“Nissan today revealed the all-new Nissan Ariya electric crossover, marking a new chapter for Nissan electric vehicles. The EV premiered globally through a virtual event hosted at the soon-to-open Nissan Pavilion in Yokohama, Japan.
Ariya – Nissan's first all-electric crossover SUV – offers powerful acceleration and smooth, quiet operation, as well as an interior with a welcoming, luxurious lounge-like atmosphere. Its stress-free advanced driver assistance features, concierge-like assistance and seamless connectivity heightens on-road confidence and provides a welcoming environment for the driver and passengers.” - Dave 😉

They don't mention the price has already gone up £3,000 in the UK even before it's launched - since the grant cap has been lowered from £50k to £35k.

Interesting comparison video - it uses manufacturer visuals so not a direct comparison, but does show how comparatively close the Ariya and Ionic 5 are - and of course the Kia EV6 will be pretty close too.



Nissan needs to get the Ariya to the market though - you can already order an EV6 (for October delivery)

The EV vehicles look, to me, far better than the new models with a petrol engine! Maybe it is a conspiracy to force electrification upon us all , regardless of all drawbacks !!!???? :-)

In Belgium there is great intrest in EVs... as company cars that get tax cuts. Otherwise, as someone who has to pay for a car myself.... No incentive at all.
However, I do firmly believe the qashqai j12 will be the very last petrol version!
