@@xiaoka Mazda should be ashamed of itself overall, they don’t really sell to well even in Japan, will last in Europe 10 years tops, don’t have a profitable side business like Honda does with motorcycles, to keep the pointless not selling at all cars on the market.
A month ago I had the Ariya on loan for a full day here in Japan, and it's a beautiful vehicle, I liked it more than my current Nissan leaf in terms of road noise and overall comfort. It felt truly luxurious, like really floating above the road. But I drive a lot in the very narrow Japanese mountain roads so it's a bit too big for that :-)
Perfect timing! I have literally just returned from a test drive in a gunmetal grey Ariya here in sunny England. Bear in mind we have owned a 2018 Leaf for over 2 years and own a 2011 Leaf too (great fun and peppy!), plus have driven a Tesla Model 3 and a Polestar 2. I have followed EVs since GM announced their AUTOnomy Hy-wire hydrogen car in 2002 at the Paris auto show. Other than the awful haptic controls for changing the driving mode (Sports/Standard/Eco) and ePedal status, the thing is stunning and huge. You have to see it in person up close. Driving it is like being in any large SUV, but very refined and the cabin is quiet. The whole dashboard looks fantastic and the infotainment system is fast, although some aspects such as DAB radio controls are a bit dated, but all the graphics to do with the vehicle (seat heating etc) and speed/energy usage dials are modern and look very Japanese retro sports car - a good thing! It is going to be very hard to choose which EV to buy from a design and feature angle. Tomorrow we try an IONIQ 5, but I think the Ariya is going to win due to the high ride height that makes getting in and out less of a strain on the back, stunning looks and the general Nissan build quality. Nissan are going to do very well with the Ariya once people see one up close in one of the cool colours Nissan offer. The Tesla Model Y, IONIQ 5, Ariya, Polestar 2 and MG4 are going to do much to take EVs to the next level of sales. 3-4 years from now, they will be 25% cheaper and do 500 miles, but for now...
In 3-4 they’ll be 25% cheaper? Do you even follow the market anyhow? How the businesses are doing and dealing with the supply shortages? Those are 25% more expensive than half a year ago. In 3-4 years the EV and battery and mineral crisis will become official, not how it’s swept under the rug right now as some of the mineral surpluses already have been depleted that were supposed to last for years. And this got nothing to do with Covid, it’s the current situation. New battery tech will start appearing maybe in 10 years but those will be first models. Expect them to go back to 2020 prices by 2035-2040 at earliest.
I laughed out loud on the Instagram message bit. "Hey Lyn, could you make my Pontiac Aztek worth something?" So good. Love the sense of humor in these videos.
The best EV ever! Thanks again Nissan. It's beautiful and powerful. Great job! The only other thing I could've said is how Sassy it looked but Lyn out sassed everything. 😄🇨🇦
@@kbb Lyn is smart, well-spoken, and easier on the eyes than Mr Muzio. And if this is Micah reading this comment .... 😛Haha, just kidding! I love your videos.
While it is expensive, at the very least it looks the part. Its a couple grand cheaper than the model 3 and yes tesla is better in the speed/range department but the quality is on the lower side
If you can charge at home during off peak hours or at work (bye bye fossil stations), and with a minimum of maintenance that's worth several grand right there during the ownership period of the vehicle. Not to mention used EV prices don't depreciate nearly as badly as ICE vehicles. One thing they didn't mention (I could have missed it) is the Li ion battery is thermally managed, unlike the current Leaf, so degradation won't be an issue unless there is a defect (modern EVs hit 300k km with most of their range intact).
@@Wasssup3232 They had a raft of people experience total battery failure inside of 10000 miles. They chalked it up as "user error" or "not charging the battery per factory specs". Many owners have been forced to either shell out $10k plus to replace the battery or crush the car.
