Nissan Ariya review

The Ariya seems pricey but it doesn't come as a stripped-out version. Even the 'base' model gets LEDs, 19in wheels, all-round park cameras, ProPilot, heat pump, heated seats and steering wheel and windscreen, the haptic switchgear and big screens, full connectivity and OTA updates. The trim, called Advance, comes with the 63kWh battery for £46,145, or £51,895 with the big battery, or with e-4ORCE and the big battery for £54,595. That seems a smallish price step for useful extra capability.

Next trim is Evolve, which adds electrically adjusted heated and cooled seats, Bose, the HUD and a glass roof. It comes with the smaller battery for £50,140, or the bigger one for £55,890, or with e-4ORCE for £58,590.
