The model
Read full reviewAs Nissan’s first electric SUV, the Ariya is a solid effort. It’s easy to drive, the interior is spacious and the quality impressive, and the strong residual values should make it a tempting choice on PCP finance. It’s just a shame that the boot isn’t all that big and that some rivals have longer ranges and the ability to charge up more quickly.
The trim
See full equipmentIf you want your Ariya to come with all the bells and whistles, Evolve trim takes everything you get with Advance trim then adds a glass panoramic sunroof, adaptive high-beam assist, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, synthetic leather and suede seats, a head-up display and an upgraded Bose stereo with 10-speakers.
The engine
See full engine specsNot especially rapid by electric car standards, but this entry-level front wheel drive version of the Ariya is more than brisk enough. It can do 0-62mph in around 7.5 seconds and has an official range of up to 251 miles.
