Adding to the electric achievements for Nissan at the DrivingElectric Awards 2022, the Nissan LEAF was also crowned ‘Best Used Electric Car’ for the third year in a row.
DrivingElectric Editor Richard Ingram said: “The Nissan LEAF changed the game when it launched over a decade ago, and it’s clear there’s just as much excitement around the brand’s next-generation electric car – the Ariya.
“The cutting-edge SUV’s blend of range, performance and tech saw it crowned the clear winner of the DrivingElectric Readers’ Most Anticipated Electric Car trophy for 2022.”
Andrew Humberstone, Managing Director, Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd., commented: “ARIYA is a bold new chapter in Nissan’s electrification journey and this award is very important to us exactly because it is voted for by the consumer. We are thrilled that the public is just as excited about this highly-anticipated model’s arrival in 2022 as we are at Nissan.”
The all-new Nissan ARIYA is now available for pre-order with prices starting at £41,845. There are four versions to choose from with two battery sizes, 63kWh and 87 kWh, offering up to 310 miles of range (WLTP combined).
ARIYA offers up to 394PS or 600NM of torque, can accelerate from 0 to 62mph in just 5.1 seconds and has the option of Nissan’s advanced all-wheel control technology – e-4ORCE – which delivers power to all four wheels together with significantly increased torque.
Enhancing the customer on-board experience, premium features available include a panoramic sunroof, 10-speaker BOSE sound system, advanced Head-Up Display and an Intelligent Rear View Mirror.
