Nissan will offer two battery levels in the Ariya, one of which will pair with a single motor that sends power to the front wheels. The other option is the e-4ORCE dual-motor all-wheel-drive system currently featured in the latest Nissan Leaf.
The standard single-engine powertrain will have a 65-kWh battery and deliver a combined output of 215 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque, while the dual-motor system will feature a 90-kWh battery and put out 335 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque. According to estimates, the long-range battery powertrain should allow the Ariya to go about 300 miles on a single charge.
