.............................................................
This is the all-new Nissan Ariya! It’s an all-new all-electric SUV, and Mat’s going hands-on with a prototype edition to see if it will have what it takes to compete with class-leaders like the Mustang Mach-E & Tesla Model Y!
And on first impressions, it looks like it may have what it takes! The exterior design is super sleek, with a sloping roofline at the back coupled with a full-length light bar. Up front, there’s a very cool ‘grille’ coupled with some real vents! All in all, it’s easily one of the best looking EV SUVs out there today.
But that’s not all - the high quality continues on the inside, too. The overall design seems relatively similar to a BMW iX, although you’ll find a large number of touch-sensitive buttons below a large infotainment screen. Unfortunately, though, the quality of the actual infotainment system isn’t all that great.
When it comes to power output and charging, the range-topping Ariya will come with two electric motors that can produce 394hp! The larger 87kWh battery pack should also be good for a claimed range of 310 miles.
As you can imagine though, this stylish EV SUV doesn’t come cheap, with prices starting from £42,000 - £15,000 more than a Qashqai! So is it worth it? You’ll have to stick with Mat to see for yourself!

01:20 So, do you agree with Mat? Is the Nissan Ariya the best-looking EV SUV? 🤔
Yh
I agree
No supra better
Hi
Yes
I never understood why charging at home taking 14 hours is an issue. You won’t charge the car from zero charge once a week, you’re just going to top it up every night.
Or once it reaches 20 you charge it until 80 which is healthier for the battery and you only fully charge it for long trips. That should reduce it from 14 to around 8
Some people don't have a 14 hour gap from work and sleep
You don't need full charge every day bro
@@rodrivalle Leaf doesn't have as much charging duration.
@@NewHandle_ you have a 200 mile daily commute that requires you to be 100% every morning?
Crazy how in 2022 some manufacturers still haven't managed to:
- make the back windows go down fully
- have proper physical controls for heating and drive modes
- make infotainment systems more responsive and lag free
Not crazy
Just cost cutting (in some cases)
And having a front boot/trunk! Wild how many legacy manufacturers and their electric cars don't have this when Tesla has had them practically from day 1.
@@alexn6060 why you use / when you write? boot, trunk...
Well the windows aren't just something they don't want to do or can't figure out. In most cars it's just not possible to fit the entire window inside the door in the back because of the doors shape. Almost every door in the back has a cutout for the rear tires. So it's not about figuring something out. It's just a part of the design and therefore simply not possible to bring the windows all the way down into the doorframe.
@@XzzVttll because it's called a "boot" or a "trunk" depending on where you live
Insanely underrated! Its actually a very nice ride...driving or as a passenger. When I get to my destination, I dont want to stop...I just want to keep driving. Nissan nailed the "lounge-like" feeling.
I actually hired an Ariya for a couple of days. I own a leaf all electric, and as you said, the Leaf will stop without having to apply the breaks. The creep mode in the Ariya will disengage once you stop and apply more pressure onto the foot brake and then release it, this way the creep mode is therefore disengaged. The car though I found was great. Lots of space inside. I averaged about 4.5 miles per Kwh that was urban and motorway driving combined.
Brilliant working out the range at 70mph (or 67mph!) in such a simple manner, hopefully this is done on all future reviews as its really important for many potential customers
i love how high the quality of these videos have been getting since the past 4 years
Love all your videos giving honest reviews of cars. Thanks for this onje4 as I was very tempted with buying the Ariya, but will hold out for longer now and check other cars out.
My favorite electric car so far! Wonderful design and really good and competitive features. A good all rounder.
The Ariya is definitely a beautiful car. Nissan fell asleep behind the wheel for many years and their Infiniti brand is probably collapsing. Glad they are waking up and I’m really loving this new EV.
70 mph range of 145 miles, max charging of 130 kw, and 0-60 in 7.8? Hardly waking up.
The design is eww.
the problem with infiniti is they looked so outdated, and the concepts looked so good, they just repeatedly disappointed with styling
@@avatr7109 nah this looks better than a lot of new suvs
@@zonemaster23 The low range at 70 mph is just an EV thing, ICE cars are better for long distances.
This is the one channel which I always watch all the commercials. Every little helps.
Brake test is pretty good 17:29 i.e. 33m. Nissan's e-4orce all-wheel-drive system is the technology star of the Ariya lineup-but it's not arriving until a few months later, a friend told me. But i do like this video! Great work, a good intro to the Ariya. Thank you!

