Ariya Concept To Spearhead Nissan’s CES 2020 Exhibit

Nissan is bringing all of its latest concepts to next year’s Consumer Electronics Show, from the zero-emission Ariya Concept, to an electric ice cream van, and even a really smart golf ball that always finds the cup.

During their visit to the automaker’s booth in Vegas, guests will also be able to experience “omotenashi”, meaning true Japanese hospitality. CES 2020 takes place from January 7-10 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The star of the exhibit will surely be the Ariya Concept, which will also make its North American debut after its unveiling at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show back in October.

This is what Nissan design exec Alfonso Albaisa had to say about the Ariya:

“A new vehicle architecture means fresh opportunities to redefine how vehicles interact with society, how an EV paired with advanced driving capabilities can offer a new perspective. The exterior strikes a balance between dynamic beauty and ‘tech sharpness,’ with proportions that show what’s possible with Nissan’s 100% electric vehicle platform. The surprisingly short overhangs, large cabin, large wheels and tailored two-tone paint scheme provide an elegant appearance that balances sport and luxury.”

The only performance-related facts known about the Ariya are that it features dual electric motors at the front and one motor at the rear, and that it’s capable of hands-off driving while cruising on the motorway.

Then there’s the ice cream van of the future, based on a Nissan e-NV200, a golf ball inspired by the automaker’s ProPILOT 2.0 advanced driver assistance technology, as well as Nissan’s new Formula E and LEAF e+ electric vehicles.
