The Nissan Ariya is the “ultimate manifestation of style and technology,” according to Nissan. It’s difficult to disagree. The Ariya’s V-Motion grille has a 3D pattern with the brand’s new logo that lights up thanks to 20 LEDs, in keeping with its “Timeless Japanese Futurism” design philosophy. This aerodynamic grille also serves as a shield for the Ariya’s ProPilot sensing equipment.The LED running lights integrate into the grille, while a broken horizontal line connects the front and rear fascias on the sides of the vehicle.A raised C-pillar and a one-piece blade with a blacked-out look when not in use add to the rear end’s appeal. Nissan is providing six two-tone paint and four full-body color choices, including the trademark Copper paint shown above, for even more style. With two-tone paint, a black roof is provided. Sporty 19-inch aluminum wheels are standard, with 20-inchers available as an option.When compared to the Tesla Model Y, the exterior style is unmistakably dramatic, and it’s easy to see where the eyes would first be drawn.

The inside is decorated in a Japanese-inspired style. The infotainment screen and the driver’s instrument gauge cluster both have big 12.3-inch monitors. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa are all available as standard features. Because all of the key controls are integrated into the touchscreen, the minimalist dashboard lacks traditional buttons. One especially inventive approach was to have mechanical-related operations vibrate when pressed, simulating the action of pressing a button.The center console, like the seat placements, can be adjusted to the driver’s preferences and recorded as part of the driver’s profile. There’s lots of storage, including a huge box hidden beneath the center instrument panel and a laptop-friendly fold-out tray.The Zero Gravity chairs’ compact form helps to provide more legroom for both front- and rear-seat occupants. Engineers were able to free up interior space in unusual ways because to the Ariya’s EV base, such as placing the climate control system under the hood, where a combustion engine would have been. Electric vehicles do not require a transmission tube, and the Ariya’s flat floor provides even greater passenger and freight room.
