I am currently driving a Tesla Model Y, great tech but build quality no so good, so Nissan Ariya Eforce Evolve is on order and expected June.

[@marketbuy]

You will love the Ariya. I have the Evolve+ FWD trim and I get 310-330 miles of range on a 95% charge. This is based on 75% city and 25% Hwy driving. I usually like to have my moonroof open. I currently have 18.5K miles

[@megsman4749]

That's why my brother opted for the Jaguar ePace. Quality.

[@ljwiltshire]

Great vid Tom ! FYI You can turn the easy entry option off where the seats go back on entry. . Also this battery doesnt apparenlty get harmed by charhing to 100% as it has cooling and a big buffer above the stated 87KWh. So you dont have to worry about limiting to 80% charge.

[@RichardMorton73]

Love my Ariya Evolve E-4orce, had it around 5 months now and finding it an amazing car. No range anxiety, loads of cool and useful features and tons of kit standard to the Evolve spec.

[@markturner7748]

I’ve had my 87kWh Evolve since just after they came out and still think it’s great. Mine isn’t fussy about where I touch the wheel while on ProPilot though… just resting one finger at the bottom of the wheel keeps it happy.

So maybe look at that if you’re wanting an electric car with over 300 mile range. Not to mention it’s probably a better car all round than the Ariya anyway

[@andrewmui5309]

X Trail epower owner here. I am thinking of getting 11:49 the Ariya for my wife and Tom, your video confirms my decision. Nissan has put so much efforts in new generation models like the X trail i am having and the Ariya. Hope Nissan can bounce back and to the place where they were before. Such an underrating cars. Really wish more people to know how good the Nissan cars have become.😅😅😅

Great analysis, I own the eforce, large battery and love it. Not too many pigeons here where I live but lots of crows but the crows always have a look out on a pole screeching caw, car, car, to warn the others. Maybe the pigeons can learn something.

[@TheRamblyChannel]

I have an Ariya. It’s the same colour as yours (and I agree with what you say about it - excellent for the “free” colour). My car is the Advance trim with the smaller battery so it’s not quite as plush and doesn’t go quite as far but it’s still a nice vehicle and has plenty going for it. A couple of observations. There’s a setting where can stop the car shouting at you if you don’t have your hands at ten to two. I haven’t tried the setting yet as I’ve only recently found it but might be worth a go to see if it solves that particular issue for you. My other observation is about ePedal. Unlike the Leaf, ePedal in the Ariya doesn’t go to a complete stop - the car still creeps forward until you use the break. I wasn’t too worried about this until I drove a Leaf for the first time while my Ariya was in for its first annual service in December and I really like the way ePedal works in that car compared to the Ariya. I completely agree about the lack of limiting to 80% battery charge being an oversight. I can’t understand it and hope Nissan will add that option in a software update. Enjoyed the video!

[@Filtermandave]

Ooh interesting what is this setting that you can turn off on the pro pilot. I thought I had been through everything Maybe can do a video of this 😊 to show us

[@scottcameron8936]

It's designed to be filled to 100 without the issues other manufacturers batteries have

[@TheRamblyChannel]

@@scottcameron8936 I don’t think you’re correct about that. A lithium ion battery is a lithium ion battery irrespective of whose name is on the box. Nissan haven’t magically altered the properties of the technology so the 80% guidance still applies to the Ariya making the lack of a setting to manage that inexplicable. They’re not the only car maker to leave that out of their software.

[@TheRamblyChannel]

@@Filtermandave I’ll have to test it for sure and may include it in a future video over on my own channel. It’s buried deep in the settings!

