About the Nissan Ariya lease
It's taken Nissan over ten years to release its next proper EV following the continued success of the Nissan Leaf hatchback. But it is finally here and joins the burgeoning ranks of all-electric SUVs available.
It is also quite a size, being nearer to the X-trail in proportions than the Qashqai.
One of the standard features is the Nissan 'shield' the name the Japanese carmaker has given to the closed grille at the front of the vehicle. There's no mistaking that this is a 100% battery powered vehicle.
Nissan Ariya battery and charging
Nissan offers two battery sizes in the Ariya; 63kWh and 87kWh. Both sizes significantly bigger than the 40kWh battery in the Leaf, and this is reflected in the projected real world ranges, where we are expecting the Ariya to travel between 205 - 275 miles on a full charge.
The engineers at Nissan have also ensured that the Ariya is comparable with other latest models in its ability to accept high power rapid charging, with the vehicle capable of accepting up to 130 kW DC. This means that on an ultra-rapid charger the Ariya can add between 160 - 200 miles of range in 35 minutes.

Nissan Ariya trims
The Nissan Ariya lease comes in three main trim levels to choose from, with the entry-level Advance variant coming with goodies such as 19-inch alloys, 360-degree view monitor and two 12.3-inch screens.
Moving up to the mid-range Evolve, Nissan has added a panoramic sunroof, vented front seats and a Bose sound system. Topping out the line-up is Performance, which is only available in e-4ORCE grade (Nissan's name for AWD), and this adds more power, 20-inch alloys and blue Nappa leather upholstery.
