The biggest issue with the Ariya has always been the price. It's not good next to the competition at $50k-$60k, but at $250 a month, it's not competing with those cars anymore, and suddenly it's awesome.
False economy. At the end of the lease period, you own nothing.
@@ChickensAndGardening But that's why people lease instead of own. I paid $65k cash for my car, but if I took a loan, I'd be paying $1300 per month for 5 years. $250 a month for 5 years with no down payment is only $15,000. That's a great deal to drive a modern EV.
@@ChickensAndGardening The Ariya lease is 18 months. $250 a month equals to $4500. Find me a better deal where I pay full price for a new car and have a depreciation of $4500 for the first 18 months. Remember a car is a depreciating asset. You normally do not make money out of it, so owning a car at the end of the lease should only compare to the residual value of the car.
NissanAriya is a premium brand with lots of luxury features not found in Model Y. It should be branded as an Infiniti Ariya. It’s a hoot to drive. It’s so buttersmooth drive.
@@marketbuy Nissan ain't no premium brand. Neither is Tesla. Both make mass market cars.
"Engage" is the base model. She has the "Engage + E Force" not the base model but two up. It has 2 motors and has the upgrade paint and the bigger battery and and and.....
You can set the "E" pedal to be on all the time in the settings.That's what I did.
It does battery preconditioning it is in the settings.
Tell your friend she can save her estep mode in the settings so it will always stay in the same mode you leave it in. The default setting just has estep off every time you start the car.
She seems really confused about what regenerative breaking is, believing it's the same as "one-pedal-drive". Most EVs have both "D-mode" and "B-mode" except Teslas which only have "B-mode". I assume the Aria just defaults to "D-mode" or whatever Nissan calls it.
The driver profiles are very robust. They let you set all sorts of stuff. One other thing they seemed to miss is battery preconditioning. It can precondition for charging, it just has a cryptic menu to find it with cooling and heating in different places and it must be manually engaged each time. There is no route-based battery preconditioning.
@@virtual-viking Yeah same with other cars, Like the Volt has the shifter go to Drive for no one pedal driving and Low for one pedal. The braking is still regenerative in any drive mode and only engages the friction brakes when the battery is topped off or at the bottom of pedal travel when regenerating for panic stops. My friend got freaked out when I was driving around in Low the whole time for the one pedal driving since he wasn't used to EVs. GM really dropped the ball when they didn't develop the Voltec system, Toyota is cleaning up right now leveraging their limited batteries through their whole range of vehicles in stead of just a few full BEVs.
I love the description of the "boom room" action at the dealership. Some things never change...you are hungry, almost fed up and they have one last offer to take to their manager...classic. 🤣🤣 Some things never change. Lacey is great, here's to hoping her EV journey is a happy one.
There is nothing like watching the excitement of person getting their first EV. It was also cool seeing Kyle's excitement about her new EV as well. He tried to tamp it down but it was there. Good one Kyle. All the best.
She is one hell of an ambassador for Nissan EV!
Was sceptical at first. She chose the right car for her. $250 a month for 12,000 miles a year and no gas!!
The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is $198 a month for 10,000 miles with way more range. EV leases are getting way better
Good discussion on points about a lease that are negotiable. Viewers, take note!
When u walk in the door always remember u CAN walk out without signing sht
250 a month for an AWD EV can't be beat by much! Congratulations
How about 158 EUR for an Enyaq? 😇
@@abraxastulammo9940how are you getting to that insanely low price?
@@user-ru2he7tm2t state EV incentives
@@user-ru2he7tm2t Checked leasing deals at Leasingmarkt or null leasing german sites online for a time when the base Enyaq was going out of production with the lucky constellation that state and manufacturer incentives could be used for 2 years of leasing and not be spread over the vehicle lifetime.
Recently there were other good deals (without state incentives) like Cupra Born just shy of 200 EUR per month. 😊
Because nobody is buying it. 🗑️
More Lacey pls! :)
Those Colorado incentives are amazing!
The aria is a beautifully styled car. Saw one on the road. Couldn’t stop staring
Bruh
Nissan has beautiful cars.
Especially in that copper colour -- beautiful! 🤩
Yea it's grown on me the more that I've seen them around my city
The screens on the Aryia are not obtrusive as they are on other EVs.
She has awesome screen presence- you should hire her for one of your channels!!!
