After checking out the Ariya ourselves, I think it's the car for us! At $62,000 it's the top loaded spec with the ventilated leather seats which aren't available on anything else that cost less that I've seen, unless I'm missing something. Comparably priced to a Polestar 2 with similar configuration, but it's much larger. The Aria sits up higher than just about anything else, it is easy to get in and out of, feels roomier than anything I've seen and has a nice ride. The next level down is $56,000 and I think that's right on par with just about everything else, isn't it? The Audi, BMW, Jaguar, and Mercedes are all more and aren't as big, (except maybe the Audi) aren't they? I guess the total bottom line is everybody wants something different in a car. Some want really sporty and stiff suspension some want smooth, silky, and quiet. I want it about the same size and and sitting up as high as my Lincoln MKX.

really like the exterior and interior aesthetics, high seating position coupled with low front hood for good visibility and the only manufacturer with the sense to make the floor area between driver and passenger open for people that want to stretch out while in cruise control mode, or place a backpack or handbag. all the other manufacturers seems to want to design for the people that want an f1 race car cockpit experience where you are wedged into either of the front seats.

That whole "where's the button" thing when you were showing off the drawer is exactly why physical buttons are better for usability.

Supposedly, Tommy, Ariya has capacitive-touch steering wheel, so that no “torque input” is necessary for Pro Pilot to know your hands are on the wheel. Did you read up on that before road testing?

I looked at the Ariya and the Ionic 5 and chose the Ariya because I loved the interior and how quiet it was. To me it was more fun to drive than the Ionic 5 as well. When I bought it, I got a $3750 rebate through Nissan Finance with a 2.99% 3 year loan which I can pay off as soon as I want. So it felt like a good deal at that price. Hopefully Nissan will bring production to the U.S. to get the ta rebate at some point. If it helps, my use case is in-town commuting. We drive my wife's larger 3-row any time we travel.

Interesting video, as usual, However, I notice that the audio varied in its loudness in the different sections of the video; initially not very loud, then loud, then not loud again. I had to change my loudness setting accordingly, which was somewhat annoying. (I am sensitive to loudness because I have a hearing deficiency.) I suggest trying to keep the loudness constant, if possible.

The Pro-Pilot 2.0 equipped vehicles have a Torque sensor AND a pressure sensor on the wheel. Instead of just touching the wheel you need to give it a squeeze.

The changing tax incentives have made this market segment very interesting. I’m not sure it’ll last, but for now, it’s the Wild West in terms of range/performance/price. I love the way the Ariya looks inside and out, but you’re right: at $62k that’s a tough pill to swallow. Excellent thorough review! Love seeing this in depth information on the current crop of mainstream EVs.

When I say your 3.4 mi/kWh I went to Nissan’s page and discovered that this is exactly their advertised mileage. Very impressive

Thanks for showing this. I was going back and forth between a few options and a Model Y. However, all of these smallish EV SUV's have a BIG problem. The Y is nice, AND cheap now. I mean 49k for the long-range version? The Nissan dealer near me had a standard range Ariya listed at 45k. Uhhhhh, no.

Not sure what issue you were having with the steering wheel but I've used the ProPilot on my Ariya Premiere practically every day since I got the car 3 months ago and never had any issue with it sensing my hand on the wheel or had to use much force. Usually it's enough for me to keep one hand resting on the bottom of the wheel around the 5 or 7 o'clock position. I think ProPilot 2.0 works great except for the fact that there seem to be too many gaps in coverage for the HD map data so it's stuck in ProPilot 1 level assist most of the time instead of the full suite.

I think the wheel doesn't need torque and has sensors to sense hands on the wheel. Just holding the wheel with enough flesh touching should be fine so wiggling the wheel isn't doing anything.

While it’s not Loveland Pass, we just drove our Ioniq5 (AWD) from Montrose to Telluride/Mountain Village and back (148 miles) and averaged 4.5 miles per kWh. Overall the slower speeds on mountain roads seem to offset the higher energy use when hill climbing. At least compared to driving at Interstate highway speeds.

Going further with that logic, wouldn't it be better just to state the range that's left, since there are significant differences in efficiency between models?

Charging: 63.3655 kW in 34 min = avg charging rate of 111.7 kW/hr for the 7->80% SOC session. Must have a pretty flat charging curve since 127 was the fastest charge rate early on. Very nice. 3.4 miles / kW seems like decent efficiency for the very tall Ariya driving in the mountains. Usually hill work gives worse efficiency than flat highway driving so 3.4 also seems quite good. Thank you for the look at performance of the Ariya Tommy and Alex!!

