2023 Nissan ARIYA Evolve+ 4dr SUV (electric DD)
13 of 16 people found this review helpful
We went in to buy a Rogue and left with an Ayira. Ended up with the Evolve+ trim line in the super cool North Lights color that will change colors in different light. Had not planned on making the EV change yet so we had to scramble to make the needed adjustments at home with charging. The car is so easy to drive and makes a great daily driver as you will be less fatigued due to the ease of driving the Ayira. The dealership needs to spend more time educating new owners on how to use the EV. Our first stop at a charging station was super interesting as we could not figure out how to get the charger off the car. Overall we love the car. We are getting about 300 miles on a full charge.

Edmunds Got It Wrong

2023 Nissan Ariya Engage Review: A Gem of Practicality and Luxury The Practical Transition to EVs The Nissan Ariya debuted in 2022 as Nissan's flagship electric crossover, and the 2023 model builds on that foundation with thoughtful updates. While some reviewers, including Edmunds, have focused heavily on software imperfections, this overlooks Ariya’s practicality, robust design, and competitive edge in the EV market. As someone who drives the 2023 Ariya Engage daily, I find it a gem of practicality, luxury, and efficiency. Build Quality and Durability The 2023 Ariya demonstrates exceptional build quality. My vehicle has survived two rear-end collisions with minimal repair costs ($5,000–$6,000), while the other vehicles involved were totaled. This underscores Ariya’s sturdy design and attention to safety. Transitioning from ICE to EV The Ariya was thoughtfully designed to ease drivers' transition from internal combustion engines (ICE) to EVs. Unlike many EVs that rely exclusively on touchscreens, the Ariya incorporates both physical buttons and digital interfaces, providing a user-friendly experience. This is particularly valuable for those hesitant to adopt touchscreen-heavy systems like Tesla’s. Range and Charging Performance The Ariya’s range flexibility is impressive. While Nissan recommends charging promptly when the battery reaches 0%, my experience suggests the vehicle retains enough range for emergency situations, offering up to 50 additional miles under conservative driving conditions. This is supported by Nissan's regenerative braking system, which efficiently recaptures energy during deceleration. Charging the Ariya is straightforward and efficient: 20%-80% Charge Time: Approximately 30 minutes using a 125kW fast charger. Peak Charging Rate: Capped at 130kW, designed to preserve battery health. Charging Curve: Unlike competitors, the Ariya maintains its charging arc longer, reducing overall charge time. These features make the Ariya a practical choice for daily commutes and longer trips. Driving Experience and Safety The Ariya’s one-pedal driving mode is a highlight. It slows the car to 6 mph, at which point the driver uses the physical brakes to prevent brake seizing (an issue observed in early Tesla models) and keep drivers engaged with the road. This thoughtful design prioritizes both safety and awareness. The ProPILOT Assist 2.0 system adds another convenience layer by enhancing lane-keeping and adaptive cruise control functionality. However, Nissan advises caution when relying solely on these features, as driver input remains essential. Edmunds’ Review: What They Missed Edmunds criticized Ariya's software and found it lacking compared to competitors. While there is room for improvement in the interface’s responsiveness, this critique downplays Ariya's core strengths: Build Quality: Edmunds overlooked Ariya’s robust construction, which outclasses many competitors. Charging Curve Efficiency: Ariya’s ability to sustain its charging arc for longer periods is a key advantage that received little attention. Practical Luxury: The sleek design, premium materials, and Lexus-like aesthetic were understated in their review. Conclusion: A Strong Contender The 2023 Nissan Ariya Engage excels in areas where practicality and luxury intersect. At $44,000, it competes with other EVs like the Tesla Model Y and Honda Prologue and luxury brands like Porsche and BMW. Passengers frequently mistake my Ariya for a high-end luxury vehicle, and its performance often surpasses expectations. The Ariya isn’t perfect, but it doesn’t need to be. For the average driver transitioning to an EV, it’s a dependable, efficient, and stylish choice that stands out in the growing EV landscape. Nissan has successfully created an EV that balances innovation with user-friendliness, making it a worthy consideration for anyone entering the electric market. FYI: Insurance companies list it as a "wagon," which saves money.

2023 Nissan ARIYA Engage 4dr SUV (electric DD)

We got the base engage model as it was the only one available in stock and it's really nice! The drive is amazingly smooth. It does take some getting use to for the new type of stick shift and takes some time to explore all the features. I do wish the side mirrors were heated since it already has electric wires through it for the autoclose function. The phone slot in the center console is still there but doesn't do anything. It's originally for the wireless charging capability but the base model doesn't come with it. Storage is minimal. The center console is GIANT and it's cool that it moves but it does cut into the backseat leg room and I wonder what's in there? For such a huge console, there is zero storage in it. Maybe some coins when you open it.

2023 Nissan ARIYA Evolve+ 4dr SUV (electric DD)
5 of 6 people found this review helpful
I have 1,500miles on my Ariya Evolve + and really like it a lot. Its a very comfortable car with great range (typically 310+ miles) and great acceleration. The default driving mode is "Normal" but there is a "Sport" driving mode for fast acceleration. Its very stable cornering - flat actually - and I like the firmer ride. There is amazing clearance underneath as well as there is great visibility all around. The storage is average - but not bad. The seating is spacious including seat heaters, steering wheel heater, and very sensitive climate controls. The instruments (contrary to the buzz above) is simple and non obtrusive. No HUGE screens here - big enough -but out of the way - which I love. The Head Up Display is amazing - everything in front of you on the lower windshield - and the NAV on Head Up works well. All connections work including SiriusXM as well as the standard AM/FM. Independent media (like wireless Apple Carplay and Bluetooth) are great. Speakers sound really nice Everyone in my family loves the car and we all have driving experience with Tesla. Price wise - its mid point pricing. And it has a sunroof !!!

2023 Nissan ARIYA Premiere 4dr SUV (electric DD)

Got my Premier edition in January 2023 and I can only say it was well worth the wait. I've had it for over a year and a half and I am still impressed! It is incredibly smooth, nimble and fun to drive. Nissan incorporated a lot of technology and it is easy to learn and use. Very roomy, quiet, comfortable and stylish inside. The two driving screens are easy to see, manipulate and manage without distracting from the drive. If you can get a model with ProPilot 2.0 it is well worth it. Took like 5 minutes to get the hang of and it drives the car hands free really well. At first I thought the back storage might be too small, but it fit everything I had in my larger previous SUV with room to spare. I have met a few other owners and we all share the same consensus - it is a great vehicle! PS: I don't know why Edmunds doesn't give this vehicle its due. I drove some of those which rank higher and in no way are they better EVs than Ariya.
