Nissan Ariya
Once an EV pioneer, Nissan is currently lagging behind many competitors. The Ariya is a compact electric SUV offering a choice of two batteries (66 kWh or 91 kWh) and four output levels (214-389 horsepower). Due to the various configurations available, maximum range can be anywhere between 330-490 km. The driving experience, while comfortable, is rather uninspiring. For sure, the cabin is refined and relaxing, but it’s also part of the reason why Ariya prices are fairly steep.
