Nissan Ariya V Tesla Model Y - the pros and cons of each and practicality test

[@rmorales1029]

Ariya looks so much better. Also, I believe Nissan is still the only EV automaker whose EV’s haven’t caught fire.

[@urbanhours7043]

💯

[@bigbrad9976]

True

[@roadrunnerfirebird]

[@Davebohl4]

This is true because Nissan uses nonflammable batteries… it’s the reason I bought a Nissan leaf

[@emilybyers5282]

Im happy with my Ariya

[@kimkimkim8]

I had a Model Y on loan, loved it and will get a long-range next year.

[@charliewhittaker3057]

I have gone for the Ariya. My wife was not comfortable controlling everything through an offset screen was a major issue with the Tesla. Ride comfort and the quality of the cabin came down on the Nissan side too. Also (and this is very subjective) the look. The Tesla looks a bit bland in comparison. Also, Nissan dealers are everywhere and local to most people for servicing and any issues. Tesla centres are few and far between. Both good cars, and if it was just me I probably would have edged towards the Tesla, but the Ariya kept us both happy.

[@bnwarner]

I have the Ariya Premiere, may actually be different, … I prefer the Nissan Display because it is NOT a tablet in the middle of the vehicle.

[@bnwarner]

I don’t plan on smuggling anyone internationally. No mention of Heads-up display, which is amazing. Android Auto has been be connected to one of the USB ports. This is an Android issue. My Premiere’s range is 289. Bottom line is it is strictly a personal choice. My nephew loves his Tesla. I love my Ariya Premiere. Both with an adapter and EVGo network support on Ariya, there may be a charger advantage on the road, but again, that will depend on where you live. I purchased my first EV in 2012 (Nissan LEAF). Haven’t visited a gas station in 12 years. Maintenance is pretty much tire rotation. The Ariya I purchased came with lifetime maintenance and a 10 year 100,000 year warranty.

[@tallbrit1]

I have the Premiere. I love it!!!!

[@NakisaSoltanKashefi]

I'm sorry but I was obvious that you like the Tesla more, so I don't think this was a fair comparison. For example you didn't mention the great HUD in Ariya. So much nitpicking was going on towards Ariya which didn't happen with Tesla. For me Ariya looks much better and is way more practical.

I have purchased Ariya month back. That was the choice for family car from multiple angles. I like pressing classic buttons. I dislikes huge tablets on electric cars. Nissan keeps classic panel with dedicated sensor control buttons as on ICE cars. Waiting for delivery.

[@roadrunnerfirebird]

Who need a HUD?

[@st200ol]

I’ve had an Ariya for seven months now. It’s been a great car. I get 3.9m/kWh over the summer months. Would I have another, yes, would I have a Tesla yes. I chose the Nissan because the dealer is close and convenient, which is a primary requirement for me.

[@jonathantaylor1998]

Love these back-to-back car comparisons, Richard and Team - just brilliant and are SO informative for those potential buyers lucky enough to have both these fabulous cars on their shortlist. 👍

[@RSEV]

Our pleasure!

[@marketbuy]

The one take away i got from this video was that the Ariya can also fit 15 small boxes. I thought it would be less than the MY. The Ariya does not have a frunk but it has really roomy front floor. This allows me to put a dog bed on the front floor for my pooch to lay down next to me. Since owning the Ariya, I don't allow my dog to sit on my leather seats (light gray leather seats). It's really a bonus to have roomy front floor instead of a drunk. Most times, I lay my gym bag next to me too.

Thank you for an excellent comparison video, Richard. There are always parts of each car that I wish that I could combine into my ideal electric car.

[@alijoon1621]

Ariya cabin is just a nicer place to be. Its amazing how far Nissan engineers went to make Ariya as quiet as possible. Everything that may make vibration or noise inside the cabin is wrapped or made of softer material. All around double pane glass. Tesla doesn't give you that.

[@HarryCaelers]

Living in Brisbane, Australia, we found the Model Y glass roof to be a real drawback when we had our test drive. No way to close off the heat from the sun. I know there is an after market internal sliding roof you can buy, but looked like a cheap after thought. Interested to know what the Nissan has in this regard. 🤔🤔

[@marketbuy]

Ariya has a motorized sunshade cover. Best in class

[@BrisbaneTeslaGuy]

Yeah but it’s Nissan, they are likely to bankrupt In The next 12months so buyer beware, having said that we are also from Brisbane and had a Nissan murano for 10 years, when we wanted to upgrade to the Ariya they were simply not interested In Selling it to us even though it was 3 months away. so we got a Volvo and a model 3 also both best in class I think.

