I am a fan of Brian's unfiltered criticism of things he doesn't like
👍
Nice to see Brian popping up again. As a man with a long torso and short legs myself, I'm always here for his reviews. 👍
👍👍
I am of his shape to that his review is more realistic to myself than that from the man with long legs and short torso :)).
Brian, a calm island of sanity in the otherwise shrill, infantile ocean of online car reviews.
Highly appreciated!
Thanks for reviewing this car. Nissan Ariya has been tested from North Pole to South Pole. I think the battery range does not get downgraded much in cold weather.
👍
One thing to note is that the US models have far more adjustment in the seat and steering wheel. My 6'5 co-worker comfortably fits in the drivers seat which is an odd choice to have them be so different.
Thanks for a great review Brian.
Appreciated 🙏
Brian, being 6 feet tall, I understand your frustration of having the roof too close to the head. You could help this (and improve the comfort of your lower back) if you recline the backrest position to about 25 deg from vertical. Just look at the shape of the most comfortable ergonomic seating ever (IMHO) designed; the Frankfurt airport chairs profile (images are available on the web). Why do you need to be so upright "facing forward"? If a cat or a wild animal jumps in front of the hood it's too late for it anyway! Seeing it clearly won't save it. One should focus attention just a little further in front of the car for save, enjoyable and pain free driving!
Love the show btw!
I'm not a fan of this Nissan but I certainly liked this review...!!...Really appreciated the no nonsense, thoughtful, clear delivery !!...Thank you Brian that was great...!!.👍👍👍👍
King content.
welcome back bryan...... nice to see you again!
🤗
It's been so long. Hey Brian :)
This is really good ev from Nissan
I’m 185 cm Ariya owner and no headroom issues. But would like the steering wheel to go lower.
Thank you for that honest review.Very professional and with attention to details. I am big time Thomas fan, but I fully enjoyed the review from beginning till end .
Thank you Brian great job.
Highly appreciated!!
How many of these did Nissan sell in 2022? What is their capacity and goal for 2023?
I used too watch ur stuff when i was 14 now im 19, thank you for ur hard work, i hope life is alright for you and it all worked out in the end :)
So great to have you here!!
Nice car 🚗
Have you reviewed the Qashqai E-power yet?

Brian. 👋 Nice scenery and great review. 💓
👍👍👍
Where is the scenery
Thanks for your video. I have already ordered a Nissan Ariya e-4force and your information has put me at ease. I want to ask you a favor. I am from the metric system. Could you give me the measurements of the trunk in centimeters? Thank you!
Enjoy! Check it out here: czcams.com/video/fOgrj_cHkpE/video.html
Thanks, but I want the measurements of the e-4force.
Can you use voice control to switch drive modes? So you don’t have to look down?
That’s forbidden in every vehicle for a good reason. Driving functions shall not be controlled by kids from the rear 😂
Test driven both battery sizes cars... I found the smaller battery ariya drives better.. May be because less heavy. I found the big battery drive a bit more boring due to the weight of the car.
I would like to hear more opinions about it, as not sure completely, driven on different days.
Interesting. I test drove a small battery Ariya (US Evolve trim) and even the sport mode wasn't terribly exciting. It's attractive though. Love the back end compared to other crossovers and didn't feel too small inside. It wasn't bad overall but it's also over 67K in my area with ridiculous markup over MSRP. The interior has nothing on Mazda's. I agree with him about the seats. That was my #1 complaint. Heated seat BUTTON please, NOT in the infotainment. The Evolve didn't have a power lift gate but had heated seats and steering wheel. Bizarre choice. I was disappointed in the Japanese Lantern. The plastic looked cheap and not having a choice of light color is a missed opportunity.
You just can't drive
Nice video, nice car but small.
Thanks 🙏
Did they address the battery heat management problems of the Leaf battery? How is cabin heating implemented ? Heat pump or a space heater?
Heat pump and resistive heater combo. Heat pump for higher low temps and resistive heater to get things warm quickly when the pump becomes ineffective. Liquid managed battery that hold very low temps during fast charging.
It’s only a matter of time before “I’m effectively 6-2 from a torso standpoint” ends up on bumble profiles everywhere
🤣🤣🤣
Was anyone aware Brian has a long torso?😂
😂
I still have range anxiety when it comes to these cars. If I drive on the Autobahn I usually drive a max of 160km/h where allowed, I see the range of an electric car being massively reduced at those speeds constantly.
