The New 2023 Nissan Ariya

Modernity is in full motion with the arrival of the new 2023 Nissan Ariya. This all-electric SUV is a great addition to Nissan's electric vehicle lineup alongside the popular Leaf model. The Ariya packs an impressive amount of power, and drivers will be able to enjoy up to 304 miles of driving range with certain configurations. Read on to learn more about this exciting model and what it has to offer.


2023 Nissan Ariya Specs

A Nissan vehicle is nothing if not a good performer. The 2023 Ariya upholds this expectation well with specs to show for it.

Engine: The Ariya features an electric engine and comes with a one-speed direct drive transmission.

Horsepower: This electric SUV produces an impressive 214 horsepower.

Battery: The 2023 Ariya offers drivers two different battery size options of standard 63.0 kWh and 87.0 kWh.

Range: The EPA electricity range offered by this year's lineup is 216 miles with the standard 66 kWh battery. This jumps substantially to 304 miles if you've chosen to go with the larger 87.0 kWh battery.

Seating: With a seating capacity of five, this SUV has enough space to comfortably accommodate everyday families and groups of friends.

Payload: The Ariya has a maximum payload capacity of 990 lbs, which is more than reasonable for an electric SUV of its size.


Design and Dimensions

It's not always about looks. But when you're preparing to make an investment in something as important as a car, aesthetics should always factor into the equation. See below for an overview of the 2023 Ariya's design features and dimensions.


Exterior Design

Nissan is known for producing vehicles with characteristically-sharp and angular lines. This model breaks away from that tradition, introducing a more curved, low-sitting, and sportier concept into the brand's portfolio.


Dimensions and Weight

The Ariya is a medium-sized vehicle that has just enough room for cargo and passengers alike, without sacrificing much in the way of aesthetic appeal. It's 182.9 inches long, has an overall width of 74.8 inches without mirrors, height of 65.4 inches, and wheelbase of 109.3 inches. It also has an EPA interior volume of 124.0 cu.ft and a curb weight of 4,323 lbs.


2023 Nissan Ariya Configurations

Going with the Nissan Ariya gives you plenty of control with respect to battery size and drivetrain; choose between 63.0 kWh and 87.0 kWh worth of power in either all wheel or front wheel drive. The latter options are more expensive but provide more range for those who need it.


Technology and Features

Aboard the 2023 Ariya awaits a number of exciting features, starting with Nissan's updated driver-assistance system—ProPilot 2.0. There's also Nissan's ProPilot Assist, which assists with steering to keep the vehicle centered in its lane and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles while driving. Other advanced driver-assist features include Blind Spot Warning, Rear Automatic Braking, and Traffic Sign Recognition. And of course, infotainment and convenience features are abundant. The Ariya boasts a large touchscreen with smartphone and Bluetooth compatibility.


Warranty

Like any big purchase, it's reasonable to want a decent warranty to go along with it. The 2023 Nissan Ariya offers just that, with a basic warranty covering the vehicle for 3 years or 36,000 miles. The SUV's battery also comes with a warranty of eight years or 100,000 miles.


2023 Nissan Ariya Trim Levels

Not all Nissan Ariya SUVs are made equal. Six different trims set the tone for the 2023 model year. Read below for a basic rundown of the ENGAGE, ENGAGE+, VENTURE+, EVOLVE+, EMPOWER+, and PLATINUM+.


ENGAGE

The 2023 Ariya ENGAGE is among the most cost-effective options in this year's collection, but by no means is it the least impressive. This SUV boasts countless standard features that would make you think it's the top of the line.

Premium synthetic seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and on-board infotainment system are just a few of the highlights. The exterior shows off LED headlights, dynamic-looking body lines, and sleek 19" x 7.5" aluminum wheels.

To top it all off, you get the same reliable performance offered by every vehicle in this lineup with a 63-kWh battery and advanced front wheel drive motor capable of generating 214 horsepower. There's even the option to upgrade to an all wheel drive 335 horsepower setup if you so choose.

Standout Features

Two Interior Color Options: As if the premium leatherette wasn't already enough, this trim gives you the option to choose between two interior color options, Charcoal and Light Gray.

Dark Satin-Chrome Exterior Trim: Exude sophistication with the Ariya's dark satin-chrome exterior trim. It's a subtle but classy way to stand out from the pack.


ENGAGE+

If you like the offerings of the ENGAGE but are in search of a little more, why not consider the ENGAGE+? As the name suggests, this trim is essentially an enhancement of the former in terms of on-board features and capabilities.

