programs Aditya Jairaj explained that, “in the interior of the ARIYA, it’s not what you see, it is what you don’t see.” The thinking was that drivers use the interior every single day they are in the car whereas a frunk is infrequently used. Interesting logic. It’s refreshing to see a manufacturer optimize a vehicle around their own ideals and design methodology instead of simply copying the ten bullet points of design liberally borrowed from Tesla.
The heads up display is also a nice improvement over traditional vehicle layouts. After all, if you can accelerate and slow down without having to move your foot, why should you have to look away from the road to see what speed you’re going? The ARIYA’s HUD projects an almost holographic mini display onto the windshield with the speed and a few other key metrics in tow.
Nissan clearly put a of work to tune the throttle between the two motors to mitigate the nose pitching up when accelerating. There is still noticeable amount of side to side body pitch under more rapid acceleration but its still better than in traditional vehicles.Heading back on the freeway, we were eager to put Nissan’s ProPILOT Assist to the test.
