Performance
The Nissan Ariya NISMO delivers a solid performance with a maximum power of 320 kW (435 hp / 429 bhp) and a total torque of 600 Nm (443 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 5.0 seconds and reaches a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph), making it competitive within its class.
Battery, Range, and Charging
The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 91.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 87.0 kWh, providing a 4.0 kWh buffer (4.4%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 352 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards. This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.
According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle’s range is 417 km (259 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 20.9 kWh/100 km (3 mi/kWh). For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 130 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 65 minutes, while a more typical scenario from 10% to 80% takes 35 minutes with an average charging speed of 105 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 7% to 59%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 96 kW, with each charging session taking about 28 minutes and 16 seconds.
In a theoretical 1000 km challenge, starting with a full battery and maintaining a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) under ideal conditions with an assumed consumption rate of 24.5 kWh/100 km, the trip would take approximately 10 hours and 0 minutes. This journey would require three charging stops from 6% to 67%, with a total charging time of 100 minutes.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports up to 22 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging. This allows you to fully charge the battery from 0 to 100% in approximately 3 hours and 57 minutes using a home charging setup.
Charge Port
The charge port is conveniently located on the right front side, facilitating easy access at charging stations where you park parallel to the charger. Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
