  • Credit Nissan for truly bringing pure EVs to the mainstream 12-years ago with the five-door LEAF. But surprisingly, it has taken Nissan until now to deliver a follow up to their pioneer. So, let’s find out if the all-electric Ariya SUV should inherit the limelight.

    The only thing they are offering is premium. This goes against EV adoption.
    Every automaker is betting big on premium crossovers. Even Kia and Hyundai.
    You better bet that Chinese automakers will take full advantage of that entry level EV vacuum

    I'm sorry, but $44,000 for a base Nissan Ariya is a bit too much for me. I'm comfortable with $25,000 to $30,000 for a regular car.

    It's NOT the follow up for the Leaf. Nissan said that over and over and over. It literally was impossible to miss. The new Leaf will be the follow up to the current one. The Ariya is an upper mid class SUV, and being Nissans premium offering, it is designed to compete rather with Audi, BMW and the likes, whereas the Leaf will be up against VW, Kia, Hyundai etc.. The Leaf was, is and still will be a compact vehicle at a much lower price point.

      @@KenanTurkiye No arguments here but my fear is that the structural packs in newer EV’s are going to turn them into disposable cars as the insurance companies are not going to want to insure a repaired battery pack that is also structural. Same logic for the gigapress type architecture that prioritizes assembly over repairability.