[@marketbuy]

@@BrisbaneTeslaGuy Nissan just reported $1.4B in profits in Q2 ‘23. They raised their revenues guidance for the rest of 2023. Hardly “bankrupt”. Go educate yourself. I also have both Prius Prime and Volvo EX30 on order with my $500 deposits. Tesla Model 3 is soooo YESTERDAY! I suggest you look into Volvo EX30 and while you’re at it, go test drive a Nissan Ariya.

Hi, great video! I have a 23’ model Y rwd and I agree with all your short comings of the Y. I’d also add that it can feel quite echoey inside, especially if you’re in the rear, although I run without a parcel shelf due to having a dog, I also have rubber mats in over the carpet ones. The firm ride also booms through the cabin a lot! Wouldn’t change it though.

[@OverEntusiast]

Considering the Model Y RWD myself. What kind of range do you get in the winter?

[@Joe-lb8qn]

Interesting, the Ariya has come outa lot better than i thought. However a quick look at prices, the Ariya is up to £60k in the LR version, the Y £53k.

[@marketbuy]

Ariya has way many more features than a bare bone Model Y. *Panoramic moonroof that opens and closes * Has motorized sunshade cover * Has rear spoiler with rear wiper * Has tonneau cover *Has an electronic glove box *Has blind spot indicator * Has HUD * Has 10-11 airbags vs Model Y 8 airbags * Has rear view mirror cam *Has Apple Car play/Android Audio *Has beautiful interior and exterior lightings * Has Aerial Birds Eye 360 view *Etc etc How much do you think these features on the Ariya should cost vs Model Y minimalism? The ride in the Ariya is buttersmooth. Everyone i knoww who owns a Model Y thinks Ariya is the best drive in it's class.

[@rocket3man]

Yes but the Tesla has the efficiency, charging convenience and the performance and handling which in terms of daily driving is more relevant. Don’t forget the updates and speed of the infotainment screen that are constantly being updated and improved. I would not change my Tesla for anything else at the moment.

[@marketbuy]

@@rocket3man There’s no reason to buy a Tesla since everyone will be using Tesla SuperCharger network in late 2024. You’re welcome to enjoy your iPad on wheels. I prefer luxury driving in my Ariya. It’s a huge difference night and day. I’ve had a few people who own MY P and when I let them test drive my Ariya they were amazed by the smooth driving of the Ariya. I know MY rides harsh and bumpy. Difference strokes for different folks.

[@marketbuy]

@@rocket3man Im not rich. I’m just sharing my opinion as an Ariya owner. Too many people talk up Tesla but the cost of ownership for Tesla is very expensive vs Nissan Ariya (car insurance). My main reason for buying Ariya is because of Nissan’s 12 yrs experience in electrification and the dealer service network.

Great video, I test drove the Aryia and Model Y and came to same opinion, except I thought the Y interior was naff when directly compared with the Nissan and found the HUD and dash screens the winner, but it was very close!

[@henvan8737]

In Australia the Model-3 and Y come standard with matrix head lights.

[@NickFoster]

They do in the UK too but they don't behave like matrix headlights (except for the daft lightshow thing)

[@zoltrix7779]

[@rsheppydog]

I have a few friends that use move the center console back and then bring out the front storage compartment and use it for their laptop/chromebook/macbook stand and perform work in their vehicle from it. The HUD is also excellent and is much more in tune with the driver then always having to take your eyes off the road in order to see anything in the Tesla. The cooled seats are something you cannot live without once you have them, it’s so similar to heated seats or heated steering wheel. When in my friends Teslas on very hot sunny days we have all commented on why they do not have a cooled seat option after having been in several other cars that all have cooled and heated seats.

[@WhiteArtsMagic]

The design of the lights and front of the car is based off of traditional Japanese kumiko wood working The hidden compartment that uses the button to pull out is also useful to put your computer on it if you are working on the go, or taking some time while charging. Because of its flat top its not the most practical to just be a mechanical pull out. Its nice that its electrical. This is also your nice big storage area. It was moved from the console in the middle, to the front hidden pull out Platinum+ AWD is 0-60 in under 5 seconds. Something like 4.5 seconds

[@adrianastephens5145]

I have seen other drivers literally slow down a turn their heads to get a good look. (I have the Northern lights “color”.