I agree she is great. Lots better than max or Ryan
I live in Florida. I wouldn’t be surprised if the started taxing EV purchases and give it to the oil companies because climate change is a hoax!
I think Francie would love to have her on a podcast. Maybe Francie and Lacey could do a VinFast VF8 and Nissan Ariya road trip comparison or even a challenge? Maybe they can choose another Out of Spec team member that could be their co-navigators as well?
She gives me a really dumb impression, she could not a swer Any questions. She admits doing things because she was told to do.
@@menotyou1234 But Kyle is asking her questions only EV nerds care about. What was the charging rate she was getting? Who cares. The real result is she was able to charge for 15 minutes to 80%. I’m sure she knows if the rate is in the single digits then that’s bad. If EVs are to stand a chance, it’s these types of people that need to want to buy one. Not the nerds.
Nissan cars are built tight. My 2011 Nissan Leaf still has no rattles or squeaks. I'm holding out for an Aptera as my next EV.
Leafs are well built, sure. So are a few of their other niche models.
Anyone who’s had the misfortune of a 50,000mi rental Altima, Sentra, or Versa knows they’re at their end of life. Nissan got bought by Renault in 2002 and their bread & butter cars have been used to make money on subprime lending ever since. See also Mitsubishi.
She killed it on the incentive and no payments for months. . I hope NC step it up so i can splurge on the EV i want..
I hope so too!
Free money! Gimme gimme! No consequences at all!
@@derbagger22 🤣🤣🥱
@@derbagger22
It's not "FREE" money.. It comes from the taxpayers of Colorado.. Eventually somewhere The State has to make that money, from taxes or other sources.
@@kens97sto171 I'll assume you already knew I knew that.
I'm all for EV diversity 😇
Exactly so against monopolies
Oh no dei
I’m for diversity of all-EV companies. Buying an EV that the ICE car company loses money on and has to sell a bunch of ICE cars to make back the money doesn’t seem to be helping the EV transition much.
The Arya is a DEI hire. 😂
@@juliahello6673exactly. Nissan is desperate.
This young lady has personality PLUS. Get her on staff!. Great video.
Congatulation on your Nissan Ariya. You made intelligent choices over other EVs such as Tesla Y, ID4, Kia, or Hyundai. Ariya is made with a new high-tech assembly plant in Japan. I test-drove it a year ago; I loved it. I love the exterior and interior designs, and your monthly lease payment is fantastic. During your lease, contact years to come, enjoy Ariya, and have a wonderful time. PS: You've made an intelligent decision to lease EVs. All EVs are not worth owning due to the early phase of battery technology. I lease a German EV now. But Ariya is great adorable quality made EV!
Nicely done, that's a great deal she landed! That's a helluva lot of standard features for a "base" trim. 280 miles of EPA range is fine. I think it charges at like 135kW max but should have a decent charge curve for road trips. Kyle's right, at $250/mo that's basically a free car for most people with home charging. If Lacey can get her daily charging done at her bf's garage or around town, she's golden.
$250/month isn't all that much more than gasoline for an ICE car, so if she's charging for free, the car is pretty close to free.
All Ariyas equipped with ProPilot 2.0 (changes from green to blue icons which signify hands free driving) have two fins on the top of the car. One fin means the Ariya has just lane keeping/distance keeping (green) which requires hands on the wheel. ProPilot 2.0 activates on its own when it travels 9n highways that have been pre-mapped. Using ProPilot at night changes the ambient light along the dashboard from green to blue, which is really lovely.
Damn right she did, I love my Ariya
Ironically I saw my first ever Ariya yesterday, I was driving past the local Chevy dealer and they had SEVERAL ELECTRIC CARS IN STOCK FOR SALE!!!!!! First time ever I have seen an EV on a lot in Ohio that was not already sold! OF course they were Blazer EVs, so they were VASTLY overpriced (unlike Bolts which were so inexpensive they flew off the lot like they were repelled by gravity instead of attracted) so they will probably hang around a while with interest rates high again. While I was looking at them (man these Blazers are FAT. And a big dumb clunky annoying console clogging up the middle of the car. And ugly dashboard like a Camaro) someone drove in with an Ariya. There was also a Hummer EV (the dealers personal car). And of course my Bolt (which seems to have way better headroom and legroom than the Blazer too). It was EV day at the Chevy dealer!
