Reviewers are impressed with the Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE AWD [Updated]

2023-03-22 / Robert Vinet

The all-electric Nissan Ariya is a big leap forward from it’s first EV, the Nissan Leaf. With its distinctive styling, roomy interior, and reasonably generous range, the new Nissan Ariya caught a lot of attention when it went on sale earlier this year. Competing with Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, Tesla Model Y, and Volkswagen ID.4, the Ariya is now dialling things up with the debut of the e-4ORCE (pronounced “e-force”) AWD package.
