Nissan Ariya laps up the Monte Carlo attention

The all-new, all-electric Nissan Ariya has made its public driving debut on the iconic Circuit de Monaco in the glamorous French Riviera.

The stunning coupe-crossover’s sleek design was perfectly complemented by the spectacular Formula E street circuit.

“Ariya’s public driving in the streets of Monaco is a great way to witness the capabilities of our e-4ORCE technology,” said Nissan’s Arnaud Charpentier.

“Ariya is the epitome of Nissan’s innovation in electric mobility and this event marks a defining moment in the next chapter of Nissan’s EV journey.”

Nissan’s first electric 4×4 comes with cutting-edge looks, up to 310 miles of range and serious performance in top-of-the-range trim (0-62mph in 5.1 seconds).

With a stylish, minimalistic interior packed with tech (two 12.3-inch screen stretched across the dashboard), it’s expected to be priced around the £40,000 mark.
