- 2023 Nissan Ariya | The Only Fully Cooked Japanese EV?
For the latest Nissan Ariya pricing and information:
www.kbb.com/nissan/ariya/
The most obvious thing about the 2023 Nissan Ariya’s exterior probably the front end. No grille. Why would you need it? Instead, Nissan’s using a shield with illuminated badging to house sensors for driver’s assistance features like their ProPilot Assist system.
The front end with Nissan’s V-motion design headlights incorporated looks modern. If you look closely you can see this graphic pattern eludes to a Japanese ma design style. This is supposed to look like clouds parting as the sun, the Nissan logo, rises.
To keep the taillight continuous, they opted for a first of its kind written out NISSAN badge. It gets fender flares that give it a hint of muscularity and a feeling of power. Mazda’s MX-30 does a great job in the looks department, too, but I think I like how the Ariya looks just a bit better. It doesn’t get that super high beltline and feels better proportioned.
Because the Ariya rides on an EV exclusive platform, designers didn’t have to work around structures for mechanicals that don’t exist. For example, it doesn’t need to accommodate for a transmission tube or physical connections to the transmission, so there is a flat floor giving you more space that what’s usable in the segment with ICE cars.
You get a movable center console for adjustment and comfort. There’s a tray for resting things or stashing stuff. And if you’re not using your wireless charger with your Wireless Apple CarPlay there’s a space where you can wind up your charge cord.
Of course, there’s a ton of tech on the interior as well. You’ve got standard dual 12.3-inch screens that stretch from the A-pilar to the center of the cabin. These work in tandem with Nissan’s easy to use UX system to really give the driver a customizable set up for their information and I like how they’re oriented to the driver making them easy to see.
There aren’t a ton of physical buttons, but you get haptic feedback controls in this wood finish for HVAC. It’s pretty sensitive but it’s easy to get used to. And I do like that they include a volume knob. Yes, I’m still old school.
The interior of the Ariya is incredibly livable. It’s comfortable and spacious and doesn’t feel like it compromises. Materials in the back seat.
The Ariya will be available with either one front mounted motor or two motors. The second powers the rear wheels. That gets you AWD or what Nissan are calling e-4ORCE. It will also have two battery size options, either a 63-kWh battery or a larger 87-kWh battery, so there are choices when it comes to buying the car you need or want.
The battery lives underneath the center of car giving it a low center of gravity, that makes for solid handling. This little thing turns effortlessly and confidently thanks to that and a lot of structural rigidity. The suspension gives you a cushiony feel without going overboard and going mushy on you.
ProPilot assist is the same system that comes on the Rogue, Pathfinder, Altima and other Nissan products and is the latest iteration of their driver’s assistance features.
Nissan moved the charge port from the front on the LEAF to the side in case you want to back into a parking spot. On a DC Fast charger you’ll get 100-miles in 15 minutes. The Ariya tops at a 130 kw charge peak - but the good thing about that is no matter if your 350 charger is only pushing 250 or 150 and not at full capacity you’ll always get that 100/15.
The base model Venture+ (EPA est range: 304 miles) gets the 87 kWh battery (238-hp/221 lb-ft of torque) and comes well equipped with adaptive cruise control and leather wrapped steering wheel. That base model gets the longest possible range, so if that’s what you’re after you don’t have to spend more dough. You can only get the Venture+ trim with FWD.
Pricing starts at $45,950 and deliveries are expected in early fall for the FWD and late fall for the AWD models. Since the Ariya is built in Japan, if you haven’t already reserved one you won’t be eligible for the federal tax credit because that now only applies to cars built in the US and the Ariya is built in Japan. Nissan assures us they’re making strides to qualify again at some point based on the federal government’s latest regulations.
The Nissan Ariya has great looks, excellent interior space, respectable driving chops, and more than adequate range for even the most hesitant EV adopters. It feels deliberate and not like something thrown together. Looks like Nissan’s fellow country-folk have some catching up to do.

I can't believe my eyes! A nice, clean, elegant design in a Nissan with high perceived quality in the interior!! Now I can rest in peace...
You'll like it even more once you sit in it. It really is something else!
Please don't RIP! But glad you like how it looks. We think they did a nice job with it, too.
Are you about to die?
Now go try and buy it.
😂 not u resting in peace 🤧🤧
That is one of the most beautiful car interiors I’ve ever seen. Very clean, modern, and sophisticated.
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.
Pontiac models , it is hard to find even in junkyard, sorry man
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...
Excellent review!
@@kbb Thanks. You too. :)
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.
Thats pretty funny. Here in the states this thing is a compact suv. It's pretty small.
Nissan delivered on this one! Concept to production is identical in all facets. Well done
You mentioned the Mazda MX30 more times than the number of MX30s Mazda will ever sell.
🤣Facts 🤣🤣
They need to be shamed on that turd every day for the next decade.
@@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.
I believe Mazda sold 8
This is my dream Nissan All-electric SUV.
Awesome job with your content as always.
Good to see Nissan going in the right direction.
meanwhile my 510 just turned 50 last spring- still in love!
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. 😄🇨🇦
Thanks for your comment. We like Lyn, too.
@@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.
The production on this reminds me of Motor Trend's old writeups, thematic but not overdone. KBB is doing a great job
I agree Brandon. KBB is becoming my favorite automotive channel.
Here's hoping Nissan does a better job supporting Ariya owners than they did Leaf owners.
How do you mean?
Edit: don’t mean it as a dick btw just curious as to what issues may have been happening (besides chademo charging)
And scale before they die
@@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
@@Wasssup3232 at least one instance I read about occurred within the last 2 years.
Looks like a great car. At $45k for the base model it’s way out of my price range.
