It will be the first electric SUV by the company and will not be offered with an internal combustion engine. Find out more details below.

India Launch?

The Nissan Ariya is still not in production and is in the development phase. But Nissan is sure to get this car into production.

It could go into sales in global markets by 2022.

This product could also be brought in to the Indian market. Electric SUVs have seen good sales in the Indian market with the likes of the Hyundai Kona and the MG ZS EV. This car could further build the brand name of the company in the Indian market. The car does look similar to the Nissan Kicks that is offered in our market but that will only be in proportions.
