2025 Nissan ARIYA Consumer Reviews
Pricing
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.

Amazing Vehicle
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.

An overlooked gem
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.

Ariya is Amazing
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.

Love it...
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 !!!
