This car ticks all the boxes for my family. Nice review as always.

[@CampGareth]

@12:54 I love that that's exactly the same beep as the decade old leaf makes when a cable gets plugged in. If it ain't broke don't fix it

[@GudieveNing]

Ha. So it is! I'm sitting in my 2011 Leaf typing this. Didn't spot that before. I had a 2018 Leaf and can't remember if it made the same noise but it probably did. (Got this one cheap whilst evaluating next longer range EV. Test drove an Ariya and it is very nice except the haptic controls.)

[@tommccoll9062]

Excellent info. Pay attention to the available power. At the extreme, 40km or 25 miles beyond 0 km, if you keep speed limited to 30-35 km/h, or, 20 mph. Would never want to be in that position, but, very valuable. Add the 5.1 kWh to the 80 kWh you measured. Close to claimed 87 kWh useable. Thx, Bjorn! Time for wifey and baby.

[@MrVeeBlog]

Great Video as usual. I am looking really hard at this for my first EV. Thanks for doing this one.

[@duicui173]

Awesome review as always, very informative and entertaining - I save all your Ariya 87kWh reviews while waiting for my Evolve+ delivery in the US. By the way, @12:38 excellent Vietnamese pronunciation and food choice - those are my favorites.

[@daves1646]

The Ariya did about as much as you could have asked for (short of creating energy from a vacuum). I had decided against the Ariya given the poor efficiency at high highway speed, but this kind of predictable safety at the bottom of the pack changed my mind. Well done Nissan!!!

[@Cosmycal]

Ariya turtle mode? More like Ariya turtle boss mode! Nissan doesn't want you to get stranded with their EV's as usual, good thing!

[@mikesmith9559]

Brilliant review yet again. I'm waiting for my Ariya to be delivered next year and your reviews are so informative. Thank you and keep them coming

[@anzew88]

On my 30kWh Leaf the heater works till the end, I actually tried where the Leaf says NO MORE, parked in the garage emptying the last 1kWh (leafspy) with the heater/heatpump and it went down to 0,3kWh when it disconnected the EV battery. Tried it at 4 years and about 55k km

[@birkaigner5976]

Seems like Nissan is putting together a good package!

[@mus_xr4653]

It is Ultium based, and it is designed by GM and LG

@@geraldh.8047 Sorry, i mixed it up with the Nissan Prolouge

[@themiddleground5263]

Extra buffer so they never have to do warranty replacements of battery ever again! 5 kWh degradation hidden by the car, smart and sneaky!

[@FaceTubeU]

Nissan is advertising the Ariya in the US as having "up to 300 miles of range." Based on your range test and with the big buffer, this makes sense now.

[@veelck]

Hey, your tests to drive till battery is dead are great - can you test EV6 and Ioniq?

[@guybedau]

Informative, very real world feedback means maximum usefulness and credibility as always, well done.

[@thedodif]

Great video! Very informative.

Thorough and brilliant review.

[@sveinerikolsvik7998]

Very good review! All EV drivers should watch this video. Thank you very much!

[@lovethytuber4770]

I like what I'm seeing from the Ariya so far, however it would be interessting why Nissa gave it such a big buffer - seems a little excessive to me.

[@iamalittlepepper]

Do you have a shackle to hook up the tow rope (doubling) ?

[@potatoes87]

Can you try to use Kona long rang drive till battery 0 %.

[@widam]

looks like an amazing car, I hope It don't follow the Ionic 5 trend, "nowhere to buy them", "waiting list of a +year"..

[@bjornnyland]

[@AFI_Kas]

Bro i love your videos!!!

[@joaopfgoncalves]

Great review, as always. You don't ever need to sleep? 😄 Great car, that Nissan Ariya, can't wait for mine. Should be a little bit different regarding range, since it's the dual engine, 4WD.

[@decimal1815]

Why did they move the charge port to the back?? Makes much more sense on the front of the bonnet..

[@WhiteArtsMagic]

So what was the total distance from full to empty?

[@brunojl2]

Are you taking into account charging loses?

[@NickLiang]

Please time stamp! it would be much appreciated!

[@user-vu4tf3eb9l]

Is this worth over the 6x kW version?

[@philherb3843]

Classic Buffer Overflow: The distance can only be 0 - 1024 km, so -1 km is 1023 km.

[@Narcissist86]

Technically this is an integer or arithmetic overflow, where you perform some arithmetic past the limits of the variable and the value wraps around. Buffer overflow refers to something written outside of the memory allocated to the buffer. This may or may not be the case here since integer overflow can occur without buffer overflow.

