Nissan Ariya

Nissan is in full-scale emergency mode to save itself: the automaker is cutting 9,000 jobs, slashing production capacity, and selling off its stake in Mitsubishi Motors. The CEO is also reducing his own salary by half.

Nissan Ariya drivers are getting NACS adapters this year so they can charge at compatible Tesla Superchargers – and Nissan has another big announcement, too.

It’s national Drive Electric Week, and there are a ton of great events showcasing EVs happening all across the country. Yesterday, I spent a few hours at my local event (Chicago Drives Electric), to get a first-hand look at some of the best new EV deals on the road.

With electric vehicle prices down, this summer may be the time to buy. Several brands are slashing lease prices as new EVs hit the market. New EVs like the Nissan Ariya are on a fire sale with lease prices under $200 per month this August. Check out all the EVs available to lease for under $200 below.

With up to $13,000 off MSRP, Nissan’s fully electric Ariya is cheaper to lease than ever. After introducing new summer discounts, the 2024 Nissan Ariya lease prices are nearly identical to the Rogue. It’s even more affordable to lease than last year’s Ariya model.

Electric vehicle prices have come down significantly, with the top five most affordable EVs in Q1 all selling for under $41,000. Two Nissan EVs topped the list, while Hyundai, Tesla, and Toyota electric models rounded out the top five.

Nissan is slashing prices on its first global electric SUV. The 2024 Nissan Ariya now starts at $39,995, with a lower starting price on all trims.

Nissan has announced a new performance trim level of the Ariya at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2024 show this week: Meet the Ariya NISMO. It’s a more powerful, sporty, and body kit-clad version of the company’s only modern BEV offering and, for now, it will be limited to sale in the Japanese market.

After nearly nine months on the road, an all-electric Nissan Ariya has become the first vehicle ever, gas or electric, to drive all the way from North to South pole, piloted by Chris Ramsey of Plug in Adventures and his wife Julie.

After a slow start, Nissan is ramping up output of its first electric SUV. Nissan’s new Intelligent Factory, where the Nissan Ariya is built, is finally running smoothly.

The Nissan Ariya earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) 2023 Top Safety Pick+ designation. Nissan’s electric SUV earned the agency’s highest rating with a strong crash test performance, headlight evaluation, and advanced safety tech.

After cutting prices, the Nissan Ariya is being offered with leases as low as $199 per month. (Find local dealers here.) At these rates, Nissan’s electric SUV could currently be one of the best-value EVs to lease.

Nissan is recalling certain 2023 Ariya electric SUVs over defective inverter software that can cause the vehicle to shut down unexpectedly.

Could it be? The Nismo EV we’ve been waiting for? A sleek Nissan Ariya prototype was spotted at the Nurburgring recently, featuring several Nismo-like design features.

In a world where electric vehicles are rapidly entering the norm, Nissan is catching up to the pack with the Ariya crossover. Nissan is setting their sights on impressing the newcomer to the market, and I think they will.

Although the car came out some time ago, we’re spending a proper week with the Ariya. It’s safe to say that Nissan has made a decent electric competitor, and for the city-bound crossover, the Ariya is a compelling offer. Alone, it’s not enough to convince me that Nissan is ahead in the EV race, but they are still in the game.

Last year, we reported on an electric Nissan Ariya that would make a trip from the magnetic North Pole to the South Pole manned by Chris Ramsey of Plug in Adventures and his wife Julie, who were also the first to complete the Mongol Rally in an EV in 2017. The vehicle will be the first of any kind – gas or electric – to manage this feat.

The couple is now well along the way through their trip, and we caught up with them in Southern California to see how things are going.

Nissan’s first electric SUV, the 2023 Ariya, is already outselling the decade-old LEAF EV after going on sale last fall.

This week, Nissan invited a select group of writers up to Wine Country to test drive the pre-production models of its all-electric 2023 Ariya crossover SUV. This was my first experience in the Ariya and I was excited at the opportunity to try out Nissan’s AWD e-4ORCE technology. It did not disappoint. These upcoming Ariya EVs deserve a look as a viable EV option loaded with standard features you won’t find in many of its competitor’s EVs, but the automaker may still have trouble standing out from the pack.

Despite Nissan recently announcing it will boost efforts to bring electric vehicles to market, production of the automaker’s first electric SUV, the Nissan Ariya, is running one-third short of planned.

Following an NHSTA investigation into two cases of the Tesla Model Y’s steering wheel falling off, Nissan is dealing with a similar issue. The Japanese automaker is recalling over 1,000 Ariya electric SUVs citing that the “steering wheel can detach from the steering column.”

Nissan is slashing prices on its first electric SUV, the Nissan Ariya, in China to remain competitive in the booming Chinese electric vehicle market.