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I walked into my nissan dealer and placed a deposit for the ariya thanks for the presentation

Thought I’d seen that ARIYA uses capacitive touch-detection on the steering wheel? Does it change how many hands or position required for different road types?

Tommy, I am so glad that you have a channel that pays attention to EV’s, because when I had a deposit down on the Model 3 since the first day of it’s introduction, it seemed that your channel was negative about electric vehicles. You just ignored them. Don’t get me wrong, I want combustion engines to be around forever for weekend fun and for when they make sense for hauling and for range. Electrics won’t solve everything, but carbon emissions must be reduced for your future children and grandchildren!

Great video! Thank you. The car is old tech already. Perhaps the next gen with NACS/Tesla charging connector and 300 mile range..

I hope you do this test for the new Polestar 4 when it is released next year 😍

This would be good if you charge at home. 300 miles should at least be the sweet spot for commuters in snowy areas. Have some buffer of range while it’s cold out. Too expensive for the range.

The most demanding test ever done with an EV Ariya was when Chris and Julie Ramsey drove their Ariya from the North Pole to the South Pole. Absolutely no issues with the car. Not even an ICE bucket can make that claim. Everything was stock except for adding large wheels to deal with the terain. .

Tommy has the same hair stylist as his dad.

50 or so years ago when Japanese cars became popular, the US Government coerced Japan into building in the US using US labor, so now you see most Japanese companies building cars here for the US market, while no US car company build cars in Japan. Other countries followed suit. EVs are still relatively new (fewer then gas cars) and it takes time to move manufacturing overseas. We need to realize that production moved overseas means job cuts in their home country, so I feel that although the $7500 tax credit was great for US car companies, non-US car companies will need to work harder.

You can pick one of these for 10k off at our local Nissan Dealer. It’s an Evolve trim. It’s beautiful.

@TFLEV: The steering wheel is CAPACITIVE. You don't have to give ANY torque. You literally have to touch it and that's it. Not sure what went on there, but this is not normal. I do remember Nissan had a bad batch of steering wheels delivered by one of their suppliers. My guess would be, that the wheel in this car indeed was defective. Those warnings actually are very good indeed, the car will even stop and turn the hazards and E-Brake on if you don't react. People do dose off behind the wheel, it happens all the time, so the car better has contigencies for that. But again, I tried the Ariya and all I had to do was let my hand rest at the bottom of that wheel, no force applied whatsover. And that's exactly how it works on the current X-Trail and Qashqai models as well (Rogue and Rogue Sport for you guys over there).

Well it sucks to be you.

Believe it or not, EVs are the new popular kids on the block. They look good, and they have the new tech.

So I think it’s worth trying to figure out how that cost compares to a gas vehicle, if you have some kind of Honda Civic that gets 50 miles to the gallon, then the cost per mile is about the same. Although with an electric vehicle, you don’t have a lot of the other costs that a gas vehicle might have. But purely on fuel it’s somewhere in the neighborhood of $.10-$.11 a mile if you see a five dollar per gallon cost. Of course, if gas is cheaper, then that same car will do better than this EV. However, the vast majority of gasoline vehicles are closer to the 30 to 35 miles per gallon range. As a result, those vehicles are gonna cost about 50% more per mile. So I figure $.20 a mile for a 37 mile per gallon gas vehicle. so now, the cost for electricity at a charging station is going to save you quite a bit. Not to mention, for regular use between home and work and errands, cost significantly less than that.

You don't need to add torque on the steering wheel. It's capacitive touch. You were maybe touching the wrong parts of the steering wheel?

Ariya charges faster compared to most EVs when reaching 96% SoC because it has a significant higher speed at the end of the charging curve compared to nearly all competition. So it can charge the same or more amount of energy in 50 minutes than most rivals. 90kW at 84% SoC is impressive.

It's about 10K overpriced.

It's basically the same price as a high trim level Q4 etron audi. I'm not paying Audi price for a Nissan lol

ID.4 value proposition makes it a better buy. Not only does it qualify for tax credit but the VW charges at 170 kW max as well.

Although Nissan makes great cars but I wouldn’t pay that much for an Ariya. Great report, thx

Surprised on the torque comment..It’s capacitive. I put a finger on my wheel, I don’t twist at all. Might be a bug in the tester you got there

I'd rather buy a Polestar 2 and a used Chevy Bolt for that price😮

30 minutes to charge to 80% is too slow. Would it kill these automakers to do what Kia/Hyundai did and make an EV that can charge to 80% in under 20 minutes?

@@andreiionescu205 I am actually very excited to see how tech advances in the coming years. There are issues with the current crop of EVs but I do believe they can be overcome.

So much wasted time charging, not for me I'm always on the go with no time to kill. God forbid an emergency with low charge.
