2023 Nissan Ariya review! The 2023 Nissan Ariya is a fully electric crossover -- and it's surprisingly quirky. Today I'm reviewing the Ariya, and I'm going to show you the quirks and features of this new crossover. I'm also going to drive the Ariya and review the driving experience of the 2023 Nissan Ariya!

I think the brake light option on the left panel is to help people to see and learn (especially during one pedal driving) the point at which the car indicates it is braking
Exactly it was so obvious at least to me. Surprisingly he missed it, he even mentioned one pedal driving in the video but didn't connect the 2 together. Then again he does lots of these videos so it's probably a boring routine to him at times, particularly with cars like these so I guess it's not a surprise.
I wish my Ioniq 5 had this option.
Yeah especially for one of the first EVs for a specific manufacturer (besides the Leaf), the manufacturers are basically education first-time users.
@@RegiVelJohnson can't you wire it yourself?
I’m with you on that. I had a bolt with one pedal driving and I was always concerned about my brake lights
It's kind of interesting to see an EV that's just... fine. The fact that some EVs are starting to become normal shows how quickly they're starting to be adopted.
The Nissan Leaf has been the boring EV for like a decade now
@@MCTogs Fair, but the Leaf (at least older models) screams EV at you, much in the same way the Prius was radically different than other Toyotas or the i series was different from other BMWs when they came out decades ago. The Ariya, by comparison, seems like a much more typical compact crossover that just so happens to be an EV.
Not being adopted well here in the southeast.
They aren't being widely adopted, lol

I love how Nissan added zero piano gloss black plastic and made the car's climate zone really funky and cool. They did a good job integrating the buttons onto the dashboard and I commend them for not using piano plastic which gets smudged and dirty the first week of ownership
Sadly they seem to have gone with capacitive buttons. Not sure if you remember those from the early smartphones, but they *really* suck.
@@PhysicsGamer Capacitive touch is not that bad nowadays. In this application, it is a bit nicer because it is not buried in some menu screen in the infotainment system. Rather, it is pleasantly put on the dash right in front of you and it is piano black plastic free. That material is the worst thing about modern cars. Manufacturers put it in there to wow people with first impressions but after a week of owning it the material gets all scratched and dusted up. That is why I think it is great that Nissan found a way to make capacitive touch controls this way rather than the standard, and ugly, way that other manufacturers have been doing over the past few years
@@colechapman6976 There's... also the option of buttons that are made of any other kind of plastic. The sort that have been in cars for many decades.
Yeah I like the look of it, it's nice and clean
Capacitive buttons are kind of a mixed blessing. They look elegant and don't collect dirt, but you can't feel for them while driving, you have to look. That's annoying if you want to adjust the climate controls, for example. (I agree you about the piano black plastic, though.)
I would guess the left screen "Brake Lights" function is to help when people are one-pedal driving. EVs like the Teslas turn on the brake lights when a certain level of deceleration is occurring, even when the brakes are not applied, and a lot of people do not know this. The lights light up in the GUI in Teslas to show this, so seems like a logical conclusion in the Ariya.
It’s so wild a Nissan crossover has more tech and features than a 5 year old BMW. The technology has been advancing so much in the last 3-4 years.
Especially when you consider that the Ariya was revealed 3 years ago
Same; my dad owns a 2015 Mercedes and my mom a 2023 Honda CRV, and the base model CRV has infinitely more tech and more features. I remember when the idea of that car parallel parking for him blew my mind, but now it’s near standard on most cars…
@@Wadosan I’ve noticed that too. My mom has a 2016 RX with good upgrade packages but nowadays even non-luxury premium brands make cars with more technology and comfort than a fully loaded luxury car from 2016. This is reflected in prices though as new cars today costed on average 48k. The average price in 2016 was 35k
Definitely not a good thing that’s for sure.
