2025 Nissan Ariya lineup drops longest-range model

2025 Nissan Ariya lineup drops longest-range model

  • The 2025 Nissan Ariya costs $40,980
  • The longest-range model will go up to 289 miles on a charge
  • The Ariya now has Tesla Supercharger access

The Nissan Ariya lineup is condensed for 2025, with the longest-range variant lost in the shuffle.

The number of trim levels shrinks from eight to six. Prices hold steady after substantial cuts for the 2024 model year, with the base Engage model costing $40,980 after the mandatory $1,390 destination charge. That buys a single-motor front-wheel-drive powertrain and 66-kwh (gross, 63 kwh usable) battery pack.  A dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain, dubbed e-4ORCE, is a $4,000 option on this grade, with the same size pack.

Nissan continues to offer a 91-kwh (87 kwh usable) pack, which delivers 289 miles of range in the front-wheel-drive Evolve+ grade. That model, which is priced at $45,760 with destination, now offers the most range of any Ariya grade, as the 304-mile Venture+ model has disappeared from the lineup. So has the Empower+ front-wheel-drive grade.

All-wheel-drive models with the larger pack round out the lineup. The least expensive way to get this combination is the Engage+ e-4ORCE, which costs $46,760 after destination. Evolve+ e-4ORCE ($49,760) and Platinum+ e-4ORCE ($55,760) grades are positioned above it.

Wireless device charging is now standard on all grades, and Nissan has begun rolling out Tesla Supercharger access. For now, Ariya owners need a $235 adapter for this, but Nissan plans to begin fitting new EVs sold in the U.S. with Tesla-style North American Charging Standard (NACS) ports starting in 2025.

The Ariya was a Green Car Reports Best Car To Buy 2024 finalist, and will reportedly be joined by a smaller electric crossover replacing the long-serving Nissan Leaf, but it’s unclear if apparent merger talks with Honda will affect that plan.