From the outside, it's hard to tell the two apart. The only discernible difference can be noted in the ENGAGE+'s slightly reduced ground clearance. With more power under the hood - an uprated dual-motor system with 389 horsepower and larger 87-kWh battery pack - this model is also 291 pounds heavier. All wheel drive capabilities come standard, meaning you'll have no trouble getting through rough terrain.

Standout Features

e-4ORCE AWD: With its dual-motor setup, the ENGAGE+ delivers more power than you could ever expect from an SUV, let alone an electric one.

Woodgrain Interior Trim: This touch of classicism is one of many aesthetic features to be found in the interior of the Ariya ENGAGE+.


VENTURE+

The VENTURE+ resembles its counterparts in many ways, embodying the same overall look in standard color options like Black Diamond Pearl and Gun Metallic. What you're paying more for here is extra performance. This trim is only available with the large 87-kWh battery, which, despite taking slightly longer to charge at 14 hours, affords drivers another 88 miles of range. It's worth seriously considering this option if you're buying for performance before anything else. Even so, the VENTURE+ doesn't shortchange on features and still includes plenty of must-haves, like dual 12.3-inch displays, a six-speaker audio system, and trimmed leather steering wheel.

Standout Features

Keyless Entry: Groceries? Kids? Bags? No more juggling them all while fiddling for your keys. The Ariya VENTURE+ features keyless entry, allowing you to unlock the doors with just a touch of the handle.

Dual-Zone Climate Control: Offering separate settings for drivers and passengers, this trim's dual-zone climate control system keeps everyone comfortable throughout any journey.


EVOLVE+

The EVOLVE+ is a very flexible trim that allows buyers to customize the performance they get on the road - namely through the options of both front wheel drive and all wheel drive. The first configuration delivers a respectable 238 horsepower at a more cost-effective price, while the e-4ORCE AWD version comes with 389 horsepower, which may or may not be necessary depending on what you plan on using the vehicle for.

In either case, drivers of this trim can look forward to a slew of on-board features, from a wireless charging pad and HomeLink transceiver to surround-view camera, digital rearview mirror, and Divide-N-Hide cargo-management system. Everything ties together to make an SUV that's as convenient as it is versatile.

Standout Features

Panoramic Moonroof: Who doesn't love natural light? The panoramic moonroof of the EVOLVE+ offers an unobstructed view of the sky above, while also bringing some much-needed air into the cabin.

Heated Front and Rear Seats: No one's backside is discriminated against by this trim. Heated front and rear seats let every passenger on board enjoy the luxury of a warm, cozy ride all year round.


EMPOWER+

This next trim is very similar to the EVOLVE+, with only a few differences to note. The biggest is the drivetrain; it's only available in front wheel drive. This can be a good thing if you're looking for more life out of your tires. Another major change comes in the way of driver assistance.

The EMPOWER+ is much techier than the EVOLVE+, offering a number of advanced features that prove we're truly in the future of automobile design. The trim is equipped with Nissan’s advanced ProPilot Assist 2.0 system, which provides auto-steering technology and lane centering. It also has ProPilot Park, a new feature that helps drivers park with automatic shifting and brake control.

Something else that the kids are sure to find cool - the EMPOWER+ features special multi-color LED line lighting along its dashboard that changes depending on the modes and context the vehicle is used in.

Standout Features

ProPilot Assist 2.0: This safety feature is one of Nissan's most advanced yet. It provides auto-steering technology and lane centering, so you can focus on the road ahead.

Traction Control: The EMPOWER+ includes Traction Control, a feature that helps drivers maintain traction on wet and slippery roads.


PLATINUM+

How can you tell when a car is premium? When it only gives you the best options in capacity, drivetrain, and interior finishes. The PLATINUM+ is exclusively available with the 2023 Ariya's most capable 389 horsepower engine. Its all wheel drive powertrain and 87-kWh battery both come standard to ensure maximum performance and range.

Inside, you'll discover an expanded memory system, ventilated front seats, and ten-speaker Bose audio system. This trim also touts Blue Gray Nappa leather upholstery - a true touch of luxury in an already-sophisticated and impressive electric SUV.

Standout Features

LED Side Mirror Turn Signals: The PLATINUM+ is the only trim in the 2023 Ariya lineup to include LED turn signals in its side mirrors.

Larger 20" x 8" Wheels: Roll up in style with 20" x 8" wheels for an added level of prestige and elegance.
