Although impressive, this has less to do with the 4WD and more to do with the winter tyres that are fitted. Car Wow did a video a while ago where a FWD car beat a 4WD just due to tyres.
So e-force equals traction control. Wow! What a brand new concept that nobody's ever heard of before. How much did Nissan pay you to make this ad and how much do I get for watching it?
This video really was quite a hoot. I did notice that winter tyres were fitted (OK I'm a nerd but noticed the sipes in the tread blocks in the early part of the video before the sub title) these tyres make a massive difference in the winter when temperatures are less than 7 degrees C. They can be hard to find in some sizes. Anyway I digress, for an EV with loony amounts of torque this is quite impressive, on summer rubber the result may have been a tad different though. I love the fun banter and the sledge bit, a great double act. Ginny the serious one with the facts but has a definite soft and very considerate side and Nicola who's a brilliant bundle of fun and says things as she sees them, maybe not always at the right time in the right company. Thanks for sharing.
Gotta love the marketing of simply adding another motor. Well done Nissan, but you're a little late to the party. Guessing you were busy with the Leaf a decade ago 😂
I waited the whole video for a mention of the Nissan ARIYA e-4ORCE currently in an Antarctica headed for the South Pole to complete the Pole to Pole expedition. Chris and Julie Ramsey are from Aberdeen.
The car just had winter tyres on. You could tell by the sipes and snow embedded in the blocks. The tyres have made the difference not so much the eforce!
It says in the video it is fitted with winter tyres not available in the UK. Which is more the reason it got up the slope than all the eforce tech. Type of tyre is very important, it is the only link between car and road surface.
Impressed how the performs on the Ski slope, but less so on the road getting to the Slope, Ginny & Nicola both looked like bobbing fishing floats, is the suspension really that harsh, if it is then Nissan should have spent more money there, than rather on something only 1% of people in the UK will need. 🤔
I know it says it is a sponsored ad and many other channels have sponsors for episodes or the channel itself. Many of these sponsors are for loosely linked items such as Stormberg Clothing, Squarespace etc and not a product that is directly linked to the channel and one which benefits from a promotion linked to supposed independent reviewers. I do think it harms the channels integrity and independence. Some may not care, that's fine, I do as to will make me think twice about the views expressed in other reviews.
So this was just a paid advert for Nissan. Many more of these and I won't be watching this channel again . I subscribe to this channel to see honest reviews, not paid adverts for car companies
Not once but more than once drove from Cornwall to Essex then onto the Lake District in blizzard conditions. And what was the awe inspiring vehicle with all the bells, whistles and off-road capabilities vehicle I owned at the time? A 1980s Fiat Panda FWD. And after that chosen car, I had another of the same model; and again but in a different year, drove from Monmouthshire to the Lake District in a blizzard. The first few times I made it door to door to door. The last time in a Panda, I made it to within 4mi and walked the rest. While I was readying for the walk, the engine was cooling and before leaving the car, I taped a bag over the exhaust pipe and draped a wool blanket over the engine. Over the next 7-10 days, I checked on the car if passing and eventually the roads were cleared enough for me to move the car on the remaining 4mi. The bag had kept the exhaust from filling with windblown snow and the blanket had kept the windblown snow from choking the engine bay. A bit the WD40 and the shovel I still carry during winter did the rest. Long story short. You work with what you have, you get to know the capabilities of what you have/drive and plan for the ‘What if’. You plan ahead and if you think you’ll ever drive in say a deep snow, through a blizzard, in deep water, over a muddy field. You drive in those conditions where and when it’s safe to do so - before - you really need to do so and with instruction if needed. So when the ‘What if’ become the ‘When’ or it’s happening now. You’ve got the best chance of getting to your intended B and then onto C if needed.
Why are people so bent that they made an ad? Absolutely silly. They showcased an EV. Hit the talking point that the client wanted. We get some information. Nissan gets exposure, and Electrifying gets paid. (plus it was a funny vid). Everyone wins. Except, perhaps, those with exceptionally thin fuses.
When you live at the top of a hill that over looks a city and is famous for Taxi drivers refusing to go up in Snow, we appreciate a snow mode 😂 the camera always flattens out slopes if you can get from bottom to top then it’s a win.
As others have mentioned, it is a pity that you don't mention the winter tyres that were on the car. Regardless of eForce, if the Ariya had been on normal tyres, I doubt it would have got up that slope. Winter tyres were the key and I have been a firm believer and user of winter tyres (in winter) for many years, whether it is snow, ice or just colder than +7 degrees C. I think I am correct in saying that winter tyres on a 2wd are better than normal tyres on a fwd. I'm a bit of a nerd, I know :-), but even in the UK, winters tyres are a good idea.
Yes, I've acknowledged that already, it is on screen in the subtitles for around 5 seconds, in relatively small type, The fact that is not mentioned in the audio and the fact that Nissan point out that they don't provide winter tyres is a little disingenuous though, don't you think. The car, as it is set up, cannot be bought from Nissan (i.e. you can't get winter tyres from them) means the video does not represent that facts. IMO, the winter tyres have more benefit than the eForce technology. Not exactly thorough journalism IMO@@chillout1109

