Price Range: $39,770 - $54,370

Below Average

Reasonable prices, a comfortable and modern interior, a smooth ride, and compatibility with Tesla Supercharger stations make the 2025 Nissan Ariya appealing. Unfortunately, the Ariya is otherwise underwhelming, particularly in regard to its technology interface and driving experience.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Christian Wardlaw

3/9/2026

Nissan led the automotive industry with the original Leaf electric car, which offered a reasonable driving range at a reasonable price. It took the company more than a decade to issue a follow-up, and when the Nissan Ariya arrived in 2023, it rolled into a crowd of similarly sized electric SUVs instead of setting new standards. Nevertheless, the Ariya has an appealing design, a modern and comfortable interior, and a smooth and quiet ride. The driving range meets expectations, and the Ariya is quick if not fast. What's missing is a compelling reason to choose this Nissan over its rivals.

Edmunds spotlight: How long does it take to charge a Nissan Ariya?

It takes longer to charge a Nissan Ariya than many other electric SUVs. According to Nissan, fully recharging the long-range battery takes 14 hours when using a 240-volt home charging station. At an appropriate public fast-charging station, Nissan says it will take about 40 minutes to get the battery charged from 10% to 80% capacity. That's certainly decent, but the rival Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 can potentially charge more quickly.

Competitors to consider

Numerous automakers are selling electric SUVs that compete with the Ariya. Our favorite models are the Chevrolet Equinox EV, Ford Mustang Mach-E and Hyundai Ioniq 5. Even the Subaru Solterra and Toyota bZ4X twins, which fall short regarding range, earn higher marks from our testing team. But if you're set on getting the Nissan, read our full Expert Rating to understand why we're underwhelmed.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Brian Wong

Below Average

5.5

out of 10

We drove the 2025 Nissan ARIYA on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

6.4/10

How does the Nissan ARIYA drive? The Nissan Ariya Platinum+ offers a smooth, comfortable driving experience, though it's not built for sporty performance. In our testing, the dual motors propelled the Ariya to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds — quick enough for daily driving but lacking the punch of some other EVs. Handling is fine for daily use, though it leans in corners and feels less stable during hard braking. Regenerative braking tapers off around 5-7 mph, requiring the brake pedal to come to a full stop — a true one-pedal driving mode would have been a nice addition.

Ride quality is excellent, with large tires absorbing bumps for a smooth experience. Visibility is solid, enhanced by features like a 360-degree camera system and a digital rearview mirror. The ProPilot 2.0 hands-free driving system works well but has quirks, like trouble detecting hands on the wheel and a $9.99 yearly fee for HD maps after three years. Driving aids are helpful, but some choices — like blind-spot monitoring only showing in the head-up display when adaptive cruise control is active — detract from the experience.

Comfort

7.6/10

How comfortable is the Nissan ARIYA? The Nissan Ariya offers a high level of comfort for both drivers and passengers. The front and rear seats are supportive and well cushioned, making long drives enjoyable. On the highway, the cabin remains impressively quiet, adding to the overall comfort. The climate control system is effective, quickly heating or cooling the cabin, and it even lets you turn off specific zones to save energy. However, some features like the seat heaters and coolers are controlled via the touchscreen instead of physical buttons, which can be less convenient.

The Ariya's interior is thoughtfully designed for ease of use. Drivers will find it simple to adjust their seating position, especially on higher trims with power steering wheel adjustments, although some may wish for extendable thigh support. Loading car seats is easy thanks to wide door openings and accessible LATCH anchors, though taller passengers might find the rear headroom limited due to the sloping roofline. Getting in and out is straightforward with the tall doors and a higher floor, giving the Ariya a true crossover feel without requiring a big step up. Its flat floor adds to the convenience, making it easy to move around inside.

In-cabin tech

7.1/10

How’s the tech? While the Ariya boasts a sleek, modern interior design, its technology features leave much to be desired. The dual 12.3-inch screens for the instrument cluster and infotainment system are adequately sized for today's standards, but the outdated software undermines their potential. Navigating through the on-screen menus feels cumbersome and unintuitive, making it difficult to find what you need.

Apple CarPlay comes with wireless connectivity, but Android Auto requires a wired connection. Using voice controls to enter navigation destinations is more aggravating than helpful, too. The Ariya does include features such as a smartphone app, a digital phone key, and a wireless charging pad and rear USB-C ports for keeping devices juiced up.

