On September 27, Dongfeng Nissan unveiled new Ariya all-electric SUV. This new vehicle is also first model based on Nissan CMF-EV all-electric platform, with a total of four models launched. , price range is from 272,800 to 342,800 yuan.

Do you think price of a new car is high?

From an obvious point of view, price of Dongfeng Nissan Ariya will still exceed expectations this time, especially compared to same level Volkswagen ID.4 series, price is already much higher, but with current new car Judging from sincerity of disclosure, I feel that it is a bit worth money, so today we will also talk about whether it is worth buying this car.

For Dongfeng Nissan Ariya model, mass production was actually announced as early as 2020, but it won't be officially launched until 2022. Popularity has suffered, so overall popularity of new cars isn't really that high. .

However, judging by appearance of car, I personally think that it is still very recognizable. The car's elegant and heavy design is also consistent with Nissan's style. The overall outline is also very close to previous big brother Loulan. While maintaining avant-garde design, it is also different from other new brands with radical design, and I believe that such design can better meet aesthetic needs of consumers.

The new car's length, width and height are 4603/1900/1654mm respectively, and wheelbase is 2775mm, which is basically equivalent to Nissan X-Trail. It's a very standard compact SUV, but new car is taking on shape of an SUV coupe , most obvious of which is shape of large fastback at rear, and streamlined design also makes it a drag coefficient of only 0.297Cd, which also reaches a very good level.

In terms of interior design, Nissan Ariya also made major breakthroughs, such as adopting a see-through design for main seat and co-pilot position, which is very rare on SUV models, and center armrest can be moved forward. and back through engine. This design can also greatly improve space utilization rate in car.

In addition, new car is also equipped with a new style shift lever, touch button area, Dalian dual 12.3-inch central control screen, equipped with latest Nissan ProPILOT 2.0 L2+ intelligent driving assistance system, i-SAFETY intelligent active system. security system, etc. In general, we can say that this car is a purely electric model that combines all leading Nissan equipment.

As for power system, it can also be called most interesting part of Nissan Ariya. After all, Nissan can be considered a pioneer in field of electric vehicles. Back in 1948, Nissan had already launched first TAMA electric car, and follow-up Nissan Leaf LEAF, released in 2010, although not very popular in China, was once number 1 in world.

So, Nissan, which has years of experience in producing electric vehicles, also deserves our trust in terms of safety. As for Nissan Ariya, it also uses latest Nissan technology, such as use of new "cloud mapping platform" and independent research and development. "Electric excitation synchronous motor", e-4ORCE Xuehu electric four-wheel drive, etc., supported by of these new technologies, current front-wheel drive engine model has a maximum power of 178 kW and a maximum torque of 300 Nm, all-wheel drive model is equipped with a maximum power of 160 kW and a maximum torque of 300 Nm.

On other hand, Nissan Ariya is also equipped with a 90° battery pack as standard, which also extends range of new CLTC car to 623 km, while high-performance all-wheel drive has a range of 559 km and high-performance all-wheel drive top-end configuration The range of new version is 533 km. This performance is basically not much different from current mainstream first-line pure electric models.

So, in terms of product strength, Nissan Ariya is certainly a purely electric joint venture SUV, armed to teeth, and it also holds us quite a few surprises.

Let's go back to price level, which is main concern for consumers. The current price of Nissan Ariya in domestic market is between 272,800 and 342,800 yuan. /p>

1. Through a form of direct sales with centralized billing across country, most cities can receive an additional car purchase subsidy for a limited time. Among them, two models with long battery life can enjoy a cash discount of 20,000 yuan, and two high-performance models can enjoy a cash discount of 30,000 yuan.

2. Users who placed orders for low-end models before November 1 can also upgrade to higher-priced models for free and receive three warranties for electric vehicles and vehicles, as well as 2,000 degrees of free public charging.

Following imposition of two aforementioned car purchase subsidies until November 1st, Nissan Ariya is actually only offering two additional configurations:

Top 252,800 RMB Long Battery Version (RMB 272,800 Long Battery Version - 20,000 RMB Cashback)

RMB 297,800 high-performance 4WD top version (RMB 327,800 high-performance 4WD version - 30,000 RMB cash discount)

Therefore, after a series of version upgrades and cash discount subsidies, actual starting price of 257,800 yuan can directly switch to top version of Nissan Ariya, combined with subsequent 2000 kWh government electricity credit, it still has strong competitiveness. .

It is worth noting that current prices in Europe start at £41,000, which is about 310,000 yuan, which is actually tens of thousands of yuan higher than price in domestic market.

Then, problems faced by new cars are now obvious. If Ariya starts at RMB 252,800 and can be directly upgraded to top configuration, how many users will it end up winning? Still worthy of our attention.