Finally, was wondering when you'd get around to reviewing this!
2:23 WOW, that looks fantastic for touch controls. Not shiny black plastic but a wood texture. Give that designer a prize please. I still don't like touch due to how finicky it can be, but hey, if that's where we're going, that's the best looking by far.
Yeah people somehow think touch controls are an upgrade 🤷 honestly I'd be happy to still have manual crank windows 😂. -I'll keep waiting for batteries to drop in weight and price and mod a lightweight 90s car👌
@@infinitely_free_to_be_me Hahaha, roll up windows are fun, I do appreciate not having to try and reach a window left opened by someone else though.
I still like physical controls a lot, unless touch controls are actually better in certain scenarios.

I like the regen braking on twisty roads. It reminds me of how my motorcycle behaves with it's heavy engin braking.
I love the whole car in every angle like you Mat
I really like the looks of the Ariya. It's definitely been on our short-list, second to the Fisker Ocean. I like the Ariya's looks more, though.

Appears to be about the size of the Nissan Rogue. Overall, a good intro video to the Ariya. Thanks. Towing capacity is low for my needs but typical for a “family” vehicle. I watched some other channels (sorry, but your not my only “star”) about battery charging and the advertised charging rates are under very ideal situations. Wonder how the Ariya’s charging curve looks?
Beautiful electric car is very rare, this is one of them and I love this Nissan😍
Back windows dont go down all the way when they are in one piece. They only go down all the way when there are divaded into 2 sections. One smaller fixed and the other that goes down.

Hey Mat, awesome video as always! I've noticed that many of these electric SUVs have stiffer suspension than their ICE counterparts due to the increased weight, which do you think has the most comfortable suspension so far?
The Ionic 5 so far is the most comfortable one to daily around. And best looking in my opinion.

I pray for the touchscreen era to be over soon. We need drivers keeping their eyes on the road. We also done need home theater screens distracting us. A decent sized info- screen with buttons and knobs that can be operated on muscle memory, to keep driver, occupants, other cars and pedestrians safe.
Question @15:15: In general speedometer shows like 5 km/h higher than the actual speed for security purposes. I believe the statistics show the actual value
The average of 67mph vs cruising at 70 could be because it’s including the start from 0mph. The driving distance is still short at that point at 5 miles. The two numbers should get closer as the distance increases.
@Eluwina don’t care
Trip was reset as he was cruising at 70 though, he didn't record it from 0 :p
@@jessiawoo5305 yes, he reset the trip computer. That’s the distance measured. The question then is if the average speed follows that or not. That’s definitely not a given as I’ve seen cars not do that.
All speedo’s over-read; my old Qashqai needed to get to 77mph for my TomTom to read 70, my current DS shows 54 when passing a local speed sign that flashes a friendly 50 at me. Yes it could be mis calibrated, but it’s more likely the car. Useful for interminable average speed zones on MW roadworks ;)

