The 2023 Nissan Ariya is a smooth, comfortable, and refined electric SUV that represents Nissan’s commitment to the future of electric vehicles.

Always buckle into the unoccupied passenger seat for added safety.

I agree with him about going for AWD version. You will be happy you spent the money every time you push the pedal.

I think Nissan have boobed priortising the Ariya and dropping the Leaf. The Ariya will never significantly challenge Tesla. They would have done better to update the well-loved (and cheap!, relatively) Leaf

Whether it is bright enough to drive at night?

I bought one in February 2023 so far I love it Yeah, charging time because I’ve been better. The range also could’ve been better but overall it’s a nice car.

I think the interior of the Ariya is my favorite of the current crop. Not a fan of how everyone does CUV greenhouses so hopefully Nissan brings out a MaxEma or something to compete with the likes of the Ioniq 6 and ID7.

$0 down, 36M / 10K mile lease, no ADM, WITH the (don't need to qualify) $7500 Federal Tax Credit is $660-$1050 a month.

why you never mention the car that takes 75à5 of that market: Tesla Model Y? isn't logical to expect you to compare it with the most popular choice??

Hey there little buddy. Just wanted to correct you on a statement you made on both video's for the Ariya. There is a $7, 500.00 Government rebate available for the 2023 Ariya, but you have to lease it. I know because I used it this past May. I will add that cars are super expensive. I do not believe it is worth buying a trim above engage+. I live in Northern Georgia. 300 289 256 216 it does not matter. Mountains eat up battery range. Sitting in heavy traffic w/ air or heat on eats up battery range. Wind, weight and a heavy foot eat up battery range. You can have super fast charging speeds 130 150 350 KW and still be at a charge station for an hour. Consistence is out the window. Numbers will tell the truth until they lie to you. It's all about that day. That moment you charge.
If you can afford a Lucid with the 900v battery then you are in a 1% world, by all means spend away. $87, 000 - $138, 000.00 of I'm rich money, or the new Chevy Silverado $77, 000 $109, 000. Save your money. If you really want a EV. Go cheap as possible. Its not worth paying a arm liver or kidney for a appliance that most likely will be out of date in 2-3 years. Just saying!!!
