Nissan Ariya EV will start at $43,190

<p>After years of hype (https://www.engadget.com/nissan-electric-car-ariya-052306996.html), Nissan is finally close to releasing its first electric crossover (https://www.engadget.com/nissan-ariya-suv-ev-video-180702732.html). Autoblognotes (https://www.nissanusa.com/ariya.html) the brand has confirmed (https://usa.nissannews.com/en-US/releases/all-new-2023-nissan-ariya-electric-crossover-pricing-starts-at-43190) the Ariya EV will reach US dealerships in late fall starting at $43,190 for the front-wheel drive Engage trim with a 63kWh battery. Only FWD configurations will ship at first, with some all-wheel drive editions waiting until early 2023. Customers who reserved the Venture+ model will still pay the quoted $45,950 price instead of the $47,190 for new buyers.</p><p>That starter Engage variant delivers an estimated 216 miles of range and 214HP. That's modest, but you'll also get a solid technology suite with driver and safety aids (such as hands-on ProPilot Assist (https://www.engadget.com/2017-07-23-nissan-propilot-us-launch-prep.html)), a heads-up display and a 12.3-inch infotainment system with Alexa, wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto. It's clearly meant to lower the Ariya's perceived price and upsell you to higher-end models, but it might do the trick if you're mainly interested in an around-town people carrier.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>You'll have to pay considerably more to get Nissan's previously touted performance figures. The Venture+ jumps to an 87kWh battery, 238HP and the peak 304 miles of range. All other front-wheel trims offer up to 289 miles of range. The $50,190 Evolve+ FWD offers perks like a power moonroof and an &quot;around view&quot; monitor, while the $53,690 Empower+ FWD includes hands-free ProPilot Assist 2.0 (https://www.engadget.com/2019-05-16-nissan-skyline-propilot-2-driver-assist.html) and automated parking.</p><p>All-wheel drive, as usual, boosts power and prices while decreasing range. The $47,190 Engage e-4orce tops out at just 205 miles of range, but delivers 335HP. The $51,190 Engage+ e-4orce extends that range to 270 miles while delivering 389HP and the extras of its FWD counterpart. The Evolve+ e-4orce costs $54,190, while those who insist on the best can buy the $60,190 Platinum+ with 265 miles of range, a hands-free liftgate and Nappa leather seating along with other models' luxuries.</p><p>The Ariya may not be the most value-laden EV. There's no mention of the destination fee, and the Japanese manufacturing rules out the updated $7,500 federal tax credit (state credits might still be valid). All the same, the machine may be worth considering if Ford's Mustang Mach-E (https://www.engadget.com/ford-mustang-mach-e-orders-open-2023-model-year-203130517.html), the VW ID.4 (https://www.engadget.com/vw-2023-id4-pricing-release-date-165237007.html) and other electric crossovers don't quite offer the blend of design or technology you're looking for.</p>