"It changes everything"
Was waiting for that the entire review
yeah this title is a disservice to the channel. don't think I'll ever click on a video of theirs again.
Actually like the look of the Aryia. So much more interesting to look at than a Tesla Model Y. I will look forward to a test drive of the 400bhp model.
Sure. And pay your kidney to service it, since they still operate under the dealer business model. 🤡
@@ev.c6 Previously I had an electric Renault... Whilst I never service my cars at a dealers, I did always dealer service my EV. It was super cheap! Approximately 25% of what I expected a "full service" to be. So with that in mind, I very confident that you will be wrong.... In the kidney cost department.
3:57 That's cable management mate. FINALLY a car manufacturer that figured out the cables have to go somewhere! Also, max cargo capacity is bigger than any of the mentioned rivals - 1775 Liters when measured according to VDA standards. Thats benchmark for an EV of that length. Drive mode selector is fine I think. Opposed to ICE cars, the selected mode is of much less effect to the performance anyway, and there is always kickdown if you need full power quickly. Personally I like physical buttons, but I have to say the way Nissan implemented these haptic controls is one of the first iterartions I kind of see why you would even want that. It'S just a very neat way, and we are talking about an SUV here, so I think it's really ok if you can't switch to Sport mode in a split second. We'll manage :)
Concerning the charging speeds - it's not so much peak power that is of concern. The charging curve is where it's at, and the Ariya is supposed to have a very good one. According to Nissan, it will be able to keep up with a Model Y long range for well over 800Km before the slighty larger average speeds of the Y will actually make it faster. And it will do that while sparing the grid and the battery those high peak rates. If the Tesla, or an EV6/I5 can't find any chargers over 150Kw or the weather is cold, the Ariya actually might be faster even, since it can deal with moderately high speeds a lot longer than the afforementioned. That's a win in my book. Also, range: 530Km is very good even by Teslas standards. No compaints there. Ride - well, you british always complain :D
hello Nissan 👋
The ioniq 5 actually has a very impressive charge curve. 150 at least until 80%.
This has the downside that the car will limit acceleration for quite a while after charging is done.
@@Scnottaken If you look a the real world tests, road trip videos etc., it seems it rather will have an average speed of 70-120Kw for your typical 20-80 charges. It starts high but drops significantly. Occasionally it will be able to get higher averages, but that's rather the exception, not the norm as far as I can see, and in winter time, it actually will be very slow to charge, just like the EV6. Same with Tesla by the way. That said, I think the Ioniq 5 still is a very nice car, quick charging isn't by far as good as advertised, but it's still good for the most part, and QC is not the be all and end all of an EV anyways. After all, quick charging also is rather the exception, not the norm. I think there are way more important criteria than "charging faster than everyboyd else". 5 years from now, charging parks will be PACKED and noone will be able to pull full peak rates to begin with.

The review I have been waiting for!
It looks much, much better than any other electric SUV. Respect.
They put the release for the rear seats on the sides so you can easily flip it down through the rear doors instead of the tailgate
I've seen this in gold/brown color and it looks like a futuristic car! Love it!
I really love the Ariya, tried first a fwd. Didn't like it that much, but the awd was so good i bought one.
congrats on 6.9 million subscribers
I realise that Matt has been putting down the seats the more harder way, when you could just go to the rear door and put them down from there. Because i‘d think some people would have the common sense to do that.
Just for people checking this now later - the Ariya now has an option for quicker charging at home charging points, the infotainment system seems to have been upgraded at least a bit and there is a long range version.
Its imo now almost perfect.
I don't think it should be optional for quicker home charging.
I was looking forward to the Ariya, but that review killed it for me. Of course if there was a very good deal, it would move up.
@@neilm9400 I never spend less than 12 hours at home between shifts at work so it doesn’t matter for me, US is locked at 7.2 KW home charging while Europe gets that 22.3 KW option but to each their own i guess

Looking forward to your vids on what Opel/Vauxhall is doing at the moment with the mokka and soon to arrive Opel astra.
That interior is seriously good looking!
I think it is more appealing than the VW & Skoda alternatives, but although it's design is very good I doubt it surpasses the Ford, Hyundai/Kia & especially the Tesla. Tough choice!
15:16 Cruise Control 70mph vs 67mph, answer: Speedo and Cruise control always 'lie' and show more than you're actually driving. The average speed info on the other hand is the real speed that's why it's 3mph shy. Pretty sure this affects 99% cars with Cruise Control :)
That doesn’t make sense as the average speed would be based off the same readings as the speedo and cruise controls.
@@jardarsundeolsen3123 if you calculate avg. speed with "distance divided by time spent", then you'd get 67 MPH in these situations
@@darep well obviously. That’s what average speed is. The point was that he claimed the average speed was lower because the speedo tends to show more than the actual speed while the average was somehow based on the actual speed. That would imply either that they deliberately program the speedometer to show too much or there’s two sources for measuring speed. Neither makes sense. That’s what I was pointing out.
Agree: The reason for most car manufacturers lie about presented speedo and cruise control speed, showing 5-10% higher speed than actual, is to reduce accident statistics of their car brand. If all you cars drive 5% slower the fatality and serious accidents will be lower. This mean lower insurance and better car accident statistics for the brand giving more sales of cars. These "off set" is within acceptable limits of what they are allowed to do according to applicable regulations/standards and are based on difficulty to get good accuracy with these readings back in the day.
Correct! In fact, I believe this affects all cars to some degree. I've heard that speedos are optimistic by 2-5% (compared to actual speed). I know this to be the case with every car I've owned. In the USA, IIRC, manufacturers can actually be punished if the actual speed of the vehicle exceeds what is displayed to the driver -- makes sense as that condition would create all sorts of liability problems for the manufacturer.
Very interesting video! Nissan’s Ariya is well equipment and has a beautifully designed interior.