Is this a paid ad ? It comes across as one. Transparency would be much appreciated.
Ah, I just read the description. It *IS* a paid ad.
They should have made it clearer this is a paid commercial. Or risk their reputation going down the toilet
It said paid partnership on the screen at the beginning.
I think the bad acting at the beginning is the bigger issue ;-)
watched till i saw paid - scrolled till i saw this and wrote this - and moved on ...................Ginny really..................
Dreadful, ladies.
More about women having fun than cars.
Although impressive, this has less to do with the 4WD and more to do with the winter tyres that are fitted. Car Wow did a video a while ago where a FWD car beat a 4WD just due to tyres.
Why don't you show the car going up the slope with ordinary tyres on? That would be a better display of the car's potential.
What are ordinary tyres? Summer ones? What if everyone fitted all season tyres, would they then be ordinary?
So e-force equals traction control. Wow! What a brand new concept that nobody's ever heard of before. How much did Nissan pay you to make this ad and how much do I get for watching it?

Any car with winter tyres will get up there!
Didn't Michelin have a FWD Skoda Octavia with CrossClimate tyres driven up that ski slope?
I think that another channel did a Peugeot with all season tyres and grip control go up there.
I think being clear that winter tyres fitted would help. Same car without would t make it
I wonder how much Nissan had to pay to rent out that venue? lol 🙂
Good promo vid..
Sad to see you shilling. Just as the channel was really finding its feet.
Feels like a paid ad bc there’s no mention of cars with equipment technology or any kinds of comparisons.
Read the video description, it is a paid advertisement video by Nissan
I did wonder if this was a paid ad. Any 4wd EV with winter tyres would have made that. I expect most RWD EVs with winter tyres would have made that.

Tyres tyres tyres !
Paid ad.

This does rather look like a paid ad 🤔
pssstt, (that's because it is.)
What tyres did it have on? My car with all-seasons rarely has any trouble in snow.
It says in the video it is fitted with winter tyres not available in the UK. Which is more the reason it got up the slope than all the eforce tech. Type of tyre is very important, it is the only link between car and road surface.
I've watched it couple of times and I haven't heard any mention of winter tyres. Must be missing it.@@CosyP
There's a subtitle stating use of winter tyres at 3:57 .@@philhartley7564
Ah yes, I missed that@@Musketeer009
Like to see this with stock tyres
Brilliant! Too bad it doesn't have one-pedal driving, like its older sister LEAF.

Really didn't subscribe to watch paid promotions, even if they're fun.
No more of these please. You'll lose your subscriper base.

So going up a hill and coming down a hill How about turning on a hill ? Like most hilly roads I’ve driven on have corners
Electric milk floats could defeat any road conditions! Pleasant but who sponsored it?
Yes was going to say decent WInter Tyres are the massive difference but yes a good 4WD system will help things along :)
Well, there is a modified Ariya on its way to the south poll right now....
It looked like a very jiggly ride on route to Milton Keynes!
Is the car black, green or blue? I need an exam...
This would be a great test to add to all 4wd tests.
Not once but more than once drove from Cornwall to Essex then onto the Lake District in blizzard conditions.

Not a bad car from Japan that was prob made in China lol cheers great video ladies
Nicola, i was waiting to see if you'd grab the toboggan and head back up the slope with it 😂
For proper winter tests, you are welcome to north of Sweden, right now -10 degrees Celsius, and a snow depth of about one meter 😂
The Ariya works great in real snow weather, and in -23° in Northern Norway. Of course range will suffer, but not a problem for me.
I mean I'd watch Ginny reading the phone book so....
Looks like so much fun. I’d like to try this with my egolf some time.
Holy sheet! That is amazing😮 Great vid lovelies! 😊
Great video 🎉,very entertaining , thank you 😊

They did mentioned the snow tyres though, to be fair 3:54

Hello ladies
And why is this better than Tesla ?!?
Who said it was better? I missed that.
😂
What a scam
Poor rajinder…he owns a petrol station.
@@trainingtheworld5093 went straight over you're head the cars on winter tyres not even a option in the UK.
@@rajindernijjer You’ll have to go back to Uber driving.
@@trainingtheworld5093 you white folks have racism in your DNA
It was funny great vid girls, so is it the only that does that in snow.
does the car have a video recorder?
