After Our First Drive, Is The Nissan Ariya Still One With The e-4orce?

[@erikruggels9177]

I absolutely love the thoroughness of your reviews. With an IONIQ 5 it's always interesting to see what other OEMs are doing. Over 1.5 years and 12,500 miles of driving, mostly highway, I've averaged 3.6 mi/kWh; and often on certain 200-300 mile drives I've seen 4 mi/kWh (Limited, AWD). Given this is the same exact size as the IONIQ 5, it's pretty incredible to me that it's 400 lbs heavier, has 20% less cargo volume (again, same size), way slower charging than the Korean or german options, and slower performance. It's not horrible like the toyota/subaru/lexus busy forks, but it doesn't feel as resolved as competition that's been on the market for a year or two - and given the pricing, is likely to have a very tough time with the likes of the EV9 since it's already behind the IONIQ 5 and priced at EV9 pricing. But... it's not horrible like the toyota/subaru/lexus which is nice... just odd it's not innovative and new and pushing the boundaries of space, and design and charging like the koreans given Nissan's history with the Leaf.

[@ob1tx]

Unless I misunderstood, the charging port of this car would be good for NACS. Seems to me, having the port at either the 1 or 7 o'clock position would work best on super chargers.

[@wingsounds13]

This was my thought. I am not sure why they didn't think that it would work at Superchargers - unless their concern is that the charge port is not at the corner, but set back behind the front wheel. However, this is not what it sounded like their concern was....

[@petermuller5275]

Hi Guys, thanks for the latest test drive of the Ariya. Living in Belgium, I've was lucky enough to take delivery of aan Ariya in November 2022. It's a front wheel drive model with the larger battery(87kw). For reference my previous car was a Tesla Model S. The Ariya is a "better" car, in that it includes all the creature comforts that worked from day one. Instead of things like rain sensors for the window wipers that have been in "Beta" for six years. The Ariya is slow (compared to the Tesla), but had better range.. At the moment it's 25 degrees centigrade here and I'm seeing consumption of about 15kw/h... Which translates to over 600 km at 90 km/h average. And it has a tow hitch (not an option for the model S) You made an observation about the layout on the instrument cluster, i suspect you need to spend more time with the truly horrible Userguide, where you will find that the information down can be customized, including having a large digital display as opposed to the analogue version you spoke of. Added to this you can reduce the amount of information displayed using the custom menus. Self driving functions are unreliable and in one reproducable situation tried to kill me. I had the choice between several vehicles, all of which i tested, and can say now the Ariya is a very good vehicle, which seems to put me at odds with your evaluation.

[@trumpetscall8910]

Agree, I had a totally different experience. On a long road trip tryout, it was one of the best evs I have tried. If my wife didn't drive, it would be a choice between the Ariya or polestar 2. The Ariya doesn't have the fastest charging power, but you don't lose so mutch because of the charging curve.

[@ferkeap]

With every car review I get polestar 2 commercials 😅 And it just looks so good 😊 And is kond of a hatchback.

[@wusup9988]

Being a Nissan fan, I would buy the Ariya despite its flaws. I love the exterior and interior design. That being said, the deal breaker is the lack of FULL one-pedal driving. My Nissan Leaf can come to a full stop when I lift off the pedal. It's an awesome way to drive. I hope this mistake will be remedied for their next EV.

[@kajko6868]

You really should not make that a deal breaker. I think the system works better than in my previous Leaf.

[@Lovejazz01]

I agree with both ladies, as long as Nissan has been in the EV game their new EV platform should be more powerful, and more efficient than the Leaf platform. When people cross shop the Aryah they will love look if the exterior and interior, but not much else IMO, which is exactly what I would say about many other EVs. There’s something to be said about great software and great efficiency.

Nice technical quality on the video. Content, the story of the car itself, was good, of course. Thanks.

[@gutserker]

Itest drove an ariya a few months back, and my tldr experience was "too comfortable, too numb, too much empty space." Coming from a 2011 Nissan leaf that I've owned for 100k miles, I came to expect snappy input response and predictable behavior. The ariya just encouraged much more relaxed driving. Fiddling with the drive modes took too much time, and I miss buttons! I love buttons, and even though I don't use heated seats, needing to go through menus to change various climate control options takes away from my ability to drive. The comfort was impressive, but to do that meant lots of unused space. Foot room where you don't put feet, or dashboard far too far away to reach glove box or climate *haptic* buttons I don't like. This was my first time driving a car that had modern touch screen controls, and I just felt like to do anything, I had to look where I was pointing. For my job that's not ideal. Maybe for some people the brake pedal moving to reflect the current braking input is ok, but I've just come to know by habit how far to press pedals to get the desired input. I want linear response. Ironically I'm in favor of the pedal feel of the Nissan leaf Eco mode. It's linear response from 0-100%. Eventually I did find a drive mode for the ariya that mostly mimics a leaf, but there's too many modes tied to one button that you may or may not easily feel. It's a nice car for people that just want to go from point a to point b in a nice car, perhaps a good luxury SUV feel for business executives, but it is absolutely not a vehicle for those that care about what it's like to drive a vehicle. I had high hopes, but for now I might just look at 2018 leaf or Chevy bolt for future options.

