Nissan made driving an EV a lot safer.
Nissan’s first fully electric vehicle since the Leaf is a great little crossover that puts safety over acceleration. It may be late to the game, but it can stand shoulder to shoulder with the rest of the market.Before the Tesla Model 3 dominated the EV landscape, there was the Nissan Leaf: a small hatchback with a tiny battery and tiny range that was the best-selling EV in the world for years.
The Ariya, to its credit, drove through the corner without issue as I planted my foot into the floor. A second demonstration that had us run a short slalom course also highlighted the vehicle’s sure-footedness. With help from the all-wheel drive drivetrain, even when plowing through puddles, the crossover felt firmly planted to the asphalt both on the highway and two-lane roads bookmarked by grapevines. Cornering was solid, with very little body roll at normal speeds. The weather reduced any chances of high-speed cornering on public roads.
The biggest head-scratcher is the lack of one-pedal driving. The Nissan Leaf helped popularize the ability to lift off the accelerator and have the EV come to a full stop. The Ariya lacks that capability. Nissan says it’s not what customers want. Fans of the feature may differ, and it would have made sense to at least add the feature and let drivers decide on their own.
Sure, you can take your hands off, but they need to be ready to take over at any moment. I typically end up resting my hands on the wheel. They may work great 99 percent of the time, but it’s good to be ready for that 1 percent error.The interior of the Ariya is something you’d expect to find on a much more expensive vehicle. Nissan is using Kumiko patterns throughout the interior to recreate the feeling of lanterns both in the doors and below the dash.