Buying Tips for the 2025 Nissan ARIYA for March

Here are some buying and negotiating tips for the 2025 Nissan ARIYA:

The Edmunds True Market Value for the 2025 Nissan ARIYA shows that buyers are generally paying about 8% less than the sticker price. This translates to savings of over $3,700 across the model's price range, offering a good opportunity to negotiate a lower price.
The Evolve+ e-4ORCE trim particularly stands out with significant savings. Buyers are typically paying around 8.5% less than the MSRP, which is a noticeable discount. This makes the Evolve+ e-4ORCE a great choice if you're looking to maximize your savings.
If you're considering leasing, the median monthly lease payment for the ARIYA is around $911 with about $3,911 due at signing for a 36-month term. It's a good idea to compare these numbers with offers from different dealerships to ensure you're getting the best deal.
There's relatively low new inventory for certain trims, with only a few units available nationwide. If you've got your eye on a specific trim, it’s wise to contact local dealerships soon to reserve one before they're gone.

Was this information helpful?

Storage & cargo

2.7/10

How’s storage and cargo? The Ariya offers 27.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, expanding to 59.7 cubic feet with them folded. Most competitors in its class offer more space, but it's enough for groceries or luggage on longer trips. Interior storage for smaller items in the Ariya is limited. The motorized center console leaves the bin too small for more than a tin of mints, and the fold-out bin under the screen, though innovative, is slow to open and offers little space. The open area between the front seats also lacks secure storage, letting bags or purses slide around while driving.

Towing is another weak spot, with the Ariya maxing out at 1,500 pounds, far less than competitors like the Tesla Model Y (3,500 pounds) and Hyundai Ioniq 5 (2,300 pounds).

Value

6.4/10

Is the Nissan ARIYA a good value? The Ariya's value proposition is decent as a base model but gets steadily worse in the more expensive trim levels. A loaded-up Ariya is a bit of a hard sell considering many other EVs in the same range simply do it better.

For most of the Ariya's components, it has the same warranty as other Nissan vehicles, which is unremarkable: three years/36,000 miles for bumper-to-bumper and five years/60,000 miles for the powertrain. The automaker covers the battery for eight years/100,000 miles, the same as other EVs.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Range/Efficiency/Charging

3.8/10

How are the range and efficiency? The EPA estimates that an Ariya has the most range with the large battery pack and single motor with 289 miles on a single charge. Our dual-motor test vehicle had a lower 257-mile estimate. We ran it on our standardized real-world Edmunds EV Range Test, and we managed a slightly better 265 miles. This is an average distance for a small dual-motor electric SUV.

We also measured its efficiency, finding that our test vehicle used 36.3 kWh of electricity for every 100 miles driven. Other dual-motor EVs we've tested, such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Ford Mustang Mach-E and Volkswagen ID.4, were more efficient than the Ariya. When it's time to charge at a public DC fast-charging station, Nissan says the Ariya is capable of charging at up to 130 kW, going from 20% to 80% capacity in 40 minutes with the extended-range battery. That's pretty slow compared to today's offerings.

X factor

3/10

We had high hopes for the Ariya. Nissan's Leaf was a pioneer of affordable EVs, and you'd think the company's expertise would set the Ariya up for success. Alas, this EV comes across as underdeveloped and even a bit dull. It's not particularly enjoyable to drive, and even the styling is a bit run-of-the-mill.

2025 Nissan ARIYA trim level differences

The 2025 Nissan Ariya is available in Engage, Engage+, Evolve+ and Platinum+ trim levels. The base Engage model is the only Ariya with a 63-kWh battery pack. The others have a long-range 87-kWh battery, denoted by the "+" in their trim level names. Compare the 2025 Nissan ARIYA trim levels in-depth.

Which ARIYA trim does Edmunds recommend?

In the 2025 Ariya lineup, the Evolve+ is our recommendation for its driving range, availability with front- or all-wheel drive, and several convenience and safety features that make it easier to live with and more pleasurable to drive.

Comfortable, quick, quiet and feature-packed!