Right now you can lease a Hyundai IONIQ 5 SEL, Duel Motor for, $199.00 per month with "NO MONEY DOWN" in Colorado. I have a close friend who works for Hyundai in the field. He texted me about this amazing lease. It's the real deal. The lease is 36 months and 12K a year. All I can say is WOW! If you are in the market check it out. The IONIQ 5 has received a lot of awards including Edmunds best EV SUV on the market. Cheers!!!
How is the lease 12k a year if it's $199/mo?
@@Graham_Wideman12k miles per year
I spend more than $200 a month in gas. These kind of deals are non existant in Canada. We always get screwed here.
Solid choice! ✌️
No negative remarks about this model.
Coming from a Tesla nerd.
As a Tesla nerd too, I wish my Model Y had the "D-mode" of the Ariya at least as an option, instead of the mandatory "B-mode"/one-pedal-drive.
I felt like they could have made this an Infiniti brand it was such good build quality, as good as my G35 back in the day.
It may have been a "trial balloon." The sales have been poor, but I don't know how many Arias were actually made so far.
BEV makes more sense as a Luxury car with the high battery cost. I'm sure more luxury buyers are willing to pay the price for an EV than non-lux. Prices are coming down but still a premium over gas. Low end EVs like the Bolt are everything most people need but not what people want.
Trade in Matt and Jordan for Lacey!
the Nissan Ariya looks like a winner..beats down the Toyota Ev's
Toyota isn't trying. They are fine with leading the world in hybrid technology.
Reviewers have hated on Nissan and Toyota EV. Interesting to see a non-reviewerrs POV
Exactly..
It sucks...as a EV for the price, but at that price point its not bad
Reviewers loved the Ariya, just not the price. The market has adjusted the price since then.
Well the reviews had the top one at 61000 model . They including Kyle didn’t mention the lower prices and Alyssa mostly trumpets what he says .
How is "Out of spec. reviews" not a reviewer..?
I leased a new '24 Nissan Leaf SV Plus (WITH regenerative braking and one-pedal driving with 226 mile range) for $280 a month and only $1K down (36 months). I'm totally happy with it. Surprising that you didn't even consider that. My dealer had about 20 Leafs on the lot.
Lack of CCS is a dealbreaker to many, makes it very hard to roadtrip, would choose a Bolt over a Leaf for that reason alone.
@@swecreations I understand. My daily driving situation is probably different. I never "road trip" and have Level 2 charging at home. I've driven a Bolt and find the seats uncomfortable while the Leaf's are really nice. Quiet, smooth drive. An almost perfect car for me so far. Thanks for the comment.
@@tkusterb
If Nissan had chosen CCS for the Leaf, they could just keep on manufacturing them to maintain a presence in the lower price segment.
@@marcg1686 Well, they do keep manufacturing them and I see them all over the place so there's "a presence in the lower price segment" right there. Seems like a popular EV to me. And they have always had the 1772 Level 2 connector which is what everyone (non-Tesla) uses for faster at-home charging. I have never had the need for fast(er) ChAdeMo charging, even though several EVgo stations near me feature that method. And for a good $10K less than the Ariya (to buy), it's silly to overlook this wonderful, practical daily driver.
@@tkusterb Interesting. Greetings from Not America, Germany actually.
European production in Sunderland ceased in March. A great shame.
I'm very happy with my 40kWh Leaf. It's reasonably efficient and a joy to drive in winter. The cabin preheating works really well. The single biggest problem is Chademo. Increasingly, charge point operators are ditching it when upgrading their equipment. A handful of Nissan dealerships have ABB triple chargers that more often than not are down.
I can charge for free at work. I have a CT200h for the weekends.
If only Nissan had seen the light...
Lacey has great screen presents. Have her on in the future. Bring her to EV shows.
When I leased my first EV in 2023, it came down to an Ariya and an ID.4. Got a much better deal on an ID.4 and went with the VW. I’m very happy with it! I like the style of both.
Exactly the with us. The Ariya and ID.4 were the cars we considered, ended up with the ID.4 since it was way cheaper than the Ariya.
Do you use the regenerative braking with the ID.4?
@@FunHog69 yes, I keep the B drive (regenerative braking) on every time I drive. It does not stop the ID.4 completely though. It slows it down to about 2-3 mph, but not zero. Still works.
Has the ID4 got their computer issues resolved?
@@ronniemullis8717 I haven’t had any issues with mine and I have version 3.5. In some of the online ID.4 forms I occasionally see a comment about some having issues, but with updates on older versions I think most have been eliminated.
