Video Summary

Here's the summary of the YouTube video review:

The Nissan Ariya's design is unusual and some features are unique. The Ariya is an SUV and this body style is desirable for EVs as it allows for batteries to be hidden easier in the floor without changing exterior. The suspension is fine, but at braking, the car's two-ton weight is obvious. In a dual carriage way, with outdoor temp around 10°C at 120km/h, power usage averaged at 24.5kWh/100km, whereas at 2°C with headwind the level rose to 28.5kWh. The 87kWh battery provides between 300km-350km distance for every charge. Acceleration from 0-100km/h tested at 8.6s, in comparison to manufacturer's data of 7.6. The sound-proofing is okay, as is the e-pedal recuperation braking. Rear seats look luxurious, however, there aren't side vents, also lacks the third zone for the climate control, also there is a folding center armrest with the cup holders. Android Auto needs a cable, but there is a place to wrap cables around. Induction charger only works for iPhones. On highways, lane assist sometimes gives error alerts and passenger side mirror vibrates at faster pace. Overall, the price as tested for the top trim front wheel drive model with two-tone paint is 65,990 Euros. Infotainment system lacks up-to-date information and is not quite modern, such as bad route planning, therefore external apps needed. Overall, car is an appealing vehicle and great to drive.