[@Filtermandave]

This might explain Nissan reasoning on charging limits I found the following info How to limit charging to 80% on a later model year (2014+) Nissan Leaf Posted on November 23, 2022 Early (2011-2013) United States Nissan Leaf's had a "limit charging to 80%" feature in the dash. Nissan removed this feature from US cars after the EPA ruled that if the feature remained, they had to report a lower battery range because on average the car would not be fully charged when it left. [This ruling was incorrect in my opinion...but Nissan removed the feature so that they could advertise the EPA range based upon a 100% charge of the battery.] 1, and many other people, still like to limit charging to only 80% of the battery total capacity in an effort to extend the life of our EV batteries. [This extra effort may or may not be worth the trouble, and many people advise to just charge to 100% and not worry about your battery health, especially for 2016+ vehicles which have a longer battery warranty. But I like to limit charging of Lithium lon batteries to 80% if I don't need the extra range.] If you wanted to only charge your Nissan Leaf to 80% (unless you need extra range for longer trips) on a regular basis, how can you do it on later model year vehicles? There are three options that I know of: 1. The only way to get a similar effect (keeping the car below 80% SOC most of the time) using only inbui

[@whoneedsfacts]

As a Aryia e-4orce driver I agree with most of your review, except that e-pedal doesn't take you to a complete stop, the preconditioning sets off the alarm nearly everytime in the Winter and randomly in the Summer. I was actually surprised by how well the torque vectoring levels out the lean when in sports mode and I love the rear bias when you decide to "make progress" out of a corner. I am yet to encounter the dripping tailgate or randy pigeons, just bugs.....lots and lots of squashed bugs!

[@SB-hr5yr]

Good idea, when you paid off all your credit cards and your mortgage maybe then you can afford your dream Nissan. LOL

[@anthonycraig274]

I am thinking the same. I only purchased the leaf while I waited for my model Y to arrive. By time the Tesla was delivered, I didn’t want it any more. Now, I want an upgrade, this looks like it.

[@donblay7307]

Excellent review. Thorough and objective. I have admired this car since I first read about it. When I opt for fully electric it will be my choice, not because of the vehicle, but because of your frank review with the seasoning of your British sense of humour 😊

[@Clar-K.T]

Great video. The big problem of the car is its price. Also noticed the same as comment of fellow viewer about e-pedal not bringing to complete stop like Leaf does during test drive which is strange and off-putting.

[@NameNaameNameeNaamee]

The price literally is the price you pay for a quality car. The Ariya offers so much more than any Tesla offers you, and it's above the pack of ID4 etc. as well when it comes to refinement. Compared to other ICE cars on a comparable quality level, it really isn't expensive at all.

[@DrDave_63395]

On E-pedal behaviour I have recently changed from BMW i3 to Ariya. With the i3 I can bring the car to a complete stop just using the accelerator pedal but as we know the Ariya E-pedal mode almost stops the car but you have to use the brake pedal to stop completely. In retrospect I like this option - 1) allows creeping when close manoeuvring is needed and 2) get auto hold on brake after pressing the brake pedal. Not an issue with the Ariya behaviour IMHO.

[@anngodfrey612]

Our 2020 leaf e pedal does bring the car to a complete stop.

[@mikepalmer8]

It's totally underrated. Not helped by the lack of Federal discount in the US, Tesla fanboys saying it's terrible and the fact that its charging speed looks slow. It was also a bit overpriced on release. But not many people who've actually driven one don't like it. And a lot of people who actually own one really love it. I've had an e4orce Evolve for nearly two years and it's a fantastic car. Great to drive, and the 5.7 0-60 is fast enough - I've driven a Ferrari that was slower. I charge at home overnight, so don't care much about the fast charging. And the interior is just a really nice place ot be. Oh - it's also reliable - no issues

[@tstyle76]

I love my Ariya and have no regrets. I’m excited for the Nismo edition.

[@cedarcanoe]

The interior / dashboard area reminds me of my bmw i3

[@charlesbridgford254]

Indeed. This is why I'm drawn to it.

[@ricsuk]

I owned a Tesla Model X before driving an e-4orce. The reliability of Ariya is much much better than a Model X. But the power of Model X gave me exciting feeling when I needed to overtake. I was a bit disappointed on the power of the dual motor Ariya but fully agreed with the review that it’s very easy and cozy in driving. Btw, the app control and the drivers convenient features of Tesla is much more advanced. Many times I didn’t switch off the power of Ariya and got out the car which I hadn’t needed to do in the Model X for 6 years. Get on and shift to D and drive, shift to P and get off are so convenient. I wish we can ask for the features by a software update in Ariya.

