We have had our Ariya for about 1 1/2 years and its been great. So far no problems. We charge from home so it is dirt cheap . Very quiet and smooth.

Glad you like it. I think a lot of gas car people assume charging an EV is worse than a gas car, because it's slower. When you charge in your garage, it's faster, and cheaper. I have a 2018 Model 3, and it charges fast on a V3 super. Honestly, I'm kind of grateful for the little breaks. My aging body doesn't tolerate sitting for long periods as well as it used to.

In Norway the Ariya starts at $35000 but that is the cheapest trim without the ProPilot stuff and not as many bells and whistles. You reviewed the top trim variant, expect to pay more.

Alanis the design element of the Ariya was a blend of EV Design with traditional design hence the grille panel which also serves as a zone to mount alot of the ADAS sensors behind. "A Nissan spokesperson told Car and Driver that the shield hides the same "suite of sensors and hardware for the ProPilot 2.0 system that is already in use in the Skyline in Japan," so that means sensors for front-facing radar, sonar, and an Around View Monitor camera. Nissan designers and engineers took the time to develop a number of versions of the shield to make sure these sensors actually work through the material used on the concept car. All of these tests mean that Nissan could implement a grille like this on a Skyline and the ProPilot functions would work." - Also note its polycarbonate. Also the reason the Nissan Z uses the same controls from previous models is familiarity and homage to to the prior designs. No Frunk design was to push the mechanicals (Inverter/AC) etc out of the cabin for more interior room its a design choice.

The pricing on this car just doesn’t make any sense. It’s competing against premium and luxury brand hybrid, EV, and gas-powered crossovers from Audi, Lexus, BMW, MB, Genesis, Acura, and more. And of course, there is Tesla with its Model 3 and Y, which both have far better range and performance. If this was 40k, they’d have a much better argument and could actually be competitive.

Not sure why, but the one she's reviewing is the single motor. The dual motor is light years better. 300 miles of range and 400hp.

Wish I could consider it but at the nearly the same price as a Tesla Model Y and lacking the Tesla charging network … it just doesn’t compete and it doesn’t provide a superior ownership experience.

@@NeighborTom guess I could but instead I blame how Electric charging companies have been allowed to operate such poor network infrastructures while still pulling funding for new locations. Building new sites while 30%+ of their existing stations are non-functioning. Tesla received (and continues to receive) similar government funding and has 99%+ uptime. Regardless, a cheap price can’t make up for a poor ownership experience. But then maybe it’s a “Canadian” thing not to settle. Buy once, buy right.