I must agree with you!! A friend of mine has an Ariya. He has none of the leaking problems and he finds it a doddle to drive around.
"Doddle" is a Britishism?
Really enjoyed this 2 person discussion format, maybe something you could use for more / real reviews.
I’ve really liked the Ariya since it came out, but Kyle’s original review about it really made me question it. Very interesting seeing him give it another go and finding it better than he maybe remembered. Looking forward to further appearances of it in videos.
Thanks! Really great meeting Lacey. Wonderful story of your meeting Kyle and the team, your advocacy, converting to BEV, and choosing a unique one of your own. Fun driving too… especially finding out you have lane centering, a comfortable ride, and handling that only Kyle can demonstrate with fun (He’d have scared me too 😮) BTW, Ariya’s styling is my favourite non-Tesla. I hope you convert your friends to driving BEVs too. Lotsa love to all ❤❤❤
Fantasitc deal for her.. And the car looks really nice. I think you should include her in some more videos when you do stuff with the car. She did great on camera.
When I was looking around for a 4 door hatch EV to replace my 3 year old Mini Cooper S E I test drove the Ariya, the Fisker Ocean, Subaru Solterra, BMW iX1 M20 and Mach E. I really really liked the Ocean but Fisker’s financial woes put me off going with it. Here in the UK there are some really good lease deals on Ariya, Solterra (and BZ4X). I ended up with none of them and took delivery direct off the dealers forecourt of what was supposed to be their demonstrator new U25 Mini Countryman S E Sport L3 Electric. Been driving it for 3 weeks now and loving it. Loved my Cooper S E but this is another level with the great Mini handling but 5 usable seats , a huge boot/trunk, slightly less firm suspension but not boat style, than the Cooper and a 64.9kWh useable battery with claimed 260 miles range.
I would have gone down the Ariya route too had the Mini dealership and BMW UK not offered me a great deal on my Cooper S E Level 3 (which was sold to s new owner 3 hours after I left the dealer the car and keys!). With so much range and battery capacity I can now leave my 2023 Defender 90 D250 at home and do decent length road trips in an EV.
I've been very excited about the ariya for a while idk people have been against them
I always thought you were overly harsh in your first review. I love my Ariya and it fits my needs perfectly. Admittedly I don’t really need to fast charge it much as I have L2 at home and we take our gas car on trips. I’m glad you liked this one better.
A bit of misinformation in the beginning. The Ariya DOES have regenerative braking. What it doesn't have is ePedal, it has eStep. The only difference between the two is that with ePedal, the car utilizes the braking system until it comes to a complete stop, and with eStep, it only uses the braking system down to about 6-8 mph, then the driver must apply the brakes manually to stop the car. The regenerative braking is the same on both. In other words, regen in any EV won't stop the car completely, it's the brakes that stop the car. At slow speeds, regen diminishes in any EV obviously because the wheels aren't turning enough to generate any power. All this said, I do with Nissan had given the Ariya ePedal. A huge mistake in my opinion.
I've had my Ariya for a year now and absolutely love it!!
Great to see her enthusiasm. That's another happy EV driver. I hope you take it on the Hogback Challenge. 🙂👍
Thank you Kyle for being the example of an extraordinary friend, scholar AND gentlemen! The humility to admit the Ariya was better than expected and showing Lacey what she didn't know about its capabilities.
(I do hope she didn't turn down you blessing her with 3k. HUGE points for your integrity, that's a rare quality ESPECIALLY when money is involved.)
You can do autocharge+ with evgo
Met Lacey through the Colorado Springs EV Club. Sorry I missed seeing the Ariya when she brought it down the other week--it was rainy and I was leaving the car show early to check in with family. I hope she brings it to this month's show!
Great video Kyle. Her car has pro pilot. The blue Sybol on the steering wheel on the right is pro pilot. She has a great personality.
I like the aryia too. It is hard to decide . They have engage , evolve venture and platinum. Her car has autocharge plus you can help her set it up in the app. Another video opportunity. Enjoy laycee
Great choice!! We got ours last November and loving it!
I bought a solterra even though you advised against it and I love it 15k miles in it’s a great vehicle just fyi
Please tell Lacey that there is a setting to make E-Step "stick" so that she does not need to turn it on every time. You can't make the drive mode (ECO/STandard/Sport) stick. Source: I have an Ariya. Also, I have the even lower trim (regular Engage) and yes, these low spec versions are so nice and they have ProPilot, just not the 2.0 version.
