2025 Nissan Ariya price and specs

The Nissan Ariya is finally coming to Australia, where the Japanese brand’s long-awaited mid-size electric SUV will be released in early September.

Nissan will offer its Tesla Model Y rival in both single-motor front-wheel drive and dual-motor all-wheel drive configurations, as well as with a pair of batteries, spread across four variants.

Pricing starts at $55,840 before on-road costs for the base Engage variant, and tops out at $71,840 plus on-roads for the dual-motor all-wheel drive Evolve e-4ORCE flagship.

Electric driving range is between 385km and 504km on the WLTP cycle, depending on the variant.

The Ariya is slightly smaller than the petrol/hybrid X-Trail, measuring 85mm shorter but on a 70mm longer wheelbase. Unlike the X-Trail, it’s available only with two rows of seating.

Inside, there are plenty of neat details including soft ‘Andon’ illumination inspired by traditional Japanese lanterns, woodgrain dashboard trim with integrated touch-capacitive buttons featuring haptic feedback, and an available power-sliding centre console.

The Ariya – first revealed in 2020 before entering production in 2022 – is Nissan’s first mid-size electric SUV. It takes on not only the top-selling Model Y, but also the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, Subaru Solterra, Toyota bZ4X, Volkswagen ID.4 and ID.5, and a raft of Chinese rivals.
