A Nissan Ariya lease (UK) was first available in summer 2022 when the futuristic car launched in this country. So, it's a relatively new player on the field and, so far, it's performing extremely well and impressing plenty of those in the know. Of Nissan's wide range of cars for lease, the Nissan Ariya crossover SUV is their second electric-only model, after the Leaf.
If you're considering leasing, and you think an electrically-powered SUV big enough to use as a family car could be right for you, the Nissan Ariya is well worth checking out. It's practical, it's versatile, and provides really solid electric-only performance.
It's got a luxurious feel to the build and Nissan has clearly spent a lot of time in the planning stage. Dare we say it that, as far as this class of crossover electric vehicle goes, they've got it pretty much spot on.
You can choose a Nissan Ariya to lease as either a front-wheel drive or an all-wheel drive (e-4ORCE) and pick between a 63kWh or 87kWh battery. If you're not sure - keep reading and we'll take you through the different picks.

In a word, the Nissan Ariya looks futuristic. In fact, we'd go as far to say that it has a revolutionary design. It's got a sloping roofline, which gives it a cat-like form, and a large front grille. This tough looking front end means it looks far more like a tiger than a pussy cat on the road - road presence is a definite plus point with the Ariya.
The rear lights are eye-catching too and, as it's a relatively new electric SUV, expect to draw more than a few interested looks as you pass by. People are going to notice the design and high-tech features of this car and wonder what it is!
There's also the option to choose a contrast roof, which looks really good and ups the ante when it comes to the sporty image.
But, of course, looks are never everything - although we do admit they are important - in fact, the beautiful Ariya is a lot more than eye-candy. Let's have a run through of some of this car's highlights.
Features, features, features - we're always talking about them. But, try not to glaze over because the Ariya has some really special characteristics that you'll want to know about if you're considering an electric car on a UK lease .
Let's have a quick tour around the Ariya, starting with the inside.
Nissan does interiors really well and you'll often find more luxuries and driver-comfort premium features than you'd get with a comparable car from a competitor. The brand rarely disappoints in this and many other respects.
The interior of the Nissan Ariya is exactly what we'd expect from this manufacturer. It's stylish, it's clean, it's not loaded with gizmos and gadgets you don't need, and everything feels solid and high-end. There are plenty of plush materials to enjoy and colour schematics have been given careful consideration.
On the dashboard, you'll find two big digital displays that make everything you need to see nice and clear. There's a centre console that slides back and forth too, this makes a really comfortable armrest and can be moved around to accommodate tall passengers in the back to give them more leg space. You'll also notice the well-designed, two-spoke steering wheel and futuristic ‘haptic' buttons on the dash.
The whole look and feel inside the Ariya is calm. It's somewhere that's going to de-stress you after a long day at work. It's somewhere your family will enjoy spending time when you're taking to the road at the weekend. In fact, it's so relaxing, you might find yourself wanting to take a break from busy home life by popping out to get the groceries and then spending some time chilling out in the carpark before you drive home!
Part of the reason for all this comfort and relaxation is the Ariya's seats. They're ergonomically designed to be supportive and they have super-thick cushioning that really does hold you in all the right places. Apparently, they're based on a NASA design to promote blood flow when you're sitting in one place for an extended period of time. This is shown to reduce fatigue and relieve all those aches and pains that long-distance or heavy traffic driving can cause.
Still on the topic of the seats, you get an electric adjustment feature as standard. Team this with the range of adjustments available on the steering wheel and the Ariya is a car that you'll find the perfect driving position in, whatever your size or shape.
Looking for a family car but not ready to make the switch to fully electric? The Nissan Qashqai is another great lease deal for modern family drivers, with the newest version offering a mild hybrid engine.
You'll get a 12.3-inch digital display located behind your steering wheel, even on the basic trim. This provides you with all the driving and trip information you need.
There's also an infotainment system located in the centre of the dashboard. Enjoy bucket loads of standard features, including:
Android Auto
Apple CarPlay
Smartphone mirroring
Sat-Nav
DAB radio
Google and Alexa availability
This means that you've probably got a similar amount of connectivity as you do in the comfort of your own home.
The six-speaker system is more than adequate but, if sound is high on your list of priorities, consider a higher-spec trim and get a full Bose stereo system with 10 speakers. This setup delivers a really high-end quality of sound.

The first thing that you should decide is whether you want front or all-wheel drive. If you're a strictly urban driver, front-wheel drive is probably all you need. However, the all-wheel drive does provide a good deal more grip on challenging road surfaces. If you live out in the country or you're worried about early morning commutes on icy roads, this upgrade is worth considering.
All that extra grip makes cornering at speed a doddle so, if your driving style is faster than average, all-wheel drive is going to make you feel secure and confident on even the sharpest bends.
The all-wheel-drive versions of the Nissan Ariya have the 87kWh battery size - there's also an ‘e-4ORCE' performance version to try too if it's all about power for you.
If you're more of a front-wheel-drive driver, you can choose between a 63kWh or a 87kWh battery. Like all electric vehicles, the bigger battery means you can travel further at higher speeds before needed to charge up. But, the choice really comes down to your preferences, driving style, and budget.
A bigger battery usually means a greater monthly cost, so if you're keeping a close eye on your monthly outgoings, consider whether you really need the extra range that the battery upgrade provides.
So, we have three engine choices and two trims to choose between. From the entry model to the higher-spec all-wheel-drive crossover models, let's have a quick rundown on some of the main differences and look at some examples. You'll find additional versions of the Ariya with various upgrade packs on our website.

