The Nissan Ariya concept car was presented on 24 October 2019 at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show.[14] It is a 100% electric coupe SUV concept car measuring 4.6 m (15 ft) in length.[citation needed] The concept car was fitted with 21-inch rims, LED headlamps and an illuminated logo on its grille,[15] which itself takes the form of a large "V" characteristic of Nissan design. Inside, the dashboard is equipped with two 12.3-inch screens assembled to form a large screen, from which ProPilot 2.0, the second generation of Nissan's driver assistance system,[16] is controlled. The manufacturer has not distributed information on the capacity of the battery to be used in the production Ariya, but indicated that it will be recharged by direct current (DC) compatible with standard CHAdeMO.[17] It will accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in 5.1 seconds.[10] The Ariya will support the CCS standard in the US and Europe.[18]
The Ariya Single Seater Concept was unveiled in December 2021, as part of the manufacturer's Futures event. The concept car, which is a demonstration of an all-electric motorsports vehicle similar to ones used in Formula E racing, shares its powertrain with the Ariya SUV. The concept also shares multiple design cues with its SUV counterpart, including the illuminated "V" shape at its front and its overall form, which, according to the Nissan, "looks like it was shaped by the air itself". Tommaso Volpe, who is the manufacturer's global motorsports director, stated that the Ariya Single Seater Concept acts as "a powerful demonstration of just how thrilling electric vehicles could be."[19]