[@NameNaameNameeNaamee]

For the record: We drive two Ariyas (one 2WD and one e-4orce) with well over 50000Km on the clock between the two of them (and they are absolutely awesome vehicles!). Total pigeon count so far: 0. ;)

[@aketzah]

Is it worthy to wait 7 months for a e-4force AWD model? We are interested in buying one, and theres a 2WD Evolve 242 HP in stock, but we are not sure if the difference is reason enough to wait that much. We do not use the car off-road, only on motorways for family travels. Is 2WD ok? Thanks!!!

[@kendzo92]

I'm thinking about ordering the 2wd with smaller battery. How's the range on that one?

[@PaulMeier-cu3ds]

Thanks for a great review. I nearly bought one last year and only cancelled the order placed the previous August when I was told it “might” be delivered in June 23. By then I was also a bit worried about not having a petrol hybrid option here in Worcestershire where working public charging is sparse. I agree it is a lot of car for the money and about as much luxury as I am likely to need. I much prefer the UI and UX to a Tesla.

Yes I’m afraid so apparently they can’t do an over air update mines due for its first service soon so I’ll ask for it done then . as someone else said you can change the alarm in the settings so it asks you if you want to turn the internal alarm sensor off when you switch off

[@nielsjunker1487]

Great video and beautiful car 😊 I would rather buy this instead of tesla 😉💪

[@thathairyguy]

The Ariya doesn't have an 80% limiter because that thinking is quite outdated now. The car handles the cell balancing and you won't do any damage charging to 100% as long as it's not sat like that for weeks on end.

[@anngodfrey612]

Our 2020 Nissan Leaf does not obviously have the ability to charge to just 80% either. I saw a podcast at some stage that intimated that our 62 kw battery will only? actually charge and give a range of 57 kw in order to 'save' battery from degradation. Consequently we just charge to 100% if doing a longer trip, and don't worry too much.

[@Lewis_Standing]

Every little helps though and if you are keeping the car for its life and don't need a 0 to 100% range daily, why not do the thing that's best for the battery?

[@Danutzz2010]

The one I've been renting regularly doesn't come to a complete stop on e-pedal. The Leaf does that, but not the Ariya

I have just passed one year an 22,000 miles of Ariya driving. I have found; I) my experience with pro pilot is a single hand anywhere on the wheel is fine ii) using remote climate from the app triggers the alarm (now fixed after a very delayed sw update) iii) after a year @nissan charge for the connect app which is disappointing when it is free for 3 years on a Leaf

[@avidian888]

Yeah... As a Nissan Leaf owner, I find it very very weird, that you can't stop the charging, nor can you tell it to stop at a manually set battery percentage... For a company, that thought about so many little details, I just don't get this blatant oversight...

[@NameNaameNameeNaamee]

I think the idea is to keep it simple. The way the battery is set up, there really is no reason to stop your charge at 80%. The only situation I found myself missing said option was in the mountains, where I was on vacation, living at 1400 meters, and regardless what direction I would drive to, it would always be downhill for hundrets of meters above sea level. Charging to over 80% literally made no sense there. In day to day use however, I really do enjoy the fact that I can use the pack to it's full extent. It also makes you a lot quicker on long trips, since you don't have to charge as often. That way, Ariya actually beats an Ioniq 5. Teslas don't have a chance anyway.

[@mikepalmer8]

As well as an Ariya, I also own a 10 year old Nissan Leaf. I've always charged to 100% and after 55,000 miles haven't lost any range (very litle rapid charging, though). That's in a car without an battery cooling. Charge to 100% and enjoy the full range of the battery - it's a myth that charging to 80% is necessary. In the case of the Ariya, the 87kW/hr battery is actually 91kW/hr, so you are not charging to 100% anyway

[@avidian888]

@@mikepalmer8 Okay I understand what you're saying, but for me it's not just about saving the battery, but also the increased resistance and power usage after the 80% mark. I tested it myself at home and charged my battery to 100% for one week and measured the power usage and did the same with 80% charge for a week and it turned out that I saved 30% power while charging it only to 80%. It takes an insane amount of energy to overcome the battery resistance while charging after the 80% mark. One of many reasons to offer an easy to offer option to your customers and for the sake of saving energy for the environment... It is really not a big thing to ask...

