2024 Nissan Ariya
Starting at $40.980
Highs: More competitive than the Leaf ever was, livable driving range, Nissan's most daring interior.
Lows: Lacks driving excitement, slower maximum DC fast-charge rate than many competitors, begs for a performance version.
Verdict: It's a competitive EV world out there, but the Ariya plays it cool-maybe even a little too cool.
Overview
As the fully-electric Nissan Leaf reaches the end of its cord, the new Ariya plugs in. The Ariya is vastly superior to the outgoing Leaf in terms of space, range, power, and style. For starters, the Ariya is available in front- and all-wheel drive flavors, with an EPA-estimated range between 265 and 304 miles. Offered with either of two battery packs, the Ariya is a smooth operator whose feistiest output maxes out at 389 horsepower. While its interior is arguably Nissan's most elegant to date, complete with wood-trim pieces and haptic buttons on the dashboard, the Ariya doesn't offer much in terms of excitement. Plus, it's maximum DC-fast charging rate of 130 kW is lame compared to rivals such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and KIa EV6 which can recharge much quicker at up to 230 kW.
What's New for 2024?
Nissan makes no significant changes to the all-electric Ariya for 2024, but it is instituting price cuts across the lineup for the new model year.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2024 Nissan Ariya starts at $40.980 and goes up to $55.580 depending on the trim and options.
Engage: $40,980
Venture+: $42,580
Evolve+: $45,580
Engage+: $46,580
Empower+: $49,080
Platinum+: $55,580
The Ariya's starting price puts it above the Leaf and other affordable EVs but under the base price of the Tesla Model Y. But the entry-level Ariya Engage comes with a smaller battery pack and a lower 216-mile estimated driving range than other trims. We're of the mindset that to successfully switch from gasoline to electricity, range is key, so we'd go with the Venture+ trim, which boasts the longest driving range among the Ariya's four trim levels at 304 miles per charge.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Unlike the soon-to-be discontinued Leaf, which comes only with front-wheel drive, Nissan is pulling from features developed in other cars, including the GT-R sports car's torque-split system, to offer optional all-wheel drive via a dual-front/rear-electric-motor configuration. The front-wheel drive model we tested hit 60 mph in 7.5 seconds but the more powerful e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive Ariya is significantly quicker. At our test track, the e-4ORCE Platinum+ zipped from zero to 60 mph in 5.0 seconds, a feat that is similar to higher-end electric vehicles. From what we've experienced so far, the Ariya provides a calm, stable ride that should please most buyers, but it lacks the sporty nature driving enthusiasts prefer.
