Nissan Ariya Lease

Much like the rest of the Nissan family, the Ariya sports a boxy looking exterior that is styled with sharp lines and angles, bearing similarities to the ever-popular Qashqai and taking inspiration from the innovative yet far more compact Leaf.  

First, let’s look at the performance of Ariya. The Ariya is available in four different trims, 63kWh Advance (with or without Sky Pack), 87kWh Evolve, e-4orce 87kWh Evolve, and e-4orce 87kWh Performance. The entry-level trim achieves an impressive 223 miles of range on a single charge, with the mid trim, Evolve, achieving a remarkable 310 miles on its 87kWh liquid cooled battery. No matter your choice of trim you will experience a profound performance, and with all four trims charging 20% - 80% in 30 minutes on a 130 kWh charger, which equates to around 186 miles of charge, range anxiety is eliminated. 

A 5-door, 5-seater the Ariya is a spacious SUV crossover that offers up plentiful space for both driver and passengers. Storage is in abundance, with up to 466 litres of boot space on offer with the seats up depending on your choice of trim, plus additional storage compartments. The back seats fold in a 60:40 fashion so you can easily extend the boot space without losing all the rear seat room. Additionally, the design evidently prioritises comfort, with features like heated front seats and dual climate control, making driving the Ariya a joy. 

The joy isn’t only in the comfort of the Ariya, but in the infotainment details, Nissan has provided. As standard across all four trims, you will be entertained by the 12.3” TFT screen and 12.3” Navigation screen with all the expected features, wireless Apple CarPlay and cabled Android Auto compatibility, wireless phone charger and front and rear USB connection. If you opt for a higher trim like the Evolve or e-4orce Performance, your EV will also be equipped with 10 BOSE speakers to really enhance that entertainment value. 

Nissan is renowned for its safety features, with other models frequently scoring 5 stars on NCAP safety review. Ariya is well-equipped with attributes to keep you safe on the road such as Intelligent Driver Alertness, Intelligent Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Intervention, Traffic Sign Recognition, Cruise Control, front and rear emergency braking with pedestrian recognition to name a few. 

The Nissan Ariya is set to be an EV trailblazer, but if you want to shop similar models, look into the Kia EV6 or Skoda Enyaq IV.