Yes, cut in half. Its our German problem 😂 BMW iX e.g. does over 200 km at 200 kmh, I tested
But you will be able to charge fast because the battery will be warm. However I think you can only fast charger 2× in 24h
@@dragospahontu the thing is where? From Zürich to Stuttgart for example I don't see a single charging station on the way, but there a several fuelling stations.
@@MichaelMerten well that's just the infrastructure. It will take time, but the car can do it.
👍👍👍
A very interesting review.
I nearly bought one of these at a slightly higher spec than reviewed here. I cancelled the order early in January because I had ordered in July 2022 and delivery was moved back from March 2023 to - only possibly - June 2023. I also got cold feet about pure EV when I saw the collapse of the UK public charging network under high demand over Christmas 2022. Pure EV, even with my own at home renewable lec fill up, does not seem quite ready for prime time in the UK. I have instead bought a Mazda CX60 PHEV.
The Ariya does continue the emerging trend that Japanese and other Asian cars are providing sufficient luxury and handling to question why you would spend the money on an Audi/BMW/Mercedes equivalent at a €20-30k premium. They also show a much better use of EV interior space and design than the big three German leaders. Brian bemoans the rubbish capacitive bits of UI in the Ariya, as do I, but there is a lot less of it than in the German alternatives. Unlike the German alternatives you do not feel as if you are in a car designed for the petrol past but just about adapted for the lec future; you feel as if they have rethought it all, and Nissan have form here over the last decade. When I looked at an Audi EV which might have replaced my gorgeous petrol RS3 I got the impression that they were struggling with transition from fossil fuel to lec, a bit like the move from horse and carriage to horseless carriage. The E Tron I looked at had the wow that it was horseless, but it was still a carriage.
No need to go on about the Mazda, but it has even less - in fact none - of the capacitive nonsense, has even more luxury and is a bit faster. Pace Thomas and possibly Brian, it also handles better than the Ariya.
Rather than rehash a debate which has occurred elsewhere here on Autogefuhl, it might be worth considering, as I am at the moment, what second (third or otherwise extra) car you might have to satisfy others in the family if you are lucky enough to be in that position. At the moment my picks are either a Mini EV or a Mazda MX 30. I love what BMW have done with Mini overall and Mini EVs in particular. The minis handle like a dream, have a distinctive and usable UI/UX with the especially wonderful round Mini touch screen, and have not fallen for the huge battery/range anxiety nonsense that everyone else has. The Mazda also does “less is more” with a really clever bit of packaging which makes the MX30 more practical and an easier family sell than the Mini. It is also a sufficiently entertaining alternative to drive as the Mini, but not equal. Just a little more power in the Mazda would push it ahead of the Mini in this context considering greater practicality, and maybe the Mazda MX30 R EV has done that. Thomas, Brian, and Team please do not leave us in suspense for too long waiting for a Mini EV versus an MX30 EV/R EV comparison.
As ever a great Ariya review.
Really enjoyed reading your report, thanks 🙏
The German EVs are not very good proposals.
This thing isn’t designed to outperform anyone.
It’s a daily driver appliance designed to waste no gas in traffic and possibly save the owner money in the long run.
The camera man's name is Thomas?
We also have a cameraman Thomas in our team yes hehe
Vehicles should just put Android Automotive. Saves of the problem of lagging software and the worry of updating said software.
Totally.
I appreciate the efficiency numbers but I think it is wrong to simply calculate the range based on this and the battery capacity. We know all car makers have a buffer of battery capacity that drivers can not access, and this lowers the total range. I would better appreciate genuinely testing the range by running from 100% to empty or as near as empty as the car lets you.
That’s why we take the net figures and not the gross figures if available. Sometimes it is hard to say which is the real net figure because some manufacturers hide it, some dont. However you always get a result that is still representing the real-world range, its not that you would score a completely different result, just some couple percent +/-
@@autogefuehl The fact that the net figures are hidden is precisely the issue. CZcams reviewers in the US for example have found Tesla EVs to consistently return about 85% of their advertised range, in ideal conditions. This is not just some couple of percent. Consumers want to know this real info.
problem is that on driving events, you can never empty a vehicle. We do have more experience when we test the cars for 2 weeks constantly and also do an own recharging test
@@autogefuehl That makes sense. Thanks.
