Great video agree with all, looks really nice. The biggest difference will be in winter, im on my way to change to studd tires.

[@geft]

Congratulations and enjoy!

[@nissanelectrified9583]

Thank you! :)

Congrats! Got mine 2 months ago, been very performing great in the Norwegian winter. The ride comfort is just out of this world. Would wish for faster charging but i think thats down to temprature not the car. Usualy im getting 50-80kw in -7c weather

[@nissanelectrified9583]

Yes, surely temperature related, although these speeds certainly seem to be on the lower end of what can be expected. Then again, since coldgating is part car, part charger, it might be "normal". In -7°C, I typically get 90-99ish kW when the car had ample time to precondition the battery (battery heater turned on via the infontainment screen), and the starting SOC is low enough (as you can see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/an23iqiVe5h5pNEsi=vvcua14CPvyrXss6). But the charger plays a very important role and they do suffer from the cold as much as the car (and depending on the make and model sometimes even more). Since I heard from another scandinavian Ariya driver that he also had charging speed issues, and I read from the electric buses in norway also having charging issues, I wonder if the norwegian chargers are somehow prone to fail in the cold (which would be super weird obviously) or (perhaps more likely) there are power restrictions implemented in winter?

I love this color so much. They didn't offer the top trim in Aurora Green/Northern Lights in the States. Mine is Boulder Grey.

[@nissanelectrified9583]

It's actually Pearl Black, but I just saw them side to side the other day and they are very similar. The Pearl Black has a very heavy metallic component, so it reflects sunlight as much as the Aurora Green, only that it will stay black and sometimes a bit blueish (which i prefer) and not shift towards green and burgundy. But I know a lot of People who absolutely dig the Aurora Green, so I think Nissan has a winner there! The Ceramic Grey (as it's called here) we have on our FWD Ariya and I like it very much as well!

[@HolgerBeck]

herzlichen Glückwunsch! ;-)

[@nissanelectrified9583]

Danke dir! :)

[@smurfgudrun]

Hehe, great video again and love the Ninja rant. I ordered my Ariya e-4orce yesterday after testing an FWD 63kwh back to back with an Ioniq 5 HTRAC. The Ioniq was nice but nothing beats the feeling of the Ariya in this price range. Will be a tough wait until I get it ;)

[@smurfgudrun]

On critical details (for me) the Ariya won on waaay better headlights, rear seat space for three child seats, interior design and one step better comfort. Biggest minus was much worse charge point database than Hyundai. I hope Nissan updates to a better database.

[@nissanelectrified9583]

Yes, headlights and interiour are no comparison, it's two leagues above with the Ioniq. Also charging efficency is way better. At least in Germany, Austria, Italy, Netherlands etc., the database is actually very good. What's missing is just a way to filter by charging vendor (like "only Ionity" etc...). Where are you based?

[@nissanelectrified9583]

Thanks for watching and congratulations! Hope your car arrives soon! Also thank you so much for your donation

[@MrMWRMWR]

​@smurfgudrun iirc there's not isofix in the centre, but even if there is, it would be horrific trying to fit a baby into the centre. Maybe a slighty older child would work though.

[@nissanelectrified9583]

In the larger Nissans like the X-Trail and Ariya, you typically can fit two Maxi Cosis (or similar) with a booster seat in the middle. Never tried three full child seats in Ariya, but apart from super large, American SUVs and large vans, I think pretty much every car in this segment will struggle heavily with that task. Pretty confident that three booster seats would work though!

[@travello352]

Wie zufrieden bist du nach ein paar Monaten mit dem e4orce? Habe mir einen bestellt mit großem Akku als Evolve Pack und fiebere schon die ganze Zeit auf ein Update 😅 Danke schon mal für den bisherigen content!

[@nissanelectrified9583]

Ist ein hervorragendes Auto, insgesamt auch nochmal runder als der 2WD - der Eindruck hat sich tatsächlich nicht geändert. Der Verbrauch ist etwas höher, klar, aber das liegt zu 90% tatsächlich am Gas-(bzw. wohl eher Strom-)Fuß, der bei so einem Auto dann doch öfter mal zuckt. Gerade wenn man schneller fährt ist der Verbrauch gegenüber dem Fronttriebler allerdings sehr vergleichbar, es ist eher das Fenster "nach unten" was beim 2WD etwas weiter offen ist. Einfach dadurch, dass der Wagen leichter ist. Wenn ich mir einen aussuchen müsste, wäre es in jedem Fall der e-4orce - kannst dich drauf freuen!

