The Nissan Ariya Concept was first introduced to the world in 2019, and was touted as the brand’s second mass-market all-electric vehicle after the Leaf. Now, Nissan Philippines has brought a production model to the country to showcase what we can expect from the automaker in the future.



As a compact crossover EV, the Ariya is sizably larger than the Leaf and the Kicks. Nissan has done an impressive job of keeping the production version close to the concept car, and the result is a futuristic and contemporary vehicle that catches your attention.
From what we know, the Ariya is built on a new EV platform and features Nissan’s e-4orce AWD system that hints at it having dual electric motors mounted on each axle. Total power output is stated to be at 388hp and 600Nm. An 87 kWh battery provides enough juice for 500km of range on a single charge.






Inside, this five-seater crossover is loaded with Nissan’s latest tech offerings. The interior is a minimalist, almost buttonless affair with two 12.3-inch displays sitting front and center. It’s also equipped with the full suite of Nissan Intelligent Mobility driver-aid systems including Nissan Safety Shield and ProPilot 2.0.
Although this particular unit is a real-life production model, it’s not quite ready for sale locally as evidenced by the CHAdeMO charging port, so don’t pull your checkbooks out just yet. Nissan Philippines declined to comment on when the Ariya will be available for purchase—and how much it will be—but it confirms that it is working on getting the Ariya to showroom floors as soon as possible.