[@user-yi4vz4du9l]

it has a 4% buffer or something like that

[@jinny7]

Was there a "I drove a 2018 Nissan leaf until the battery died" video?

[@jdeere71]

Nice Information, please Test Ioniq 5…

[@welek6465]

If that battery would support dc output for ev charging whould be epic

[@michelmasse6225]

Why are they installing the charge port on the passenger side (when the driver is on left side)? Will Nissan put on the driver side in 2025 when they migrate to the NACS? Resistance is futile - The Borg 😮

[@MartinReviewC]

My ariya is comming 27.01.2023 cant wait to test it on sommer from Bodø to Zagreb 🤣

[@Cosmycal]

Yep, in 2025 will be.

[@thomassrensen9423]

There is a warning saying you cannot start the car but you were able to anyway?

[@Cosmycal]

It seems to be a translation mistake from Japanese text

[@jasonlewis6373]

Bun bo hue for me too please! ✋

[@anzew88]

Does LeafSpy work with Arya?

[@bjornnyland]

No

[@wolfikiru3392]

would you say this is better than tesla? I'm really stuck on getting this or a Model Y Performance, its cheaper and more simple inside and has better range but idk I feel like this is also a nice car

[@Cosmycal]

Try it

[@Shiinamusiclyricssubs]

the ariya is a much nicer quality and riding car. With tesla you get more range and acceleration but poorer quality. With nissan you give up that range but in return the materials you touch are much much nicer, and you could option it with ventilated seats, opening sunroof, etc

[@ram64man]

Nissan should stop with the - - and low battery charge immediately at 10% 32km is far to high I realise they are trying to protect the battery but that buffer is way to high on the bigger pack

[@timberthewolf733]

We need this test with the older vehicles. /High degradation leaf.

you meant until battery's out not died, right?

[@russellcastagnaro72]

Nissan, still confusing messages after all these years :) Note: I've owned 3 Leaf's and on Ariya... Great video, thanks

[@smokyislay]

Hey anyone! I have 40 kWh Leaf 2022 and it is perfect size car for my needs. What I miss is CCS charging, 22 kWh charging (instead of 6 kWh) and a little bit more of battery capacity, around 60-80 kWh. What are my choices if Ariya is too big and I also don't want any smaller car? Thanks!

[@Cosmycal]

If you're willing to wait the 3rd generation Leaf will check all those things you're missing, it's projected to launch in 2025.

[@antoniocirino8444]

the problem with this car is the inconsistency of charging speed.

[@Cosmycal]

There has to be a logic of behavior behind it, time will probably discover it, anyway flat 90kW is more than enough for me.

[@ManfredvonHolstein]

Nice demo but we all know that an EV will run a bit beyond 0% on the dashboard and the question is really how far. That said it should be quite easy to figure out using an OBD dongle. That will tell you what the actual SOC is vs what the dashboard says. And then the real question is whether the 87kWh usually charge is the charge to get you to the real 0% as per OBD or whether it is for 0% per dashboard. I suspect the former, and that 4kWh is simply never accessible to protect the battery in any circumstances.

[@bjornnyland]

No, not all EVs can go past 0 %. Some cars even stop with 1 km indicated range left.

[@ManfredvonHolstein]

@@bjornnyland , OK but my point is that it is easy to check that with an OBD scanner. It will tell you whether the dashboard shows the real SOC percentage at which the car operates or some faked figure. Therefore you would also know how far you can still go if the figure was fake. No need for testing this (and chickening out at the end).

[@bjornnyland]

Not easy yet since LeafSpy doesn't support Ariya. And even if I used CarScanner or something else, as the tests here shows, the claimed kWh left is not always correct.

[@raptorpome2577]

@@ManfredvonHolstein you can have a big difference between in theory stuff and in practice .... At the end of the day I want to know what will actually happen that's why I like how Bjorn tests cars

[@ManfredvonHolstein]

@@raptorpome2577 An OBD scanner tells you exactly what you want to know when it comes to how much battery charge there is actually left. And also tells you many other interesting things, like how cold the battery is, at which temperature it is being heated or cooled etc. Just get one and you will see. Doesn’t cost much.

[@eddieyutub]

Wouldn't it be nice if you can charge the car while driving from the inside? That should have been made as a stander protocol for someone who just want to drive far without charging by buying extra batteries inside the car and plug it inside?!