[@gregpochet4812]

Ariyas are not selling in my area, Northern VA. 30 plus on the lot and they have discounted them $1000 or more already and they just hit the lot 2 months ago? Nissan was too late to the market with this car.

[@Lovejazz01]

I’ve only seen two on the roads here in Memphis, and I pass by the local Nissan dealership everyday, sometimes several times a day, and I look and don’t see one on the lot. They need to have some in the front of the lot so people can see them instead of all the ICE. The Mercedes dealership always has at least 15 or 20 EQ EVs on the lot when I pass by.

[@phillyphil1513]

45:13 - no worries Nikki, don't FEAR THE REAPER or the port location. yes that position is for LHD European curbside post charging (ref: Germany) so i guess Nissan just left it where it was even though we don't have much of that here in the States just yet. (unlike Benz EQS) since the Ariya has double doors in Japan, the port flips staying curbside be it a LHD or RHD model (so it seems contrary to popular rhetoric the Japanese aren't "mugs" afterall). fwiw the Ariya's DCFC port here in 'Murica is in the same location as that of the mighty Porsche Taycan. Porsche's second left side/driver side door is AC only (no DC pins).

[@wlhgmk]

I want my Leaf to make the noise of the cars in that movie when Arnold went to Mars (Total Recall). Leaving that aside, I love my 60kWh Leaf and like it better than my son's Tesla. Especially for it's display which is visible through the top half of the steering wheel. It is so clear, you can see anything you want at a brief glance. And all controls are tactile including a radio with a tuning nob on the left and a volume nob on the right.

[@NeilBlanchard]

I really wish the 2WD version of this vehicle was RWD. For comparison, I drove our ID.4 on the highway from eastern Massachusetts to State College PA and back, with 4 tall adults, and we averaged 3.9 miles / kWh going there, and 4.0 miles / kWh on the way back. We did have a spare tire on a rack on the trailer hitch, and maybe this *helped* by improving the aero in the back?

[@trumpetscall8910]

Isn't it sensors on the steering wheel, not motion that sense if you have hands on the steering wheel.

[@mikesmith71]

Yes you're right. I know it's a while since the video came out but I was looking through the comments to see if this had been said. The system relies on pressure gripping the wheel rather than steering input, which is the much safer option. If you're traveling on a straight road you don't want to be turning the wheel back and forth to indicate you're paying attention! Unfortunately it's a problem with reviewers only having a little time to get to know all the details about a new car, they don't find some of the really useful things that the cars have. It's a shame as it can end with an unfavorable review on something that is actually better than they realized 😏

[@whitlockbr]

I really don't think the bolt is as cheap as it sold for. I think GM took a bath on that car. Pretty decent of GM for sure.

[@kristyfry716]

I haven't figured out how to engage e-step in my profile, may be an option but I haven't found it. It also doesn’t like you to put your hand on the top center of the wheel, it tells you to look forward because your arm covers the eye sensor. I really dislike the bells when you drive through construction zones in pro pilot mode and the lane change support cuts in and out.

I have to ask, why are people driving around with their hand on top of the steering wheel? It is a really retarded behaviour!

The charge port might be a carry over from the Japanese market or design center. It would be great for parking meter style street charging in left hand drive countries. Nikki. Do you still have your Mk2 CityStromer VW? That would make a great retro review since it is only one of two cars made for UK. Cheers!

[@Milhouse77BS]

The charge port is perfect for Tesla chargers

[@MrCountrycuz]

Sometimes Kate scares me.

[@DevAnubis]

The charge port is particularly odd considering in Japan they jave a port on either side, one for CHAdeMO and one for AC. And then in Europe I believe it also has 2 ports, one CCS2 (right side) and one plain Type-2 (left side). I guess the American ones are being made in Tennessee so are getting their own tooling and cutting out the second port for cost savings...

