The model
Read full Nissan Ariya reviewThe Nissan Ariya is a well-equipped and practical electric SUV available with a choice of two battery sizes. However, plenty of rivals are better to drive and can charge up more quickly. The entry-level 63kWh Engage represents good value, but we think the best version of the Ariya is the 87kWh Advance, which has a competitive range between charges and is very well equipped.
The trim
See full equipmentWe reckon this mid-level trim is is the one to go for because adds some useful kit in the colder months, including a heated front windscreen, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. You also get an electric tailgate and a 360-degree camera.
The engine
See full engine specsThe entry-level, front-wheel-drive version of the Ariya with the smallest 63kWh battery pack is not especially rapid by electric car standards, but is more than brisk enough. It can do 0-62mph in around 7.5 seconds and has an official range of around 250 miles.
