Nissan has dropped another teaser image of
its upcoming Ariya electric crossover and announced it will officially premiere
in July. Previewed by the Ariya Concept that debuted at the 2019 Tokyo Motor
Show, it will boast a similar lighting signature at the front, with the
traditional grille flanked by two LED strips. Tweaking the picture in Photoshop
doesn’t reveal much, except that it will have very similar overall proportions
to the study.
It still features a sloping roofline and
roof-mounted spoiler, and when it debuts in a few weeks, it will have toned
down bumpers, more conventional door handles and few other revisions, as
previewed by the patent images that surfaced online in April.
Slotting under the new generation Rogue in
terms of size, the crossover will ride on a dedicated electric vehicle
platform. It is expected with the ProPilot semi-autonomous driving system,
which will support hands-off driving on the motorway, as well as the latest
safety and technology systems available at Nissan. We don’t know anything about
the powertrain, except that it will be fully electric and will comprise two
motors – one on each axle.
