Few things are better for navigating an urban environment than a small electric vehicle that can zip into even the tightest parking spots but still has plenty of room inside, and none are more outstanding than the 2024 Nissan Ariya. Even the lineup’s lowest trim level has remarkable standard features, so it’s easy to see how the new Ariya made the top ten on Car and Driver’s list of Best Electric Compact SUVs.

Design

Even the 2024 Ariya’s base model offers a sleekly sophisticated interior with wood accents, haptic dashboard buttons, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, and heated seats in both rows. The driver’s seat is power-adjustable eight ways with 4-way power lumbar support and memory settings. Convenient exterior features include heated power-folding side mirrors and remote-activated perimeter approach lighting, which provides illumination around the Ariya as you approach and unlock it with the key fob.

Performance

An AC synchronous motor delivering 214 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque is standard on the 2024 Ariya’s lowest Engage trim. Its battery has a 216-mile driving range. Front-wheel drive is standard throughout the entire lineup, but all models also have all-wheel drive available.

Technology

A 6-speaker audio system with illuminated steering wheel-mounted audio controls, speed-sensitive volume control, and SiriusXM with 360L satellite radio is standard on the 2024 Ariya’s base model. The infotainment system features a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, wireless Android Auto compatibility, Apple CarPlay integration with Siri Eyes Free voice recognition, and a built-in virtual assistant. You also get wireless audio streaming and hands-free calling via Bluetooth, as well as a mobile hotspot.

Custom mobile apps, Nissan Door to Door Connected Navigation with voice activation, and NissanConnect Services powered by SiriusXM with three months of trial access to SiriusXM Traffic and Weather are included, plus 3-year trial access to Select and Premium packages. The 2024 Ariya also has two USB-A and two USB-C ports.

Safety

You can have complete confidence in the 2024 Ariya’s safety. The two-wheel drive models received a perfect 5-star overall safety rating from the Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the same flawless rating was given to the all-wheel drive models in all categories for which they were tested.

Also, Nissan has generously equipped even the line’s lowest trim level with an impressive list of safety and driver’s aid features, such as:
