Our road test review of the 2023 Nissan Ariya Empower+ FWD where we tell you all there is to know about this version of Ariya and how it drives.
of being able to just slide it back and forth via a lever is much more convenient and speedier. And yes, those touch buttons on the dash sure do look neat, but I couldn’t help but be a little annoyed when I try to adjust them while driving and I either miss the sensor or the button misreads my touch.
Despite some of these negatives, I still can’t help but to love the Ariya’s cabin. Wrap your hands around the rich-feeling leather wheel, brush your fingertips along the copper-colored trim and feast your eyes on the vibrant screens laid out in front of you. The Ariya’s price is shockingly high — coming in at $59,220 for this Empower+ model after options — but the cabin genuinely backs that price up.
Driving the Ariya is a tale of high highs and low lows. On the plus side, the refined ride and shocking quietness inside the Ariya is luxury-like. Nissan could brand this an Infiniti tomorrow, and it wouldn’t need anything to be improved from that perspective. The smoothness of the electric motor’s acceleration and silky steering give all the inputs a buttery effortlessness to them.
If you’re getting into the EV game and expect rapid acceleration, the Ariya for you isn’t this front-wheel-drive Empower+ model, but instead. The front-drive Ariya with 238 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque is gentle off the line before picking up speed as you go, sort of like a big jet airplane. Except at no point does the Ariya feel quick — it’ll get out of its own way just fine, though I can’t help but be a little disappointed that $60,000 only buys 0-60 mph in 7.2 seconds.
