REAL WORLD VS EPA: HOW FAR CAN A NISSAN ARIYA GO AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS?

EV Channels Review

This video thoroughly tests the real-world highway range of the 2025 Nissan Ariya Platinum+ e-4ORCE with 20-inch wheels. The reviewer found the vehicle to be comfortable with a premium interior, praising its design and appointments, particularly the blue Nappa leather and wood trim. However, the steering wheel's limited adjustment and small cup holders were noted as minor drawbacks. The ProPilot Assist 2.0 system was found to be inconsistent. The Ariya achieved 249.6 miles at a constant 70 mph, falling just short of its highway EPA rating of 248 miles but nearly matching the combined rating of 257 miles. This result is considered decent, especially given the less-than-ideal ambient temperatures (40s-50s Fahrenheit) and mild wind conditions. The reviewer highlights that while the Ariya offers a luxurious experience, its price point and range are not class-leading compared to competitors like the Tesla Model Y, making it a premium, albeit expensive, option in the compact crossover segment.
