Nissan has cut the price of its Ariya EV by up to £3,750 with the line-up starting at £39,645 and the top spec ARIYA available from £59,025.
All existing 63kWh ARIYA will be reduced by £3,000 and all 87kWh variants will be reduced by £3,750.
This reduces the price difference between the 63kWh and 87kWh batteries to £5,000.
ARIYA Engage 2WD is available in both 63 kWh and 87kWh battery sizes. It will be offered at a new entry price point of £39,645.
Evolve+ is a new top-of-the-range e-4ORCE derivative and is priced from £59,025. This grade offers the highest power output of the ARIYA line-up with 394PS (388 HP) of power and faster acceleration that goes from 0 to 62mph in just over 5 seconds, perfect for customers who seek a more exciting driving experience.
Nic Thomas, Nissan GB Marketing Director, said: “ARIYA is a key pillar of the Nissan line up and these two new variants will make ARIYA more appealing to a much wider audience.
“Nissan’s electrification strategy involves making EVs more accessible and a new entry grade and new top spec variant, both timed with our enhanced pricing, are working to deliver a more enticing customer proposition, based on both price and performance.”
