Nissan Ariya News in Malaysia

A new player in Malaysia's EV game? That's a nice thought, but this 2023 Nissan Ariya seen earlier this morning spells something different rather than obviously hinting at its imminent launch. Blending in with regular traffic – sans camo and conspicous blue trade plates – this SUV is likely to be an internal evaluation unit, used among staff in the meantime. It's not a rare occurence, Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) themselves have a Note e-Power that is registered as usual but not for sale just y

The Nissan Ariya, the all-electric big crossover SUV brother to the seminal Nissan Leaf undergoes a series of very rigorous crash tests to ensure it possesses high levels of safety in the event of a collision. According to Nissan, it takes 1/1000th of a second for a Nissan crash test vehicle to fulfill its role. That’s a literal “blink-and-you’ll-miss” moment that we can’t possibly describe unless one is secretly donning a red suit with a lightning bolt. However, there is one bright spark that p

That said, I couldn't help but notice that Nissan also took this opportunity to show to the world its brand-spanking-new logo.There are two logos - corporate and brand. The brand logo looks unchanged at a glance, but details are different. In line with what appears to be the current trend with car brand logos, Nissan's new corporate insignia has gone all 2D and flat, while the br

These leaked patent of the all-new 2021 Nissan Ariya from China’s patent and trademark office reveals the production version of the exterior design, likely as a fully electric crossover.
