THE EV REVOLUTION SHOW: SPECIAL EDITION

EV Channels Review

The EV Revolution Show's special edition dives deep into the newly revealed Nissan Ariya, an all-electric crossover poised to redefine Nissan's EV strategy. The host highlights key advancements, including the long-awaited CCS combo charging and active battery thermal management, addressing critical consumer demands. The Ariya boasts an estimated range of up to 300 miles (482 km) for the two-wheel-drive, long-range model, built on a new EV platform that maximizes interior space and offers a minimalist, tech-forward cabin with capacitive haptic switches and a unique slide-out storage box. Nissan is offering four core models with two battery pack sizes (65kWh and 90kWh) and the option of their e-Force all-wheel-drive system. The review emphasizes the vehicle's striking design, advanced ProPilot Assist 2.0, and standard Safety Shield 360. While pricing remains unannounced, availability is slated for Japan mid-next year, followed by North America in late 2021, contingent on global conditions. The interview with Francois Lefevre from Nissan Canada underscores the Ariya's significance as a new body style tailored for the Canadian market, particularly its appeal in the growing small SUV segment.
