2023 Nissan Ariya First Drive
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июл 2024
- Better late than never, Nissan's finally brought a second generatioN EV to America! The new Ariya has all the things you'd expect in a modern EV: a choice of batteries, an active heated and cooled battery, optional AWD and a performance model. The only thing missing? An EV tax credit.

25.:17 Not having that Tesla logo is a plus for me
I’ll 2nd that 👍
Awesome video! It literally feels like Nissan has been talking about this vehicle off for 3+ years and they still haven't released them. Can't wait to see them on the road in the coming months. Hope they're able to produce a good amount of them.
17:20 I remember an article saying e-Step is used for snowy or icy roads, as it monitors the tire slippage (doesn't fully stop to prevent locked wheels). I could be mistaken though.
Very complete review. Lots of good information here. Thanks.
Thank you.. Great review. You have covered everything I need to know about this car.
Great music choice, I love Ariya-na Grande.
Nissan being a day late is not just about the delay due to the pandemic. With the LEAF they were essentially the first manufacturer to really mass produce a BEV, they even beat Tesla, although the Model S was for a different market than the LEAF. Had Nissan kept up the momentum and invested more in BEVs after the LEAF, they could have been dominating the market today.
Like all other OEM leaf was just the compliance car leaf from the beginning was a poorly engineered not tested car ..that air cooled battery pack was pathetic .. and worse they never bothered to do anything about it .. Nissan is equally as worse as Toyota to slow down the EV adoption ..if they have done any due diligence Tesla would have never came to rescue us .. stop the lies that Nissan cared … this aria is just a survival car .. and it not gonna save Nissan
I think the days of one EV mfg. dominating are coming to a close. So many nice solutions from many companies.
Probably Tesla 1st, then everybody else. Thus, yes, there will be a market dominator unless they screw it up.
@@KentBuchla They are already screwing it up IMO. They only compete in the luxury segment with a product that is more of a near luxury product(the 3 and Y). The pickup is years late and has a design that will make it a niche product.
I mean how could Nissan let go of making CVT transmissions that are ready to nuke themselves at a drop of a hat? Nissan is what happens when you are run by committee. Can't say it would've been any better if they weren't owned by the French as evidenced by Toyota, a leader in Hybrids, doing nothing. Likewise Toyota did nothing with hydrogen (like, idk, making refueling stations? Just a thought)
Excellent review, thanks. I have UK base version which I agree is the best bang for your buck and also would say is the most comfortable ride probably due to less weight with smaller battery.
I really like it. I’ll definitely be checking it out next year when AWD is available.
I have an Evolve Plus on order, wanted the extra features and longer range. Since I am a reservation holder I do get a 1300 discount from Nissan to make up for the price increase the vehicle went through before release. I was beyond impressed when I got to do a ride and drive and I'm very excited for mine to get here
I got an Evolve+ last week and really pleased with it. Hope you enjoy your new car when it arrives.
@@edlittle8831 Are you US or European? Still waiting on final news for the US builds
@@justinbyers7472 I'm in UK.
@@edlittle8831 Cool! Glad you are enjoying it, excited for mine
Great video thanks
The RZ is not worth it like at all. Same atrocious specs as the bz4x only more expensive
The Ariya is already the better Lexus rz450e
Brian is part of the die hard wiper club? God I think I'm in love 😍
It’s fine. It’s going to sell well. Nissan knows what they’re doing.
When will you update the review scores Alex
‘Modern interpretation of a Nissan Murano’ That’s… that’s not a compliment.
It is to me, I love my Murano and reserved an Ayria. I can’t wait!!!
ALEXONAUTOS you are here now!!!
Thanks for the review. I have been looking at upgrading my 2019 Nissan LEAF SL+ that I bought at a discount in 2020. I have considered many makes and models and find myself back at the Ariya (Platinum). I value the quiet and comfortable ride, the quality interior, the ADAS, and the AWD, as well as slightly more cargo space than the LEAF (though that's not saying much). At this point in late 2023, I'm starting to see a couple of used and new Ariyas on dealer lots with significant discounts. Within the next couple of months, I hope to make one mine.
