Nissan is to offer the first 400 customers of its newly released Ariya EVs a free 22 kW on-board AC charging unit, regardless of the variant they choose, as part of a limited production run to mark the start of Australian deliveries.
The 22 kW AC charging unit can fully charge the lower-spec variants from empty in around 3 hours, and is usually only available as standard on the top-spec Ariya Evolve e-4orce variant.
It is a $3,000 option on the Advance+ variant, although the standard set up is a 7.4 kW on-board charger. After this offer, the base Engage and Advance variants will not be able to get 22 kW on-board AC charging.
Nissan Australia announced the pricing and specifications of the local lineup of its Ariya electric SUV in July.
The Nissan Ariya SUV comes in four variants, with pricing before on-road costs of $55,840 for the entry-level variant. The complete Ariya lineup includes:
The latest EV model from Nissan is available in both 2WD and AWD versions, featuring batteries with capacities ranging from 63 kWh to 87 kWh. These deliver a range between 385 km and 504 km.
All models will come with a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, as well as a 12.5-inch driver screen. The Ariya infotainment also offers Wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto.
Two interior colour options are available, with the black being featured in all variants apart from the Evolve. The top-spec Evolve features blue Nappa leather on seats.
Another key differentiator on the Nissan Ariya is the long ten-year 300,000 km warranty that it comes with when serviced by a Nissan dealer network across the country.
That’s up from most manufacturers offering 5-7 year warranties on the vehicle and an 8-year warranty on the battery pack.
Orders for Nissan’s most successful EV so far can be placed via Nissan’s website now or by visiting a Nissan dealership, with first customer deliveries starting this month.
The latest offer is limited to customers who place an order before the end of September or until the first 400 units are sold out.
