Awesome Nissan Ariya

Our friend Tim Esterdahl from Pickup Truck +SUV Talk took a 180-mile road trip in the all-electric 2024 Nissan Ariya. He had a lot of ground to cover in the Ariya, facing the battery-busting trifecta of cold weather, high speeds, and elevation gains. You can see the stress on his face as he shares his experiences. But was his range anxiety justified?

The Nissan Ariya NISMO is faster than the already zippy Ariya e-4ORCE models. Its electric 4WD system makes up to 429 hp and 442 lb-ft. of torque with its 91 kWh battery pack. It’s tricked out with aerodynamic upgrades, a sport-tuned chassis, 20-inch aluminum wheels, and a microsuede interior. Coming to Japan in Spring 2024, but no U.S. release date yet.
