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 equipmentWe reckon this entry-level trim is all you could ever need because it’s packed with standard equipment that includes 19in alloy wheels, full LED lights, a heated front windscreen, an electronic tailgate, automatic dual-zone climate control, a heat pump, heated front seats, ProPilot autonomous driving, front and rear parking sensors, a 360-degree camera, auto-parking ability, a 12.3in digital driver display, a 12.3in touchscreen infotainment system with DAB radio, built-in sat nav, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone mirroring and Amazon Alexa/Google integration and wireless phone-charging.
The engine
See full engine specsThe larger 87kWh battery is available with front or four-wheel drive. This is the front-wheel drive version and it looks to be nippy enough, with a 0-62mph time of 7.5 seconds.
