Nissan Ariya Soon Will Be Available For Pre-Order In Norway

Nissan has announced that later this month, on the World EV Day (September 9), will open Nissan Ariya pre-orders to the public in Norway as its first market in Europe. The prices are not yet announced.

Pre-ordering is already possible in Japan, and more markets to follow later this year, but the actual market launch of the Ariya is still far.

In Japan, sales will start "this winter", which means 2021/2022 (instead of mid-2021), while in Norway customer deliveries are expected to begin in Summer 2022. That's around a year from now.

The launch in the U.S. and Canada was expected in 2021, but now it's probably also 2022.

Leon Dorssers, regional senior vice president, marketing and sales, AMIEO. said:

“We are excited to open pre-orders for our 100% electric coupé crossover on such an iconic day. Nissan has led electrification for over 10 years and we can't wait to get customers behind the wheels of our highly anticipated Ariya. From the advanced technology on-board to the fun-to-drive performance and handling, we are confident our customers will find even more features to love,”.

Four versions

Just like in Japan, there will be a total of four versions of the Nissan Ariya all-electric crossover/SUV, with two battery options and two powertrain options (front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

Interestingly, the small battery version will be available only with the front-wheel drive system (a year ago, it was indicated that there will also an all-wheel drive version with the small battery).