Of course, with an all-electric SUV, you need to know just how far you can go on a single charge. Nissan's official figures for the 87kWh battery version of the Ariya is 310 miles of range on one charge.
That's impressive but, it must be remembered that driving ranges are calculated at the optimum weather conditions, battery condition, and driving style. However, with a realistic figure of 250 miles of range possible for drivers with an average driving style travelling in average conditions, that's still pretty outstanding.
250 miles is more than enough for most commutes and even weekend use if you're planning on taking the family away. A Nissan Aryia lease means you've got plenty of space, whether you choose to fill that with passengers, luggage or other cargo, so adventuring can most definitely be on your leisuretime menu.
The battery will charge from 10-80% in around 35 minutes using a public rapid DC charge point. If you're using a 7kW electric home charging point , expect this level of charge to take around 14 hours. That's not as fast as some alternatives, so don't forget to put your Ariya on charge when you get in from work to avoid running late in the morning because you're waiting to top up with e-juice!

Nissan's ethos is all about giving drivers what they want and making driving a comfortable, pleasurable experience . It aims for the highest-spec tech and the easiest to use interfaces. The array of technology in the Ariya is a pleasant surprise, even considering Nissan's reputation for excellence in this area.
Keeping with its long-standing tradition for cutting-edge electrical technology, ProPILOT is a driver assistance system that's a real game changer. It helps you to stay centred in your motorway lane, deals with stop-and-go motorway traffic and maintains a set speed and safe braking distance from the vehicle ahead.
As an all-electric crossover vehicle, you can expect a lot of space onboard. The Nissan Ayria has that chunky crossover aesthetic, and it doesn't disappoint when it comes to space either.
You get space by the acre in the front of the roomy Nissan Ariya. Even for drivers over 6 feet tall, the seat and steering wheel adjustments will accommodate a lengthy reach and longer legs.
If you're sharing driving with a shorter driver, those same adjustments make it just as easy to find a good driving position.
There's lots of headroom and more than enough legroom for your front passengers too, even with the seat in the most forward position.
Your rear passengers get lots of room to stretch their legs too. The rear seats are noticeably comfortable - rear seat comfort is often something that seems an afterthought for other manufacturers, but Nissan never fails to deliver in this respect. Rear passengers can relax and enjoy the journey just as much as those in the front.
You'll easily get three adults in the back, with slightly less legroom for the centre occupant. The sloping roofline makes headspace a little more limited, but it's not going to be a problem for all but the tallest rear seat passengers.
We really love the hands-free powered tailgate that's fitted as standard to all Ariyas. The standard model Ariya gets 466 litres of boot space, which is nice and handy for road trips or monthly shops. The all-wheel-drive versions lose a little of that useful boot space, you'll get 408 litres - still a decent size. Both the front and all-wheel-drive version boots come with plenty of clever storage spaces and tie-down points.
The Nissan Ariya is a relaxing drive in just about all conditions. Let's have a look at how it performs:
The light steering teamed with quick acceleration makes mincemeat of town driving. Electric crossover vehicles really come into their own on our city roads: You've got tonnes of room for shopping, you're not going to get stung by a ULEZ charge and you can nip in and out of junctions and traffic.
The Nissan Ariya has a relatively tight turning circle and that makes it easy to glide into parking spaces - always a bonus in town. A 360-degree camera system is fitted as standard, which includes sensors, moving object detection and emergency braking - this is great for parking and avoiding other road users on our busy streets!
The Ariya is a quiet, capable motorway cruiser. Add to the mix that it's one of the most comfortable electric SUVs available and you've got a car that's begging you to take to the open roads.
If you're a frequent motorway driver, it might be worthwhile considering the larger battery models. These enable you to drive for longer at faster speeds.
Your ProPILOT driver assist system comes into its own when you hit the motorway, helping you brake, accelerate, stay in lane and maintain a safe braking distance.
Other than in town and out on the motorways, if you're taking to the B-roads, the Ariya performs just as well. It corners admirably, with little body roll, and the responsive steering means that you'll feel confident taking on those bends.
The brakes are agile too and feel reassuringly natural. All in all, getting out and about is no problem with a Nissan Ariya lease - if you're ready to go out and enjoy the road, your Ariya is ready too!
You get lots of high-spec safety tech with the Nissan Ariya as standard. There's the ProPILOT driver assistance feature, but you also get driver attention alert, cruise control, a blind spot warning, emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, and automatic high-beam headlights.
