Discover the Nissan Ariya: A Detailed Review

[@brandonwigboldy3959]

How did you like its snow performance? Can you please talk more about how well the AWD system performs?

[@Outsider.Reviews]

Absolutely! Like most EVs, it weighs more than your traditional ICE vehicle therefore in slippery conditions your stopping distance becomes longer. It's like a heavier person sliding down a snow hill lol. On the flip side of this, the weight distribution is far better spread throughout the vehicle, meaning you have a more even contact patch, resulting in better traction on those fluffy snowy days. The AWD is pretty fast to react and make adjustments but I would be more cautious on freezing rain days than a lighter vehicle. Snowy days you can plow through pretty well

Happy to hear you like the car. I have the exact one e- 4 minus premium. In winter it goes just about everywhere. We had a rough winter this season. That is of great impirtance for me. Second, i have a 22 kw buildt in charger. If you have a 22+ charger nearby, it takes around 3- 4 hours of charging for a very low price. Third. I am really happy with my epedal. Got used to it not stopping completely pretty fast. It is also good use your brakes now and then in order for the brakes not rusting. You can also have the brakebutton on the left side active, and it will stay still if you push the brake in and release. Just got my roofrack, works fine. Keep it up

Yes I do like the auto hold function and you are right about brake rust being a problem on EVs that don't use them. Those EVs need more brake maintenance but I just like it for driveability to be honest and it's not a deal breaker. For me it's the wired android auto lol I hate having to connect my phone with a cable when I have a wireless charger in the car! But aside from that, the Ariya really performed well and has a great thermal management system which is good for our winters. I'm looking forward to testing the Blazer EV which I think would be a good comparison to the Ariya

Missing One Major Feature: HD Radio (Digital AM & FM). At $72K I would expect a Luxury Infotainment System with HD Radio. One-Pedal Driving is a Must too.

We did just hear they are being heavily discounted, up to 16k off MSRP but I agree that the screen quality is not where it should be at that price point and of course I mentioned the lack of 1 pedal drive. It does win in overall interior design and handling however, I was pleasantly surprised by that and range in cold weather. Thanks for your input, much appreciated

Do you believe that you could reach Chicoutimi from let say Saint-Apollinaire without stopping at l'Etape to charge during winter time? Sorry for my English...

Il a beaucoup de facteurs à considérer, température, vitesse moyenne et direction des vents mais je te dire qu'à une température à -15C pour retourner la voiture à West Island montreal de Ste-Brigitte qui est 304km de distance. Le véhicule pouvait le faire sur une charge et il restait 15% de batterie. Le système de réglage de température de Nissan est vraiment bon. Cette semaine on a conduit le Kia EV9 et il m'a beaucoup impressionné également et ce vidéo va sortir avant la fds prochaine