[@serraios1989]

[@advandermeer740]

[/CAPS LOCK OFF] It is reasonably efficient, but not as efficient as a Tesla Model Y. In fact, the Model Y goes further on a smaller battery. The Model Y charges twice as fast as an Ariya on a rapid charger. I'll agree that an Ariya looks more "premium", but the previous two point are short comings do not want to live with. Being significantly more expensive does not help either.

[@monk3yboy69]

This thing is extremely inefficient… 3.8mkwh. I came across from the Kia E Niro 64kw model 4+ I had her for 3 years and did 118000 miles. I was getting on average around 4.2mkwh. The Ariya chews through juice like there is no tomorrow. Mine is the 87kw battery Evolve in Grey metallic I have had her now just coming onto a month . I can rate the drive . It is smooth and comfortable. The 19 inch wheels absorb the bumps nicely. There is a severe lack of storage in this car. The centre armrest is pointless. Nice materials adjourn the cabin but is let down by harder plastics on the lower door bins. It’s also rather pricey but you do get what you pay for. I should have gone for Nappa leather as I really do not like the seats on the Evolve . Otherwise , it’s ok.

[@Cosmycal]

Chews the juice? I do more than 300 miles on mine easily each charge.

[@yo2trader539]

Rapid charging is what degrades the battery. It's regulated for that reason, I presume.

[@krzysztofwirszyo6563]

Holding the ProPilot steering wheel in only a few places? It must be broken. Normally you can hold the steering wheel anywhere. There is a steering wheel replacement campaign in Poland right now, because there was a series of steering wheels with a broken system. Report it to the service, a correct steering wheel allows you to put your hands anywhere and your hands are detected.

Maybe FWD base small battery, FWD base large battery, AWD base large battery, AWD premier with optional moonroof large battery * bring back 1 pedal driving. I dont like 1pd but there's no reason not to have it

Infotainment is confirmed to be changed to Android Automotive in the near future.

[@Trades46]

There's no option to stop at 80%? This might be the only EV that can't do that. The luxury car feel is great, but it does feel expensive for a Nissan. I've seen a lot of ID.4, Mach-E and especially Model Ys in Canada, but seldom Ariyas. A shame since I think it a good package overall.

@@mikepalmer8 You can have Android auto on a Tesla if you want it, though not officially. Not sure what you mean by proper - my old Jaguar XJ-S had a proper dash board and nothing compares to the revised dashboard of the Rover SD1 series 2, a work of art. At least the way things are going you won't need to maintain the Nissan Warranty, it is looking very much like there won't be a Nissan company left. Great shame as there is nothing at all wrong with the Ariya.

Three nights to charge at home? What? 87kwh battery, charging 10-80% =60,9kwh, on a standard 11kw charger is 5,53h. That's about half a night, not three.

[@Electrifyingcom]

I'm charging for four hours a night at 7kW. 28kWh a night.

[@sebastiansandvik825]

@@Electrifyingcom Thanks for the reply. That could be the case for you, but not for most people. Most homes have 3 phase power, thus charging at 11kw, and most nights will be longer than 4 hours. Not to mention that you will not want to charge to 100%, even if the car doesn't have a feature to limit SoC. But even with 7,4kw you're still going to charge 70% in 8 hours. Saying it takes three nights is misleading, and is a very niche use case, which is only applicable if you're looking to push charging costs way down.

[@dphillips9641]

It's a review from the UK. 3 phase in UK domestic homes is as rare as hen's teeth and one of the most popular EV electricity tariffs gives 4 hours for charging. So no it's not misleading.@@sebastiansandvik825

@@sebastiansandvik825 "Most homes have 3 phase power, thus charging at 11kw" Not in the UK. Three phase is pretty rare in domestic buildings here so the standard for home charging is 7kW. In addition, many of the electricity tariffs for EV owners here have a 4 hour period overnight that is significantly cheaper than the daytime rate so you would only charge the car at that time.