[@fredrikh8070]

Congrats! I’m considering to order the e-4orce. I now have the 87 kWh FWD. The only problem I see is the smaller trunk. I’ve really appreciated possibility to use the full depth of the FWD version when going on holidays with the whole family. How do you see this smaller trunk? This is no issue for you? BTW it’s a beauty in black (at least when it’s clean 😅)

[@nissanelectrified9583]

Thanks! Well, if the trunk is still big enough for you...only you can say :D We are three people here and in the end, whatever we put below the floor would also have easily fitted elsewhere in the trunk. If I am transporting bulkier items, I also have them on the upper floor, since the trunk is deeper and I can actually fit more than with the floor lowered (there is a pretty sizable hump behind the rear seats which creates a sort of dead space that is difficult to use). So for me, having all wheel drive was well worth that trade off!

[@Cosmycal]

Can you suggest a EQ setting for the Bose sound system? I mean, balance, fader, treble and bass.

[@nissanelectrified9583]

All flat! It's perfectly set up as it is. Any further changes would be simply according to personal taste (as in "more bass" i.e.).

[@micgent]

Yes the black looks very nice. When it comes to Winter please let us know if you choose winter tyres and what make tyre.

[@nissanelectrified9583]

I run Michelin Crossclimate SUV all season tyres on both Ariyas and they are as amazing as they are expensive :)

[@micgent]

Thanks, I drive the Ariya Evolve 2wd 87kW in the North East UK and am a little nervous for this coming winter I may fit an all season tyre@@nissanelectrified9583

[@nissanelectrified9583]

For the UK they would be a perfect fit! They really shine in those temperatures +5 to -5°C, you know, that climate where it is always wet and cold and you get none of the nice sides of winter, only mud and rain, no sun for weeks - all that depressive stuff :D (we do have that over here a LOT in the winter half of the year)

[@micgent]

Yes not looking forward to it. I have a few little 'catch you out' hills near my home. Previous vehicles ive used 'Snow Socks' that have worker very well and kept the tyres as standard. For the Ariya I am tempted to try all season tyres. @@nissanelectrified9583

[@smurfgudrun]

I will be running Nokian Hakkapelitta 10 studded, unbeatable in ice, but probably far from ideal in UK/DE

[@propasha9464]

Congratulations, I received mine 2 weeks ago. Did Michelin crossclimate tyres come with the vehicle?

[@nissanelectrified9583]

No, I ordered them since I already had those on my X-Trail and really liked them. For our climate, all season tires are the best choice. I also like how they look.

[@propasha9464]

i am in Germany also and the first thing that i made changing the tires to corssclimate 2 :) i just wonder if there is a an option to order them with these tires :) Thank you @@nissanelectrified9583

[@nerannaeran8396]

Can you make please a summary of the accesories, is the front bumper improving the aero dynamic coefficiant at highway speeds? Is the back bumper worth it? Thanks

[@nissanelectrified9583]

Will happily do that! I would reckon that the front and rear accents are mainly an optical thing, that said, it looks like the Ariya Nismo will get very similar accents front and rear right out of the box, so there might be some aerodynamic aspects as well. I'll make a video once I pick up the car with all the accessories installed!

[@nerannaeran8396]

@@nissanelectrified9583 much appreciated! Thank you!

[@rio8677]

Was hat dich zum Ariya bewegt? Mir ist kein Vorteil zur Konkurenz aufgefallen bei den Preisen.