@@jerryrocketandthegogogirls3517 Why not, it help people and make life easier
The flower petals are from a cherry blossom tree, I'm guessing are a reference to the Ariya's "little brother" so to speak, the Nissan Sakura. It's a kei-car like the Honda Beat or Suzuki Cappuccino that's sold only in Japan, and it's fully electric.
Could the petals somehow be a reference to the Nissan Leaf?
maybe its just a cherry blossom
The charge port door just being push and open is great. As for the grill, most cars have fake grills with much smaller openings than it appears with ICE and electric do need cooling and have small grill openings as well.
As someone who’s 6’5” I really appreciate the removal of a transmission tunnel. Hopefully they’ll bring back the front bench seat!
Good point. I see no reason to not have a front bench anymore
@@M67v i think it makes sense to not cram 3 in the front. You want the driver to have all the space they could need
@@AvalineSky if the car is wide enough then I don’t see why not.
@@M67v what about cupholders and the center console/arm rest? Just ditch/move those?
Bench seats? Lol 😂 so glad the boomers know how to use technology like youtube 😂
The auto heated seat and steering wheel are really under rated on Nissan products, I used to have a Q50 and it was the greatest thing, it would turn on until the car got warmed up and then gradually turn down as you warmed up. I don’t have much positive to say about Nissan in the recent years, but they did that right!
Thanks for your👆 love and support ♥️💖❤️
👆Text me on nicegram I have something special for you🎁🎁.
My 2015 TLX when you remote started it would automatically turn in the heated seats, wheel, rear defrost etc. Trouble is it was designed in California where they don't know how cold it can get elsewhere. So when you opened the door and got in all this stuff was shut down and it was still freezing. So you had to laboriously switch it all back on manually. With multiple touchscreen pushes. First world issue but poor design all the same.
The flower in the hidden tray and in the center console is a cherry blossom (sakura in Japanese) and is typically the symbol of spring in Japan and a major activity to go see the blossoms bloom across the country, to the point blossom reports are tracked like the weather.
Im really glad to see Nissan getting back on their feet. Every model they’ve come out with starting 2 or 3 years ago have been bangers.
Haha bangers? Yeah. Maybe if you throw them in a dumpster they'll bang.
The Frontier and Pathfinder for example. Also the Z, but I wanna wait until I see the Nismo.
Can’t wait for the r36
@Brian Lee if it makes you feel any better, the cvt in the Altima is much much much better than the previous years. The 2.0t Altima is fast as shit I can’t even lie. Even with a cvt
@@jz7551 the new Frontier is awesome. I had the opportunity to rent one a few months ago. I’m a Toyota guy, I currently drive a 4Runner, but I was genuinely impressed. I’m happy to see Nissan products improving.
About freaking time. I found it odd that the first company to release an EV would take so long to release their second model. It looks like they made a lot of different and interesting decisions. Looks very promising. I hope they sell well.
Nerdy me: Uhm actually Toyota was the first real car company to release a EV which was the Toyota RAV4 EV in March of 2002 🤓(not including GM EV1)
@@gisangel12 heck, go back to the 1800’s electric cars while you’re at it.
I work for Nissan and we had our second one delivered to the dealership today. I can't begin to explain the amount of customers that were glaring at it
The LeafEV was a miserable failure here in Japan. I'm sure Nissan had to do a very careful development.
@@tomokokishi3066 The first generation , although innovative, didn’t do well here because it was just ugly. The second gen is a good car, but it came out with more competition with unimpressive numbers in all aspects.
I like the lantern tie-in. Nissan/Infiniti did something similar with the G37 when it was introduced. The design for the interior was based on Japanese washi paper, and the center gauge color was purple in a nod to Japanese royalty.

Dude
This comment deserves to be pinned.
Damn I'm not the only one who thought that
lol
This comment won the internet today
I've had my Ariya for about a month and generally very pleased with it. The graphics are a little dated and the heating doesn't seem to want to warm my feet! Seems to pretty efficient probably helped by the fact that it has a heat pump as standard. Apple carplay is wireless but sadly android auto isn't. Only two trim levels available here in Ireland - I went with the higher one which has a Hud.
