A Preview of Nissan's Future Vehicles
As it enters the 2022 automotive marketplace in the United States of America, Nissan offers two electric vehicles. The well-established LEAF hatchback primarily appeals to urban consumers in major cities throughout the nation. This compact EV is available with powerful lithium-ion batteries and electric motors. Several Quick Charge Ports are also on the lineup for the five-seat LEAF. However, the stunning 2023 ARIYA certainly marks a new chapter in Nissan's quest for tapping into the growing market for electric cars. This stylish crossover SUV will be available in up to four editions on the American marketplace. The entry-level Venture+ edition will offer an extended range of approximately 300 miles. This base model has the Quick Charge Port-CCS for easy and fast charging at compatible stations. Delivering approximately 240 net horsepower, an electric motor is standard on the Venture+ model, which runs on a front-wheel drive. Such a drivetrain is installed on the ARIYA Evolve+, and Premiere trims. Equipped with the e-4ORCE all-wheel drive and a 389-hp motor, the Platinum+ is the most capable model on the lineup.
Nissan also hopes to launch the IDS model, which is in the early stages of development entering 2022. This sleek and sporty hatchback will be equipped with a battery that stores up to 60 kilowatt-hours. Aerodynamic and nimble, the IDS will also have autonomous driving technologies for certain highways and urban streets. Low-rolling resistance tires will enhance the efficiency of the Nissan IDS. Some other innovative technologies on this concept car include the Piloted Drive and Manual Drive. Additionally, this electric hatchback will be outfitted with linear LED accents on the side profile for distinctive styling. The Nissan IMS is another concept car that will join the company's electrified lineup in the future. This sport sedan will have an autonomous-driving design for safe and dynamic handling in cities throughout North America. Dual electric motors and a fast-charging battery will propel the IMS on the road.
