According to news reports, Nissan will fully promote the electrification process of its models and set an accurate time point for this-2025. As one of Nissan's most important markets, China's radical transformation to new energy probably surprised many people. Even Toyota, which has been deeply involved in hybrid and hydrogen energy for many years, is not so eager to promote the new energy strategy in China.
To be precise, Nissan plans to complete the electrification transformation of nearly half of its product lines in 2023. Before 2025, Nissan will launch nine new electric vehicles in China, including pure electric, hybrid and e-POWER powertrain. At the same time, Nissan will officially launch the e-POWER model in China on 202 1, and will launch 5-6 e-POWER models in about 3 years.
In other words, the main models currently sold by Nissan in China, including Qi Jun, Hacker and Tiida, will launch their own hybrid or pure electric vehicles within five years at the latest. More radically, Nissan may directly and permanently stop production of Qi Jun, Tiida and other models, and introduce new models based on pure electric platforms to replace the former within five years.
In fact, the first pure electric SUV model released by Nissan before? Ariya is a good example. Based on the latest power system platform, the new car is equipped with two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive models equipped with e-4ORCE dual-motor all-wheel control system, providing 63kWh and 87kWh battery packs, which can be quickly charged for 375 kilometers in 30 minutes and the maximum cruising range can reach 665,438+00 kilometers.
Ariya, a pure electric vehicle, doesn't look so avant-garde in appearance. The new car still uses split headlights, but this time it finally puts the far and near headlights back to their original positions. Ariya still retains a large area of black mesh in the center of the front face, but it has become a part of the appearance after being sealed. In addition, it should be mentioned that the newly designed Nissan logo has become flatter. It's just not clear whether this new logo is exclusive to pure electric vehicles or whether it will be used on all models.
Because Ariya adopts the design style of coupe, its side is more eye-catching. The roof line slides down from the B-pillar, and the tail is added. However, in order to ensure the practicability of the rear space and trunk, the lines of the whole roof are not exaggerated, and the soft transition takes into account practicality and aesthetics. Although there is no specific body size data, from the perspective of proportion, Ariya? Its size is closer to that of hackers and it belongs to a compact SUV.
Ariya's interior design is the most subversive among Nissan's new cars. Big screen, virtual buttons and simplicity, these three key elements can summarize the whole interior. The new car can't find Nissan's original style inside, and everything you see is a brand-new design. According to the previous news, considering that the current price of this level of electric vehicles may be less than 300,000 yuan, Nissan Ariya will be positioned as a cheap SUV.
Nissan's feeling on new energy vehicles has not been very high-profile. Among the pure electric vehicles sold in China, the only one that is well-known is Leaf Wind, followed by Chenfeng and Sylphy pure electric vehicles. However, these three models are of little significance to the market, and more are used as technical reserves and test water consumers. Is it Ariya this time? It can be seen that Nissan has officially entered the ranks of pure electric vehicles, and other follow-up pure electric vehicles will be seen in the next few years.
Compared with domestic brands that have "overtaken in corners", many joint venture car companies feel that they are one step behind in new energy, so it is not surprising that Nissan suddenly shouted the slogan of the Great Leap Forward. Although there is rich technical accumulation, the starting line of pure electric vehicles is actually not much different. Even an established car company like Nissan needs to put its mind right and start from scratch.
