NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Nissan Ariya’s dual-motor e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive system has been named to the “Wards 10 Best Engines & Propulsion Systems” list for 2023
Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE here’s the news
Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE further consolidates its position as an industry-leading electric vehicle. The new recognition for Ariya comes in the same year in which Wards also awarded this car among the 10 “Best Interiors & UX”. The milestone achieved by Nissan in 2023 marks the 20th award won by the Japanese brand since Wards, way back in 1995, began examining all the best results obtained in the field of automotive powertrain engineering.
Ariya is the second Nissan EV powertrain to receive an award following the LEAF in 2011, when Ward recognized an electric motor for the first time. Its full-bodied, powerful acceleration and advanced driving assistance technology ProPILOT Assist 2.02 improve driving performance. These characteristics make it a perfect car for daily travel in both urban and motorway contexts.
Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE: the electric one you don’t expect
e-4ORCE offers excellent handling for a family vehicle. It’s not just about strong acceleration but also high-speed overtaking maneuvers, a weakness of many other BEVs, said Drew Winter, contributing editor for WardsAuto and judge of Wards 10 Best Engines & Propulsion Systems. It is a robust and technically advanced family vehicle that offers consumers a remarkable choice of configurations regarding power and range.
The Ariya in Sport and kick-down mode is downright amazing, said Wards 10 Best Engines & Propulsion Systems judge Christie Schweinsberg. This is demonstrated by the effect of the gravitational force exerted on my face and neck. The car is really fast even in Standard and Eco modes. The Ariya is so quiet, smooth and with such linear acceleration that you could quickly exceed the speed limit without even realizing it.
Ariya models with e-4ORCE technology use paired electric motors to provide power to all four wheels. The “e” in e-4ORCE stands for the electric motor drive system, developed entirely by Nissan. “4ORCE” (pronounced force) is a name that refers to the physical power and energy of the vehicle, while “4” refers to all-wheel drive.
By specifically managing power delivery and braking calibration to ensure comfort and stability, e-4ORCE improves driver safety by enabling clean driving trajectories on virtually any type of road surface.
