Road Test

Nissan was an electric vehicle pioneer when it introduced the Leaf in 2011, the first mass-produced EV sold in North America. As such, we had high expectations for its long-awaited sophomore effort, the Ariya. It’s a highly-desirable small-SUV size, with an elevated driving position and a large cargo area. We found it quick, quiet, and roomy, and it has a decent driving range.
