Pros
- Comfortable and composed on the road
- Modern-looking interior design
- Comes standard with many advanced driver aids
Cons
- No true one-pedal driving
- Slower-than-average DC fast-charging rate
- Outdated infotainment graphics
- Storage space for small items is lacking
What's new
- Nissan simplifies the Ariya lineup, now with four trim levels
- Dark-tinted rear glass is standard
- Every trim level has wireless smartphone charging
- Part of the first Ariya generation introduced for 2023
Overview
Nissan led the automotive industry with the original Leaf electric car, which offered a reasonable driving range at a reasonable price. It took the company more than a decade to issue a follow-up, and when the Nissan Ariya arrived in 2023, it rolled into a crowd of similarly sized electric SUVs instead of setting new standards. Nevertheless, the Ariya has an appealing design, a modern and comfortable interior, and a smooth and quiet ride. The driving range meets expectations, and the Ariya is quick if not fast. What's missing is a compelling reason to choose this Nissan over its rivals.

Edmunds spotlight: How long does it take to charge a Nissan Ariya?
It takes longer to charge a Nissan Ariya than many other electric SUVs. According to Nissan, fully recharging the long-range battery takes 14 hours when using a 240-volt home charging station. At an appropriate public fast-charging station, Nissan says it will take about 40 minutes to get the battery charged from 10% to 80% capacity. That's certainly decent, but the rival Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 can potentially charge more quickly.
Competitors to consider
Numerous automakers are selling electric SUVs that compete with the Ariya. Our favorite models are the Chevrolet Equinox EV, Ford Mustang Mach-E and Hyundai Ioniq 5. Even the Subaru Solterra and Toyota bZ4X twins, which fall short regarding range, earn higher marks from our testing team. But if you're set on getting the Nissan, read our full Expert Rating to understand why we're underwhelmed.

Rated for you by America's best test team.Performance
7/10
How does the ARIYA drive? We tested the Ariya Platinum+ with the dual-motor powertrain. At the Edmunds test track, it sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds. That's certainly quick and makes passing and getting up to speed on a highway entrance ramp an easy affair. Still, the head-snapping acceleration provided by some other EVs is missing, and it seems like Nissan tuned the Ariya to provide a smooth, more progressive acceleration feel.
The Ariya isn't sporty. It leans noticeably when you drive it quickly around corners and noses forward in panic-stop situations. Our test Ariya's stopping distances from 60 mph were acceptable, but the vehicle noticeably shimmied and wiggled, reducing our driver's confidence.
Nissan also made a strange decision with the Ariya's regenerative brakes. It has a mode that slows the car down with regenerative braking when you lift off the accelerator pedal. But unlike many other EVs, it's not a full one-pedal driving mode because the regen suddenly tapers off around 5-7 mph and keeps the SUV rolling forward. Because of this, you end up having to stop the Ariya with the brake pedal. A true one-pedal experience, even as an optional mode, would be a welcome addition.

Comfort
8.5/10
How comfortable is the ARIYA? The Ariya's front and rear seats are comfortable and offer plenty of support. We also like the Ariya's ride quality. It's smooth even on broken pavement, and there's just enough resistance in the suspension to keep the Ariya from feeling too floaty on the road. On the highway, the Ariya is also very quiet.
The climate control system cools and heats the cabin quickly, even in Eco mode. It's also neat that you can turn off different climate zones to help reduce energy use. Our one quibble is that the controls for the front seat heating and cooling are inconveniently located on the touchscreen rather than in easier-to-use physical buttons.

Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? It's unlike any other Nissan interior and, yes, we mean that as a compliment. Touch-sensitive controls line the dashboard and the center console. This would usually be a big downside, but they actually look good and are relatively easy to use because they respond quickly to your touch and make a subtle vibration that indicates activation. The touchscreen is also within close reach of the driver's seat, and the placement of all of the controls up front is well thought out.
Though the Ariya has a higher floor than other electric SUVs like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, it's pretty easy to get in and out. Various seat adjustments should allow most drivers to find a comfortable driving position. Our test vehicle also had power adjustments for the steering wheel, which is a nice touch for this class. The Ariya offers lots of legroom front and rear, but headroom for the back seat is not quite as expansive as you'll find in the Tesla Model Y or Ioniq 5. Even when equipped with the panoramic glass roof, it doesn't feel as airy or open as those vehicles.

