The Ariya is for those who crave comfort and style more than driving thrills.
Stylish, sophisticated cabin · Cushy front seats
Lukewarm driving experience · Slow charging times
The 2026 Nissan Ariya presents itself as a slick, sophisticated entry in the electric SUV market. It's defined by its well-crafted interior and cushy front seats, making it an ideal companion for long commutes and leisurely drives. We were pleasantly surprised by the ProPilot Assist technology, which effortlessly handles the tedium of stop-and-go traffic. However, the Ariya’s driving experience lacks the verve we enjoy in competitors like the Tesla Model Y. This is a car for those who value a serene ride over performance pizzazz.
Our pick: Engage+ e-4ORCE ($46,760)
vs. Tesla Model Y: While the Ariya impresses with its plush interior, the Model Y edges it out with a more engaging driving experience and faster charging capabilities.
