Nissan Ariya orders now open

NISSAN has priced its Ariya SUV for the Australian market ahead of the all-electric model’s domestic debut in September.

Orders are now open for the four-variant range with pricing from $55,840 plus on-road costs.

The Nissan Ariya measures 4595mm in length and 1850mm in width (excluding mirrors), and rides on a 2775mm wheelbase, making it comparable in size to segment competitors like the BYD Sealion 7 (from $54,990) and Tesla Model Y (from $58,900).

Nissan says the Ariya is styled to blend futuristic sculptural elements with natural curvature in a harmonious form while offering an interior that is airy, inviting, and spacious.

The Ariya is offered with 63kWh or 87kWh battery options providing a driving range of up to 504km. AC charging is possible at up to 22kW while DC fast charging is possible at up to 130kW allowing a 10-30 per cent recharge in 35 minutes.

For Engage (from $55,840) and Advance (from $59,840) we find a single electric motor outputting 160kW/300Nm in combination with a 63kWh battery, while the Advance+ (from $63,840) offers a 178kW/300Nm state of tune with larger 87kWh battery pack enabling greater range.

The range-topping Evolve e-4orce variant (from $71,840) offers dual 160kW motors and a total of 600Nm of torque, all-wheel drive, and a 0-100km/h time of 5.6 seconds – 2.4 seconds faster than the entry-grade model.

Braked towing capacity for two-wheel drive entry variants is listed at 750kg while all-wheel drive models allow 1500kg of braked towing capacity. All variants are suspended by a Macpherson strut front / multi-link rear arrangement, offer electrically assisted power steering, and are halted by four-wheel disc brakes.

For the entry grade Engage variant we find equipment highlights that include 19-inch wheels (with a tyre repair kit in lieu of a spare wheel), LED lighting all-round, rear roof spoiler, a shark fin style antenna, and satin chrome window framing.

Comfort and convenience features include an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, keyless entry and start, six-way manual front seat adjustment, cloth upholstery, dual-zone climate control, footwell lighting, tilt/reach steering adjustment, a leather-accented steering wheel rim, 60:40 split-fold rear seats, and rain-sensing wipers.

Connectivity highlights include dual 12.3-inch instrumentation and infotainment screens, native sat nav, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, voice recognition, wireless device charging, six-speaker sound, AM/FM/DAB+ radio reception, Bluetooth telephony and audio streaming, and an assortment of USB and 12-volt power outlets.

Safety features include adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, blind spot warning and intervention, driver attention alert, front and rear parking sensors, high beam assist, lane departure, keeping, and prevention technologies, rear cross-traffic alert, rear seat alert, reversing camera, traffic sign recognition, tyre pressure monitoring, and six airbags.

The Advance grade adds or replaces those features with leather-accented upholstery, six-way powered front seat adjustment, two-way driver seat lumbar support, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, rear privacy glass, LED front fog lights, a handsfree powered tailgate, 360-degree camera system with moving object detection, and a 10-speaker Bose premium audio system.

For the Advance+, additional or replacement feature highlights include black synthetic leather and Ultrasuede combination upholstery, head-up display, a panoramic glass roof, power sliding centre console, eight-way powered front seat adjustment with memory function, four-way driver lumbar support, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and LED sequential indicators.

Finally, for the flagship Evolve e-4orce we find a three-phase AC on-board charger, 20-inch alloy wheels, blue Nappa leather upholstery, rear-view camera, matte chrome DLO framing, adaptive LED headlights, mirror memory function with reverse tilt mode, and powered tilt/reach steering column adjustment again with memory function.

Nissan Australia will offer the Ariya with its 10-year/300,000km vehicle warranty with included five-year capped-price servicing plan and up to 10 years of roadside assistance. The high-voltage battery is covered for eight years or 160,000km (whichever comes first).

“It’s exciting to see Nissan’s long history in the Australian electric vehicle space continue in the Ariya, which pairs incredible design, a clever and spacious interior, intelligent driving systems with advanced battery and motor technology to deliver a truly thrilling drive,” said Nissan Australia deputy director of marketing and mobility Warwick Daly.

“Understandably, a lot of people have been waiting for the Ariya to arrive in Australia, and I’m so excited that customers can now place orders.”
