Nissan delays Ariya once again, will launch on May 12 in Japan

In a brief statement, Nissan announced that its fully-electric SUV Ariya will begin sales in Japan on May 12. That's yet another delay after the company was supposed to start shipments in late March.

Initially, the Ariya was scheduled for launch in 2021 but due to chip shortages induced by the COVID-19 pandemic, Nissan had to postpone. As of now, sales in Europe and the US should start sometime this summer and fall, respectively.

Notably, the carmaker was able to launch a limited edition of the Ariya in Japan this January, so there are some units roaming around right now.
