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!

I have owned a Platinum two motor Ariya a year and a half and it continues to be a solid car with no problems. It is quick and the range has been true to estimates. I am a big guy and the space is better than the other EVs I tested. Getting to settings on menus can be confusing, but speech recognition and ApplePlay work well. It can be quick and fun or easily carry four in comfort, and you can slow down and extend the range. I am certain the software will improve and they will adjust e-step- I didn’t own a LEAF so I didn’t have expectations from that perspective. Don’t judge it by the entry model and try it and judge for yourself. Only real complaint is Bose stereo option doesn't deliver the sound quality it should and the public charging network is hit or mess in terms of availability or reliability - mostly charge at home where we have solar and tesla battery so no cost to charge overall. Finally, Nissan cut a few corners they shouldn’t have - the mesh plastic covers are cool but could be more durable and the rear seats should have adjustable recline - finally check out headrests my wife is shorter and it pushed her head forward - it should be adjustable forward and back. I like the car but regret the bottom has fallen out of the EV market.

2023 Nissan ARIYA Evolve+ 4dr SUV (electric DD)
19 of 20 people found this review helpful
We purchased the Evolve trim in June. I actual enjoy driving this car. So smooth. Great acceleration when needed. Our model has the wireless charger between the seats. Heads up display is a great feature which I've never had before. Car is very roomy. Cargo space could be better but it's adequate for general use. Car range is supposed to be 290. When we first got it, it was showing 330. I'm sure this is going to very greatly depending on climate. We are in Arizona and because the AC was running basically full blast constantly and also the car would have to keep the battery cooler when it was very hot outside, our actual range was probably around 250. I expect it to be around 300 in the late fall and winter here. We only charge at home so far. You can charge it 220 or 110 and we just plug it right into a regular outlet. We have an Explorer if we drive out of town. For now, it is just an around town car and that works great for us. Combined with the solar plan we have (which is .05/KW on Peak) a 0-100 charge would only cost about $4.50.

Long term rental, previous driven low end EVs

I've been driving the entry level Ariya for about 3 weeks now. Overall a clear upgrade to the previous compact EVs I own(ed). Very quiet, roomy, my kids love the looks. One thing I want to mention and that many competitors charge extra for is the heated steering wheel, thank you Nissan that is very thoughtful for cold winter mornings. Many reviews have listed the nice features, here is my list of possible improvements. 1. The hatch is really hard to close. Not motorized and if you are short and light weight, have fun trying. 2. Audio! There is no option I would have found to adjust low and/or high frequencies (equalizer style). Depending on the source, the sound can be great or a lot less than great, c'mon this is still a $44k car. 3. One-pedal driving, could not find on option to make this my default when starting the car, WHY NOT? 4. Expected better mileage in the city, not much difference to freeway. If you are heavy footed, 200 miles range is a challenge or something like wishful thinking. 5. I turn the AC sometimes on, sometimes off, after all it eats lots of miles, there is no AC button, only in a sub-menu of Heating :(. Along the same lines, one air vent left, one on the right is all the driver / passengers can adjust for themselves. No center console air sources. 6. Then there is the thing with the absence of the TAX-credit, that would be the killer for me as the Ariya doesn't stand out otherwise. All of these reasons don't make the Ariya a bad car, it is a good car (hence 4-stars) and what stands out is the looks. If you want to drive a "bat-mobil" style of a car (mine is black), it sure looks cool! I would buy an Ariya well before I buy a Model Y but that is more related to personal reasons, can't buy a car that benefits the Tesla CEO even if I pay a bit extra.

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.

Ariya lives up to the hype

I'm one of the few lucky early reservationists for the Ariya who got the vehicle delivered in mid-December 2022. I placed the reservation all the way back in November 2021. The whole experience, with reserving the vehicle online until delivery, was really pleasant. Multiple times during the very long waiting period Nissan reached out to check on me, sent me a few Ariya branded swags (a branded tote bag, a Nissan t-shirt, a Ariya branded Yeti cup, and I think some other reservationists depending on time of order got an Oculus VR headset pre-loaded with a virtual Ariya experience game in it). Nissan also held an in-person driving experience event which allowed the reservationists to test drive the vehicles. Overall, it was a cool experience through the launch process. About the ownership so far, I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying the EV ownership. Nissan provides a 1-year free charging with EVgo network. That's a wonderful incentive over most of the competitions. My Ariya is a Premier trim with 2WD. Stated range with 100% SOC is ~320 miles. Actual driving miles is around 280 so far based on my driving experience. Being a new EV owner, I don't really know if this is good or bad yet in terms of efficiency compared to other competitors, I need more education on this, but it works for my needs so far. The interior of the Ariya is the highlight of the vehicle. I'm impressed with the large glass moon-roof, the ingress/egress power driver seat function, the wireless AppleCarPlay, the heated seats front and rear seats, heads-up display, camera-view rear mirror. And to me, the best feature is the ProPilot 2.0 that allows hands free driving on interstates and freeways. It makes driving so much less tiring/stressful. I don't know if I'll ever buy another daily driven vehicle without this feature. Overall, I'm loving the Ariya and I definitely recommend it to anyone.

I have the Ariya Platinum+ Eforce AWD. It is an amazing vehicle. All the bells and whistles make this car fun to drive. It handles well. The interior is beautiful and beyond comfortable and spacious. Pro Pilot self drive is truly amazing. Charging is easy and we get about 250 miles to a charge. Only con might be the price but to us it was well worth it.