Peter R., 05/17/2023

2023 Nissan ARIYA Engage 4dr SUV (electric DD)

The trim levels are a bit confusing, but if you're looking to get the most value for your money, I would go with the Engage version. It stickers at $44K, has 216 miles of range and includes: heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, heads-up display, radar adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, power folding outside mirrors and much more! It also has a … pretty decent sound system. I really enjoyed driving it, finding the Ariya to be quiet, comfortable and fun to drive. I think Nissan did a great job with this car. My only caveat is that the top-end Platinum e-4orce stickers at $63K, which is a lot of money, especially compared to other similar cars from Audi, BMW, Hyundai, Genesis and Volvo. 6/5/23 UPDATE: Well, I bought my Ariya Engage in Deep Ocean Blue with the Light Gray interior and I couldn't be happier! I did my research and test drove most of the competitors. Here are the ones I drove with a brief impression: BMW i4 - beautiful car, but about $10K more than the Ariya and a little too low to the ground for me, Ford Mustang Mach-E - very nice with a great sound system, but seats were a little difficult to adjust and I didn't like the all-glass roof that has no sun shade, Hyundai Ioniq5 - beautiful car that would have been my choice except for the lower seating position, and the firm seat back bolsters that pressed into my back, Kia EV6 - very nice, but the interior felt cramped due to the low roofline, Kia Niro - another nice car but too much piano black plastic in the interior and a somewhat jittery ride, Toyota bZ4x - nice car, but the interior had a lot of cheap looking black plastic, and the instrument pod obscures part of the windshield, VW id.4 - poorly designed controls, and slow screen response, with more copious black plastic in the interior. Back to the Ariya: I've been seeing a range of 240 miles on a full charge, which is higher than the EPA rating of 216 miles. The car is beautiful to look at, inside and out, and is so comfortable to drive. The interior ambient lighting is soothing and pretty, designed to resemble a Japanese lantern, very different from the ambient lighting in other cars. The seats have a number of adjustments and are very comfortable. The sound system is excellent, better than I expected! I really like the power operated center console that allows us shorter drivers (I'm 5'8") to find a comfortable position for the center armrest. The car has lots of tech features and many adjustments, but it's not overwhelming. Spend some time with the owner's manual and you'll be glad you did. I highly recommend the Ariya! 09/05/23 UPDATE: Well, three months later, and I'm still loving my Ariya! I'm really impressed with the efficiency: consistently using e-Step and ECO mode, I've been seeing a predicted range of 250-272 miles, which is outstanding considering the car is rated by the EPA at 216 miles. I've heard of other EVs not meeting their EPA range estimates, but that hasn't been the case with the Ariya. This car is so quiet and comfortable that it is my "go-to" car, despite the fact that I also have a new Mercedes GLC. So, after living with the car for three months, I have noticed a few annoyances, all minor. First, the driver's door armrest is VERY low on the door and creates an awkward driving position if you use both the driver's door and the center armrests. Second, the light at the charging port faces outward rather than facing the charging doors, so in some conditions, it's difficult to see the port. Third, and lastly, I wish Nissan had darkened the rear door windows, as do almost all other SUVs. It would make the car cooler on hot, sunny days, and it enhances the appearance. Those are my gripes. Otherwise, I'm still very happy with my Ariya and always look forward to driving it! 05/30/24 Update: One year and 7K miles later and I still love my Ariya! I recently brought it to the Nissan dealer for its one-year maintenance, which basically consisted of rotating the tires, at no charge. Overall, this car has been problem-free and dependable. A few times, the infotainment screen has gone blank, but it only lasts for a few seconds and then it comes back. I only charge it at home and have not taken it on any long road trips. As for range, in the warmer months, I see a predicted range of 260-280 miles (283 was the highest), and in the colder months, it drops to 180-200, still not bad considering it is EPA rated at 216 miles of range. After a year of owning this wonderful car, I still see very few on the road here in MA, which is probably due to low sales. People should really drive this car to experience how comfortable, quiet, responsive and substantial it is, before buying an id.4, Ioniq5, Mach-e, or other similar EV. Nissan recently lowered the prices on the Ariya, so that should help increase sales. I'm really happy with this car and can't recommend it highly enough! 5/31/25 UPDATE: Two years and 10K miles later and I'm still loving my Ariya! I have not had any problems or issues, so there hasn't been any down time. No rattles or other indication that the build quality has degraded in any way. It's still very quiet, comfortable and efficient. Some of my favorite features, other than the ones I've already mentioned: the welcome lighting as you approach the car, the auto up/down window switches on all four windows, the excellent headlights that illuminate the road ahead but don't seem to be blinding to oncoming cars. I've never had anyone flash their lights at me, and there is even a headlight leveling adjustment on the dash. Dislikes: other than the few I've already mentioned, the one thing I will concede is that the ride can be choppy and unsettled on rough roads. Otherwise, I'm still very happy with my Ariya!

We have a limited number of reviews for the 2025 Nissan ARIYA, so we've included review for other years of the ARIYA since its last redesign.