That button to change driving modes would do my head in. I like to switch modes depending on what I want to do, usually as traffic around me is changing, so switching from eco to sport and back to eco (once you're past some smokey diesel lump) would hardly be possible in the ariya.
I've been for a test drive and you are alas correct. The rest of the car is superb. I don't know what the were thinking. Haptic controls may provide feedback, but it's pointless if you can't find them by feel!
Take it for a test drive. The 4WD will surprise you even in eco.

Mat what on earth were you thinking when interacting with those poor Isofix holes? (06:11)
Thank you very much for your hard work. Another wonderful video.
Just before I've moved to Britain, my wife and I were somewhat conflicted about which car to purchase. And after months of research (while we were still in Hong Kong), we have taken a leap of faith in the KIA EV6. Now after watching so many different reviews on the Ariya and the EV6. I feel lucky that I've chosen the EV6 instead of the Ariya. The designs just aren't 100%. They need to be more practical.
Nevertheless, the Ariya is still a very good car.
Agreed. I've had my EV6 for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it. There's nothing on this Ariya making me wish I'd waited. Great car but Kia seems to have the upper hand.
@@cperero23 I think KIA might have beaten everybody in this competition, even her mother company's IONIQ 5. I am expecting mine at the end of July. I have a few extra options installed including Korean language display, built-in dash cam function and 9H ceramic coating with lifetime warranty on the ceramic coating. (I know a guy😅) It's a bit more expensive than the average RWD. But I expect that she'll worth every penny. 😍

I Don't usually like nissan but this nissan ariya it looks pretty cool
Can you put Km conversions at the bottom when you speak in miles like Doug demuro
The average is 67mph because the vehicle was set up for the 19" rims you mentioned previously so when they put the 20" rims on it they forgot to do the speedo calibration.
On my prius the odometer is always 10% lower than the actual speed, so if the odometer says 30mph, in reality the GPS will say 27 mph
More from this guy. Subscribed!
Hi Mat great review haha it’s always pleasant to listen to you. Thank you but I’m still like a gasoline. Greetings from Croatia
You can always lower the seats from the rear doors
Tbh I have never ever lowered the rear seats from the boot. Always done it from rear doors, just a bit of planning or forethought.
Your average speed is different because it’s based on the odometer reading, not the speedo itself. But if you haven’t seen that before it’s because you drive European cars and they would like the warranty to finish earlier than the actual miles traveled. Ps it’s also handy in average speed camera zone to give you the actual average speed.
saw this car at the NY auto show, looks really good in person
Finally an example I can show people who are struggling to pronounce my name, congrats Matt on getting it spot on 👏
Looks like a bit of an improvement from the pre-prod samples that appeared in videos last month, which I thought was underwhelming. The only thing I don't like about these, is that they will sell really well and Ariya drivers will be hogging all the 350kw chargers.
Well, the times of empty charging parks are soon to be over anyways. One more reason why Nissan made the right call with low peak/high average charging rate. What good are 230kw peak if you have to load share 90% of the time?
@@NameNaameNameeNaamee True 👍
Ah the woes of ev ownership lol
No $7500 federal tax credit means they've got an uphill climb to sell really well.
Carwow needs to call out manufacturers on their lack of security like what is available on Teslas with their sentry mode. At the very least, they should pre-cable cars and offer a usb-c port by the rear view mirror for people to plug in third party dash cams.
The plastic next to the phone slot in the console is a cord wrap, so you can stow your extra length of charging cable.
Whenever Carwow uploads videos, these videos are banger.

