The path to production<\/a> for the 2023 Nissan Ariya<\/a> has felt like a long one, but it’s well and truly over, as signaled by the fact there’s official pricing, and you can now reserve one. Nissan<\/a> is taking a page from the Hummer<\/a> EV playbook in only offering a select few combinations to begin with<\/a>, with additional variations going on sale later.<\/p>\n

For now, the entry-level model is the front-wheel-drive Venture+. It starts at $47,950, and although it’s the base model, it has the longest range at 300 miles. That comes from the liquid-cooled 87-kWh (usable) battery<\/a> pack. It has a single electric motor sending 238 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels. It comes standard with a CCS port for DC fast charging up to 130 kW, as well. Standard features include LED lighting, 19-inch wheels, manual-adjustable cloth seats, ambient lighting, a 12.3-inch instrument screen, dual-zone automatic climate control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigation, ProPilot Assist adaptive cruise control and lane-centering and blind-spot monitoring.<\/p>\n

Moving up to Evolve+ gets you the exact same powertrain, but range dips to 285 miles. The price also increases to $50,125. In exchange for the extra cash, you get a panoramic sunroof, power hatch, fog lights, power front seats, automatic wipers, wireless phone charging and a rearview mirror screen.<\/p>\n

Premiere starts at $54,625 and has the same range and power specs as the Evolve+. It includes the hands-free ProPilot Assist 2.0<\/a> driving system, similar to GM’s<\/a> Super Cruise and Ford’s<\/a> BlueCruise. It also comes with unique wheel colors<\/a> and illuminated side sills.<\/p>\n

Topping the range is the Platinum+ e-4ORCE with a base price of $60,125. This gets the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrain making 389 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. Range drops to 265 miles for this potent package. It’s more lavishly appointed with power-adjustable Nappa leather seats with memory and cooling, power-adjustable mirrors and steering wheel with memory, active noise canceling, a motion-activated power hatch and a Bose 10-speaker sound system.<\/p>\n

There will be additional models offered in the near future, some of which will be available with a smaller 63-kWh (usable) battery and 214-horsepower motor. Those will likely carry lower prices. It should be possible to add the high-output all-wheel-drive powertrain to lower trims later, too.<\/p>\n

If any of these initial offerings interest you, Nissan is able to take your reservations. The Premiere in particular is only available via reservation. Reservations require a refundable $500 deposit. The first 10,000 people to reserve an Ariya will also get a two-year membership to EVgo with a $500 charging credit. For the time being, Nissans still qualify for the full $7,500 federal EV tax credit, too.<\/p>\n

The first Ariyas to be delivered will be the front-wheel-drive versions starting next fall. All-wheel-drive models will follow later that fall.<\/p>\n
