Nissan Ariya (2022-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 stylish, five-seat electric SUV with a coupe-like silhouette that gives it an upmarket appearance. It is available with two battery options (63kWh or 87kWh) and a choice of two- or all-wheel drive, offering an official range of up to 330 miles. Inside, the Ariya is practical for a family, with plenty of passenger space and a decent boot. The cabin feels particularly premium, featuring a minimalist design with wood finishes and two large 12.3-inch screens, positioning it as a strong rival to the Skoda Enyaq and Volkswagen ID.4.

The Ariya provides a slick and relaxing driving experience, with smooth, predictable power delivery. However, the ride can be firm over bumps, and rivals like the Tesla Model Y offer a more engaging drive. Standard equipment is generous even on the entry-level Engage trim, with higher models adding features like a panoramic roof and a premium Bose stereo. Running costs are competitive for an EV, but the initial purchase price is high compared to some alternatives, though residual values are reasonable.

Best for: Buyers who value style, a premium-feeling and minimalist interior, and generous standard equipment in their electric family SUV.

Not ideal for: Drivers who prioritise a smooth ride over all else, those looking for the most engaging driving dynamics, or budget-conscious buyers.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Ariya if: You want a stylish electric SUV with a high-quality, minimalist interior and a relaxing drive.

Consider alternatives if: A supple ride, engaging handling, or a lower purchase price are your top priorities.

Competitive Position: The Nissan Ariya stands out in a crowded market with its distinctive style and classy interior. While it's not the most comfortable or fun-to-drive electric SUV, its blend of practicality, technology, and perceived quality makes it a very appealing family car for those who value its upmarket feel.