@@rcoveyduc hmm early examples I take it? Seems to be better now from what I've seen, we did have someone who bought a leaf and used our fast charger 4 times a day and DESTROYED his battery in 5 months time
Nice looking exterior design and I appreciate that grille design representing the parting clouds and rising sun. I also like that clean design in the interior. Departure from gloss black is great! OTA updates -- about time!! (I drive a Tesla Model 3 and appreciate all the updates.) I do think that all manufacturers offering Apple Car Play will start billing for the app (because Apple bills them!). Ditto Google. One pedal is the way to go! For sure. Besides convenience, I think it improves range too. Lots of battery size/range options. With increased build out of charge networks, this is a great step forward for Nissan. [Looking forward to a Honda EV here; the cute mini one in the EU isn't marketed here, of course.] This is a really nice review; thanks!
No full one pedal driving sucks. Try stop-and-go traffic in a Nissan Leaf with true e-Pedal and then try it with e-Step in an Ariya. The fact that Nissan nailed one-pedal driving so fantastically in the Leaf and failed to bring that technology forward to this car is mind-boggling. They did not even offer a setting to activate true one-pedal mode. I absolutely abhor stop-and-go traffic, but not until I drove in a traffic jam in my Nissan Leaf did I truly appreciate one-pedal driving's greatest benefit. So sad that I will be cancelling my Ariya order because of this glaring flaw.
@@Cosmycal I walked on to a Volkswagen dealership lot at the beginning of the year with a plan to purchase the ID.4. I loved the look of the car and the features. Then I test drove it and I was trying to figure out what felt wrong about it. I felt like I was driving an ICE vehicle. And then it dawned on me -- no full-stop on the regenerative braking -- i.e.: no one-pedal driving. Couple that with the fact that the ID.4 is programmed to ease in the acceleration and the car just felt wrong. I walked away going from being sure I would buy it to no possible way. Ever since then, I have not even looked at EV's that lack one-pedal driving. In fact I ordered the Ariya because I was SURE it would have it because of my Leaf's e-Pedal. I don't want to drop $60K to feel cheated every time I get caught in a traffic jam and find myself constantly moving my foot from the accelerator to the brakes and back again as I watch the cars next to me force their way in to my lane because of the delay that causes. Same reason I won't drop $60K on a Tesla -- can't imagine having to use Bluetooth to listen to music each time I get in the car and have no access to the apps on my phone from the dashboard. Great cars with glaring flaws that would be so easy to fix, but the manufacturer thinks they know better.
I LOVE driving my Leaf with full one pedal driving and can't imagine getting a new EV without it. I wonder why they removed such a useful feature! It is focus groups? Don't listen to them because how would they know if they like it unless they've actually tried it? It wouldn’t cost anything extra for Nissan to include it as an extension to e-Step right? It's a huge oversight IMO. I'm planning to get the next-gen Maxima EV but if one pedal driving is left out, I wouldn't even consider it.
given the direction today of the market and the fact there is alot of 'murano-ness' vibes comin off of the design...it wouldnt suprise me if the pulled that move....but upon further research the are actively working on the gen 4 murano...I own a gen 2
It won't replace the Murano, at least not in the near future. Keep your eyes on the market though, as models like the Murano might be going fully electric before too long.
No MX-TURDY on sale anymore, no BZ4X anymore (indefinitely recalled), so does that mean the Ariya is delayed indefinitely? When does this thing go on sale?
My White Pearl Ariya will be ready for pickup within the next 2 months. I’ve been saving $ since Nov ‘21 when I placed my order at the LA Auto Show. I think my ride will be way better than Model Y (and for LESS)!
It looks like its Deep Ocean Blue Pearl (based on Nissan's website). It's only available on one trim (EVOLVE+) but that could change by the time that an ARIYA can be ordered again.
Right now the hold up is micro chips. This car is made with thousands of them so the shortage has slowed production, but they are coming in early November.
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video looking forward to seeing this vehicle here $58000 cdn for the base model I went to the us website for nissan and then converted to our currency
I had a 2012 LEAF which I traded for a 2022 LEAF. Recently I was able to sit in an Ariya which was in the dealer showroom while my LEAF was getting its state inspection. They let me turn it on and its controls looked in some ways like the LEAF, but there were also some new features. While I'll not be in the market for a new car for a while, I was certainly impressed by the Ariya. I'll recommend it to my sister and brother-in-law, who will probably be buying a new car in the next couple of years. And Nissan will be my go-to brand for another EV when I'm ready.