Hey wait a minute. What's wrong with bulbous rears?
Are you referring to cars? 😂
@@autogefuehl no lmbo🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭
😂
1:14 wtf. No this is most definitely a cost saving measure and most evs with frunks have them and a big trunk.
It’s funny how people complain about cars not having now both trucks and frunks! When we’ve had only one for 70 -or more- years, and it was never an issue.
@@jz7551 especially in Europe you need to carry a cable with you for slow chargers and a frunk is perfect for that so your bags and stuff don’t lay on top of it. Also it just makes sense the space is there.
The charging Port Is in the wrong position for small garages
A mini frunk at Least for the cable is necessart
Agree
I drove one of these in my time of testing out which car would be the new electric family car. The Ariya was the most boring of anything that my wife and I drove. It is perfectly competent and does everything that you ask of it.
However, we found too many faults and things that we didn’t like.
The interior is filled with cheap plastic. The Kumoto (I’ve forgotten the name) design details look pretty cheap, with much of it executed in plastic.
There is a weird oscillating when we drove our test model. Our heads were constantly bouncing and it wasn’t due to the pavement as we tried it on all kinds of surfaces. The vehicle was also delivered with electrical faults and we had to delay our test drive by 4 days.
The bronze trim (and everything else) looks cheaper and worse in real life. All of it looks good in the photos and videos but not in the real world.
This was the only car, once we drove it, we never spoke of again. Again, competent but uninspiring.
We drove EV6s, Mustang Mach E, Jaguar i-Pace and ended up with with Certified Pre Owned Tesla Model X. We didn’t even have Tesla on our radar but got a great deal, with warranty, for about 10k more than the fully equipped Ariya. It was a better choice for us.
Thanks for the report!
The review is fantastic. Please keep doing these real world consumption test, it's much more helpful than WLTP. If possible, you can also do a sheet for future buyers that contains all the range test data, like temperature, speed, etc. However, I hate EVs thanks to hypocritical and totalitarian EU politicians and climat communists that travel with private jet and go vacation with yacht. If they didn't try to take away our rights, I may consider EVs, but now never, it's a statement.
Highly appreciated!
new Fairlady Z yep, this one nope....
A lack of a frunk is due to packaging laziness and lack of vertical integration, as there are lots of parts that can't be optimised into a small space. Tesla, Polestar, Rivian, Ford and many others can do it, why can't Nissan? Now dirty charging cables have to take up space in the boot underneath everything you're transporting. I built my own frunk out of MDF for my Nissan Leaf 2011 model and it made a big difference for extension leads and charging cables. I wouldn't buy an new EV without a frunk.
"Ford and Rivian"..... Can do it in trucks.
The Mach-E was (is?) a Dog's breakfast of part bin components under the skin (Not sure how much it was redesigned after the Munroe & Associates "critque")
just miss Brian!
🤗
Your seating position instantly showed the shortcomings. What are you doing with your kids if they will play with a moving console? Strange.
Why is he sitting so upright? I never sit like this, it looks painfull.. This is like girls which just got their license sit..
Cannot say I enjoyed this review. It is overly critical and impossible to get any wiser from. It should be about the car in honest details and not about the reviewers desire to be outspoken, unfair and ignorant.
I m sorry for that. Maybe you can try me personal review on the Ariya? czcams.com/video/fOgrj_cHkpE/video.html
Last year these traction motors were the thing. Once the Russian plant ( Renault) went bye-bye and Nissan now sits at the end of the table-the alliance will follow Nissan's cost-cutting ways. I wanted the Renault because of the interior layout but in the states, this is it-------forget it.
You cant believe it this vehicle is now promoted in China with a 10,000$ discount.😅😅😅.
Wow
This is a car for small people... I haven't seen a tall person that can fit into this vehicle.
I’m 189 cm and have no problems at all to fit in my Ariya. In fact I sit better in this than in my previous Volvo V90.
Peugeot's twin brother
You tripping
@@jz7551 Nope
You lost me basically from the start.
If you make a long bonnet with no other utility, then no frunk i a major fail.
I do not know your background, but the motor compartment looks pretty much like an e-golf. Something that have been made by an ICE motor company. Absolutely no integration of parts and everything bought and just packed in as always.
And it got a drag coefficient of 0.3 + - Basically the worst in class.
