After the range test of the base version of the Nissan Ariya (66 kWh battery), Bj\u00f8rn Nyland had an opportunity to check out the version with a 91 kWh battery (also front-wheel drive).<\/p>\n

According to the manufacturer, this version has a usable battery capacity of 87 kWh (compared to 63 kWh in the base version), which means about 38% more energy.<\/p>\n

However, Bj\u00f8rn Nyland noted that during the test, the car consumed only 79.9 kWh (at least until near zero\/0% state-of-charge level), which indicates a potentially substantial buffer “below zero.”<\/p>\n

The version with a higher battery capacity is also noticeably heavier (by 180 kg) – at 2,220 kg (including driver). Its WLTP rating is up to around 500 km (311 miles).<\/p>\n

The tests were conducted at a temperature of about 8-10\u00b0C in slightly worse weather conditions than in the case of the entry-level version. Measures of energy consumption at two speed levels allowed us to estimate the range.<\/p>\n

At 90 km\/h (56 mph), the Nissan Ariya achieved an energy consumption of 179 Wh\/km (288 Wh\/mile), which translated into a range of 447 km (278 miles).<\/p>\n

At 120 km\/h (75 mph), the energy consumption increased to 259 Wh\/km (417 Wh\/mile), while the range decreased to 308 km (191 miles).<\/p>\n

Those are relatively good results – the WLTP level probably could be achieved in more favorable weather conditions (at 90 km\/h\/56 mph) – and overall, the Nissan Ariya<\/a> appears to be competitive with some of the other crossover\/SUVs.<\/p>\n
