Nissan has made some important updates to its ARIYA range, making it more inclusive and varied than ever before. Starting immediately, the entire range will undergo price adjustments. Additionally, two new grades, Engage and Evolve+, will be introduced to the lineup. The ARIYA Engage 2WD is now available with either a 63kWh or 87kWh battery, making it a more affordable option. The ARIYA Evolve+ is a new high-end e-4ORCE model that provides almost 30% more power and faster acceleration.
Why It Matters
Starting August 1, 2023, ARIYA’s pricing will be updated to offer customers a more competitive option. With two new grades and revised pricing, ARIYA’s lineup provides both accessibility and excitement for those looking to switch to electric cars. All current 63kWh ARIYA models will be discounted by £3,000, while all 87kWh variants will be discounted by £3,750. This means that the price difference between the 63kWh and 87kWh batteries is now only £5,000. Prices for the lineup now start at £39,645, with the top-spec ARIYA available from £59,025.