[@nissanelectrified9583]

Oh je, das ist nicht mal eben so zu sagen. Ich habe zu genau diesem Thema (u.A. auch mit einem Vergleich zu Tesla) gaaanz viele Videos gemacht. Ich versuche es dennoch aus meiner Sicht mal "kurz" zusammenzufassen: 1) Ich fahre seit vielen Jahren Nissan und bin von der Qualität und dem Service sehr überzeugt. Unser Händler ist zudem so gut wie es nur geht. 2) Ariya ist im Vergleich zu Ioniq5, ID4 etc. ein sehr erwachsenes und qualitativ höherwertiges Auto, entstammt auch einfach einer hochwertigeren Kategorie (obere Mittelklasse). Entsprechend ist z.B. die Geräuschdämmung schlichtweg besser, und was an dem Auto verbaut ist, ist von hoher Qualität, manches gibt es anderswo schlichtweg garnicht (z.B. das Plasma Cluster Luftreinigungssystem). Dafür zahlt man einen entsprechenden Preis, aber was die Deutschen eben immer nicht verstehen wollen: Qualität kostet. Du kannst billig kaufen, klar, dann kaufst du aber eben zweimal, oder du hast nur Stress. Braucht kein Mensch. Oder du steigst eine klasse tiefer ein, aber dann hat man eben ein Auto aus der Kompaktklasse oder untere Mittelklasse und muss mit den entsprechend Kompromissen leben. Das wollte ich nicht. 3) Ariya ist vor allem ein gutes Auto, dann ein EV. 4) Ariya ist kein Papiertiger, der auf dem Datenblatt super aussieht und das ganze aber im Alltag nicht einlöst. Das Auto ist auf allen Ebenen so konstruiert, dass es im Alltag gut, verlässlich und nachvollziehbar funktioniert. Mit dem Auto fährst du zur Ladesäule, und weißt was du bekommst. Kleine Abweichungen gibt es natürlich, aber verglichen zu der Lotterie, welche du z.B. bei der EGMP Plattform bekommst, ist das Ding so verlässlich wie nur was. Dass der Wagen im Autoquartett am Stammtisch dabei nicht beeindrucken kann, war Nissan egal, und genau das finde ich so sympathisch. Das ist urjapanisch. Die machen, was Sinn macht, und nicht, was gut "aussieht". 5) Ariya lädt extrem effizient (minimale Ladeverluste), dabei aber schneller als ein Tesla Model 3/Y, die VW Modellpalette, der neuen Polestar 2 usw.. Das ist ein ziemlicher Hammer und spart bares Geld. Zudem ist es gut für die Umwelt und schont das Stromnetz. 6) Gut für die Umwelt sind auch die fremderregten Synchronmotoren, welche keine seltenen Erden benötigen, sehr sparsam und vor allem sehr effizient in der Energierückgewinnung sind. 7) Das Auto ist außen klein und innen sehr groß. 1775l Ladevolumen auf der Länge in einem EV, das muss man lange suchen. 8) Das Auto gefällt mir optisch sehr gut, innen wie außen. 9) Ich mag und brauche Allradfahrzeuge und niemand macht Allrad besser als Nissan. 10) Alles, was ich sonst noch vergessen hab, findest du in den Videos auf diesem Kanal :)

[@hendrihendrik]

Can you turn on Nissan ariya using remote or controlling using remote key fob on narrow parking place ?

[@nissanelectrified9583]

The car is capable of it. I know the Japanese version has it and I reckon the American version has it as well. Over here in Europe, stuff like that is not allowed, so we don't have it.

[@hendrihendrik]

I don't know the regulation about that, but what I see fx Ionic 5 and Kia ev 6 they can using remote for controlling the car in narrow space, I hope will any some update from Nissan Europe.@@nissanelectrified9583

[@nissanelectrified9583]

Yes, this seems to be a bit of a grey area in the EU, I think Tesla does something like that as well via the app. No idea how they got that approved. But I think its a bit of a gamble for the manufacturers. If something should go wrong, they might face some serious charges. Honestly, the need for something like this is so minimal in Europe. I can understand that this makes sense in Japan, where every inch of space is at a premium and garages tend to be so narrow, that you simply can not actively drive the car in there. But in Europe, it really is not difficult to get a parking space, and chances are, that if you can't get out of your car in a parking space, other can not as well, so you shouldn't be parked there anyways. But I also understand why stuff like that is fun :D I just don't see it as a huge problem to not have it.