People _really_ need to start grasping that "no one pedal drive" does _not_ mean that the car doesn't have regenerative braking. They just do it through the brake pedal or when decelerating with ACC. (I think it's only Tesla that doesn't have regenerative braking through the brake pedal.)
Yeah, folks refuse to understand blended brakes and think if they aren’t using the paddles for regen it’s not happening. 😮 I tell people in my Clarity PHEV group all the time to look at the power meter while braking. It uses max regen all the time (when the battery can accept it). They argue with me. 😂
yeah. I don't even use one pedal driving on my tesla, I don't like the car to start braking whenever I take my feet off the accelerator. But it's still doing regenerative braking.
@@monkeyrun then dont take your foot off.
what happens is you use your physical brakes more when you go 'ooops i had to slow more than i thought'
the best is single pedal and flipper on the wheel for 'extra regen' rather than having to move your feet.
@@monkeyrunAs far as I'm aware it's normally not possible to disable one-pedal-drive in a Tesla. And it's completely impossible to enable the blended brake/"D-mode" that most other EVs use, so I'm curious what you mean by "don't even use".
@@virtual-vikingyou absolutely can disable one-pedal-driving in Teslas. It's in the "Pedals & Stearing" settings. Just choose "Rolling" mode and it will disable one-pedal-driving.
I'm not sure it's still the same, but long time ago, when I still experimented with it, the car still applied regen when I pressed the break pedal while using "Rolling" mode.
Now I remember why I loved Colorado when I moved there in ‘87….. this girl is a KEEPER!
In my area the bz4x and ariya were not very popular. The bz4x lease is down to 169, all of a sudden they are everywhere. I’ve seen quite a few ariyas in the past weeks. The leasing maybe the best way to introduce EVs.
More videos like this ! Super cool to see real folks sharing their EV experiences and goals. But how can you subscribe to the OOS rental fleet if you aren’t friends and family ??
Ariya looks like a really well put together car, quality materials.
The lack of one pedal driving is baffling considering Nissan were the first to do it!
seriously? No one pedal driving?? Deal breaker for me.
@@randomcheese1719
Until you drive the Ariya, it’s head above shoulders against all EVs in this price range. Drives much nicer than Model Y by far!
@@marketbuy it does look good I’ll say that.
@@randomcheese1719
I have the 2023 Ariya Evolve+ with the 87kwh battery. Currently, I have almost 17K miles on the odometer. Here in SoCal, I get on average 310-340 miles of range with 95% charge. This car drives buttersmooth and extremely quiet cabin. Ariya is the only EV in this price range that has a panoramic moonroof that can open and close, PLUS it has an electric sunshade cover. 😎
@@marketbuy it's nice, no doubt. I have a mach-e and think whatever EV you get, you're gonna be happy.
Your videos are so engaging! (I had to press pause twice and click the emergency release to finish watching 😜.)
Arya has double pane window glass on all 4 windows - standard. Very underrated car...
But the Ariya has 6 windows.
This is not the base model Ariya. All wheel drive with the big battery is the Ariya engage + e-4orce which starts at $51,190. So for the dealer to lease her this model for $255 a month is a very good deal.
Bruh good host potential and super knowledgeable
I love the Ariya and I also considered it but stigma aside because you really get over that really soon now with the amount of Tesla's on the road.......I went with the Model Y because overall it's a much, much better vehicle for the money. So, not only does it have one of the best regen braking out there but it gets more range, included Autopilot, way more cargo space, Sentry mode, a larger and better infotainment systems and built in better access to the super charger network. And even though Nissan may eventually get access to Tesla's network (We'll have to see now that Tesla fired the Super Charger Team), Nissan won't get access to all the chargers. The Model Y was "my" obvious choice. Now you can get it for even cheaper than the Ariya with the tax credit. But she made the best choice for her and that's all that matters.
Yeah, her answer as to why she didn't get the model Y killed me. It reverberated a lot of what people used to say when a mass adoption of iPhone started years ago: "I love everything about it, I just wish it wasn't iphone/Tesla" (just because so many people around her don't like Musk?)
LOL. She literally deprived herself of a much better product she likes because she's worried those around her would not approve... Petty.
she actually low key fits her so well nice nissan
Cheaper lease than the monthly payment on a bolt i just picked up 😂 i wish i had all those incentives, WA will have a few more in a few months but i make too much to take advantage of them. The ariya looks beautiful, hopefully it works good for you. Hopefully the public charging isn't too much of an issue, it would be really inconvenient where i live.
