Positive Review
Had the Ariya for about six months now, after about three years with a Kia e-Niro 4+ as an intro to EV driving. It was fun but the newer version isn't, and the EV6 was big and clunky. The Ariya is a dream to drive in town and on long journeys. It is so much smoother, more comfortable and has better tech, plus chose the AWD Evolve version, so better stability and performance with added reassurance in the mud, wet, and of course occasional snow. The Ariya is only a little bigger than the Niro and about 9cm taller but internal space is a world apart, as is just about everything else. There is more body roll in corners if you push it, but for an SUV that is to be expected. Overall the only criticism I have is about the two screens, they are not Ultra HD, which is a shame, as that really would have placed this car in the pure luxury category.
Critical Review
The car part is fine, gets 300+ in the summer and 250+ in the winter. Stable ride. Heated seats and steering wheel. Electronics are counter-intuitive, require a lot of eyes-off-the road just to work the climate control. Almost every control is touch, and not very resonsive

Many standard features, very quiet interior, paint is flawless.
I purchased my 2024 Ariya about 9 months ago, happy to report Nissan has done an excellent job with this vehicle. Top notch quality inside and out, an absolute dream to drive. In Eco mode I am averaging just under 300 miles per charge. Put this baby into sport mode and it will snap your head back! The interior is extremely high quality; materials seem perfectly assembled and would look at home in any high-end luxury vehicle. Amazingly, there are actual haptic buttons for climate control and other frequently used features, better than everything buried in the touchscreen like so many other EVs. IIHS rates this vehicle as a Top Safety Pick, understandable given just how solid it feels. Overall, an excellent vehicle that I am hoping will provide years of problem-free driving.
Comfortable ride, nice range. This is an excellent car. We can drive for 300 miles in the summer on one charge.
Provides good range
controls are unfriendly

Easy driving in comfort.
Software could always be better.

I have owned this car for several months drives like a car less jarring than usual SUV good acceleration get close to 310 miles per charge if you want to pass plenty of power if you like driving 80 mph this is the wrong vehicle. If you drive 65-70 you will get the range invest 500 in a home charger and stop the gas craze.so far very pleased.
The ARIYA has been on my "want" list for months. The amazing robotic production process inspires confidence that the car is very well made. So, imagine my disappointment when during the reservation process for the top of the line eForce AWD model when their were only 4 color paint schemes available for the vehicle! The cooper/black is NOT an option! Incredible that buyers for their most expensive model are denied the very nice looking copper/black color when it is offered on lower prices ARIYA models. Bad!