I have a 2021 Juke and also have the problem that it simply does not warm your feet haha. Or maybe it does, but you'd have to direct it to your feet and crank heating to max with full blow mode which isn't ideal.
I have driven the "Performance" high-power model of the Ariya, as it's already available here in Europe, and honestly by our standards it's an amazing car. Most vehicles on the road are 3-4 cylinder engines with less than 200hp so even the base model feels impressive to us. It's also too expensive for most people, especially considering that our charging infrastructure might be insufficient depending on where you live. I think most people will still go for an Audi Q3/Q4 after seeing the price.
I like it aswell.
But it needs to be 10 - 15% cheaper in Denmark before I'll consider it.
It depends... Northern europe is really starting to sell EVs at a good pace and unless you really, really, need some high mileage cruising car to do 1000 kms every week, people will stop buying these glorified "premium" compact suvs with rattly 150cv diesel engines and go fully electric with a non premium brand. An e-tron audi is way more expensive than the aryia so it wont rival with it either.
@@an-dr6eu I know norther europe is doing very well and there's a ton of government incentives to help. It's not really the same here in Italy, we have one of the lowest salaries in Europe and the average new car is still 25 to 30k, whilst the Ariya starts at 51.400€ for the base model. For that price you could get a top tier Nissan X-Trail, which has one of the best hybrid systems in general and doesn't require recharging, which is still difficult here in Italy. As a dealership, we have sold more X-Trails in a month than Ariyas in a full year.
I can tell you that the French drive literal trashcans compared to Northern Europe.
@@ikeashleyobi1216 the French apparently don’t care much about cars culturally speaking
I've been eyeing this as my next car since its announcement. I love everything about it, and its price here in Canada isn't terrible either.
The Ariya is by far the nicest looking EV crossover for me, externally. Quite a beauty. But internally, I’m most excited about the Fisker Ocean with its center screen that can rotate from portrait to landscape entertainment mode. I love the idea of relaxing in the car while parked somewhere and watching streaming movies, and not worrying about the cost because charging at home would be cheap versus buying petrol in an ice.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 its the worst. First, check your eyes. Second, check your brain
Thanks for covering this. I was curious about it.
Not just ''ANY'' flower ..its a 'cherry blossom' very revered in Japan, also as a homage to the Nissan Cherry.
Thanks for your👆 love and support ♥️💖❤️
👆Text me on nicegram I have something special for you🎁🎁.
Having driven the AWD version I can say it's fairly sporty if you push it, but you still notice that it's not lightweight, so it feels as if it's got some heft to it. I'd say it's the fastest car I've driven so far by a decent margin.
Here befote EDIT V2 gets removed gang
Too late
Ok interesting but ok
Its gone
LOL i got a Nissan Ariya ad before watching this. great review doug!
Great review, Doug. I just picked up the Premiere FWD version after a year long deposit reservation. Great features, and futuristic appearance inside and out, in the $50K-$60K price range.
Tennessee plates on the car as Nissan is headquartered just outside Nashville. Nissan also has the naming rights for the Tennessee Titans stadium and Doug is repping the Titans with his shirt. Nicely done!
It's so meta. The shirt says "Remember the Oilers" as in the Houston Oilers--predecessor to the Tennessee Titans. It has the Titans logo with the Oilers logo inside of it. Ironic that the logo is an oil derrick while he's reviewing an EV.
Kudos to Doug if it's intentional, and kudos to you for spotting it.
I drove that today. The dynamic is way better than the Ioniq 5.
Saw one of these up close yesterday, fresh off the truck... Really interesting proportions and more lifted than other vehicles in that class.
The brake light screen thing is kinda nice, actually. On some cars, when you're in one-pedal drive mode, it activates the brake lights when you lift your foot off the gas. I sometimes wonder if my brake lights come on when I slow down to a light in my EV.