Technology
6.5/10
How’s the tech? Contrary to the Ariya's modern interior design, the technology features are a big disappointment. The matching 12.3-inch screens for the instrument cluster and the infotainment are large enough by today's standards, but the software powering them feels dated. On top of that, finding what you want in the Ariya's various on-screen menus is difficult and unintuitive. Wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay is standard, but Android Auto works through a wired connection only. The Ariya's voice controls are also hard to figure out, and entering a navigation destination that way is an exercise in frustration.
The Ariya features Nissan's ProPilot 2.0 system that allows for hands-free driving on mapped highways in certain conditions, and it does a good job of slowing and accelerating smoothly while keeping the Ariya well centered in its lane. But if you find yourself in a scenario where you're not on a mapped highway or, for whatever reason, the hands-free mode deactivates, the regular adaptive cruise control is a constant annoyance. It does a poor job of detecting when your hands are on the wheel, and you end up having to shake the wheel for it to realize that your hands are indeed there. The shaking required is enough to defeat the lane keeping system and actively swerve the vehicle. Other cars' systems are much less intrusive.
And in another strange choice (that's becoming a theme with the Ariya), the blind-spot warnings are shown in the head-up display only when adaptive cruise control is activated. That means if you're driving on the street or if you're driving on the highway without adaptive cruise on, you lose out on those warnings in the head-up display.

Storage
7/10
How’s the storage? The cargo area behind the rear seat measures 27.9 cubic feet and that expands to 59.7 cubic feet with the seats folded, figures that put it a little bit behind the roomiest members of this class. But it's plenty of room to fit groceries and even luggage for longer trips.
However, the Ariya is lacking in storage space for small personal items. The components for the motorized center console make the storage bin so small that it's really only good for a tin of mints. Nissan does include a fold-out storage bin that swings out from under the screen. It's a cool feature, but it takes a long time to open and you have to hold down the button the whole time to get it to fold out. And even that space isn't that big. There's nowhere in this vehicle to put a purse or a bag, and you can't put one on the floor because the open flat space between the front seats means it could roll around and present a safety issue.

Range and Efficiency
7.5/10
How are the range and efficiency? The EPA estimates that an Ariya has the most range with the large battery pack and single motor with 289 miles on a single charge. Our dual-motor test vehicle had a lower 257-mile estimate. We ran it on our standardized real-world range test, and we managed a slightly better 265 miles. This is an average distance for a small dual-motor electric SUV.
We also measured its efficiency, finding that our test vehicle used 36.3 kWh of electricity for every 100 miles driven. Other dual-motor EVs we've tested, such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Ford Mustang Mach-E and Volkswagen ID.4, were all more efficient than the Ariya. When it's time to charge at a public DC fast-charging station, Nissan says the Ariya can charge up to a rate of 130 kW, going from 20% to 80% capacity in 40 minutes with the extended-range battery. That's decent, but other EVs are generally a little quicker to charge.

Value
7/10
Is the ARIYA a good value? The Ariya's value proposition is decent as a base model but gets steadily worse in the more expensive trim levels. A loaded-up Ariya is a bit of a hard sell considering many other EVs in the same range simply do it better.
For most of the Ariya's components, it has the same warranty as other Nissan vehicles: three years/36,000 miles for bumper-to-bumper and five years/60,000 miles for the powertrain. The automaker covers the battery for eight years/100,000 miles, the same as other EVs.