How does the insurance compare - we’ve just had our renewal quote through for our M3P and MYLR - it has gone up by £1800 per year! I’ve shopped around and I can’t get anywhere near the renewal price. Insane! I can only see it getting worse with the new cars not having sensors and relying on Vision - I’ve already seen a few new ones that have rounded the corners…

[@K22MDL]

Great video and having a Model Y Performance, Ariya 87kW Evolve eForce and a BMW iX MSport50 to choose as a daily driver (until the Ariya goes next week!) I agree with your comparison. I find the ride quality of the Y shocking when compared to the Ariya (the iX 50 is in a different league to both) and to confirm the Nissan has wired Android Auto. Good review!!

I've tesr driven all 3. I currently own Ariya Evolve+. Ariya is by far buttersmooth ride. With dual pane windows, the sound is deafening. The Ariya drives way better than my father's Lexus LS460

[@alangravy27]

Another great video, really enjoyed it. I agree with many of the comments that if you could merge the best bits of both you would have a fantastic car.

Will see if can film q4 this week and how many of those ilea boxes will it fit? 🤔

[@ezpoppy55]

Excellent comparison, especially with Mark, the human pretzel! Myself, I’d go with the Y RWD here in the States. Better tech in every aspect (in car, route planning, phone app, OTA updates), better charging and superior charging network. Personally, I like a slightly firmer ride, and the Y’s interior is better for me (appearance, storage, features). Very much enjoy your videos - you’ve got a great team!

[@RSEV]

Thank you 👍

[@ravnOne65]

I agree that 130KW is not very good compare to Tesla, But anyway you can use the Tesla charging network with the Ariya.

[@francisdoran971]

The space under the bonnet of the Ariya must be massive. I was cooking dinner so only listening to the video. You said there was just enough room for a Leaf there? I know the Leaf isn't a big car, but to be able to fit in the Ariya's frunk. Wow!😆

[@paul5683]

I don't understand the big draw of a frunk. To use the frunk you have to open the drivers door, hunt for the release in the footwell, walk around to the front and then realize that you had to pull the release lever twice. Compared to a powered lift gate. Push the button it opens, push the button and it closes. Easy.

[@ravnOne65]

Frunk is a totally pointless

[@francisdoran971]

I tested both and found Aryia feels better comfort, better build quality, seems better protected against corrosion. Y has much better handling at high speeds. The weak side of Aryia is its low top speed, it feels that its not made for long fast travels.. but for everyday family use the thing that would ultimately make Y the better choiche is cheaper charging. Charging Y with Tesla cheaper priced chargers available all around is an advantage. TM3 without stalks is not good, so if stalks disapear on Y I wouldnt consider Y at all.

What’s the point of a car that you can’t do a long trip in. The Tesla supercharger network means there is only one choice. Plus the software of the Tesla is way better. The Tesla is way quicker and the audio system amazing. It’s just not a competition.

[@davidtolson7680]

I’ve done plenty of long trips in the Ariya

[@scottcameron8936]

Well I did Alnwick, Newcastle, Gretna, Ayrshire on one charge with 25% left at speed limits no problems at all in an Ariya.

[@rambleon1182]

It’s a fair point on the chargers but the build quality is dire, I bought a new model y in June and Tesla can’t and have no idea how to stop the rattles, they told me that all teslas model y’s rattle and that it’s something I have to put up with, sorry Elon the Model Y has now gone

[@monk3yboy69]

No car with these sorts of price tags should have rattles.

Nissan Ariya wins for me. Better ride and driving experience. Didn’t like model Y hard ride. Ariya is a pleasant surprise.

[@megsman4749]

Quality test.

Hey simon @ 12.50 it sounded like you said an offensive word edit it if you can saves you trouble. Plus i know whay you ment

[@davidk4682]

Excellent, thanks

[@newbeginnings8566]

If half the price I'd have the Nissan... Maybe after the usual EV cliff face depreciation I will have a look..

[@ProsixOfficial]

The nissan looks much much better but the Y has the same range with a battery almost twice as small. After 3 test drives with both cars I realised that I better keep money in my pocket. I choose the Y. When will these car industry realize that we want range and low prices not gimmicks

[@ravnOne65]

Battery wise I am agree

[@1510km]

I've driven both. Nissan drives a lot better, a lot more comfortable, much better quality. Obviously looks so much better as well..

17:08 Mark is amazing as he can fold himself into any shape and he is quite handsome as well! All of the ladies and some of the men might be in love with him,