That’s nice the brake lights let you know they’re activated because you’re using one pedal to drive and the brakes actuate without you pressing them.
It took them a decade and a few car versions, for some unimaginable reason, but Nissan finally has a car with active thermal management for the battery. Welcome to the modern age, Nissan.
Yeah that really was the killer for the Leaf. Used first gens are worthless because of that degredation.
Maybe that was because the powertrain was designed by Renault.
"A flower petal with leaves coming off"
That's a flower with petals coming off
With that sentence I lost all hope that Doug secretly had a gay side.... that is only a sentence a straight man could say.
Finally WOW!!!! I've been waiting THIIIIS moment for months :)
This will be my next Nissan SUV and I've already seen a lot of reviews. But I was waiting Doug's review the most. Thank you!!!!
"In fact, this is MY Nissan Ariya"
I turned in my murano and got the pearl evolve + model with cream seats and its a stunner! I got it on the super bowl and I've been enjoying it everyday. Also free charging for the year for me
@@iluvmusic Thank you for feedback. My family and I drive three Murano and want to exchange one of them to this toy. Could you compare internal volume of this car with Murano?
Looks like its smaller a little bit. But internally it should be the same. As it is EV and does not require much space for engine.
@@VasilyPavlik It is a little more narrow and length (no giant nose hood) and a little more narrow in width. It still has all that space the Murano has and I'm not having any issues
@@iluvmusic Thank you very much. We don't still have this car in our show-rooms. They promise to start sales in summer. So, the opinion of Murano owner is worth.
When I was at the Philadelphia Auto Show this was the number one most interested EV besides the Ford Mach E. Everyone was test driving it and it looked super nice driving by. Nissan did a good job with this.
That brake light option which shows u the brake lighting in real time is to make sure all ur brake lights are working. Other cars had that features all the way back to the 60s. My 92 lexus got it as well
We just got these at my dealership a couple weeks ago. After seeing it up close, it looks really nice in a quirky way
Question: Will today’s “Big Altima Energy” eventually be replaced by “Big Ariya Energy” in the future?
Only if you drive with one headlight out and your highbeams on 100% of the time. That's a true Altima right there.
auto loan at 35% APR, rear window smashed out, no bumper
too expensive for altima enjoyers
AT KUNKLEMAN'S CHEVROLET Buick Toyota Tesla Nissan Honda Jeep
@@Gamebit257 RINALDI AND KLEIN
I anxiously await the convertible version
That hidden storage panel is def for the blicky lmao. Nissan knows the US market likes to stay strapped haha.
it’s the new altima is what people say
Right - I wanted him to say if that hidden storage box was lockable somehow because that would be the ultimate stash spot if it is lol.
I'm so excited for this video!
We all hated the Mach E at launch (understandably, bc of the nameplate used), but it literally sparked a new market segment full of pretty interesting vehicles.
the brake light thing is actually good to have. i didnt realize my brake lights weren’t functioning properly until i was pulled over twice in the same week for it. once when i found out and the second time after my fix didnt last
It won't mean your brake lights are actually functioning properly, it will just mean the car is in a re-gen phase.
Even if your bulb is out i think it would still light up in the screen. Theres a button the brake pedal touches every time you press the brake pedal and that sends light to the bulb in the back. They would need a sensor for that which i think no car has a bulb sensor except for in the turn signals.
@@Elmamaguebo16 Not "no car" - My 1983 Toyota Cressida had a brake light/taillight bulb sensor. If either was not working it had a "Rear Lights" indicator in the gauge cluster.
Yes. It's particularly important when using one pedal drive to be aware of whether the brake lights are working. All EVs use software to turn on the brake lights when the car slows down due to regen to an extent that an ICE car would require the brake pedal pushed.
Great and deep review. Now I'm in love with Nissan ❤
I live how simple and clean everything looks
The brake light function on the driver's display is excellent because regen brakes can trigger them, but not 100% of the time, given it depends on the rate to decelerate. I would like to see this on all EVs. People in traffic have thought I was intentionally riding the brake to piss them off.