I really like this design. The original price is way to high for the range though.
Fun review. Lacey is a great sport.
Would you still not recommend the bz4x even at the insane discount leases? Right now I got an option for 190 monthly and it seems like a bargain. Only referencing the fwd with 150kw speeds
The Ariya's main selling point is its interior which is much, much nicer than a Tesla. It's also a very comfortable car for long distance traveling. Good luck to Lacey!
I work for a Nissan dealership. We were selling Ariya's when they first came out. Now we have so many of them that have sat on the lot for a year- 2023 models obviously. They're actually really good cars. Great interior space/storage, nice driving, brisk power/acceleration. But they look lame and they're "Nissans" with high price tags, so no-one wants them, lol.
Lacey was great but I'd like to see her hold the steering wheel properly. Be ready for bad things to happen because they can happen when you least expect them. Love her enthusiasm for her new car. Looks great.
I just got the Nissan Ariya Platinum Plus top line. I really like it. But I've never seen those gauges on the driver screen. How do you get them pulled up? Thanks
You have to press the settings physical button on the steering wheel and a quick menu will pop up, then you select "change view", Ariya user here.
Can't wait for you out of spec guys to finally drive and review Chinese EVs, especially BYD, any idea when the Mexico factory is opening? Would love to see Kyle replace his Model 3 performance with a BYD Seal Performance. ;)
This is the best! Good deal, happy driver. Awesomeness all around!
The main thing about the Ariya is that it has a lot of standard features. However, Nissan is the most expensive manufacturer here in England!! The Ariya costs just under £50,000 for the basic car. Any extras cost much more.
What is the tax rate? For example, in Germany, the posted prices include 19% (!) sales tax.
The lease deals in the UK are pretty amazing for the Ayria and that is without an incentive at all. Less than £12k cost for 3 years for car that if bought expected to shed £24k over same time.
I have a Ariya Venture +, 304 epa miles and love it fwd👍
Believable user experience reviews are always great, Thanks
This trim does not have propilot 2 hands free. This has propilot 1.0 in it which needs hands on steering wheel. Propilot 2.0 is hands free, blue color mode. Propilot 1.0 is green mode
Seems like if you want to promote equitable transportation, you should promote either public transportation or union built evs.
It’s not about the incentives it’s about the benefits 😊
Absolutely fascinating……and kudos to you, Kyle, for assisting such a neophyte in navigating thru the electric auto maze. ⭐️
The Ariya won me over with its design. Hope Nissan fixes all the issues reviewers pointed out with future editions.
The ariya was the 2nd car I was looking at after the ev6 but the more I researched it the less enthusiastic I became. Not to mention that the only color that made the ariya standout to me was the copper color... In the end I'm so glad I got the ev6 though....
by the way, my lease is $230 and I live in L.A. and got my ev6 last year just 2 months before they decided to make it eligible for the tax credit....i think if I move on to another ev it will be for an updated ev6.... Did I mention the 10 yrs /100k mile warranty that Kia gives you? 😜... Anyhow, enjoy your ariya... All in all, I too will never go back to a gas car if I can help it...nor a tesla. 😄
Would you recommend to buy Frisker Ocean? They look very nice
That is so cool, we bought our 2020 Kia Soul EV limited, with not only the Canadian Federal Gov. EV rebate of $5,000, but also our $3,000 BC provincial rebate and to top it off BC's, Scrap it program $6,000 rebate similar to CO's . Totally awesome look forward to the range test. We still have the Kia, going strong with 100K KM, great run about, but also no 1 pedal driving but Kia paddle controls of regen works well! We did put about 60K KMs on long distance road trips, charging was not an issue as it did well enough to allow for eating & bathroom breaks.
Crap-it program now provides a $300 cash rebate or a limited month Translink pass... not so awesome now.
if your friend wont take the 3 grand in cold hard cash, then it can at least go into installing the lvl2 evse for her.
Great video and congratulations! However as a fellow Aryia e-4orce driver, I do get frustrated with people saying it is slow at low speed, it is not, the e-4orce tech keeps the ride level and reduces throwback giving the illusion of being "slow".
Exactly, Nissan explains it on a video.
Saw one of these and it looks really good on the road
She's so fancy now. 😉 I think the next big challenge for EVs is just getting a million level 2 or lower power DCFC chargers installed in places easily accessible by people who don't own their own garage.