[@sebastiansandvik825]

@@NickFoster Well, in that case it should be mentioned that it's UK only, and doesn't apply elsewhere. And it should be mentioned that you only charge a third of the battery in 4 hours, which is different from a night. Because now most people will think they'll need to wait 3 days to get the battery full, when in real life they'll wake up with a full battery the next morning.

I wonder if this Nissan is particular to attracting pigeons as a bald eagle could do some serious damage. If it's species agnostic it could be interesting for bird watchers to get a closer look at the feathered buddies hopefully without them having to spend time in A&E. The Vets bills are not cheep (pun intended) and bodywork costs could be eggstortionate. I'll get my coat... oh I see you already have it.

[@TassieEV]

Matrix headlights I think you mean like VW has. Weird about the pigeon problem but just means Trafalgar Square won't have as many 'bombers' flying overhead of the people below.

[@DavidKeeDublin]

Totally unbiased video here 😂

[@MrGMawson2438]

It's still to bloody pricey

[@Lewis_Standing]

What do you think they'll try to sell the EV juke or qashqai for? Starting to make them in Sunderland soon

[@charlesbridgford254]

It's just the price. Take it or leave it. I can't afford a Bentley, but I don't whinge about it.

[@toyotaprius79]

That's the problem with every "Tesla Rival" 😕🙄 It has even made Kia/Hyundai a rival for BMWs and Teslas

[@toyotaprius79]

​@@charlesbridgford254 there's every reason to give out about the poor state of health the auto market is in.

[@charlesbridgford254]

Take it or leave it. It won't make the car any cheaper.

[@hartoz]

I don't hate it, but it is overpriced compared to other EVs of its size and capability.

[@rledur]

Nice car, great tech, but absolutely not made for 6 ft + people. First thing to check before pushing your analysis further.

[@serraios1989]

Why not? There are a few videos on YT with 6’6”+ men sitting comfortably inside the Ariya

[@megsman4749]

Wait Tesla is an American brand with chinese level quality. No competition at all.

[@CMCNestT]

I would take the Ioniq 5 over the Ariya. And then there is the new Juniper Model Y coming this summer.

[@Iomar1975]

"...but take the caps lock off so it doesn't look like you're shouting". His knowledge of Tesla fanboys is almost alarmingly accurate.

[@richardfoster6494]

I stop afer 60 seconds. Forget home charging, I do not see any Nissan deticated charging points anywhere in the world lol

[@Electrifyingcom]

Nissan was first with dedicated rapid charging in the UK actually. It was open to all though. And free to use! Those were the days....

[@tonybarton3746]

Pigeons sat in hedges cooing warning Aria 😂😂

[@davidvestey6014]

So everything is good… then they build in features designed just to be annoying. I’ll stick with my second hand iPace then

[@GPR111]

Dull as dishwater but give the people what they want.

RIP Pigeons 🕊️🩸🩸☠️☠️☠️

[@paulvandevlasakker9589]

Seems like a car for me ... I'm not particularly fond of pigeons. 😏😉

[@paul5683]

Why do the British insist on saying they are metric, like how many kilometers per kilo watt hours and then describe how many miles you can get out of a charge?

[@nicolebradley3959]

I'm a tesla owner and sorry tesla is the best! I love my model 3 the old one! ❤

[@seltaeb3302]

Shock horror, having to lean forward just won't do. Do you have a butler at home? He obviously carries you to the car & puts you in it.

[@yingmustang67]

Wich EV is better? Team: Ioniq 5 or Team: Ariya

[@yingmustang67]

My personal choice: Ioniq 5!

[@danielsimpson8371]

Kia ev6 (ioniq 5 a close 2nd).

[@gunaygultekin]

How about Kia Niro?

[@yingmustang67]

@danielsimpson8371 If you take a longer look in terms of 1 year, the Ioniq 5 has grown on me over the EV 6. The EV 6 is still a great EV!

[@yingmustang67]

@gunaygultekin I own a Niro 2019 executive line 64 KWh and I really like this EV, but the recently not so. I think the Ioniq 5 and the Ariya are both on a higher class.... If you like the Niro EV ( not e Niro ), then Hyundai Kona EV 2023 is the better choice!