Question: just like with phones that only receive updates for so long, how long will Nissan promise updates to their vehicles? Besides powertrain, parts and service warranties car companies now need to supply firmware warranties. Better yet, design their cars with upgradeable computer control modules, or start taking advantage of the phone's processor.
I LOVE this. I’ve been waiting for this SUV. This is quickly going to become a top EV. Only thing is I’m pretty sure this doesn’t qualify for federal EV tax credits.
Lyn mentions that it does not toward the end of the video. Nissan is working to rectify that situation given the federal government's newest requirements for vehicles to qualify.
Considering how easy it is to put these vehicles together it shouldn't take much to modify a USA assembly line, I'm not sure about the battery though, and if that has to be made in the USA for the credit.
Eric I mean if you don’t mind having a vehicle with a charging network that’s less superior, batteries that won’t last as long after 10 years, and The bugs that come from having a first generation electric vehicle versus Tesla which has been making electric vehicles since 2003…. Then yes you can do whatever you want looks are subjective. I think the Nissan looks really nice but I’m just the type of person to choose the better technology regardless of what anybody might think. Looks is nothing compared to the components
@@IRLSuperb Why do you talk as if the Tesla batteries don't degrade over time, and as if the software in Teslas doesn't have any bugs excluding the notoriously known quality in their vehicles? All batteries degrade and all car systems have bugs. There isn't an exception to it.
@Cheez 101 you made the right choice. I never liked the styling of tesla vehicles. And this girl I was dating who has one asked me to drive and it was a terrible ride. I felt every bump like I was in a bus. Don't like the lack of buttons I felt lost and having to look at that iPad for everything was annoying af. Not sure if this is an all ev thing but I hated the one pedal driving in the tesla at least. Felt so jerky, like I was giving myself whiplash. Alot more negatives to list. Good charging network though but I don't care About that, I know people who don't have tesla vehicles who travel and haven't had a problem. Ariya has so much more. HUD, blind spot, self parking, physical buttons, digital rear view mirror, android auto (I can't do without this. Hated in the tesla having to look an address up on my phone only to have to put it in the tesla map thing 🙄). Etc.
This might just move us away from our Honda CR-V loyalty. The lack of fed tax credits though is a real concern since I can see this brushing up to $60k all-in.
Very nice! Does the Ariya have a frunk? If I was to buy an EV, the new Ariya looks like the one I would buy. Unfortunately, I am no longer in the market for a vehicle, as I use public transit for economic reasons 😢Lyn, you did an awesome job! I am a subscriber of Micah's channel, but after watching this video, I have now also subbed to the KBB channel as well. As Micah says, here's your high five 😄🤚
In these days of so called premium brands seemingly cutting costs by using cheaper materials etc, Nissan appear to be upping their game, this interior is stunning.
I understand that the sloped rear of the vehicle is for aerodynamics but I'd rather give up a small percentage of economy/distance tor an SUV with a more squared off back that can carry more. There are devices/designs that can improve wind flow where you can still increase cargo size.
I’m sure it’s very nice. I’m still waiting for an EV hot hatch type of car… something small and fun that doesn’t look so weird. The Model 3 is enormous to me as a GTI driver. The Kona is great but I don’t like the looks or particularly the interior. Once someone delivers something fun-ish and actually small for ~40k with 250 miles of range, I’ll be chomping at the bit to buy it.
@@ciello___8307Great suggestion, but the problem with the bolt (aside from the fact that it’s made by GM, which I personally dislike) is that it’s a bit of a penalty box (nicer in the new one but still not there, I think…) and it’s dreadful to look at. The bones are there, though.