That (1M lvl2 DCFC) sounds like a real game changer but I wouldn't hold your breath on that actually happening.
I struggle to think about using public level 2 charging only. I did it for a month or 2 and I limited my driving tremendously to make it work, but home charging is where it is at!
Not sure why I mix Nissan and bad credit in my mind. It's a beautiful car, Nissan did a great job.
I drove the 2024 nissan aryia evolve+ trim and there was b mode and e-pedal options. The b mode was less aggressive one pedal driving requiring me to use the brakes to come to a stop from higher speeds. The e-pedal option was aggressive one pedal driving that only required me to use the brake to come to a full stop once the car had slowed to a slowly creeping speed. I was told the reason e-pedal was designed this way was to ensure brake calipers are lightly used on a regular basis so they don't seize up from lack of use. Something they had issues with on nissan leaf's that have full stop one pedal driving design.
I have the UK top spec except for 4WD. It does have battery preconditioning but it’s a manual setting every time you use it, hidden deep in the menus.
I like any EV that isn't a Tesla, given the very instability of their CEO and poor decisions as of recent. Happy to see Lacey get such a deal on the Ariya on such a screaming deal.
Yep. Stop rewarding bad behavior and maybe we will see a return to morals.
I got my Nissian Arya Evolve + e-4force (AWD 87 kWh battery) for 39k. Jumped on that soo fast. Been loving it since.
Kyle's got a lot of experience with EVs but also the deep pockets to afford the nice ones
Don’t worry about his pockets. He is WORKING HIS ASS off in RUclips past few years. Also he has a very supporting family who I’m sure help out and gave him lessons on how to manage his money
In fact, no one has hated the Arya or BX4. Most reviewers have liked their comfort, their driving dynamics, accommodations, and so on. In fact, like all EV's, they are better than ICE vehicles in almost every way! The reason they hate them is that as far as EV range and charging speed (the biggest concern most EV drivers have), they are, quite frankly, ridiculously bad. To add insult to injury, they are also expensive! However, if all your needs are met by their short driving range and you can plug them in at home every night, they are quite nice. If you live in one of those Florida retirement communities boy, they sure make for the nicest golf carts around! Unfortunately for the average buyer, choosing a car is all about the design, the color and a brand name that they can recognize as a "good car".
Bz4x is straight trash
You went way overboard in your negative comments
@markfitzpatrick6692 In fact, I went way over on the positive ones!
You can make the eStep feature automatically. See the handbook for details
You could've looked into a 2023 Bolt EUV. Many dealers still have them in stock and there are excellent deals on them. I own one since Jan 2023 and it is an amazing EV. My premier trim came with everything including front ventilated seats that even our 2023 Model 3 and Y don't have. It's a perfect-sized city vehicle; gives 4.2+ miles/kwh with real-world driving range exceeding the advertised range of 247 miles by almost 40-50 miles. With a 200hp engine producing 266 lb.ft of torque, it is quick enough to see most of the cars in the rearview mirror (which also serves as a digital rearview mirror, another option not provided by Tesla) launching from a red light. You can get a premier trim with $7500 tax credit for less than 25k.
I got rid of my Nissan leaf for a model 3 with tons of negative equity in the leaf and I got the new model 3 for 400 a month with all the same credits she used. Congrats on your aryia
You made a smart move.
@@aussie2uGA oh I agree so much better freaking love it and this gal could have gotten a 3 or y lease for basically the same with the program she used. So little surprised but glad she’s happy with what she got
That salesman must of been really good. I bet he had a nice smile and the sales talk. That’s why she got that car and good monthly lease agreement. I would never ever buy a 50k car
Wow, love the color of it :o
I also like that transparent leather effect on the heating settings. The Kia EV6 has them too, if I’m not mistaken. Anyone knows if there is some aftermarket tape or something one can use to make the same effect in an Ioniq 6 ?
(Ah you got me at the “Dunlop” “Mr Bean” thing 😂)
So, with all the incentives Colorado has, and your Kia dealership sponsor who will ship to anywhere in the lower 48, can an out of state resident get most of them? Or would it basically be just the $7500? Could we get the old and high emitting trade-in ones, etc?
Even at base trim, it comes with a good number of features offered as standard I am glad they finally started pushing incentives on these as it's a great car IMO, hope they increase the battery size in the next models
