For 2024, Nissan slashed the prices of models across the Ariya lineup to better position it to compete in the marketplace. The starting price of the base front-wheel-drive Ariya Engage fell to $39,590. All-wheel-drive adds another $4,000.
Front-wheel-drive Ariyas have 6.3 inches of ground clearance, while all-wheel-drive variants get 6.7 inches. Figures compared to rival EVs but shorter than Rogue's 8.2 inches.
My Ariya Empower+ test car had a single electric motor mounted to the front axle, producing 238 horsepower and 221 lb. ft. of torque. All-wheel-drive variants could reach up to 389 horsepower with a rear axle motor.
The Ariya's 130kW DC fast charging rate allows it to charge from 20% to 80% in 40 minutes, falling behind competitors like Volkswagen ID.4 and Hyundai IONIQ5. Test car rated for a range of 289 miles.
