Nissan has announced a new start price of €39,995 for its 100pc electric Ariya crossover, writes Trish Whelan. The new pricing extends across the Ariya range.
The lead-in price is available on the new 63 kWh Ariya Engage which delivers a range of 404kms. Customers looking for an even more luxurious drive can opt for the Advance or Evolve grades with a choice of a 63 kWh battery which is priced from €42,995, or the bigger 87 kWh battery with a range of up to 532kms and priced from €51,995 for the Advance grade and at €54,495 for the Evolve grade. All prices are inclusive of Government grants.
The car comes with a futuristic design, premium feel and spacious interior and is the most technically advanced Nissan car to date. Standard features include Intelligent Forward Collision Warning/Cruise Control, Blind Spot Warning and intervention, Cross Traffic Alert, and Nissan’s e-Pedal technology that allows drivers to launch, accelerate and decelerate using only the accelerator. The top Evolve spec adds a Wireless Phone Charger, Intelligent Rear View Mirror, a Heads Up Display, ProPilot Park, heated and cooled front seats/heated rear seats, and an openable panoramic sunroof.
Nissan says the entry grade price is on a par, or less than the cost of buying the same sized petrol or diesel car.
