Nissan had a huge head start when electric vehicles were hitting the market. They were among the first to offer an EV to the general public; the Nissan Leaf. But along the way, Nissan didn’t capitalize on their early lead which allowed other auto manufacturers to catch up and bring new generation EVs to market. Now in 2023, they have finally given us a new generation EV called the Nissan ARIYA. But is this EV worth the wait or is it too late to the game?
The Ariya that I had on demo was the Platinum+ e-4orce. EV name aside, it means that this is the most powerful variant of the Ariya with 389 hp & 442 lb-ft of torque (290 kW & 599 Nm). With this EV tipping the scales at 2,274 kg (5,013 lbs), Nissan claim a 0-100 km/h time of 5.1 seconds.
With the two battery packs, powertrain configurations, and trim options, the 2023 Nissan Ariya has a driving range of between 330 km (205 miles) for the Evolve e-4orce and 490 km (304 miles) for the Venture+. This Platinum+ e-4orce is rated for up to 426 km (265 km) of driving range. During my time with the EV, I averaged an efficiency rating of 25.2 kWh/100km (2.47 mi/kWh).
The big change when it comes to charging the Ariya is that Nissan has moved away from the CHAdeMO type connector and is now using a CCS Combo charging port. The Ariya can charge at a maximum speed of up to 130 kW.