Am a bolt owner (2017) range is great, interior is really lacking. New bolt premiers in the smaller non euv seems like the ideal econo electric car, fixed interior, better exterior, same 260 mile range
@@kbb I can understand the passenger but the touch screen can just have a volume controller near them on the screen and it can be updated OTA so it can be user friendly. Why a driver would want one on the dash boggles me since the idea is for convenience when the steering wheel is literally the most convenient and efficient spot for the driver.
I really love this car and was thinking of getting one. But unfortunately, it does not qualify for the federal tax credit starting in 2023. What a bumper.
@@Lovejazz01 just depends on your use case, places with great infrastructure should have no issues. The primary goal of the smaller battery is to come in less expensive than the base long range model, but to give you more features if you want bells and whistles but don’t care about super long range
Fun fact: most Americans drive an average of 30 miles a day. No doubt having more range will definitely make most car owners feel more comfortable, but in real-world scenarios a lot of folks just don't use it. It all depends on your driving needs. Thanks for the comment.
The ARIYA is an impressive combination of "real car" features (available pano tilt n slide moonroof & sunshade) and modern EV tech (dedicated EV platform providing very roomy interior). Elegant design with high quality materials and NISSAN's unmatched record for EV safety provides a class leading choice for consumers.

EVs are not inexpensive, but like the VCR of yore, we believe as technology improves and gets cheaper there will be more economical options.

Don't hate, my CVT Altima has 154,000 miles. I learned soon after purchase to change the fluid every 30k.

Good charging network though but I don't care About that, I know people who don't have tesla vehicles who travel and haven't had a problem. Ariya has so much more. HUD, blind spot, self parking, physical buttons, digital rear view mirror, android auto (I can't do without this. Hated in the tesla having to look an address up on my phone only to have to put it in the tesla map thing 🙄). Etc.
Does the Ariya offer ventilated front seats?
No ventilated seats on any model available for the time being.
Cooled seats on platinum model in US.
Didn't the quest have that moving console? Kinda cool to see that again
This might just move us away from our Honda CR-V loyalty. The lack of fed tax credits though is a real concern since I can see this brushing up to $60k all-in.
This is a concerning thing to be sure. Hopefully Nissan can get logistics figured out quickly.
“Peacock Booty”. I don’t know why I enjoyed Lyn saying that so much 🤷🏾♂️😌
It kinda looks like that!
Actually love the interior and exterior!
Great and beautiful car! 👍👍👍
It looks great. No more CVT.
That car looks fantastic. Almost 400 hp too wow
Honestly this Nissan EV is perfect
Nice, "Nissan Ariya," this girl has knowledge about cars! that's right she works for KBB! good job! point out the detail.
Very nice! Does the Ariya have a frunk? If I was to buy an EV, the new Ariya looks like the one I would buy. Unfortunately, I am no longer in the market for a vehicle, as I use public transit for economic reasons 😢Lyn, you did an awesome job! I am a subscriber of Micah's channel, but after watching this video, I have now also subbed to the KBB channel as well. As Micah says, here's your high five 😄🤚
Forget the MX-30. It's just a compliance car.
Checks that box for Mazda. 😂
Hence the thesis of the video that this car from Nissan feels like more than that. Thanks for the comment!
In these days of so called premium brands seemingly cutting costs by using cheaper materials etc, Nissan appear to be upping their game, this interior is stunning.
I understand that the sloped rear of the vehicle is for aerodynamics but I'd rather give up a small percentage of economy/distance tor an SUV with a more squared off back that can carry more. There are devices/designs that can improve wind flow where you can still increase cargo size.
Bravo Nissan! Looks even better than the Lexus RZ that is based on the Toyota BZ4x!
I’m sure it’s very nice. I’m still waiting for an EV hot hatch type of car… something small and fun that doesn’t look so weird. The Model 3 is enormous to me as a GTI driver. The Kona is great but I don’t like the looks or particularly the interior. Once someone delivers something fun-ish and actually small for ~40k with 250 miles of range, I’ll be chomping at the bit to buy it.
