Nissan teases more details about 2021 Ariya electric SUV ahead of launch
Nissan Ariya electric SUV is scheduled to be launched on July 15. Ahead of the launch, the Japanese carmaker has revealed more details about the upcoming electric SUV in a video it shared on YouTube.
Some close-up shots of the moving Ariya SUV along with some drone footage reveal key design elements of the upcoming Nissan electric vehicle. At first glance, the Ariya in the video looks closer to the concept version that was showcased last year in Tokyo Motor Show.
The new teaser video shows that the car will be available with a two-tone theme. The sloping roofline of the model seems to be accentuated by a silver-coloured chrome strip. The striking roof spoiler of the concept car seems to survive the switch to the production version of the Ariya. The Ariya gets black treatment in the bumper, wheel arch edges, inserts at the sills, mirror caps and the roof. The video also shows a white version, the roof of which is painted in body colour.