[@phillyphil1513]

yes, i have pics of a RHD Ariya from the big JDM show the 2023 Tokyo Auto Salon (from 2 different sides) and it DOES have doors on both side like a Taycan. i figured (but just a guess) that it was for backwards compatibility with Chademo in the Japanese market.

[@phillyphil1513]

[@DevAnubis]

@@kajko6868 huh, looking at actual press/review photos yeh it appears that UK vehicles only have the one port too (on the left front wheel arch). Weird. I really don't get why they'd bother re-tooling that wing just to save on having 2 ports... But then maybe that does add up in cost...

[@matthewbaynham6286]

I have a CHAdeMO question... There is a video of some guy using his home made CCS to CHAdeMO adapter, he described it a purely a proof of concept and pointed out which wires might melt. He only recharged for a few minutes before ending the charge session, before the entire thing melted. But as a proof of concept he had built a CCS to CHAdeMO adapter which worked and he was able to use a public CCS charging stations with a CHAdeMO car. So now there are plenty of second hand Nissan LEAF's around as well as a couple of other CHAdeMO cars. So in terms of the second hand market of CHAdeMO cars do you think these CCS to CHAdeMO adapters will have a real impact? Do you think people will start manufacturing a version of these CCS to CHAdeMO adapters that doesn't melt or catch fire or explode? What advice do you have for people who are considering buying a second hand LEAF?

[@matthewbaynham6286]

Johannes Hübner is the guy and this is his video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpemkqSaiqurabM

Unfortunately for efficiency, the Ariya is a TALL pseudo-Brick, and at 5050 lbs for the Platinum+ e4orce, it’s one very heavy brick. Efficiency is not a realistic thing to expect from this design and equipment level. Heavy bricks are NOT efficient. Does the FWD base model with the larger battery break 3.5 mi/kWh?? Probably the only version that’s got some chance with a lower curb weight.

[@edwyncorteen1527]

I test drove the Ariya at Fully Charged Harrogate and was very very underwhelmed, the e-Step ( what was wrong with e-Pedal that it is called in the UK?) was quite frankly terrible, one of our cars is the 40kW Leaf that introduced e-Pedal and it is simply superb it allows genuine one pedal driving, whoever changed this in the Ariya wants shooting! Our main car is the Model Y, it is simply better than the Ariya in every metric except the 360 camera view you get when parking and in over 12 months of use easily averages 4 miles/kWh without trying, AC and heating always on auto.

Agree with the pronunciation problem. If they wanted it to sound like "force" they should have just put "ce" after the "4" . "4ce" .

You I think we're done for, me and my wife...we'd find it really hard to be struggling to get something beginning with 3m/kWh in any vehicle.

You just have to take my word for it but the engine of the LEAF and the Ariya are completely different so that is one factor.

We don't get to pick the spec of the review vehicle, the manufacturer does. So what you're saying is we're providing information that's correct for the vehicle we're reviewing, but you don't like hearing it, and so rather than accept that you shout "misinformation". Based on manufacturers efficiency the original LEAF is rated at 34kWh/100 mi (99MPGe), the FWD Ariya at best manages 33KWh / 100mi for the 63kWh pack (101MPGe), but for the 87kWh pack is...oh, look, worse than the LEAF managing 98MPGe.

Its the compounded problem of OEM styling on ICE cars looking terrible right now, and them not knowing how to take already bad designs and turn them into EVs. 🤷 Also, at some point a few years ago designers decided that stretching cars in CAD to make different sizes appear like the same "family" was a good idea, and its just not.

That’s fair, I suppose, but I’d counter by saying that these exhaustively detailed reviews are what brought me to this channel in the first place. I really appreciate how much more in depth they are, compared to so many channels that just regurgitate the same press release talking points. Might not be for everyone, but they’re definitely for me (and I’m guessing lots of other people.)

Top of the range car at launch uk was £60k FFS! Sorry but it’s simply not worth the money. Overpriced, under performs, slow home charging 😤👎👎👎

I didn't expect Transportation Evolved to make fun of a car company using its literary license with the English language to name its vehicles. When every TE script must be a literary masterpiece. Otherwise. Keep up the good work

Mazda, Toyota and surprisingly Nissan are the bottom of the barrel for OEM EVs. Poor efficiency, performance and charging. Five years behind todays EVs. Absurdly expensive - that model you drove, without IRA rebate, is not recommendable.

I know I am bad but I do not think any of them is a lady…

Closed my eyes, and I heard two old British aunties nitpicking about the efficiency, or lack thereof, of an EV. Dearies, don't expect miracles from a legacy manufacturer.
