The all-new Nissan ARIYA is Nissan's first proper EV since the Leaf, and it might just be a luxury car in disguise! Forget the cheap and budget-minded interior of the old Nissan Leaf, for Nissan has given the ARIYA quite a few upgrades that make us doubt why it's not wearing an Infiniti badge instead. Especially the absolutely wonderful BMW iX-esque wooden dashboard (with haptic feedback touch buttons!) makes the ARIYA worth a proper look.

But in a world where the Hyundai IONIQ 5, Kia EV6, and Ford Mustang Mach-E exist, is there room for a 238 horsepower, front-wheel drive Nissan for almost $70,000.00 (as tested here in Canada)? Join us in today's review where we take a look at the Nissan ARIYA's exterior, interior, driving manners, and range to see if the ARIYA is a valid contender in the EV market!
