Nissan was one of the first carmakers to launch an EV with the first-generation Leaf more than a decade ago. Now it’s taking all that knowledge and rolling it into the Ariya, the first of 15 different electric vehicles Nissan plans to launch by 2030.
The new Ariya will start at $45,950 with a Nissan-estimated 300-mile range, and it’s one of the better-looking EVs coming out in the next year or so.
Here’s everything you need to know about the new Nissan Ariya, from release date, price, and specs to range and charging time.
