The Nissan Ariya is a revolutionary car for the automaker—or, it has the opportunity to be. I just wish more people knew about it.
The Ariya is Nissan’s first all-new electric car since the Leaf, which debuted in 2010 with a starting price of about $30,000. The Leaf was the first mass-produced EV in history, and it’s been integral to Nissan’s modern car history because it was electric, widely availabe, and affordable. But the Leaf is old now, and as EV technology evolves—and the market expands to more expensive, cushier offerings—a model like the Ariya is necessary for Nissan’s EV business to stay relevant.
Revolutionary car would cost much less, like in 20 ish range. Hello BYD.
It still a Nissan.
The reviews have largely been meh. And it took them ages to actually bring it to market. It’s just not enough.
