Nissan revealed its new Ariya concept at this year’s Tokyo Motor Show. It’s an all-electric autonomous compact crossover which, along with the all-electric Nissan IMk city car concept, previews the Japanese brand’s latest design language and future electrified production vehicles.
The Ariya rides on a set of copper-coloured 21-inch alloy wheels and employs similar design features to the Nissan IMk. Up front, there’s a pair of thin LED headlamps and a unique, V-shaped shield in place of a conventional radiator grille. At the rear, there’s a full-width LED light bar, a high-mounted wing and a set of aggressive flared wheel arches.

It’s finished in a unique two-tone Suisei Blue paint scheme, which is laced with tiny glass particles. The paint finish produces two different effects depending on the angle from which it is viewed. From a distance, it appears to have a matte finish, while up close it takes on a more metallic appearance.

Thanks to the absence of an internal combustion engine, and the placement of the battery packs along the car’s spine, the Ariya has a completely flat floor which Nissan says makes the cabin feel light and airy. The concept’s cabin also features a thin-framed seats and plenty of glass, offering a “panoramic” view of the car’s surroundings.
Other stand-out features of the Ariya’s interior include touch-sensitive heater controls which vanish into the dashboard when not in use, a 12.3-inch infotainment system, a digital instrument cluster, satin copper-coloured trim, and unique perforated leather upholstery for the seats, which is underlaid with copper-coloured fabric.
The Ariya concept features the latest version of Nissan’s ProPilot 2.0 semi-autonomous driver assistance system, which offers hands-off single-lane driving capability. The system can also assist the driver with overtaking manoeuvres, automatically navigate diversions and automatically exit motorways upon request.

The Ariya is powered by two electric motors – one for each axle. Nissan is yet to confirm the powertrain’s performance specifications, but the firm has said the system has a “high-power” output and will provide “excellent cornering performance and traction on slippery surfaces.”
It’s also possible that Nissan could build a production vehicle based which borrows elements of the Ariya concept’s design. Nissan Executive Officer Yasuhiro Yamauchi said: “this is not a concept car designed from far off ideas. It is the next stage of Nissan’s future design language as we embark on a new era for the company.”