Doug is the only person I can think of who would call parking in a spot "perpendicular parking"
How else would he distinguish it from parallel parking?
@@avsystem3142 🤷
@@avsystem3142 regular parking? Lol
I remember Doug kinda smirking about the brake lights coming on in the little car representation of a Outback.
I do know the when driving my Forester and I have the automatic cruise activated it’s nice to have a visual representation in front of me indicating when braking is activated. Especially in heavier and stop and go traffic.
My subaru also shows when my brake lights are on. I like it because during adaptive cruise you're curious when the car starts braking.
The auto mode for heated seats and steering wheel is great. Use that all the time on my car and it’s generally pretty spot on for my preferences.
I can see Altima bae's wrecklessly driving these things within a few years lol
finally. the comment i was looking for 🤣🤣
Got my Northern Lights Premiere Ariya yesterday Love It! Lots to learn for me, all good.
Great review
I just subscribed to this dude a few days ago, and I can’t help but notice the consistent Voice Cracks. He’s a good dude though
Seems like the main competition is the car Doug did not mention, the VW ID-4
Terrific job in my favorite Nissan EV Doug.
Just noticed Dougs new channel logo, nice CarrerraGT!
9:19 Subarus show you your brake lights in the gauge cluster screen, and it’s honestly the *best feature ever* and single handedly most missed feature, that I absolutely still miss even after a year of not having a subaru. All cars have the same safety and tech features for the most part, (I’ve had like every mainstream vehicle as company cars for work) they all have blind spot, rear cross traffic, push2start, reverse cam, etc etc. but that little pic of my Subaru showing me when my brake lights are engaged was *so nice* and it made me feel safer when using the “auto brake hold” with my foot off the brake pedal. Cause I knew my brake lights were on for other drivers to see, even though my foot was just chillen off the pedals. It’s def a “don’t knock it till you try it” feature.
9:58 my Subaru ALSO had that “look forward warning” too when it noticed your eyes off the road😂😂 Wow, Subaru must have been ahead of the game 😂
I am glad Doug had also clearly listened to other people's feedback on explaining his score bit more, even if he doesn't explain each individual category.
I wish he’d explain even more. How does it have a higher fun factor than a Model 3? How is it so much more practical but a worse value? It feels like he is just trying to make Nissan happy by inflating it’s score. He also said “58” but clearly a point is missing from the table.
The Doug score amuses me and I think its a clever idea in terms of making his reviews unique. However I think it's essentially useless as a tool for determining if a car is good or not. For example he has a the Soltera ranked at 54 and it's a very mediocre EV. It's a completely half-hearted attempt by Toyota. At 50 he has the Toyota Rav4 Prime which is in the world of PHEV's is knocking it out of the park. I guess it gives you an idea of how much Doug likes each car, so it's useful for that. I kind of love the hubris of it.
@@napoleantnt5 He used to explain it really in depth, like each sub-category by itself, but at least he went back to giving us something.
@@napoleantnt5 Of course you got to take it with a grain of salt, or quite a bit of grains. He's still an entertainer and for true comparisons and reviews go to Edmunds, Alex on Autos, etc. Those are more feature-based and spec-based, what Doug and some others do is mostly entertainment.
I really like the capacitive buttons. It is also durable without warning out their signs over time.
I see you Doug, with your Remember The Oilers tee shirt. Very unique, never seen the Oilers logo crossed with the Titans comet logo, and retaining our tri-stars! Cool shirt choice for a Tennessee (US) headquartered manufacturer vehicle.
Nissan may have something here!
This suv is absolutely awesome! I tried out the BASE model and it is so roomy! The front seat can easily have two buckets and a middle seat, making the Aliya a six passenger crossover.
