The new electric crossover has brisk acceleration, precise handling, and goes about 300 miles on a charge. Design and attention to detail really set it apart.
If you’re looking for an electric SUV that will duplicate all the sounds and visceral feelings of a gasoline-powered car, the Nissan Ariya isn’t it. In a world of piped-in sounds and electronic exhaust notes, the new 2023 Nissan Ariya goes with “quiet and serene” instead. Is that a good choice? Yes.
Attention to detail The materials inside are good, but the design, in-car tech, and attention to detail set it apart from other $40,000 electric crossovers. For example, there’s a power sliding center console, hands-free Pro Pilot 2.0, and the use of a backlit Japanese woodworking pattern throughout Ariya’s interior and exterior. Some of the usual automotive interior materials are used in the Ariya, but the overall look is upscale. Nissan calls the new look “Timeless Japanese Futurism.
Like Super Cruise on some Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC models, ProPilot 2.0 allows for long stretches of hands-free driving. The Ariya even includes a power retractable center console so the driver can get more comfortable on road trips where pushing the accelerator and brake pedals are not needed. An unmanaged charging cable can interfere with the gear selector and the cupholders and just looks unsightly. iPhone users are treated to wireless Apple AAPL CarPlay, but Android users will have to plug in to mirror their phone’s screen on the in-car screen.
This new system has sharp graphics, responds quickly, and is easy to use. If you include the head-up display, technically, there are three screens. The Ariya also includes over-the-air updates, “specifically, software that controls the multimedia system, electric and electronic architecture, chassis, climate system, and EV settings,” according to Nissan.
Speaking of the Nissan GT-R, the Ariya’s AWD system is dubbed “e-4ORCE,” and Nissan says it is “born from the company’s rich history of developing memorable all-terrain vehicles and sports cars” and “the spiritual offspring of the Nissan GT-R’s ATTESA E-TS torque split system and the intelligent all-wheel-drive systems found in Nissan’s lineup of crossovers and SUVs.”