They're a neat option in a popular segment, I just hope you find one with a deal. I think they're a bit expensive for what they are and it's a very competitive market. -Travis
Nice video, thanks! I am interested in the Ariya (big Nissan fan) but I'm not super loving the looks of it.
Good for Nissan! Looks like a hit. BTW new challenge: say "chip shortage" as fast as you can three times in a row :)
Does the base trim have a 360 degrees (birds eye view) monitor? Thank you.
I first owned a Gen 1 Leaf. I tried to wait for the Ariya but my local Nissan dealer had no idea when it would come out. I bought a Model Y instead.
A coworker ordered a long range mid trim front wheel drive
She is trading her 2020 Armada Platinum and not paying much after trading it she said like 28000ish after everything so I’d also consider people trading vehicles reduces what they are paying-
$51k for a lower trim AWD with extended battery, and without the creature comforts found in the base model. For the same price you van get a top spec Ionic 5. Or a midrange Mach-E. Imo both of those are better options in terms of value. Also I just don't see paying so much for a Nissan. Maybe if it was an Infiniti.
I'm in Canada and apparently the Venture + with Big battery does not come with heated front/rear seats nor steering wheel! 🤔 Did I get the wrong Information?
Teslabjörn just tested a 87kwh FWD Ariya, and the usable capacity is around 80 kwh until zero percent. There is a 5,5kwh buffer below zero
also, björn mostly got 115 kw charging, with 90kw also with a cooler battery.
The Ariya is nice but the loaded model is way too expensive. The Cadillac Lyriq is better for $60k. I like and think the Ioniq-5 is the best EV for the price.
The tax credit makes the Cadillac seem very nice. That said for the money the Ariya is good also and would be a fair amount less in price if not for the credit. The existing Lyric is only 2wd so I am comparing vs 2wd Ariya where it is $10k less.
I don’t understand why EVs that don’t have a transmission tunnel aren’t being made with open center consoles or like Ram pickups, fold up middle seats. The powered console just seems like wasted space.
The Equinox is going to be the interesting one to watch in the next year, if GM gets it right AND offers it at the right pricing point, get ready for big swings in the EV market. In my mind the general public have been waiting for the $33-$36k EV, Tesla promised it, didn't up about, I thought Hyundai/Kia would have one, nope, but if GM put out a half decent EV and are willing to sacrifice profit for market share next year will get interesting, especially for a certain EV only company (I happen to own one of their products)....Now, I will say, I had a Lyriq reserved, however, after getting 10 minutes to look around it I cancelled my reservation, great interior, but the door handles and charger port look like they will be major issues, you really have to see it to get where I am coming from, but the Equinox could be a winner.
I'd expect horses to be lower in the small battery pack, but with reduced weight from less batteries it balances out
This one is on my short list.
They should have updated the onboard charger, the car is brand new and it is already showing it’s age. 7.2 kw is not good enough for a car this expensive with the competition. I can go to my local dealership right now and get an EV 6 with much better charging capabilities and AWD already available. I think all decent electric cars will sell because there are not enough of them, but I don’t expect my local Nissan dealership will be able to charge extra for this in the same way that my local Hyundai dealership is adding $7000 to top spec Ioniq 5’s.
Note that the Ariya charges faster than a Tesla with a similar battery size! The reason is the Nissan has a flatter charging curve. Compared to Model 3 SR, Ariya charges at 61 kW at 80% compared to 43 kW for the Tesla. The low peak rate of the NIssan is not telling much in this case.
Do the canoo plz!!!
Ariya vs. Ioniq 5 vs. ID4/6 ?
It looks good. But to get AWD from the first batch of Ariyas you gotta pay $60k? For a Nissan? I hope that it gets cheaper AWD options as it ramps up production. Also, annoyed that they're taking away heated seats and steering wheel with the bigger battery or AWD.
