The electric vehicle (EV) market is experiencing rapid growth, and the 2025 Nissan Ariya shows that Nissan is leading the charge. Following in the footsteps of the Nissan Leaf, this stylish electric crossover delivers impressive performance and cutting-edge technology. Even more exciting, the Ariya was awarded Recurrent's Best Pre-Owned EV of 2025, cementing its status as a top choice for value and dependability.

What Sets the 2025 Nissan Ariya Apart?

Japanese-Inspired Design

The 2025 Nissan Ariya stands out with its minimalist Japanese design. Clean, simple lines dominate the exterior, highlighted by Nissan's "horizon line" wrapping around the body. A modern take on the traditional kumiko woodworking pattern cleverly houses sensors on the front panel, proving that technology doesn’t have to be cold, gray, and soulless.

Inside, the futuristic cabin features haptic controls embedded in the wood-paneled dashboard, replacing traditional buttons. Combined with Nissan’s zero-gravity seats and smart tech, the interior offers both comfort and elegance.

Performance Meets Versatility

The Ariya is a joy to drive and easy on the eyes. Choose between front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) to suit your needs. FWD models offer up to 330 miles of range with the larger battery, while AWD adds e-4ORCE torque vectoring for better stability and sportier handling.

Practical Range & Charging Options

Available with 63kWh or 87kWh batteries, the Ariya offers impressive EPA-estimated ranges, rivaling EVs like the Tesla Model Y and Ford Mustang Mach-E. Charging is easy with Nissan’s CCS connector and Tesla Supercharger compatibility via a NACS adapter, perfect for road trips.

Technology That Delivers

Tech-savvy drivers will love the dual 12.3-inch displays, standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and wireless phone charging (new for 2025). For those looking for semi-autonomous capabilities, the ProPilot 2.0 system offers hands-free driving in certain conditions, adding convenience to your commute.

Named Recurrent’s Best Pre-Owned EV of 2025

Thinking about an EV but unsure about pre-owned options? Check out the Nissan Ariya. Named Best Pre-Owned EV of 2025 by Recurrent, it stands out for its affordability, range reliability, and value retention.

The Ariya’s battery retains 83% of its range even in freezing temperatures and comes with an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty for added peace of mind. Built for tough conditions, it performs well in any climate. Plus, its competitive pricing makes it an accessible option without compromising on features.

This recognition showcases Nissan’s continued commitment to durable, reliable, and value-packed EVs like the Ariya.

Why the 2025 Ariya is Ideal for Today’s Drivers

The EV market is saturated with options, but the 2025 Nissan Ariya strikes a chord for individuals who value style, comfort, and reliability without paying luxury nameplate prices. Compared to rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and VW ID.4, the Ariya blends design and practicality in a way that stands out.

With a starting price of $41,160, the Ariya is priced competitively, though higher trims like the Platinum+ inch closer to luxury options. But for that price, you’re getting a well-rounded package—from its sleek Japanese aesthetics to its solid range and thoughtful features (hello, modular cargo storage system!).

While other Japanese manufacturers side with ICEs, Nissan committed to reducing carbon emissions and ensuring the future of our planet through EVs.

Nissan’s Commitment to Electric

Confirmed by Nissan’s VP for Africa, Middle East, India, Europe, and Oceania regions, Nissan is reaffirming that electric is the way forward. Nissan put forward their plans toward revolutionizing more efficient electric vehicle batteries with stunning amounts of range last month, showing that the future is electric, and Nissan intends to lead the field.

While Nissan isn’t planning on developing new internal combustion engines (ICE) for the markets mentioned above, they do plan to develop the technologies of their new e-Power hybrid systems as a “stepping stone” to full electrification. This is likely due to the continuous development of charging infrastructure around the world. Many countries continue to catch up, but other markets have led the world in electric infrastructure updates.

These announcements may not come into effect immediately in the United States and other Western markets as there is still developing electric infrastructure, but Nissan’s efforts towards electrification worldwide seem to hint that this strategy will be coming to all markets sooner or later.

What This Means for ICE Gas Engines

Nissan intends to keep selling conventional gas and diesel internal combustion engine vehicles but without further advancements in their technology. Instead, the company aims to channel its efforts into enhancing hybrid and plug-in powertrains, prioritizing electric vehicles in its research and development endeavors.

The timeline for completely phasing out combustion engines hasn't been confirmed by Nissan yet. It's contingent upon regulatory requirements and market demands in different regions. However, Nissan's European branch has announced plans to exclusively offer electric vehicles by 2030, starting in September 2023. As for the United States, the specific timing remains uncertain—we'll need to wait and see.
