If you’re shopping for an electric SUV that’s capable in all seasons—and all conditions—Nissan’s e-4ORCE AWD deserves your attention. Available on select trims of the all-electric Nissan ARIYA, e-4ORCE is a breakthrough all-wheel control system that blends performance, control, and smoothness in a way that traditional AWD systems can’t match.

At its core, e-4ORCE (pronounced "e-force") is Nissan’s advanced dual-motor all-wheel drive system, designed specifically for electric vehicles. Unlike a mechanical 4WD system that relies on traditional drivetrain components, e-4ORCE uses two electric motors—one in the front and one in the rear—to independently power each axle. The result? Precise torque distribution, immediate traction, and intelligent control over every wheel.

Whether you're navigating icy mountain roads, accelerating onto a wet highway, or simply enjoying the daily commute through Boulder, e-4ORCE delivers confidence and comfort. The system constantly monitors road conditions and driver inputs, adjusting power delivery to maximize grip, balance, and ride smoothness.

✔️ Starting from a stop
On snowy or slick surfaces, e-4ORCE offers a calm but confident launch. It monitors tire slippage in real time, applying torque precisely where needed to ensure the ARIYA moves forward without drama or wheel spin.
✔️ In corners
When you take a turn, e-4ORCE calculates how much power and braking is needed on each wheel to keep the vehicle planted. By adjusting torque between the front and rear motors—and even between left and right wheels through selective braking—it keeps the ARIYA stable and responsive.
✔️ During deceleration
Unlike some EVs that use only the front wheels for regenerative braking, e-4ORCE distributes braking force between both axles. This means smoother, flatter stops with less forward pitch—resulting in a more composed ride for you and your passengers.

e-4ORCE goes beyond traction—it’s about making every part of the drive better. From quick lane changes on dry pavement to emergency maneuvers in unpredictable weather, this system is always working in the background to keep the ARIYA balanced and composed.
Where older AWD systems might have lag or mechanical limitations, e-4ORCE can shift power from 100% front to 100% rear and anywhere in between, instantly. It’s like having a performance-tuned, weather-smart co-pilot built into the ARIYA.

The Nissan ARIYA’s e-4ORCE technology is a prime example of how electric vehicles can offer more capability—not less—than their gas-powered counterparts. For Colorado drivers who need something that can handle unpredictable weather and mountain terrain with ease, e-4ORCE makes the ARIYA an incredibly compelling choice.

Want to feel the difference for yourself? Stop by Boulder Nissan and get behind the wheel of an ARIYA equipped with e-4ORCE. Whether you're new to EVs or a longtime electric enthusiast, you'll quickly see how this system enhances not just traction—but the entire driving experience.
