The next generation of Nissan Ariya EV was delayed in the United States until the beginning of 2022

The next generation of Nissan Ariya EV had to arrive in the United States and Europe by the end of this year, but the company now says that these dates will be repulsed. “We delayed the beginning of Ariya’s sales, which will now be available from 2022 from 2022 with reservations from this year,” a spokesman of the company told green car reports in a declaration.

The reason the delay is cited the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and a shortage of global fleas that has struck particularly difficult car manufacturers. “Nissan faces various challenges in the industry, including semiconductor shortage. Our priority is to ensure that we provide the brand new Nissan Ariya to customers with the highest level of quality and care”, said the company.

Sales in Japan were also postponed from the mid-2021 to “this winter”, with sales to follow in Europe and the United States about two months later, according to Executive Vice President Asako Hoshino. She added that the demand could be the highest in Europe when it arrives for the first time, overall sales should be in tens of thousands of people in the first year, a self-slip reported.

The Ariya is Nissan’s first new EV in a decade and has a much futuristic look compared to the Nissan leaf. It will come in a single FWD motor (215 hp) and dual-engine “E-4orce” (389 hp) (389 hp) versions. There are also two different battery options, with a 63 kWh battery and an optional 87 kWh battery – in the single motor version, it should be able to have up to 300 miles away on a load.

The US version should start at about $ 40,000 with the 63 kWh battery, which could fall to $ 34,000 with the $ 7,500 Federal Tax Credit. In France, buyers could accommodate up to € 12,000 ($ 13,100) with a € 7,000 tax credit and a € 5,000 credit for trading in an old diesel car.
