Video Summary
Here are the key points and findings from the YouTube video review of the Nissan Ariya electric car:- The Ariya's design is appealing from all angles.
- It is slightly longer, taller, and wider than the Nissan Qashqai.
- The exterior comes in two-tone paint as an option.
- There is a pattern effect on the grill, and the vents are functional.
- The design looks better than that of a Tesla Model Y, VW ID4, Skoda Enyaq, and Ford Mustang Mach-E.
- The price starts at £42,000, which is £15,000 higher than the Qashqai.
- The interior is considered a step up for Nissan, similar to the BMW iX.
- Minimalist interior design includes touch buttons, but they're not the easiest to use and less responsive than in a Ford Mustang Mach-E.
- It includes two screens: one digital driver display and one infotainment touchscreen. The infotainment system is not as slick as some competitors.
- Seat materials feel nice and have NASA-inspired contours to improve blood flow, but the stitching and switch alignment is not consistent.

- The standard range is 220 miles. With a bigger battery, it is 310 miles.
- The range at 70 mph is 145 miles.
- DC charging is at 130 kW.
- Charging at 7 kW at home will take more than overnight.
- It has a 0–60mph in 7.5s
- That the driver thought to be the model to test drive to go 7.88s
- Suspension: It’s a bit busy.
- There’s also quite a bit of wind noise.
- The car has a good steering wheel.
- There are a few safety features as standard.
- Back pillars are huge for those coming from the rear.
- the price isn’t for those who want to keep to a reasonable budget
