(July 15, 2020) – Nissan today revealed the all-new Nissan Ariya electric crossover, marking a new chapter for Nissan electric vehicles. – A stylish SUV packed with the latest connectivity, convenience, driver assistance Nissan Ariya world debut: an all-electric crossover for a new era The Ariya is Nissan's latest EV and its crossover body style, promised long-range, and dual-motor e-4orce drivetrain presents a package with lots to love. Take Part In The Nissan Ariya Discussion Here What are your thoughts on Nissan's new EV? Please let us know in the comment section below. We're looking forward to learning more about the Ariya in the coming months leading up to its launch. So while the Ariya will be a much more capable EV than the LEAF, buyers that are shopping in the ~$30,000 price range (pre-subsidiaries) will lose one of the options available to them today once the LEAF is retired. Nissan tells us the starting price will be about $40,000 in the US which is roughly $8,000 more than than the starting price of a LEAF S. The Ariya is expected to launch about a year from now in Japan, with availability in the US and Europe before the end of 2021. 130 kW DC fast charge isn't great by today's standards, but it is good enough and certainly an upgrade from the LEAF. We are particularly happy to see that Nissan is using a large battery that will offer 300 miles of range and that they are finally using a proper thermal management system. For the e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive variant, Nissan adds another motor in the rear which increases the power figures to a very respectable 389 hp with 443 lb-ft of torque. The front-wheel-drive Ariya has 215 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque. It seems to us, just looking at the pictures that the Ariya has ample cargo space, so we're not sure how they arrived at only 16.5 and 14.6 cu ft of space. Nissan representatives are looking into the cargo space numbers to make sure the figures posted in the release aren't a mistake. To put that into perspective, the much-smaller BMW i3 has 15.1 cu ft of cargo space and the similarly-sized Ford Mustang Mach-e offers 29 cu ft of cargo volume. The specifications sheet states the Ariya has 16.5 cu ft (467 liters) of cargo volume for the front-wheel drive version, and 14.6 cu ft (413 liters) for the e-4ORCE AWD variant. However, it appears the Ariya doesn't have much room for cargo in the rear. We learned the Ariya will not have a front trunk, as Nissan engineers pushed the HVAC system and other components further forward than they usually are to allow for a more roomy interior. The Ariya appears to have ample cargo space, yet the official capacity offered by Nissan is only 16.5 cu ft Cargo space There's a flat floor to offer a more spacious interior look and feel, as well as Zero-Gravity seats wrapped up in Nissan's new "Timeless Japanese Futurism" design language. There's also wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto standard on all Ariya. The Ariya will feature Amazon Alexa to "simplify and organize their lives", as Nissan puts it. Ariya shipped to the US and Europe will have a single Combo chargeport located on the left side front fender. That's because those vehicles need a CHAdeMO inlet, and that will be located on the right front fender. We asked Nissan about that and were told that only the vehicles delivered in Japan will have two chargeports. You may notice in the photo gallery that there are chargeports on both sides of the vehicle. I asked Nissan for comment on the decision to restrict the AC charging to 7.2 kW and was told that they believe most customers won't notice the difference since people typically charge overnight, and in that case, the slightly slower speed isn't a factor. Most of the new electric vehicles coming out with large batteries are opting for 9.6 kW AC charging, which can significantly reduce the charge time. As for AC Charging, the Ariya will have a 7.2 kW onboard charger which is OK, but not great.