Wildcard
6.5/10
We had high hopes for the Ariya. Nissan's Leaf was a pioneer of affordable EVs, and you'd think the company's expertise would set the Ariya up for success. Alas, this EV comes across as underdeveloped and even a bit dull. It's not particularly enjoyable to drive, and even the styling is a bit run-of-the-mill.
Which ARIYA does Edmunds recommend?
In the 2025 Ariya lineup, the Evolve+ is our recommendation for its driving range, availability with front- or all-wheel drive, and several convenience and safety features that make it easier to live with and more pleasurable to drive.

2023 Nissan ARIYA Engage 4dr SUV (electric DD)
The trim levels are a bit confusing, but if you're looking to get the most value for your money, I would go with the Engage version. It stickers at $44K, has 216 miles of range and includes: heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, heads-up display, radar adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, power folding outside mirrors and much more! It also has a … pretty decent sound system. I really enjoyed driving it, finding the Ariya to be quiet, comfortable and fun to drive. I think Nissan did a great job with this car. My only caveat is that the top-end Platinum e-4orce stickers at $63K, which is a lot of money, especially compared to other similar cars from Audi, BMW, Hyundai, Genesis and Volvo.
6/5/23 UPDATE: Well, I bought my Ariya Engage in Deep Ocean Blue with the Light Gray interior and I couldn't be happier! I did my research and test drove most of the competitors. Here are the ones I drove with a brief impression: BMW i4 - beautiful car, but about $10K more than the Ariya and a little too low to the ground for me, Ford Mustang Mach-E - very nice with a great sound system, but seats were a little difficult to adjust and I didn't like the all-glass roof that has no sun shade, Hyundai Ioniq5 - beautiful car that would have been my choice except for the lower seating position, and the firm seat back bolsters that pressed into my back, Kia EV6 - very nice, but the interior felt cramped due to the low roofline, Kia Niro - another nice car but too much piano black plastic in the interior and a somewhat jittery ride, Toyota bZ4x - nice car, but the interior had a lot of cheap looking black plastic, and the instrument pod obscures part of the windshield, VW id.4 - poorly designed controls, and slow screen response, with more copious black plastic in the interior. Back to the Ariya: I've been seeing a range of 240 miles on a full charge, which is higher than the EPA rating of 216 miles. The car is beautiful to look at, inside and out, and is so comfortable to drive. The interior ambient lighting is soothing and pretty, designed to resemble a Japanese lantern, very different from the ambient lighting in other cars. The seats have a number of adjustments and are very comfortable. The sound system is excellent, better than I expected! I really like the power operated center console that allows us shorter drivers (I'm 5'8") to find a comfortable position for the center armrest. The car has lots of tech features and many adjustments, but it's not overwhelming. Spend some time with the owner's manual and you'll be glad you did. I highly recommend the Ariya!
09/05/23 UPDATE: Well, three months later, and I'm still loving my Ariya! I'm really impressed with the efficiency: consistently using e-Step and ECO mode, I've been seeing a predicted range of 250-272 miles, which is outstanding considering the car is rated by the EPA at 216 miles. I've heard of other EVs not meeting their EPA range estimates, but that hasn't been the case with the Ariya. This car is so quiet and comfortable that it is my "go-to" car, despite the fact that I also have a new Mercedes GLC. So, after living with the car for three months, I have noticed a few annoyances, all minor. First, the driver's door armrest is VERY low on the door and creates an awkward driving position if you use both the driver's door and the center armrests. Second, the light at the charging port faces outward rather than facing the charging doors, so in some conditions, it's difficult to see the port. Third, and lastly, I wish Nissan had darkened the rear door windows, as do almost all other SUVs. It would make the car cooler on hot, sunny days, and it enhances the appearance. Those are my gripes. Otherwise, I'm still very happy with my Ariya and always look forward to driving it!
05/30/24 Update: One year and 7K miles later and I still love my Ariya! I recently brought it to the Nissan dealer for its one-year maintenance, which basically consisted of rotating the tires, at no charge. Overall, this car has been problem-free and dependable. A few times, the infotainment screen has gone blank, but it only lasts for a few seconds and then it comes back. I only charge it at home and have not taken it on any long road trips. As for range, in the warmer months, I see a predicted range of 260-280 miles (283 was the highest), and in the colder months, it drops to 180-200, still not bad considering it is EPA rated at 216 miles of range. After a year of owning this wonderful car, I still see very few on the road here in MA, which is probably due to low sales. People should really drive this car to experience how comfortable, quiet, responsive and substantial it is, before buying an id.4, Ioniq5, Mach-e, or other similar EV. Nissan recently lowered the prices on the Ariya, so that should help increase sales. I'm really happy with this car and can't recommend it highly enough!

