Engaged to My Ariya

I’ve only had my Ariya Engage for a week and a half, but I really like it so far. It drives really smoothly, has a ton of safety features even for being the low end Engage model. Took advantage of the Nissan Motors cash back and 2.99% financing offers to purchase the car. Go see Jessica at King Windward Nissan in Kaneohe for great customer service!

Amazing car for the money

2023 Nissan ARIYA Engage e-4ORCE 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)

I did a lot of research on EV’s for overall features and driving experience and not using overall range as a major criteria. Everything I’ve read about the Aryia made me intrigued over all the other models. At least with the all-wheel-drive system like I have, it is quite possibly the best powertrain I’ve ever experienced. Car feels very luxurious anytime I’m in and I don’t wanna get out of it honestly when I get to my destination. Every car has pluses and minus and annoying quirks. You just have to find out what they are and if you’re willing to overlook them or live with them. Now is the perfect time to buy one of these just as they are coming off a 12 month lease you cannot go wrong if you can afford it then buy new.

An overlooked gem

2023 Nissan ARIYA Platinum+ e-4ORCE 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful

2023 Ariya Platinum+ AWD, Copper/Blue - Very quiet, well equipped, powerful, comfortable, and capable. The Ariya is a great size and drives very well in dry, wet, and snowy conditions. I find the exterior to be stunning and beautiful to look at day or night. The ride is very well balanced without being too soft or too stiff. I appreciate the features and technology that are integrated nicely and feel well thought out and not pieced together. The cabin layout and controls are easy to access. The interior feels and loos upscale to many of the competitors. While the max charging rate is below some of the competitors, it's adequate even during road trips. When traveling, I'm often charging at locations that offer food and amenities, so 30-40 mins works fine for me. At home charging is also not an issue since charging is done overnight while sleeping. Forward lighting at night is good although I would like to see corner lighting in future updates to provide additional lighting into the corners like driveways and dark intersections. Visibility from the driver's seat is also very good. The gear selector feels counter-intuitive (pull back to go forward and push forward to go back), but becomes habit over time. This vehicle seems to be overlooked by many EV shoppers which is a shame given the luxury-like feel and features offered in the Ariya. I highly recommend test driving and exploring this when shopping.

Subpar Cooling Performance and Disruptive Charging

Jean, 08/30/2023
2023 Nissan ARIYA Premiere 4dr SUV (electric DD)
6 of 18 people found this review helpful

The 2023 Nissan Ariya presents notable drawbacks in its air conditioning system and charging noise. Amid scorching Arizona temperatures, the air conditioning's lukewarm output fails to meet cooling needs, causing discomfort during triple-digit heat. Additionally, the overly loud engine noise while charging raises concerns about potential mechanical issues, unsettling drivers. Despite multiple dealer visits, these problems persist and have been acknowledged as common by the manufacturer, who cites ongoing engineering efforts to address the issues. Given these concerns, those seeking relief from the problematic experience may face challenges in reaching a resolution without impacting their existing financial commitments.

Not up to par of other EVs

2023 Nissan ARIYA Empower+ 4dr SUV (electric DD)
5 of 18 people found this review helpful

I test drove a FWD version. Gutless and lots of torque steer. Why FWD... I'll never know with all that weight. Roof rails are not available, so crossbars must be clipped in door frames. No place for installing a class II hitch. Interior is rather plain. Exterior, however, is sharp looking. Has one of the best HUD.

Car is new to me but I’m impressed with the fit and finish and the ride quality. The power train is smooth with plenty of power.

Two core aspects of a car are very important to me. How the car drives and how it looks. The Ariya drives like a champ and has fantastic acceleration and great cornering and steering feel. The looks are impressive inside and out and seems like a luxury sporty vehicle. Charging little slow but no bother as I charge up at night. Plenty of room for stuff and has a really neat tray that when you push a button comes out the dash. Also, the car has what I call a safety shield and really gives you some super casters features. You will not be disappointed with this car as it is solid and sharp looking with plenty of neat features.

I own this car since October 2023 and I am totally satisfied compared to my previous Honda Clarity and Mustang Mach E. A better built vehicule with a fast charging rate. I highly recommend it.

Very uncomfortable and not an SUV

This car is awfully uncomfortable. There is a huge useless center console and bulky door armrests that squeeze you tightly between them that the seatbelt buckle pinches your hip. The console has absolutely no storage and it’s unclear what purpose it serves since there is no storage space in it except a phone charger that works 50% of the time. The trunk floor is so high and the rear hatch slopes down so low you really don’t have any SUV functionality so they shouldn’t really call this an SUV. Lastly, the ride is awful and you feel every bump like the car doesn’t have any suspension. UPDATE: I only leased this car when the lease on my Leaf expired and because it was the cheapest car I could get. The car has horrible ride and you feel every bump in the road. For a large car, the driver seat is surprisingly small and hemmed in on both sides by large door handles and an obtrusive center console that doesn't have any useful storage space. Headroom is terrible and I'm not even 5'7" becuase the headliner with the moonroof cuts deep down and the seats do not lower far enough to the floor. Since evertything in the car is run through the infotainment screen, it's very difficult to live with becuase the infotainment screen is slow and prone to glitches all the time. In some weeks I reboot the screen at least once a day. And forget about trying to use wireless carplay - it will work when it wants to but most often won't even connect. The center console that moves front to back is a joke. There is no room to store anything besides a cell phone. The cupholders are not large enough to put a larger water bottle in and there are no other places to store items, except a small motorized tray or secret compartment (depending on how you look at it). The trunk has a false floor that hides a tremendous amount of empty space that is presumably there to hold a nonexistent spare tire. I removed the false floor to expand the space. If I didn't get a cheap lease on this car, I would never have gotten it and can not recommend it to anyone.
