Nissan Ariya (2023-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Practical interior	Ride comfort could be smoother
Attractive, modern cabin design	Boot is adequate but not exceptional
Relaxing to drive	Expensive to buy

Quick Summary

The Nissan Ariya is a five-seat electric SUV that sits between the Nissan Qashqai and X-Trail in size. It features a distinctive, upmarket design with an SUV-coupe silhouette and bold shark-like fascia. Available in two-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive configurations, it offers two battery options: 63kWh or 87kWh, delivering an official WLTP-tested driving range of 247 to 330 miles. Prices start from £35,000 (or £33,500 with the UK Government's £1,500 electric car grant), rising to £56,630 for the performance-focused Nismo variant.

The Ariya is very practical, with a 466-litre boot in front-wheel-drive models and 408 litres in all-wheel-drive versions. The three-person rear bench offers generous legroom and headroom, whilst the minimalist interior features a Scandi-design aesthetic with wood trim and touch-sensitive buttons. Driving dynamics are smooth and predictable, though the ride is rather firm and steering lacks the engagement of rivals like the Ford Mustang Mach-E or Tesla Model Y. Running costs are competitive at around 7-8p per mile, and residual values are reasonable. The Ariya combines style, generous equipment, and an impressive interior to create a likeable family SUV, though it lacks a unique selling point in an increasingly competitive class.

Best for: Buyers seeking a stylish, practical electric SUV with a premium interior feel and impressive equipment levels, particularly those prioritising comfort and practicality over driving engagement.

Not ideal for: Those wanting the most engaging driving dynamics, the softest ride quality, or the most affordable electric SUV in its class.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Ariya if: You prioritise a stylish, practical electric SUV with a premium interior feel, impressive equipment levels, and a relaxing driving experience over outright performance.

Consider alternatives if: You want the most engaging driving dynamics, the softest ride quality, or the most affordable electric SUV in its class.

Competitive Position: The Nissan Ariya is a bold and appealing electric SUV that competes well in key areas including driving range, practicality, and perceived quality. Its classiest interior sets it apart from many rivals in the not-quite-premium electric SUV segment. However, it faces stiff competition from the Skoda Enyaq, which offers superior comfort and value, and the Tesla Model Y, which delivers more engaging driving dynamics. The Volkswagen ID.4 also provides strong all-round credentials. Whilst the Ariya lacks a unique selling point in this increasingly competitive class, its distinctive style, generous equipment, and impressive cabin design make it a likeable choice for those prioritising aesthetics and practicality.
