DISCOVER THE NISSAN ARIYA: A DETAILED REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Nissan Ariya is presented as a strong contender in the EV market, particularly praised for its luxurious interior, which the reviewer considers the best in its segment. The design is highlighted as a significant positive, with the reviewer even suggesting it could wear an Infiniti badge. Performance is deemed good, with a 0-60 mph time of around 5 seconds. A key strength is its cold-weather performance, with the liquid thermal management system enabling a real-world range of approximately 300 km (186 miles) in -20°C conditions, outperforming competitors like the ID.4 and bZ4X. Comfort is exceptional, thanks to the 'zero gravity' seats. However, the review points out several drawbacks: wired Android Auto (instead of wireless), the 'Eep' mode not offering a true one-pedal driving experience, and a high price point, especially for the top-tier Platinum package model tested ($72,000 CAD). While it qualifies for significant rebates in Quebec, it misses out on US federal rebates. Despite these cons, the reviewer concludes it's one of the best EVs tested, especially for those prioritizing comfort, interior quality, and cold-weather range.
