NISSAN ARIYA (2024) - FULL VISUAL REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Nissan Ariya is presented as a significant upgrade over the Leaf, offering more space, range, power, and a daringly elegant interior with wood trim and haptic buttons. It is available in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations, with EPA-estimated ranges between 265 and 304 miles. While the interior design is a high point, the Ariya is criticized for lacking driving excitement and a slower maximum DC fast-charge rate of 130 kW compared to competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6. The reviewer notes that the e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive Platinum+ trim can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.0 seconds, comparable to higher-end EVs, but overall, it prioritizes a calm, stable ride over sporty driving dynamics. Despite price cuts for 2024, the Ariya is positioned above more affordable EVs but below the Tesla Model Y. The Venture+ trim is recommended for its 304-mile range.