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
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 forget get the 7500 tax break
Pretty sure they are making a cheaper version with less range.
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).
The inside looks good and the features are nice.
We love how the interior looks. They did a nice job.
Wow that Voice command found a Charging station pretty fast. Good job there.
Worked faster than the system in a Mercedes and was very specific. Loved that it worked seamlessly.
I loved the new video photography, looks really good, fresh/cinematic!
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!
Been looking forward to this one.. thanks!!
One of your best videos Lyn, especially the better script. Whatever changed, keep doing that.
Simp harder
Thanks for the nice comment!
Another fantastic review 😃👍🏾
Wild to see you driving and recognize most of it as my daily commute.
Nice commute!
@@kbb I used to live a quarter mile from Loveless and I drive past Nissan HQ every day!
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.
Agreed although I'm not canceling mine, that only flaw is minor when the rest of the car is so nailed out. Excited for it to be delivered!
@@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.
I pre ordered mine back in March, Super excited to get my premier in northern metallic lights color scheme
Glad to see that Nissan couldn’t figure out how to put a CVT in an electric car. Finally, a car out of Yokohama that’s built properly.
😂 😂 for sure they thought about shoving that CVT in there somehow
Don't hate, my CVT Altima has 154,000 miles. I learned soon after purchase to change the fluid every 30k.
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.
Great job, Lynne!
Does it have front camera and how to charge and where and what??
Excellent video!😸
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 😄🤚
I would like to know that under the hood is empty or compact (engine compartment) like gasoline vehicles .
Impressive vehicle
Actually love the interior and exterior!
5'5" and Adorable! Thank you for this presentation.
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)!
Does it come with it own charger where can u charge at home
Great and beautiful car! 👍👍👍
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
“Peacock Booty”. I don’t know why I enjoyed Lyn saying that so much 🤷🏾♂️😌
It kinda looks like that!
Can't wait for the comparisons between the Ariya and HAG siblings.
Pretty cool car. Lyn is legit dressed like Helen Hunt in the movie Twister 🙂
Classic 1996 style!
I reserved the platinum model. Will I be able to get the tow hitch for my bike?? Please say yes!!
It looks great. No more CVT.
Absolutely loveeeeee
I like KBB reviews but I wish you'd cover the Charging Curve for EV reviews.
Nice looking car. I hope it sells well for Nissan. The Natchez Trace Parkway is very close to my home.
Hey well at least Im subscribed! 🤣 Love this new car EV from Nissan!
Honestly this Nissan EV is perfect
whats blinking underneath the center console ?
Interior ambient lighting, doesnt flash when not on camera, just shutter speed on camera
So, would there be any way to buy this that doesn't involve a Nissan dealership?
I'm impressed.
Nissan is back!!
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!
Does this replace the Murano? We've not heard anything about the Murano for a while.
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.
This is my next car. I can’t wait for US deliveries to begin.
Love your vids Lynn, but where has Mika been? Haven’t seen a vid of his for a bit
Micah is still doing videos! Look for one on the Lexus RX coming soon.
Nice, "Nissan Ariya," this girl has knowledge about cars! that's right she works for KBB! good job! point out the detail.
If only it was a SUV !
Nissan Ariya, it's a perfect car.
That car looks fantastic. Almost 400 hp too wow
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 would definitely get this over a Tesla... looks much better and seems more competent for similar pricings
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.
Didn't the quest have that moving console? Kinda cool to see that again
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?
Hi! Thanks for the review. What is the name of that color?
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.
@@joeb4294 Thank you, hanven't seen it on my country, that was why I was curious.
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.
Beatifull on Italy.
Isn’t the speed limit extremely slow on the N Trail??
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.
Shout out to Franklin, TN! I live a couple of miles from Nissan NA.
Bravo Nissan! Looks even better than the Lexus RZ that is based on the Toyota BZ4x!
So the Honda e isn’t sold in the US?
Heat Pump or resistive heating? I'd consider it if it was federal tax credit eligible. Given my 2016 Prius is still getting the job done I can wait.
I want two please 😄
Some comparisons with the market leader Tesla would have been useful, not comparisons to the market loser: Mazda's 100 mi range car.
Nice job Nissan! Please revive Infiniti next from a Q50 3.0T owner
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.
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.
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.
Have these been heavily discounted? I feel that I see these all over Denver. 👀
My next car
So release the car to the public already! What’s the holdup?
FWD deliveries start October/November for US Customers, AWD starts sometime after
@@Wasssup3232 thanks
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.
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
The reviewer is a babe!!!
Ok, I’m confused. They said it didn’t have one pedal drive and then they said e-pedal is one pedal drive???
Nice Design Car Electric
You should have gone to Leapers Fork. I hope Nissan does well with this new car.
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
11:42 Some typos there guys: "Engineers at Mazda..."
As with all EVs, it's expensive. But I remember how expensive the first Plasma/LCD TVs were when they first came out.
Why does this keep getting compared to the MX30? Literally any other EV is competition 😂
Looks like Nissan hit it out of the park with this one
If considering EV tax credits, make sure you are reading ALL the new requirements!! Many additions this year!!! 7:17 7:17
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.
Wow
Good looking car
Nissan has already said that production of the Ariya will move to the Canton, MS. manufacturing plant.
Nissans history with their recalls is my concern…
Engineers at Mazda did the suspension tuning?
I noticed that too. Had to rewind and listen again
no she was saying that Mazda still has a leg up over the Ariya with the MX-30's suspension tuning, but the Aryia comes close.
if I had 100k for cars, Ariya and Z
Same, Ariya for everyday use and Z for having fun on weekends.
It looks like the hyundai Nexo but I think it's great.
