The Nissan Ariya, the company's first all-electric SUV, will be able to drive up to 600 Kilometers on a single charge and features a high-tech interior, with no buttons or knobs, according to the Nissan.

The vehicle was unveiled during an online event Wednesday.

Nissan becomes one of the first major car companies to offer an all-electric car when it introduced the Leaf in 2010.

CEO Makoto Uchida and Chief Operating Officer Ashwani Gupta unveiled the Ariya to a global audience during a live-streamed event at the new Nissan Pavilion in Yokohama.

“The Nissan Ariya is a truly beautiful and remarkable car,” Gupta said. “It enables you to go further, easier, and in comfort. The Ariya is designed to impress, and to express what Nissan strives for – making our customers’ lives better.”

The all-new Nissan Ariya is scheduled to go on sale in Japan in mid-2021. It will be priced at around 5 million yen. The Ariya is planned to go on sale in Europe, North America, and China by the end of 2021.

Nissan Ariya Features

Powerful performance for a wide range of needs

The car’s all-electric drivetrain combines excellent power delivery, charging capabilities, and range. Customers can choose from multiple configurations to meet their individual needs. These include two-wheel-drive and e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive versions, as well as two different battery sizes.

Advanced design and technology for stress-free driving

Drivers will feel more confident and less stressed thanks to the ProPILOT 2.0 advanced driver assistance system and the ProPILOT Remote Park and e-Pedal features. Also standard across the Ariya lineup is Nissan’s Safety Shield system. This includes Intelligent Around View Monitor, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Intelligent Emergency Braking, and Rear Automatic Emergency Braking technology.

Spacious, flat-floor cabin

Nissan’s designers took advantage of the car’s new EV platform, which allows for a flat floor, and its compact climate control components to give the Ariya the most spacious cabin in its class. The lounge-like interior, featuring Zero Gravity seats, provides a welcoming and comfortable environment for drivers and passengers alike.

The world is revolutionizing. People are tired of all the fuel-generated engines creating pollution. The governments are encouraging electric cars as a substitute for fuel consuming vehicles. The European Nations have already adopted these types of vehicles and Indian Sub Continental countries are on the verge of implementing such rules.

In the context of Nepal, we are still in the primary era of driving the fuel consuming vehicles creating pollution all over the places. Recently, Hulas Motors has come up with a new Electric car after it stopped manufacturing its first car Hulas Mustang. Hulas Mustang car made in Nepal, was halted because of the pollution parameters as directed by the Nepal Government.

In such a scenario, we interviewed Mr. Prafulla Chandra Das, the General Manager of Hulas Motors. According to him, the Nepalese market has still not been able to adapt to the electric car and modernization because of the predominant petrol consuming vehicles. Plus, Hulas Motors has not been able to gain the trust of Nepalese citizens because of the same price scale for both cars that are imported and manufactured in Nepal.

When asked about his expectations for electric cars in the upcoming budget, he stated that the company manufactures cars in our own sovereign. Nepal is desperately in need of such manufacturing companies. Plus, an electric car manufactured in Nepal would have a great local sentiment if the government cuts out taxes and makes it affordable to the Nepalese citizens.

There are various other electric cars being imported to Nepal such as e2o from Mahindra and Soul EV from Kia. If the government imposes the same tax to both imported and manufactured cars, there is no incentive for the manufacturers to manufacture a car in Nepal and for Nepal.

Presently, Hulas is manufacturing three-wheeled electric rickshaws to sustain itself and is about to launch an electric car in Nepal for which the name has still not been finalized.

Electric Car is one of the primary things that should be considered in our country due to the present pollution and pollution parameters. Looking at the present condition, it is a high time to switch to electric cars in Nepal as it helps in sustaining the environment and solves the problem of the fuel crisis. From the user’s perspective, the cost of consumption is drastically reduced if the electric alternative is used. Das also states that the primary cost to maintain for a fuel-consuming vehicle would be Rs 10/km whereas the electric car cost would only be around Rs 4/km. Now, the choice is yours.

DFSK GLORY E3 SUV: MARKING ITS ELECTRIC TERRITORY

 

 

Not long ago, Nepal only imported vehicles that were generated and operated through fossil fuels. The reasons were simple, lack of enough electricity and public trust in electric vehicles. However, considering the fact that Nepal is one of the richest sources of water and reduction of power cuts, Nepal is now being seen as the potential country for EVs.

Maaz Ashraf, the marketing and communications manager from NIU electric scooter quotes, “This is the third year for NIU electric scooter in Nepal. The first year was disappointing as the people didn’t get the idea of an electric vehicle, and its price range. The second-year was comparatively better and the third year has been overwhelming. The perspective of people towards EVs is changing.”

The government is motivating the customers to buy electric vehicles through tax waivers for EVs. Also, the reduction of load shedding and awareness of people about the difference in cost when switching from a petrol vehicle to an electric vehicle is a supporting factor. More?

Did you visit the NADA Auto Show 2019?

We could observe that there were only a few fuel generated vehicles launched. The rest of all was electric. Brands like Hyundai, KIA, Peugeot launched their EVs recently and they are undeniably hitting the market with a good response. New and local brands like BYD, TheeGo, Genius, Miyama were also getting a very good response from the public. Recently, Yatri introduced Project Zero, YATRI bike which is getting launched in January 2020, has been the talk of the nation. People are more inclined towards the EVs than the fuel generated vehicles.

Is an electric vehicle the future?

Electric Vehicles Advantages and Disadvantages

When we asked this question to the visitors of NADA and other general people and enthusiasts, we got mixed opinions. Some said that electric vehicles are indeed the future because it has advantages of low cost, easy maintenance and eco-friendly. However, some opposed stating that motor vehicles are supposed to be roaring through the streets and no electric vehicle can give such an experience. One visitor we interviewed in NADA said that the electric bike is no less than a cycle, it definitely doesn’t give the vibes of a motorbike at all.

Electric vehicle disadvantages:

Lithium-Ion, the main component of the EV’s battery, being a limited resource, cannot fully replace all the vehicles. Similarly, in the context of Nepal, we don’t have any policy regarding the disposal of the used battery (as of now). As quoted by Santosh Nyaupane, “The liquid coming out of the battery is a hazardous chemical that degrades the environment. If the liquid is disposed at a particular place, it becomes deteriorated and we cannot expect anything to grow from the soil for at least a decade.”

The pioneers of electric vehicles are trying to come up with ideas and inventions for the invention of full proof eco-friendly vehicles. The government is supporting the initiative by providing low-interest rates on loans for installing electric charging sockets. Companies like Hyundai are already exploring and testing hydrogen-powered vehicles. The future of the automobile is still getting advanced. We will keep on informing you of all those innovations. Stay tuned with us.
