2024 Nissan Ariya

Engine Type

Unlike the soon-to-be discontinued Leaf, equipped only with front-wheel drive, Nissan is pulling from features developed in other cars, including the GT-R sports car’s torque-split system, to offer optional all-wheel drive via a dual-front/rear-electric-motor configuration. For example, the front-wheel drive model hits 60 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds but the more powerful e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive Ariya is significantly quicker. The e-4ORCE Platinum+ trim accelerates from zero to 60 miles per hour in 5.0 seconds, a feat that is similar to higher-end electric vehicles. Indeed, the 2024 Ariya provides a stable, calm ride that should please most buyers.

What’s new for 2024?

Nissan makes no significant changes to the all-electric Ariya for 2024, but it is instituting price cuts across the lineup for the new model year.

Exterior Features

The 2024 Nissan Ariya possesses an attractive exterior, setting into motion a revamped theme that should grace future Nissan electric vehicles. The Ariya SUV’s broad and tall front fascia sports a non-functional V-shaped grille; it breathes for some battery cooling through side air intakes that flank the nose. That grille tapers into a band of chrome that arrows down the automobile’s roofline to outline its shape precisely. Nissan fits standard 19-inch wheels with attractive aerodynamic wheel covers, while 20-inch wheels are an option. Of note, SUV cues are extensively reduced: the Ariya does not wear any needless rubberized cladding.

Interior Features

The Ariya crossover’s interior appears minimalistic and futuristic. Nissan has discarded every button possible in pursuit of a smooth dashboard that favors a sleek look to match the design of the exterior. To that end, the cabin provides a serene atmosphere. A flat, low floor creates a spacious feeling inside, and Nissan has included its comfortable zero-gravity seats into the design.

Entertainment

In the 2024 Ariya, dual 12.3-inch displays serve as the infotainment screen and the digital gauge cluster. Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and in-dash navigation are all standard features. A head-up display and wireless smartphone charging are available as well. Moreover, the infotainment system features a built-in voice assistant and Amazon Alexa.

Safety Features and Warranty

The Ariya comes outfitted with a wealth of safety features, not least of which is ProPilot 2.0. Nissan’s second generation of the ProPilot driver-assistance technology is an optional feature. To clarify, the system allows drivers to remove their hands from the wheel in certain driving scenarios. Additionally, ProPilot Park is a feature that assists the driver by controlling the steering, accelerator, brakes, gear shift, and parking brake. There is even an Intelligent Around View Monitor with four cameras that offers a comprehensive view of the Ariya from multiple perspectives, including a 360-degree bird’s-eye view. Standard features include lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist and automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection. In terms of warranty, the limited warranty covers three years or 36,000 miles, while the powertrain warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles. There is also battery protection that stretches over eight years or 100,000 miles.