It seems very nice. I think the base version not being too stripped down is fine. Nice review! To me it seems like this and Ioniq 5 are the two to beat in most cases for this price range.
Where do you get your information about Ariya's appearing on US dealer lots in October? I haven't heard of any Ariya reservation holder hearing anything other than "by the end of the year."
From Nissan.
I’ve saw 2 in Asheville one was a gold one and the other green or blue color
Had dealer tags so there out there least dealer got some apparently
Question why did they make the trims so confusing
A demo of Pro Pilot 2.0 would have been helpful. You run through a lot of stats very quickly including “Cools the battery using the air conditioning system up front”. I don’t think that’s correct. According to Nissans website since the beginning: Lithium-Ion Battery w/ liquid cooling. And the ioniq may have the ability to charge twice as fast but where?!? Tennessee has zero chargers at 350kw. PlugShare is showing only 4 350kw chargers in the southeast and they are all in Florida. The devil is in the details!
Re: battery cooling - I don't think that those are mutually exclusive. I think it just means that it uses the same radiator and heat pump to dump heat to the outside from both the cabin and the battery (and probably also motor, inverter, etc...) just with valves and pumps directing circulation to a fluid loop for the battery pack, and another circuit for the passenger air, etc... Certainly Tesla has had systems like that for years. Other vehicles have separate systems. And for those you wouldn't say that they're using the air conditioner for battery cooling, but for something like this, I think it's appropriate.
This car may have what it takes to save Nissan. Only issue is it’s grossly overpriced.
Does anybody know how tall this guy is? Trying to get a bit of perspective for the vehicle height and back seat headroom
I think he once said he is 6 feet tall.
Since my wife and I are tax credit-eligible, anything that isn't is a non-starter. Since we also want AWD, it seems like we can get whatever we want as long as it's an id.4!
I’m waiting to see what the Chevy equinox EV is like. It looks promising. I’m pretty sure it will get the full rebate. But it’s at least a year away for the first one that is available.
Test drove the id.4, twice, interior and quality the Ariya is way ahead
@@phileasler5401 I have only sat in them but I think you are right on. The Ariya feels like a class up.
I have a $500 deposit on a Venture+ model. So you're telling me I'm paying about 4 grand more for the extended battery Venture+ model over the base model but then lose a ton of features? Ridiculous! Nissan never told us that. Between that and the government rebate mess because it's made in Japan I'm going to cancel my order! Not cool, Nissan.
I don't think there is enough criticism towards the charging speed, especially at the price point the Ariya is being sold at. Any EV that charges under 200kW and that is priced above $40,000 is not competitive.
11:00 I can’t unsee the dash panel gaps above the glove box and center console “box”. Please tell me this is a pre-production sample. 🤔🤔😢
3:55 "The Mach E looks like a regular Mustang that got stung by a bee". In other videos, he said, "The Model Y looks like a pregnant Model 3".
ONLY FROM THE AMAZING MIND OF ALEX!
The problems wit many SUVs is that they look like a coupe likes VW ID4/5 GLX and there i not much space in the boot for different things.This the wrong way to go.I would like them more straight in the rear end !
I rather have a Ariya, than a ipad on 4 wheels.
Honda please hurry
20kw AC option, at least in Europe.
22kW*
So for this amount of money ,there is no fast charging??
21:31
Nissan should have replaced the Leaf charger to CCS standard, don't understand what they are thinking.
They are thinking it’s cheaper to use the same part everywhere LOL
It can trace it's leneage back to Leaf, espacially it mediocre level 3 charging spread.
Usually love your videos BUT the most important spec is range imao and second charging speed...estimates for range are a bit worthless, we all can do the average math.. EPA range at the time of the review needed imao..
Looks like a Model-Y but one designed and built by a real car company. Nice! Probably a car to save Nissan as a brand. You said Lexus, but more like Infinity?
Except it's way over priced. Chevy equinox gonna crush it.
ID.4 am I a joke?
