Meet The New Nissan ARIYA

Every vehicle manufacturer strives to create a car of the future, one that fulfils the expectations of their existing customers, attracts the interest of new ones, and meets the high environmental, safety and comfort standards set for, and expected from, modern vehicles. We think it’s safe to say that Japanese manufacturer Nissan has succeeded with the new Nissan ARIYA, a car of the future that has done so well in the present that Auto Express recently named it Car Of The Year 2022! 

The Nissan ARIYA drives into our lives as an all-electric crossover, and a family-sized SUV at that. On the market in two trim levels, Advance and Evolve, the ARIYA is designed for modern lifestyles and the growing number of drivers with eco concerns. It’s a mid-sized electric car with big ambitions! 

We’ve long been proud to represent Nissan here at EMG, and never more so than when the ARIYA was first revealed. Here’s what you need to know about this boundary-pushing car… 

A striking design 

What first registers when you come across the Nissan ARIYA is the sleek, minimal design, a new no-fuss approach to the Nissan look we’re used to. A single horizon line and thin LED headlights are just some of the subtle touches that melt away when you appreciate the car as a whole, but make it stand out enough for the inevitable double-take. It’s distinctive, without being overbearing; the mark of a future classic! 

Green credentials 

The ARIYA isn’t just a pretty face, and Nissan knows to back up a head-turning design with performance - after all, we are talking about the makers of the super popular Nissan LEAF.

Having worked hard to address charging speed and range concerns, Nissan has loaded the ARIYA with dual motors that deliver a comfortable, powerful drive, and provided customers with 3 different battery options to choose from:

2WD 63kWh - 250-mile range

2WD 87kWh - 329-mile range

e-4ORCE AWD 87kWh - 310 mile range

A home charging point is highly recommended with the Nissan ARIYA, and with its 130kW rapid charging capability and only around 30 minutes or so required to do an 80% battery top-up, you can get back on the road in no time. 

A practical, versatile interior 

The ARIYA was designed to wow at every stage of the experience, and taking a look inside certainly prompts awe. With high-quality upholstery and ambient lighting, you’d be forgiven you were thinking you had taken the seat in a premium lounge, though the dashboard of impressive tech reminds you where you are - more on that later!

Storage and comfort are at the top of the list for many searching for the next SUV in their lives, and the ARIYA was built with these priorities in mind. Adjustments made to the seats, steering wheel and centre console can be saved under memory profiles for each driver on the Evole model, adjustable dividers enable you to make the most of your boot space, and a minimalistic dashboard allows you to control key functions without clunky buttons. 

Countless driver convenience features 

The ARIYA feels like it was made for you, with your needs anticipated, and your comfort accommodated. In addition to standard driver conveniences such as Apple CarPlay, park assist and dual screens, Nissan has proudly included their key technology, in keeping with its modern presence in our lives. This technology includes…  

ProPILOT with Navi link

ProPILOT is your new best friend, your right-hand, your copilot. This intuitive system uses sensors and GPS to anticipate driving scenarios and enable you to adjust your driving to suit. 

Haptic Controls 

Nissan was keen not to clutter the cabin with the traditional button operations and instead had a radical rethink. This resulted in a set of icons on the dashboard, used to control functions such as climate and volume, which react to touch with a subtle vibration, just as a smartphone can - another way in which the ARIYA slides into our lives with ease. 

Alexa Built-In 

Already making the most of voice control in your home? The Nissan ARIYA allows you to ask to play music, get directions, and even make commands to your smart home functionality, all without taking your eyes off the road or your hands off the wheel. 

Safety spec 

As you’d expect with a car of this spec, it’s packed with technology to make collisions less likely, and to alert you quickly when one is imminent. This includes intelligent lane assist, blind spot monitoring, traffic sign recognition, and intelligent cruise control. The ARIYA also features varying levels of automatic emergency braking, including the recognition of pedestrians and cyclists, as well as other vehicles on the road.
