Ariya offers two battery sizes, the choice of front-wheel drive or Nissan’s dual-motor e-4ORCE (sic) all-wheel drive[2] and a line of five grades. Ariya has an EPA-estimated driving range of up to 304 miles [3] and optional ProPILOT Assist 2.0 for hands-off highway driving [4] on some trim levels. Arriya models come equipped with either a 63-kWh standard range battery (exclusive to Engage) or an 87-kWh long-range battery, with output ratings ranging from 214 to 389 horsepower.

The optional dual-motor e-4ORCE all-wheel drive system is said to enhance driver confidence and stability, delivering a smoother, more comfortable ride. e-4ORCE continually optimizes front and rear torque allocation, and applies independent brake control at each of the four wheels to maximize the cornering force generated by each one. By controlling vehicle momentum and handling, the e-4ORCE system also reduces vehicle pitch and dive.