Took the leap to electric since I can charge at my workplace. It’s by far the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. High tech yet approachable, great size, great handling and quickness. And I personally love the style. Feel more confident buying from the company that invented electric cars. They know longevity unlike some of its competitors.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Car looks great, initial drive is really nice. Dealer will tell you that you are going to get 240 miles per charge, time to charge the car (Level2 Charger) is between 8-10 hours...FALSE! After 2 months of owning the car - full charge is between 180-190 Miles. From full 0 to fill charge - 18 hours. Went to the dealer - they basically wash their hands. Bring it in for a service to see if they can help. They did what they can do but they dont know much as the electric car is new to them. They did the upgrades and still a challenge - Called Nissan Consumer affairs - waste of time. Now I need get a lawyer. Terrible!
Do not recommend Engage AWD

I would love to give this more stars because it is fun to drive but there is a very important issue with the car. That max it ever charged was 190. Not the 204 advertised. Now it maxes at 180 ONLY if we dont use any accessories. Very expensive car for 160 miles per charge if you want to use anything (just the radio) in the car. I brought it in for service because it got as low as 120 (at 44 degrees). Nissan said there is nothing wrong with any of those numbers so I take that as what you should expect for this car. Also random, has no pop trunk button inside the car or automatic lift gate. Update: returned the Ariya and purchased the Ford Mach-e. Love it

Tires suck. Nissan will not honor Tire warranty.

I bought a Nissan Aryia in 2023. This was the Platinum version around 60 thousand dollars fully loaded. Front wheel drive. Very bad on snow as the weight is in the center of the car so no benefit traction wise. Less than a week after I purchased this vehicle low tire warnings started going off. I filled the tires to door panel instructions almost weekly, but they kept leaking. I took the car back to Nissan and told them what was happening. The service manager said it was the altitude which we are at 6800 feet msl here and the car was made at sea level, so he said that was what was causing it. I called BS on that as I had filled it many times at this elevation, and they still leaked. He said to fill them to 50 psi each which was not the manufactures recommendation and technically would have been voiding the warranty. Why a service adviser would tell you to violate the vehicle specks is beyond me, but he did. This went on to a tune of 3 service visits and finally I had a tire completely fail. This left me stranded as The Aryia has no spare tire, jack or lug wrench to replace it manually. The morning of my 7500 service which by the way is only a tire rotation and nothing else one of the back tires went completely flat. These were Dunlop tires that the salesman pointed out were under warranty. What the salesman failed to mention was that it was a manufacture warranty they would not honor. So, had the car towed into Nissan which took the Nissan connect people 5 hours and 7 phone calls to reach me. The first call they said 59 minutes for arrival. when they did not show up a 2nd call was made, and they said they were busy so changed the arrival time to 2 hours. @ hours came and went another phone call and after that call I got a text that said driver was on scene which he was not. Text 4, driver on scene but was not. Call 5 operator said he will be there shortly and a hang up. Call 5 was to report driver finally this time did arrive on scene. Driver had a hard time loading my car as he was not familiar with how to put it in neutral. Driver asked me to get in car and drive it up on the inclined truck. Once vehicle came to 20-degree incline on the truck Car sent email saying car was being towed away. So, in conclusion. The tires they put on their vehicles and sell along with the car to the customer and provide a warranty that they do not cover is worthless. They do not sell the car with a spare tire or a way to repair the tire if one should fail. This is a 60 K plus car that is sold with cheap defective tires with no warranty that they will cover but they brag that it has a tire warranty. So, the car has 4 failed to hold air tires that they will not prorate for replacement. This will be my last Nissan as I do not trust Nissan or their vehicles.

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.

280 mile range, very clean interior layout. It's got every feature imaginable. Very roomy interior, back seat and trunk.
Cutest thing!,

It's hard to know who this car was intended for, but as an experienced EV driver I know it wasn't made for me. The menus are poorly laid out and nested, made more frustrating by the fact Nissan has good menus in other cars. You can't disable creep, which again is more frustrating because in previous EV's you could. The dash doesn't have the ability to give detailed info, it's dumbed down to an unfortunate level with no ability to be better. And worst of all, it's a pain to drive. The posts and rear windshield reduce your vision an unfortunate amount, the backup camera is too exposed so it gets covered the moment it rains, the motors are way to weak for the weight of the car so it accelerates slowly. The suspension is poorly tuned so it feels lose to the body. The lane assist feature fought me at least three separate times, once at a stop light. The Leaf's lane assist has always been exactly what I expected it to be, and the Ariya's felt like it wanted to kill me. It's a very comfortable car, but it's not a hotel room, it's a car, and it fails at the car portion of the test.

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!

Subpar Cooling Performance and Disruptive Charging
Jean, 08/30/2023
2023 Nissan ARIYA Premiere 4dr SUV (electric DD)

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.

The worst battery technology ever

I purchased a Nissan Ariya with a promised range of 230 miles. However, when winter arrived in Massachusetts, despite fully charging at 100%, the car only shows 150 miles of range. When I had the car inspected, I was told there is no error code, and this is by design. Given the consistently cold weather in Massachusetts, I find myself stuck with a car that severely limits my activities. While it boasts style and comfort, it's essentially restricted to basic trips. A word of caution: don't invest in a Nissan; regret is inevitable. It may look good and be comfortable, but it's practically useless for anything beyond a quick trip to the store. Don't waste your money."

Not up to par of other EVs

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.

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.

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.
Drives like your in a bouncey house

Never driven a car that drives like I’m in a bouncey house. Every little dip in the road results in the car bouncing up and down. After braking the car shifts front to back and back to front like I’m in a boat. Both bumpers are plastic. This thing is a real dumpster fire. 57k msrp! It’s going right back to the dealer.