And no.. they haven't learned.. they have dropped one pedal driving.
But i looks good.
They need to be ready to go back to ICE or even Hydrogen when this EV fad runs it course..... ;) /s
@@TheLastMoccasin keep dreaming.
@@hgh425 Sorry if my sarcasm wasn't clear enough lol.
Crying cause of no frunk. How ridiculous. I wonder how people managed to live with a car that only offered either a trunk or a frunk. For more than 80 years !!
@@jz7551 "No frunk" is an easy way to point out to non car experts that the legacy ICE assembly companies cannot provide the same level of features, functionality, convince, safety, technology, etc. in the EV space as the new companies that are engineering bespoke EVs. They "hedged their bets" and as a result, the product is inferior for the customer.
My EV6 is much better equipped and drives wonderfully well. The seats are very comfortable and adjust electrically. Also it has no need for a "bulbous" front or rear, and it has a frunk, albeit a small one. The boot on my EV6 is also bigger than the Ariya's.
You took the word " diarrhea", and called it a car? What's next? The Nissan "tion", as in abortion?
Nice try being funny
"No frunk" means "lazy design".
Nothing more.
No it means short bonnet and more passenger space. The Ariya is 15 cm shorter than the Model Y but has way more legroom.
@@thorsev6960 15cm shorter and like 1,000,000 sales units shorter than the Model Y in 2023...... sales matter!!
Cars have offered either a frunk or a trunk only… for more than 70 years… and now all of a sudden it’s a problem. You people are ridiculous
@@jz7551 Once you try it with take-out that doesn't stink up the car, on numerous other use cases, you will like it. Honestly, the space up there is empty anyway if you just do a little engineering....
How can anybody prefer alcantara vs nappa leather? He just moans all the way through. I turned it off without finishing.
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. I also bought cars with animal skin leather seats before I did my research and got to know the industry. The most important thing is: With today's modern materials, you have nothing to lose, just to gain. You achieve the same kind of luxury and comfort or even better while having the same or better durability with less impact on humans, animals and the environment.
You can use fabric/cloth, microfibre or leatherette. The classic approach is using oil/plastic as source material. Overall, a vehicle contains about 300 kg plastic. A car seat needs about 5 kg plastic. So the overall plastic share for the seats is very low and it is at this moment the most efficient way to produce a car seat. A couple of litres of fuel equals a car seat basically. So if you want to save oil/plastic, rather look at consumption for energy, fuel and heating and to other car parts than the seat. Note that animal skin leather also always contains a plastic coating for durability. However, long-term we should of course find raw oil alternatives. So going further, seats can be made from recyclables (e.g. from PET-bottles or old fishing nets) or even increased share of plant-based materials (like pine oil, canola oil or start-up materials like Pinatex from pineapple leaves or Desertex from cactus fibre or the mixed-plant-based Mirum, so be seen at czcams.com/video/S1aNZeoatmE/video.html). On a calculation base, by ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) % (www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en) - and that is a very conservative calculation. So it is at this moment the most important thing you can do to make car interiors more sustainable.
A good example for high-end luxury with ventilated animal free seats is the BMW X7 with Sensafin: czcams.com/video/1pRNkW9nrrw/video.html
And the Kia EV9 with plant-based oil share: czcams.com/video/6vXePQi_MAk/video.html
New leatherette materials can be superior in every aspect, even for cleaning: czcams.com/video/u94YXJ72UTA/video.html
More and more natural materials are rising: czcams.com/video/nRSsXEnwHDo/video.html
Also check out what the animal skin leather industry tried to with our channel: czcams.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/video.html
For seeing how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: czcams.com/video/tkjCAmq1_8E/video.html
Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally.
In a high animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat is the "first" misuse case, the hide remains a profitable body part. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you demand it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and harms the environment, you make them more profitable. Alternatively, you could support industries with your wallet which try to improve the sustainability of materials. Also, if you turn the argument around to "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize that it doesn't make sense (and is ethically doubtful) to discuss the primary use of individual body parts of mammals. Mind experiment: You are getting slain down on the street; would it matter to you if it was for your smartphone or for your purse?
We cannot change what we have bought in the past, but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
@@autogefuehl Wow. I prefer leather and I like eating meat.
U can get the same experience in eating and seating without animal harm. Just find the alternatives you like
