The world’s leading automakers are turning their attention to building more sustainable vehicles that reduce our carbon footprints without forcing us to compromise performance, reliability, or longevity. This push to “Go Green” has skyrocketed the number of new electric vehicles on the market, but one automaker isn’t exactly new to the field. Nissan forever changed the automotive landscape with the all-electric LEAF back in 2011 and is at it again, using its ingenuity to deliver the LEAF’s bigger, more advanced sibling––the 2024 Nissan ARIYA.
Spacious, well-equipped, engaging, and extremely innovative, the 2024 ARIYA is among the most attractive and best-value all-electric SUVs available today. For 2024, Nissan celebrates by exceeding every expectation and reducing the ARIYA’s price tag. The 2024 ARIYA starts at $39,590, a savings of over $3,000 compared to last year, with the top-tier trim outfitted with every feature and luxury imaginable for a modest $54,190.[a]
The 2024 ARIYA’s more affordable price tag is better appreciated because of its value-oriented packaging. Nissan doesn’t require drivers to compromise but offers tangible value throughout the ARIYA lineup. We see this value in the ARIYA’s innovative driver-assist technologies like ProPILOT Assist 2.0 and ProPILOT Park. It’s also apparent in the ARIYA’s driving range of 304 miles, which guarantees drivers can confidently travel further on a fully charged battery.
What else makes the 2024 Nissan ARIYA a standout in the segment? What type of performance and range can you expect? How does the ARIYA usher in a new era of modernization for the Nissan fleet? It’s time to find out with a closer look at the stunning all-electric SUV.

While vehicle costs are steadily rising across the industry, Nissan is doing the unthinkable and going against the trend by giving drivers more for their money. The 2024 ARIYA introduces a new, more affordable price tag of $39,590, a savings of $3,600 on the entry-level trim.[a] The top-tier ARIYA trim starts at $54,190, a price tag that’s $6,000 cheaper than its 2023 predecessor.[a] Does this mean that Nissan cut corners and is offering fewer comforts, conveniences, and technologies in the 2024 ARIYA? Fortunately, it doesn’t.
The 2024 ARIYA is available as a front-wheel or all-wheel drive SUV with a few variations in the trim lineup depending on the drivetrain. For example, the ARIYA’s front-wheel drive lineup includes the Engage, Venture+, Evolve+, and Empower+ trims. Alternatively, the ARIYA trims with e-4ORCE all-wheel drive include the Engage, Engage+, Evolve+, and Platinum+. Notably, the top Platinum+ trim is limited to the all-wheel drive ARIYA. So, what differences will you find beyond the drivetrain?
The Engage and Engage+ set the benchmark for the ARIYA lineup, rolling off the production line with leatherette-appointed seats and a head-up display. The Engage offers an estimated driving range of 216 miles, while the Engage+ pushes that range to 272 miles. From there, the front-wheel drive Venture+ offers the longest range of any ARIYA trim at 304 miles. The Evolve+ adds a panoramic moonroof and Nissan’s Intelligent Around View Monitor, which Nissan pairs with an Intelligent Rear View Mirror on the all-wheel drive version and the Empower+ top-tier FWD trim.
The all-wheel drive ARIYA Platinum+ is undoubtedly the best equipped, most luxurious, and most innovative. The Platinum+ cabin boasts plush seating and pristine details that complement advanced technologies like the 10-speaker Bose Premium Audio System, which delivers an immersive, concert-like listening experience throughout the cabin. Behind the scenes, technologies like ProPILOT Assist 2.0 work to transform your driving experience, offering hands-free cruising that mitigates driver fatigue without risking your safety.
As a compact SUV, the 2024 ARIYA promises plenty of excitement in the driver’s seat because its small footprint heightens its agility. Nissan fuels this excitement by offering the ARIYA with a choice of electric powertrains that cater to various driving needs. With four combinations to choose from, the ARIYA is an all-electric powerhouse that can confidently upgrade your commute and go the distance.
The 2024 ARIYA’s base powertrain includes a 63 kWh battery and a single electric motor that delivers 214 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of instant torque. The pairing, available only with front-wheel drive, offers a modest driving range of 216 miles. To get more from the ARIYA’s driving range, you can upgrade to the available 87 kWh battery and single motor configuration. This combination delivers 238 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque for a front-wheel drive range of 304 miles.
The ARIYA’s 304-mile range and larger battery pack are ideal for drivers who need and appreciate the confidence that a higher driving range offers. However, Nissan also offers all-season confidence with its e-4ORCE electric all-wheel drive system. The dual-motor setup transforms the ARIYA into a capable road warrior that can competently navigate every condition, from downpours and rain-slick roads to snow, mud, and sand. Moreover, this all-terrain confidence doesn’t force drivers to compromise on efficiency.
When outfitted with the standard 63 kWh battery and available e-4ORCE dual-motor all-wheel drive system, the 2024 ARIYA produces 335 hp and 413 lb-ft of instant torque, a significant increase in output over the front-wheel drive models. This combination yields a driving range of 205 miles, which is only slightly less than the ARIYA’s base powertrain. Alternatively, you can enjoy a higher output and a better driving range by opting for the larger 87 kWh battery and the dual motor e-4ORCE system. This pairing produces 389 hp, 442 lb-ft of instant torque, and a 272-mile driving range.
The 2024 ARIYA is easily one of the best-equipped and most innovative SUVs in the industry. Nissan goes above and beyond to outfit the ARIYA with the latest connectivity, safety, and driver-assist tools to deliver a transformative, safe, and engaging experience in the driver’s seat. These tools start with expansive digital displays and extend to active and passive safety technologies that improve your situational awareness and mitigate the potential for collisions.
The ARIYA’s cabin is framed by expansive digital displays, starting with a 12.3-inch instrument cluster that seamlessly works with the 12.3-inch center touchscreen display. Designed in a wave-like layout, the screens offer optimal visibility and accessibility, giving you access to your smartphone via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigational tools, and many other in-vehicle apps. The center display is also home to Nissan’s rearview camera, with top-tier trims featuring an Intelligent Around View Monitor that offers a 360-degree view around the all-electric SUV.
Behind the scenes, the ARIYA is constantly monitoring its surroundings to improve your safety and experience behind the wheel. Nissan Safety Shield 360 is a staple across the ARIYA lineup and one of the industry's most extensive driver-assist suites. It outfits the SUV with Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Automatic Braking, Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, High Beam Assist, and Intelligent Lane Intervention. These technologies serve as a virtual spotter around the ARIYA and complement several other advanced features that are standard on top-tier trims.
Those advanced technologies include an Intelligent Rear View Mirror that does double duty as a standard rearview mirror and an LCD screen. When active, the Intelligent Rear View Mirror provides a live stream behind your vehicle to extend your visibility and awareness. Beyond this, ARIYA drivers will also enjoy cutting-edge technologies like ProPILOT Assist 2.0 and ProPILOT Park. ProPILOT Assist 2.0 is Nissan’s hands-free driving technology that works to transform your experience, whether cruising at highway speeds or navigating rush-hour traffic. ProPILOT Park relies on similar technology but takes over parking the ARIYA by controlling the steering wheel, accelerator, and brakes to expertly park the SUV.
