The 2025 Nissan Ariya, after its successful introduction as Nissan's first new EV following the Leaf, faces the challenge of delivering its EPA-rated range to compete with rivals like Tesla. Equipped with an 87-kWh battery and larger 20-inch wheels, the Ariya is expected to achieve 257 miles combined and 249 miles on the highway. A practical test at 70 mph on a New Jersey highway reveals that achieving these ratings in real-world conditions is vital for its success among a competitive market.
With a fully charged battery, the car set off on the New Jersey turnpike with optimal settings, setting up to assess its real-world range capabilities.
Expectations were high for the Nissan Ariya, which must compete with popular EVs like the Tesla Model Y and Ford Mustang Mach-E.