Also, The seats were heated/cooled and ventilated The base model also has a heads up display. So much for only 43,000
*Only* $40k lol, at that price point heated and ventilated seats should be expected.
it cant have 6, its only registered for 5 people, also the range on the base model is pretty poor, also msrp is 43 grand and dont get the tax credit either.
@@Poopsticle_256 Tesla model 3 has none of that. Plus the Ariya has pro-pilot assist standard and HUD. Tesla only if you pay extra.
@@danielstefanovic2604 Yeah I meant to sat 43k, but I use talk to text and it messed it up. I have hand tremors, so I use TTS.
@@AndisweatherCenter Well that’s Tesla for you, they’ve become the new laughing stock when it comes to automotive cost cutting, seemingly almost as egregious as GM in decades past. Any respectable forty some odd thousand dollar car should have heated and ventilated seats
Great review
Hey Doug, do you know of any electric vehicle that still comes with a spare tire?
Thanks
Oh perfect, capacitive touch buttons on an armrest! What we've all been asking for!
Very nice! Seems that skateboard platforms for EVs enable a large number of configurations.
Handsome design. I'm waiting to see the longer term reviews as post-sales support, software updates, etc. are a big part of owning an EV and can't really be covered in early reviews.
@Doug Demuro: Love it. Looks so clean and solid for and electric vehicle.
I love the irony of Doug’s “Oilers” shirt while doing a review on an EV.
Great job, several genuine features! Kinda rare to see little "late" review from EU point of view, as this car hit the road about half a year earlier in Europe, even more early did journalists testdrive it, some even a year ago, also the names of battery and drive versions are whole different, marketing games. Love the way Arya looks, i'd go for Awd version
At a guess we got this at about the same time as the Tesla Model Y which was very late arriving here. I've seen far more Model Ys on the road though.
I still can’t wrap my head around buying a nissan/ford/hyundai/kia etc for 55-60k. That’s honestly jaw dropping
For real. Automakers have completely forgot us peasants. Even the cheap cars like the Fiesta and Versa they have/had were so expensive. Most people who could afford those could afford something nicer. I guess this is why the US automotive fleet is older than ever.
Inflation
They have been expensive 5 years ago
I can't help but think the "lease everything " ever expanding model for all purchases over the last decade has created a situation where the hope of the manufacturers is no one buys a car.
That center storage tray in the dash reminds me of big American cars from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, which all had something like that for the ash tray and cigarette lighter. Very cool to see that coming back as a storage tray instead.
Who else saw an Ariya ad before this ?
bREE Larsen
I have gotten those ads dozens, if not hundreds of times.
I got into the first one that arrived in North America, it’s so cool
I like the fact that Doug reviewed the "normal" version regardless of the low horsepower.
Capacitive buttons are cool until you realize you can't find them without looking, taking your focus off the road
Doug, we love you Doug
Dude. I've been following you forever...this was just one of many great vehicle break-downs that you have offered. You good?
I love this car for many reasons. biggest reason is because its an EV with great styling and is overall a very efficient car with great room for road trips. to me EV's are much cooler and practical than an ICE vehicle. to put it simply EV's just make sense.
Thanks for your👆 love and support ♥️💖❤️
👆Text me on nicegram I have something special for you🎁🎁.
Very cool and futuristic, apart from those 2004 door handles
I just saw my first Ariya today (in Nashville, TN). I don't know how I missed this video from 9 months ago and how I hadn't seen this car before considering I live about 30 miles from the Nissan factory (in Smyrna, TN) and the USA HQ (in Franklin, TN)
Doug, I love your quirky reviews. Lots of unbiased details. 😉👍. Huh, the paint on this one is reminiscent of wood paneling. 😳
Thanks for your👆 love and support ♥️💖❤️
👆Text me on nicegram I have something special for you🎁🎁.
Bro I saw that at the North Texas Auto Show I think! Also the EV test track was awesome. With the Lighting and Mach-E. Would definitely recommend going.
The capacitive touch buttons are the coolest implementation I've seen, but they are DEFINITELY worse than real buttons
Just say no to them. I am.
