NISSAN ARIYA AWD DRIVING REVIEW WITH E-4ORCE WINTER RANGE TEST!

EV Channels Review

The Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE AWD is reviewed, highlighting its design, interior comfort, and driving dynamics. While the exterior styling is noted for its brand consistency and electric vehicle-specific considerations like the lack of a frunk to optimize weight distribution, the interior receives mixed feedback. The seats are described as firm with insufficient bolstering, and taller drivers may find headroom limited, especially with a panoramic roof. The infotainment system's design is considered somewhat dated, though functional. Positively, the car offers a connected driving experience with well-balanced steering and excellent feedback, particularly due to its multi-link rear suspension and low center of gravity. The e-4ORCE AWD system provides confident handling, though the reviewer found the 'Sport' mode offered little advantage over the standard mode, preferring the refined power delivery and steering feel of the latter. The e-Pedal system is noted as being smoother and more refined than previous iterations. Real-world consumption was impressive, achieving 17 kWh/100km (27 miles/100 miles) in cold, mountainous conditions, translating to an effective range of approximately 370 km (230 miles) for the 87 kWh battery model.