Alex, I like how you try to put a zinger against the Mach-E at nearly every opportunity. Did they not invite you to a press event or something? I like that the Mach-E has one pedal driving and auto hold unlike the Nissan. Having this ability make not having it a non-starter.
Not sure what you mean? Reviews are nothing without comparisons. I owned a Mach E ane we loved it so much we intended to keep it for 6 months but owned it a full year. Simply stating the differing pros and cons is not being negative, it's just being real.
@@EVBuyersGuide you never say demerits that are big items on the Ionic 5 or EV6 such as lack of wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.
I mention the right back seat in the EV6, smaller cargo area and slower acceleration in the base model at least twice in this video. Wireless CP/AA is something I never ever use because the charging speed via the charge mats is too slow and can make some phones overheat. Wireless CP is an answer in search of a question 😉
Taking away standard features as you go up in trim levels or adding motors and battery capacity is going to turn off a lot of people who are paying attention. A lot of Nissan buyers are not the most intelligent, so Nissan’s profit extraction plan will work.
Oh look . Another car we will not be able to buy. Except for Tesla, it’s over a year wait and 20% dealer mark up for any of these EVs. I would like to see reviews of cars that you can actually buy and at the price they advertise. Otherwise I might as well be watching a review of a star cruiser from Star Wars.
Nope, my venture + will be less then a year and will be at msrp. Not everyone wants a Tesla
@@phileasler5401 congratulations, you are one of the few. I don’t want a Tesla, so I guess we have to wait here in California for a few years. Hopefully some manufacturer will step forward and make the cars they promise.
@@jeffmelodia2077 oh, probably a majority
Nissan Ariya is shorter then Ioniq5 but not according to your diagram ?!? 😖
I drove the Ariya for 3 hours. Ended up buying something else. The Ariya is not pretty in real life and there is a lot of cheap & waxy plastic on the interior. Was a big turnoff and felt like a 40k car with 40k of batteries under it. I really wanted to like the Ariya but that never happened.
no frunk is a non starter lol
Who knows, by next month maybe the Tesla board will have fired Elon Musk after he again decides not to buy twitter, and has the judge sell all his stock to fulfill his obligations.
This does not look like $50k+
Front wheel drive electric vehicles are NOT superior to rear wheel drive EVs in snow/rain. ICE front wheel drive cars are better in the snow because the heavy engine presses the tires into the ground for better traction. There is not a heavy ICE in an EV. The weight is better distributed. FWD EV has motor in front and RWD EV has motor in back. No difference.
Sorry I’m with Alex, I think fwd is superior, that’s why we don’t have just one manufacturer
weight is not the only reason. The difference between pulling the car and pushing the car also makes a difference
No one pedal driving at this price point shows Nissan is super out of touch.
still would rather have the model y. It's better in every category.
Tesla 20%off kills all ev for sure
What an abysmal engineering effort by Nissan. Wow. The Koreans committed to their specs a year ago and the Nissan's still fall short.
Your review is beginning to sound like a car salesman..
I have mixed feelings. The lack of more storage is sad and those haptic climate buttons... Gonna be fumbling for those while driving I bet... 🫣 But we have a 2016 Leaf and it's been incredibly reliable and comfortable. That infotainment looks outdated too. 🤦♂️ Something that really bothers me as a designer. So I'm really curious to see it and drive it myself. The Chevy Equinox is also very intriguing (and we own a Bolt too.) We'll see!
Why are you people considering a vehicle they can't even produce??? What about maintenance & parts availability??? What more demacrap lies???
What are you blathering on about? They have been produced and are already showing up on dealer lots.
They haven't released it because the piece of shit is like a demacrap!!! It says it works but try & get somewhere with everything you need. Remember, they test a brand new EMPTY car with nothing but a driver & camera's. I can't find anyone who wants to show off their electric car after using the damned thing!!! Ashamed at being lied to again by the manufacturer???? Slow charger?? Have to go somewhere now?? A gas car recharges in minutes!! Not hours!!
