2027 Nissan Ariya Colors: Plasma Green Options – The 2027 Nissan Ariya receives a mid-cycle refresh focused on cleaner design, new wheels, and updated exterior color options inspired by Nissan’s “Timeless Japanese Futurism” philosophy. While the refreshed model arrives at Canadian dealerships in early fall 2026 (and is available in other global markets such as Europe and Japan), it is not offered as a new vehicle in the United States.
Nissan discontinued the Ariya for the U.S. market after the 2025 model year, citing import tariffs on the Japan-built vehicle and a strategic shift toward the more affordable redesigned Leaf. Remaining 2025 inventory and certified pre-owned examples are the primary options for U.S. buyers at this time.
Design Refresh and Color Palette Updates
The most visible exterior change is a redesigned front end. A body-color front panel replaces the previous large dark panel, paired with a reinterpreted V-Motion signature and updated lighting. New 19- and 20-inch wheels combine aluminum and resin elements for a more premium stance.
Nissan expanded the exterior color range with a standout new shade: Plasma Green. Inspired by natural light phenomena (often compared to the Northern Lights or aurora effects), this color appears as a sophisticated green that can shift subtly depending on lighting and viewing angle. It is frequently shown in two-tone form with a contrasting black roof, pillars, and lower cladding.
Some markets also introduce or highlight Dark Red (also referred to as Deep Crimson in Japanese specifications).
Monotone Exterior Colors
Available monotone (single-tone) options typically include a mix of established and updated shades (availability varies slightly by market):
- Plasma Green (new)
- Pearl Black / Midnight Black
- Aurora Green
- Pearl White / Prism White
- Ceramic Grey
- Dark Grey Metallic / Gun Metallic / Dark Metal Grey
- Stealth Grey
- Midnight Purple (select markets)
These range from solid and metallic finishes to pearl and special multi-coat paints.
Two-Tone Exterior Colors
Two-tone combinations remain a signature of the Ariya, usually pairing a body color with a Pearl Black or Midnight Black roof, mirrors, and lower accents for a floating-roof effect. Common and updated pairings include:
- Plasma Green with black roof (highly featured in 2027 press materials)
- Pearl White / Prism White with black roof
- Other carryover combinations such as Blue Pearl or select metallic shades with black accents
The floating roof treatment enhances the crossover’s sleek, modern profile.
Interior Color and Material Notes
While exterior colors receive the most attention in the refresh, Nissan also updated interior options in some markets. The redesigned center console (now offering up to 3.2 liters of storage plus a 15W wireless charger) pairs with available ambient lighting that can be personalized across a wide color range. Seat materials typically include cloth, synthetic suede/leatherette combinations, and higher-grade options depending on trim.
Choosing a Color for Style and Practicality
- Plasma Green stands out for buyers seeking a distinctive, modern look that highlights the Ariya’s futuristic lines without being overly flashy.
- Neutral tones such as Pearl Black, Ceramic Grey, or Pearl White offer timeless appeal and easier resale.
- Two-tone configurations add visual drama and emphasize the vehicle’s coupe-like roofline.
Color choice can affect perceived size, heat absorption (darker colors may absorb more heat in sunny U.S. climates), and how dirt or road salt shows. Always view colors in person under different lighting when possible, as digital images and official renders can vary.
Availability and Next Steps for U.S. Shoppers
Because the 2027 Ariya is not part of the U.S. lineup, interested buyers should:
- Check remaining new 2025 Ariya inventory at local Nissan dealers
- Explore certified pre-owned examples
- Monitor Nissan USA announcements for any potential future return of the model
- Consider cross-border options or travel to Canada if importation is feasible (subject to regulations)
The refreshed Ariya continues Nissan’s emphasis on refined electric mobility with a cleaner design language shared with the latest Leaf. Plasma Green and the expanded monotone/two-tone palette give the model a refreshed visual identity that aligns with current EV design trends.
For the most accurate and up-to-date color availability in specific markets, consult official Nissan regional sites or authorized dealers, as options can differ by country and trim level.