Check out the chevy bolt
@@ciello___8307Great suggestion, but the problem with the bolt (aside from the fact that it’s made by GM, which I personally dislike) is that it’s a bit of a penalty box (nicer in the new one but still not there, I think…) and it’s dreadful to look at. The bones are there, though.
Am a bolt owner (2017) range is great, interior is really lacking. New bolt premiers in the smaller non euv seems like the ideal econo electric car, fixed interior, better exterior, same 260 mile range
@@wilmotown the refreshed ones are genuinely pretty nice. For mid $20k you cant complain
lexus rz450e about 55k and worth it
Nissan is back!!
Nissan Ariya, it's a perfect car.
So this uses CCS and they’ve ditched ChaDeMo right?
Yes…
This is my next car. I can’t wait for US deliveries to begin.
Excellent video!😸
Why would a driver care for a volume knob on the dash when they have one on the steering wheel
Some folks like to use both and it's handy for a passenger to use as well. We just enjoy options!
@@kbb I can understand the passenger but the touch screen can just have a volume controller near them on the screen and it can be updated OTA so it can be user friendly. Why a driver would want one on the dash boggles me since the idea is for convenience when the steering wheel is literally the most convenient and efficient spot for the driver.
Is this the one recalled for the wheels falling off?
No that's the Toyota bZ4X.
Not yet, it hasn't hit the market yet. Only time will tell.
Nice looking car. I hope it sells well for Nissan. The Natchez Trace Parkway is very close to my home.
Shout out to Franklin, TN! I live a couple of miles from Nissan NA.
Hey well at least Im subscribed! 🤣 Love this new car EV from Nissan!
I don't get it. My mom's 2022 VW Tiguan has both wireless android auto and apple car play, why can't a brand new Nissan have both??
I really love this car and was thinking of getting one. But unfortunately, it does not qualify for the federal tax credit starting in 2023. What a bumper.
No mention of the DC Fast Charging standard Nissan wisely switch to.
If you head to 14:49 in the video, Lyn talks about the Ariya's Fast Charging capabilities.
@@kbb Yes & no mention of CCS.
Nissan has already said that production of the Ariya will move to the Canton, MS. manufacturing plant.
Is the head and leg room Danger approved?
Mike Danger got into both front and back seats and did pretty well.
If considering EV tax credits, make sure you are reading ALL the new requirements!! Many additions this year!!! 7:17 7:17
You should have gone to Leapers Fork. I hope Nissan does well with this new car.
Some comparisons with the market leader Tesla would have been useful, not comparisons to the market loser: Mazda's 100 mi range car.
Why does this keep getting compared to the MX30? Literally any other EV is competition 😂
I'm impressed.
Nice job Nissan! Please revive Infiniti next from a Q50 3.0T owner
I think the volume knob is so overrated. I would say 99% of the time I use the sterling wheel. I get sick of the complaining in videos about it
Same, I almost never use the volume knob, just the controls on my steering wheel
Looks great but the range is only 230 miles approx, probably less.
They are probably testing a 63KW battery model. 87KW battery is 304 miles EPA
That’s still plenty for around town, doable for some trips …
@@Lovejazz01 just depends on your use case, places with great infrastructure should have no issues. The primary goal of the smaller battery is to come in less expensive than the base long range model, but to give you more features if you want bells and whistles but don’t care about super long range
Fun fact: most Americans drive an average of 30 miles a day. No doubt having more range will definitely make most car owners feel more comfortable, but in real-world scenarios a lot of folks just don't use it. It all depends on your driving needs. Thanks for the comment.
So the Leaf was a fail?
Absolutely loveeeeee
I’m not a fan of electric cars but Nissan has changed my perspective with this new Ariya I love it!
Beatifull on Italy.
If only it was a SUV !
The ARIYA is an impressive combination of "real car" features (available pano tilt n slide moonroof & sunshade) and modern EV tech (dedicated EV platform providing very roomy interior). Elegant design with high quality materials and NISSAN's unmatched record for EV safety provides a class leading choice for consumers.
Nissans history with their recalls is my concern…