Yes they look beautiful. But having a set of them right where you rest your arm or palm could be annoying. And takes your eye off the road to operate.
I remember reservations went up for the Ariya like in 2019 or early 2020 and I thought it would never come out. Oh well hope to see it on the road soon
As a 2 mo. owner of a FWD Premiere, one feature that no one mentioned, is the lower door lips that protect the interior sill from dirt, water splashes. So, when you step in the car, the sill is clean, and dry so your pants, dress hem doesn’t get dirty. Genius!
I drove the Ariya yesterday.
Needs a trim with 300+ miles range and AWD.
Too small for my needs.
Very smooth, quiet ride!
Good Tesla Model Y competitor.
I think one is coming with 389hp and about 300 miles of range no?
@@anthonyharipersaud6862
They should have introduced that at launch
@@PassportBrosBusinessClass my guess is the money behind it or even the chip shortage. Nissan can’t put out every vehicle so they are gonna put out the ones that are more likely to sell (lower priced models). If they were in a more stable spot, I’d bet it be out
Surprised Doug left out the ID.4 in comparison as it seems to be the most similar in size, design, and pricing...
I like how in the ads they say "don't get one because it's clean, get one because it pins you to your seat."
I'm still waiting for that Galant VR4 Doug had in the preview a while back.
I really wish automakers weren’t, umm, pushing these capacitive touch buttons on us. They are horrible for UX while driving. They may look great but you need to be looking at them to use them.
The two problems I have with capacitive buttons: you can't find them easily by touch (without also activating them), and you can't work them while wearing gloves.
Also I'm extremely not a fan of rear-camera "mirrors." Not having parallax depth perception makes it a lot harder to safely judge distances, and having the view angle be decoupled from the mirror's physical angle also makes relative positioning much more difficult to judge. I suppose this is less of an issue because of the backup/wraparound camera and the parking assist, though.
I'd imagine that the brake light display is helpful for folks who want to know what the brake lights are doing when in e-step/regen mode. On my Leaf it isn't always clear what's going on with them.
I've never used a camera mirror but I hadn't even thought of any of those problems. Come to think of it I'm always judging how far behind someone is with depth perception and I'm moving my head around to see around behind me. Cameras and screens for mirrors are over engineered and unessesary.
@@blandgreen4135 I've only used one once and I hated it and felt extremely anxious the whole time.
Cameras also have lags. They might be small, but there's lag. You can tell if you have your hazards on.
Yeah the e-4ORCE we got as a demo at our dealership is FAST BABY. We've already sold through our very small allocation of Ariyas and are waiting for more to land
I would love for Doug to do classics, but I guess that’s Doug’s plan B if there’s nothing to review in a desperate time. Example, 68 69 70 charger, Shelby cobra, ford gt, Cuda, etc!
I was a little bit thrown off by the name and actually surprised it didn't go with pulsar for their electric line. XD
Who knows maybe they'll bring back a little quirky car like that again
That center console moves into next week! Brought to you by Stretch Armstrong Action Figures®. His arms, much like the Aryia center console, stretch into next week!
I think the reason for the Brake Light status screen is because a lot of people with semi-autonomous vehicles wonder if the brake lights are lighting up when the car is automatically slowing. I have a Genesis GV70, and I see a lot of "hey, are my brake lights on when the vehicle is slowly decelerating?" types of questions in the forums.
I see that subtle Carrera GT hiding on your profile pic... You sneaky little thing!
Congrats again, Doug!
Another great feature is the zero gravity seats, 👏👏👏which are really comfortable! The lumbar support inflates with air for more support, and deflates for less support.
Holy moly! Why do people like monstrosities like this?! Hatchbacks are so much better looking and very often have more space inside than the stupid crossovers.
I'm starting to believe that automakers are now putting these Easter eggs in their cars for Doug to find...
is the 360 camera available/standard on all models? or is this a premium feature?
