Nissan Australia has launched the Ariya electric SUV, marking the brand’s second battery electric vehicle offering following the Leaf hatchback.
The Ariya is available in four trim levels with pricing starting from $55,840 for the base Engage model, rising to $71,840 for the range-topping Evolve e-4ORCE variant.
Two battery options are offered across the range – a 63kWh unit providing up to 385km of driving range, and an 87kWh battery delivering up to 504km. The top-specification Evolve features Nissan’s e-4ORCE dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, producing 320kW of combined power and 600Nm of torque.
“It’s exciting to see Nissan’s long history in the Australian electric vehicle space continue in the Ariya, which pairs incredible design, a clever and spacious interior, intelligent driving systems with advanced battery and motor technology to deliver a truly thrilling drive,” said Warwick Daly, deputy director of marketing and mobility at Nissan Australia.
The electric SUV measures 4595mm in length and 1850mm in width, with a 2775mm wheelbase. DC fast charging capability reaches 130kW, allowing a 10 to 80 per cent charge in 35 minutes, while AC charging supports up to 22kW.
