I saw both vehicles at the LA Auto Show. Hands down the Ariya is much nicer looking vehicle. I love it so much that I placed a $500 deposit for the Ariya. My build is $49,000 without the Pro Pilot 2.0
@@ameenh4529 If you factor in the cost to operate over years compared to an gas-engined ICE car and maintenance, you'll actually spend less (provided it doesn't have a lot of niggling faults). There are far less moving parts to need maintaining and break down. It'll cost less to run and operate as well.
Wise move. I had the 2018 Leaf and loved it. Ariya is a great upgrade. But you should have gone for ProPilot. Even on our Leaf it was great and made drive way way less tiring and much safer. It will probably make selling the Ariya easier too. I'm probably going to get one. Only downside is the charging is way slower than the EV6 and IONIQ 5.
nissan is better as they have more experience - i booked one already after i saw it -- and interior is much more refreshed with more power and more range its even worth with the price gap
This is the best comparison clip I've ever seen, I was hesitating between Solterra and Ariya, mostly because I don't know much about them. Now it's clear to me that Ariya is way much better in terms of interior design, however the price and size is the downside. If Subaru let Toyota use Eyesight on BZ4X, than there lied almost do difference between Solterra and BZ4X. Sad there is no "real" electrical wagon announced yet (yes, I know MG5, but this car just don't like to be designed from scratch a modern electric vehicle, yes, I know space vizzion but there is no solid plan for market launch). I prefer station wagon over SUV.
I would like to drive a sedan, to be honest. As for these two, the Ariya looks more appealing. I do, however, understand Toyota's approach. Build a RAV4ish looking EV and add some Subaru technology for the AWD. Makes perfect business sense. I think I like the Ioniq 5 and EV6 better than both, however. Well, maybe with the Ariya. I like that Nissan didn't make it based off of anything else they make.
My top choices prior to going to the LA Auto Show were to see the Genesis GV6, ID4, and Audi Q4 ETron. They were a no show. I did see the Hyundai EV6. The EV6 feels very cramp inside. Since EV6 is basically the same as GV6, I immediately crossed off GV6 as my top pick. After seeing the Ariya at the show, I knew this will be my #1 pick even though I did not see the Audi Q4 and ID4 at the show. Loved it so much that I placed a preorder for the Ariya. Why Airya? Well, with Nissan’s 11 years of electrification and battery experience, it was the safest choice. $49K was within my budget (minus $9000 tax incentives).
Mode Y interior feels like cheap plastic. Once you sit inside the Ariya like I have, it’s night and day difference. The doors shut with a thump sound. Like all Tesla vehicles, the thin doors have a terrible clank sound when shutting. Embarrassing.
I fluctuate back and forth between the Ariya, Kia Niro EV and Rivian R1T, i will Wage Wehen the Last Modell is on the market from this three Favorites.
Ariya vs Ioniq 5: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2Y-fCBpMU68.html & bZ4x vs Ioniq 5: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bJbH5-CjTo4.html Thank you for watching!
The larger of the Ariya batteries are closer to Toyota so we’ll use that!? Ariya small = 72-63 = 9 kWh Ariya large = 87-72 = 15 kWh I must have missed the larger or smaller day at school 🙄 Anyway, Toyota looks better, is better engineered, looks better quality. IMHO 😁
I want to buy another EV this year, but I would buy neither. Tesla (all of them), Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 are all more advanced and better values. I know Toyota management doesn't like BEVs, but I can't understand why Nissan has allowed themselves to fall behind.