Agree a love the leaf and am finding it hard fo go back to petrol am coming into some probate money my dad passed away seen one for 37 k u think worth it ? What total miles do the battery packs last for
That car is amazing Nissan is becoming my favourite manufacturer I currently have a diesel X6 this may be my next car hopefully I can order cream leather and wood trim
A good effort Nissan, but WHY is it so inefficient? As a 40kwh Leaf owner I was looking at Aria as my next new car. I’m disappointed.
I’m curious about the range for battery size. The sister car Mégane ETech with 60 battery gets 290 claimed, whereas the Ariya with 63 gets only 220 miles claimed. Also, an EV6 with 77 battery gets over 300, the Nissan a similar range with 87 battery.
Could be drag...
Probably all the same in the real world
Weights aren't they same.
Similar to ICE cars, heavier cars guzzle more to provide same power as a lighter car.
Weight and aerodynamics efficiency.
The ariya has either 1 or 2 separatly excited sync motors (FWD/AWD). They're slightly less efficient than a PSM (self excited sync motor) which most other RWD/FWD EVs have. Most AWD have a PSM in the back and an induction motor in the front. Even though induction motors are the most inefficent of all 3 types, they're the only one which can be completely turned off if you coast or don't need power to accelerate. Which leads to less energy used.
The reason Nissan chose this setup is because separatly excited motors are free of rare-earth metals which PSMs are not. In terms of sustainability their setup is the best.
Well, now electriciy (and gas) has risen by an eyewatering 54% and further increases in October could push it up even more, is electric the way to go or is it best to stick with petrol? Of course this depends greatly on the milage you do. My present car is the Qashqai 1.3 Tekna 158BHP with DCT gearbox (a 2020 model) I would have to do some serious calculations. Any comment Matt or others?
lol kudos to the cameraman filming in the rain with the door open.
And yes I confirm the alignment and stitching were fixed in production cars -- This video was crucial in deciding on an EV! Thanks Carwow and team 🙂

I love the name... Ariya. Sounds so lovely.
Have to say I'm more impressed than the earlier concept vehicle - but the back I still don't think they quite nailed aesthetically and at that price point they are trying to jostle into a crowded premium segment where they won't be prominent on the list - they either need to get that price down a bit or go with a bit more conviction and push the boat out more on some of the features for instance automatically extending running boards and tightening up/refining the ride/handling.
Personally not a fan of the movement away from physical controls or dials/readouts - at least the speedometer is reasonably conventional appearance wise though, unlike some recent vehicles where they've tried to be clever and just makes it not great for quickly reading. Many of the other controls would practically still be better as physical buttons - you definitely don't want to be distracted by unresponsive touch controls if trying to quickly change an AC setting, etc.
Would rather have the hazard warning button placed alongside the start/stop button and of similar size - the current one seems a bit hit and miss for trying to quickly operate in an emergency.
agree, 42k price should be for 4 wheel drive, for basic model, i would not choose Nissan for that money, but sheep will buy it and think they are driving something special!
physical buttons are more complicated than capacitive buttons and car manufacturers realized most people will just accept capactive screens or buttons as being more modern, or even a "premium" feature. I aways crige when I see capacitive buttons to control the AC and this car goes beyond that. It's really concerning, I don't want to take my eyes off the road to change the cabin temperature.
Mat made me say wow again like usually but in a futuristic way
it should.. coz if nissan wants to survive, they have to push the boundaries!
One of the best looking EVs
Absolutely love the inside

My man Mat looking like a slick roadman in here! Cheers!
@carwow Thanks for actually talking about the e-pedal. I already wondered what would happen since I heard they changed it. So no more one pedal driving anymore, e-pedal is now an old style automatic gearbox copy with regen. Sorry Nissan, after a few years now with the e-pedal in the Leaf that has become a deal breaker. I was considering the Ariya as a replacement for the Leaf in the near future due to it having e-pedal. Well since you broke it, I won't get one. I'd give up on climate control before giving up on true one pedal driving...

Not sure with electric, but most combustion vehicles speedos are 5% out. You can see this when you use navigation, if you set it to 70, the speed on your navigation unit will usually display 67mph as it is using the correct method to calculate speed, distance / time = speed. Maybe the average here is taken using GPS and not wheel revolutions.
