In the third quarter of 2021, the Japanese automaker Nissan plans to solemnly present the electric crossover Ariya 2021. The car should exactly repeat the previously shown Nissan Ariya Concept. The new product will use a 1- or 2-motor configuration with front or all-wheel drive, advanced specifications and many other innovations.
The appearance of an electric crossover from Nissan
For the first time, information about the Nissan Ariya appeared back in 2017, when the IMx show car was demonstrated at the Tokyo Motor Show. A few years later, a concept that was as close as possible to the serial line was presented in the Japanese capital. But only recently the company showed off the final version of the model, which will be on sale from mid-2021.
The exterior of the 5-door crossover with electric motor reflects futurism and a new word in the automotive industry. The body design has accents of traditional and conceptual European style. In front, the novelty has the following features:
- improved aerodynamic properties of the windshield;
- longitudinal ribbed sidewalls on the hood.
- 4-element LED headlight units.
- false radiator grille, which is decorated with the brand logo and daylight boomerangs.
Particular attention is drawn to the vertical design of the side diffusers in the form of wedges, a narrow bumper rib and a diagonal front body kit made of plastic, which is made in the classic style for Nissan crossovers.
From the side, the 2021 Nissan Ariya can be recognized by its sloped coupe roof, contrasting bezels with gray base and matte black pillars, futuristic mirror configuration and small door handles that are recessed into the body.
The side of the crossover is highlighted by stepped relief accents on the contours of the sills and wheel arches. In addition, the car retains off-road clearance and unusual graphics of reinforced rims. By default, 19-inch wheels with 235/55 R19 tires are used, but for an additional fee, you can choose 21-inch wheels with 255/45 R20 tires. A contrasting black roof has become an obligatory attribute of the exterior.
The crossover profile looks as stylish, dynamic and modern as possible. The massive sidewalls with short overhangs give the exterior a futuristic look. Additional aggressiveness to the car is provided by a protective "skirt" at the stern, which emphasizes the rear perimeter.
The stern projection is designed in a traditional design for the Japanese concern. It is different:
- a thin lip spoiler in a semicircular shape;
- a steep slope of the rear window;
- the original tailgate, which is decorated with a spoiler lip and an LED strip between the rear lights.
The entourage of the stern is emphasized by the diagonal design of the plastic body kit, which has a metal insert that prevents accidental damage to the structure. And the main detail of the rear end is the horizontal LED eyeliner, which extends across the entire width of the body. When the engine is turned off, it is black and merges with the rest of the body design, and when it is turned on, it becomes a contrasting red.
It should be noted that for the first time an updated logo design appeared in the production Nissan Ariya.

Salon Nissan Ariya 2021
Using a proprietary platform for EV electric cars allowed the concern to release one of the most spacious crossovers. During the modernization, the Nissan Ariya 2021 was brought to the strict requirements of the European market. Therefore, even in the basic configuration, the interior is trimmed with high-quality leather. Decorative plastic inserts were also used to decorate the interior space.
The digital dashboard is located there and looks the same as its predecessor. Rona has a minimalist yet elegant style. One of the key features of the model is the integration of touch keys for controlling the climate package into the skin. They can be seen only after starting the ignition, and when in contact with fingers, they emit characteristic vibrations.
The driver has 2 combined displays at the disposal of the driver - one is responsible for the dashboard, and the second is used for the multimedia complex. The diagonal of the two screens is 12.3 inches.
To enable standard options or auxiliary systems, a media command display integrated into the center console is used. Also, many useful buttons are located on the front panel of the multifunction steering wheel and the lower tier of the dashboard.
The stock multimedia received support for wireless updates via a 4G interface and voice control. A color head-up display is available at an additional cost.
The central tunnel has increased in size: now it extends to the back sofa. In this part, you can find a large number of useful organizers, niches and touch keys for launching various functions.
The electric crossover class provides for progressive technical and electronic equipment. In addition to the autopilot, the car has a recuperator, auxiliary assistants and a safety package.
Starting with the base version, the 2021 Nissan Ariya has premium multimedia specs, anti-theft protection, parking sensors and customized interior lighting.
On the massive console between the front seats there is a transmission control panel. This design is adjustable, while its placement can be saved in the profile. Under the console there is a sliding table that allows you to turn your car into a portable office on wheels in a matter of seconds.
The conceptual electric car has improved profiles, competent layout and maximum comfort for all seats. The driver's and passenger's seats at the front received reinforced lateral support, ventilation and heating along the contour, as well as a wide range of adjustment ranges.
The back row is adapted to fit 3 adults, for which a sufficiently large amount of free space is provided. In addition, you can change the position of the back of the sofa if you wish. At the back there is a separate remote control for activating or changing the settings of the on-board climate system.
Among the interesting additions are keyless access, the presence of a sunroof and soft lighting around the perimeter of the cabin. Active safety systems are provided by the Nissan Safety Shield complex, and the ProPILOT autopilot is the most progressive assistant. Depending on the supply market, an improved ProPILOT Park parking assistant may appear in the vehicle configuration, which is taught to determine a free parking space and put a car there.
The volume of the luggage compartment is determined by the configuration of the car. So, front-wheel drive editions will receive a cargo compartment of 468 liters, and all-wheel drive - 415 liters.
Adequate headroom is due to the integration of modular batteries into the passenger compartment floor. In addition, the car owner can quickly change the configuration of the trunk by folding the rear row of seats. This will allow you to transport bulky cargo.

Price and equipment Nissan Ariya 2021
In the basic trim levels of the Nissan Ariya 2021, only a front-wheel drive platform is used. At the same time, the top-end all-wheel drive Nissan Ariya AWD e-4ORCE is distinguished by the fact that it uses two engines that drive separate axles, and at the same time, both participate in recuperation, minimizing pecking during braking.
The technology allows to evenly distribute the torque between the axles, carrying out independent braking of all four wheels. This ensures high-quality braking with adherence to a given trajectory, even in problematic road conditions.
The presence of a "winter" driving mode in this version helps the car to move normally on snowy surfaces, while maintaining stability.
There is no information about the date of the appearance of the electric crossover on sale yet. Also, the company does not disclose the cost of the car. According to unofficial rumors, auto sales will start in the middle of next year, and the minimum price for Nissan Ariya will be from 40 thousand dollars. In Russia, the novelty will be sold for 3.5 million rubles.
Conclusion
Nissan Ariya 2021 is a long-awaited project from the Japanese automaker, which was designed in order to maintain the company's position in the list of the most popular car suppliers. The model is not only an enhanced adaptation of the Leaf, but also a completely new offering with an innovative platform and electric drive package, powerful specifications and revolutionary batteries. Integrations like these ensure maximum range on a single charge and maintain agility.
