Nissan has got the new year off to a flying start with the launch of a new competitively priced entry grade Nissan Ariya and a strong supply of all models of the stylish 100% electric crossover across its dealer network including Marsh Nissan in Athlone.
The good news is set to be widely welcomed by new and existing EV drivers in Westmeath who have been eagerly waiting to get their hands on the new Nissan Ariya since the massive global demand for the car led to its limited supply in Ireland throughout 2023.
The futuristic design of the Nissan Ariya has turned heads since it arrived on Irish roads and Nissan is delighted to not only secure strong stock levels of the car for 2024 but to also set a very competitive lead-in price of €43,500 (inclusive of €3,500 SEAI grant ) which is certain to attract EV drivers looking for a premium drive experience.
The newly launched entry-grade 63kWh Nissan Ariya Engage with its spacious and luxurious interior builds on the strengths of the pioneering Nissan LEAF and the Nissan Qashqai, the world’s best-selling crossover.
The new Engage grade is available with a 63kWh battery delivering a range of up to 404 kilometres and the car is packed full of safety features and connected technologies usually reserved for higher grade options.
Customers looking for an even more luxurious drive can opt to move to the Advance or Evolve grades where they can choose from two battery options, the 63kwh or the bigger 87kWh battery which offers a range of up to 532 kilometres.
The 63kWh Advance grade starts at €45,849, while the higher spec Evolve grade with the same battery starts at €48,349. Pricing for the larger 87kWh battery in the Advance grade starts at €54,100 and at €56,300 in the Evolve grade. All prices are inclusive of Government grants.
“We are delighted to secure stock of this much sought after car for 2024. Our pricing is extremely competitive for a family car of this quality. The first thing that you notice when you sit into the Nissan Ariya is its premium feel and spacious interior. The arrival of the Engage grade allows drivers to step up and switch into a more luxurious EV without compromise.
“The Nissan Ariya Engage also makes it less expensive to drive an EV. The entry price of €43,500 is on a par, or less than the cost of buying the same sized petrol or diesel car. This makes transitioning to zero emissions driving even more attractive and Nissan will continue to lead the way in helping motorists to make that change and to play their part in helping Ireland to meet its climate change targets,” Andy Marsh, Dealer Principal at Marsh Nissan in Athlone, said.
The new Ariya is the most technically advanced Nissan to date. It has been specially designed to meet the needs of tech-savvy customers and to be a partner in an increasingly connected world. Wireless Apple Carplay, cabled Android, and Intelligent Personal Assistant technology all come as standard.
Standard safety features include Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Intelligent Driver Alertness, Intelligent Cruise Control, Intelligent Lane Intervention, Blind Spot Warning and Blind Spot Intervention, and Rear Emergency Braking and Cross Traffic Alert technology. Nissan’s revolutionary e-Pedal technology allows drivers to launch, accelerate and decelerate using only the accelerator.
The interior of the new Nissan Ariya redefines how drivers interact with technology. The minimalist dashboard is devoid of the usual buttons and switches. Primary control functions vibrate when touched and only appear when the car is switched on. The reimagined interior allows for an entirely flat floor, resulting in a wide, open lounge-like experience and the most spacious cabin in its class.
The top of the range 87kWh Ariya Evolve comes with a Wireless Phone Charger, part PVC/Synthetic suede seats, Intelligent Rear View Mirror, a HeadsUp Display (HUD ), ProPILOT Park, ventilated (heated and cooled ) front seats, heated rear seats, a Bose 10-speaker sound system and an openable panoramic sunroof.