2023 Nissan ARIYA Evolve+ 4dr SUV (electric DD)
We purchased the Evolve trim in June. I actual enjoy driving this car. So smooth. Great acceleration when needed. Our model has the wireless charger between the seats. Heads up display is a great feature which I've never had before. Car is very roomy. Cargo space could be better but it's adequate for general use. Car range is supposed to be 290. When we first got it, it was … showing 330. I'm sure this is going to very greatly depending on climate. We are in Arizona and because the AC was running basically full blast constantly and also the car would have to keep the battery cooler when it was very hot outside, our actual range was probably around 250. I expect it to be around 300 in the late fall and winter here. We only charge at home so far. You can charge it 220 or 110 and we just plug it right into a regular outlet. We have an Explorer if we drive out of town. For now, it is just an around town car and that works great for us. Combined with the solar plan we have (which is .05/KW on Peak) a 0-100 charge would only cost about $4.50.

2023 Nissan ARIYA Platinum+ e-4ORCE 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)
I have owned a Platinum two motor Ariya a year and a half and it continues to be a solid car with no problems. It is quick and the range has been true to estimates. I am a big guy and the space is better than the other EVs I tested. Getting to settings on menus can be confusing, but speech recognition and ApplePlay work well. It can be quick and fun or easily carry four in comfort, … and you can slow down and extend the range. I am certain the software will improve and they will adjust e-step- I didn’t own a LEAF so I didn’t have expectations from that perspective. Don’t judge it by the entry model and try it and judge for yourself. Only real complaint is Bose stereo option doesn't deliver the sound quality it should and the public charging network is hit or mess in terms of availability or reliability - mostly charge at home where we have solar and tesla battery so no cost to charge overall. Finally, Nissan cut a few corners they shouldn’t have - the mesh plastic covers are cool but could be more durable and the rear seats should have adjustable recline - finally check out headrests my wife is shorter and it pushed her head forward - it should be adjustable forward and back. I like the car but regret the bottom has fallen out of the EV market.

One thing I want to mention and that many competitors charge extra for is the heated steering wheel, thank you Nissan that is very thoughtful for cold winter mornings.
Many reviews have listed the nice features, here is … my list of possible improvements.
1. The hatch is really hard to close. Not motorized and if you are short and light weight, have fun trying.
2. Audio! There is no option I would have found to adjust low and/or high frequencies (equalizer style). Depending on the source, the sound can be great or a lot less than great, c'mon this is still a $44k car.
3. One-pedal driving, could not find on option to make this my default when starting the car, WHY NOT?
4. Expected better mileage in the city, not much difference to freeway. If you are heavy footed, 200 miles range is a challenge or something like wishful thinking.
5. I turn the AC sometimes on, sometimes off, after all it eats lots of miles, there is no AC button, only in a sub-menu of Heating :(. Along the same lines, one air vent left, one on the right is all the driver / passengers can adjust for themselves. No center console air sources.
6. Then there is the thing with the absence of the TAX-credit, that would be the killer for me as the Ariya doesn't stand out otherwise.
All of these reasons don't make the Ariya a bad car, it is a good car (hence 4-stars) and what stands out is the looks. If you want to drive a "bat-mobil" style of a car (mine is black), it sure looks cool!
I would buy an Ariya well before I buy a Model Y but that is more related to personal reasons, can't buy a car that benefits the Tesla CEO even if I pay a bit extra.
