The 2023 Nissan Ariya is an important vehicle for Nissan as the brand’s first new EV since it launched the Leaf in 2009. But the Ariya faces fierce competition in the midsize electric SUV space, particularly in the form of the excellent Hyundai Ioniq 5. Has Nissan built a winner, or is the Ariya destined to be an also-ran in the segment? Join Edmunds’ Brian Wong to find out in this comparison test video!

Though the Ariya debuted first, it hit the market second and in that time the Ioniq 5 has established itself at the top of the segment. Do you think the Nissan has enough style and substance to knock it down a peg? Let us know in the comments below.

Ariya is quality inside and outside. It’s more like an Infiniti, to be honest. Honestly, not sure why its compared to Ioniq 5. Ioniq 5 is consumer choice for sure, mostly for its affordability. But Ariya got the lux.

I don't feel very good about being compared to the likes of Ariya as an owner of Ionic 5, but If Ionic 5 sets a textbook example as an electric car, then it would be accurate to say how faithfully Nissan has imitated Hyundai.

@Wised1000 Жыл бұрын

There is no doubt that KIA is the present EV king particularly when you consider price. Tesla should take notice since their biggest threat has always been major car makers making EV's that are better than theirs. The Ionic is exactly that. The Japanese efforts on EV's have been late, weak and a generation behind, hopefully Honda's wait till its competitive strategy bears a much better vehicle. The Aria is not half bad, the Toyota is an embarrassment. Mercedes BMW and Audi have already ensured that Tesla has no chance of encroaching on their turf.

@peterfessier9780 Жыл бұрын

The Ariya has a rear wiper, and I think its a little higher off the ground. Those are the only advantages. I went to test drive an Ariya and the 12 volt battery was dead. By the time they had it fixed, two weeks later, I wasn’t sure I really wanted to bother test driving it. I was able to sit in one and I didn’t much care for the haptic buttons and the Although I thought I’d like the lantern effect on the doors, it looked cheap to me. In the end though, the only real problem with the Ariya, is the price.

@BTC909 Жыл бұрын

If a Leaf had NACS charging i'd probably go that instead. I agree with the other commenter, this is still a better choice over the bZ4X.

@myusrn 4 ай бұрын

The Aryia estep doesn't bring you to complete stop so you are forced to use brakes from time to time that keeps them from seizing up due to lack of use. Something that happened with leaf's and I would expect in the ionic 5 as well if you did full single pedal driving for long periods of time.

Hi there, I too am shopping for a new EV and am comparing these 2 exact cars. I love the look of Ariya- so much sexier, but the interior looks cheaply done to me, comparing to Ionic 5. I absolutely love those 2 screens in Hyundai. Seats feel more comfortable too. What i DO love about Ariya is higher ground clearance (I live in Alaska and so high snow could be an issue) and like a said before- the overall exterior design. But I love that Hyundai is offering $7500 tax credit, unlike Nissan. So not sure which one I'll end up getting. Also dealership people at Nissan up here don't seem to be working as hard as Hyundai people when it comes to selling you the car, they seem to be less knowledgable too. It's not like I'm buying a $30 lapdance. It's 50K!!! Sell it to me!🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I love the decent central storage space in the Ioniq. I absolutely love a car where you can place a grocery bag or small bin for trash. I abhor cars with closed off central front row space. I understand not wanting the liability for items jumping over a fence from the middle and into the driver's side floor. But with sufficient fencing, that's not an issue. Do some testing on the track to verify that items don't jump out, and an OEM has done their safety diligence--their arse should be legally covered. I don't understand who these humans are who never need even the smallest refuse container/bag in their cars.

Interior is streets ahead of ths EV5 and DC charging speeds are fine as there are still very few really fast chargers here in Ireland. In any case I do 99% of my charging at home.

Oh, Edmunds. Showing your anti-Nissan bias, again. So many other automotive authorities are praising the Ariya - especially its interior (with it winning Auto Ward's Best Interior prize) - and here you are bashing Nissan, once again. They can never do anything right by y'all. I'd much prefer the Ariya. Have seen and sat in both the Ioniq5 and the Ariya and the Ariya feels like the higher-quality, more luxurious offering. (And, it was in an awesome dark green color, which showed splashes of purple, blue and black, too - with beautiful copper-colored detailing in the interior.) The seats were by far more comfortable in the Ariya, as well. Didn't get to drive 'em - but, with what I saw and felt, it was no contest. Nevertheless, I like this guy's reviewing style.

@spcneary Жыл бұрын

The Ariya is objectively not as good as the i5, most EVs out currently aside from the Nissan leaf and BZ4 have something going for them, the Ariya would have been good in 2020 but it is not worth the money in any objective way in 2023.

@Naldynator Жыл бұрын

@@spcneary To say it's "not worth the money in ANY objective way" sounds very SUBjective to me, actually, in addition to exaggerative. Objectively, as the reviewer stated himself, it is is a very good car. If someone subjectively hates the weird styling of the Hyundai, for instance, and the NIssan is not significanly objectively worse than it, then it becomes an objectively the better choice for such a buyer. However, many of the points this reviewer mentioned were, in fact, subjective: The interior of the Ariya is objectively better than the Hyundai's, but he just preferred the Ioniq's interior and looked for any way to bash the Ariya's; and he subjectively thought the Ioniq's styling was better and subsequently spent time bashing the Ariya's. A .5 difference in 0-60 speed, especially when it's around the already-fast, 6-second mark, is not going to be felt by an average driver. And, the almost insignificant 5-mile advantage in range can easily be swayed either way depending on a number of factors. I'm not saying exaggeratively that the Ioniq's not any good. It seems like a great car! But, to place it at such a markedly higher score than the Ariya's seems out of place and biased - especially considering the Aariya's better and more comfortable interior, which is where one objectively spends all of one's time when driving...even "in 2023."

@@Naldynator you are missing the point entirely, objectively what does the Ariya do better? The only reason to buy it is subjective, like looks or you like the way it drives. Objectively the Ariya charges slower than the competition, it isn’t as fast as the competition, and it costs more than the competition. I don’t hate the Ariya, I think it looks good, but it’s nothing special in a class of very good cars. Objectively the ionic 5 charges faster than the competition, it costs less than the competition, and it is middle of the pack on everything it isn’t better at. The Ariya is not best in class at a single thing I am aware of, and it is at the bottom of the list on most things. Edmunds is objective, you are highly pro Nissan.
