24 evolve + Awd. I'm averaging 3.5. Have a 140 mile round trip commute...mixing mountain and flat driving....average speed 62MPH...I'm getting around 300 miles of range...just wondering if other people are experiencing about the same...thanks
I got my 2025 Ariya Evolve+ earlier today. The buyback for my leaf will be finalized on Thursday, the 15th. Love it so far!
Just to clarify, I love my Ariya. The problem is the dealer is either not equipped or refuses to acknowledge a problem. Had it in twice for the service EV system light. Both times it went off just prior to dropping the car off. Advisor says if it’s not on we can’t diagnose it? So my 2008 Ford Ranger light comes on and I can use a $30 scan tool and it’ll tell me what’s wrong but my $55000 EV can’t store a code? Anyway went to pick it up after them blaming the problem on my charger. They had it plugged into their charger. I unplugged it and boom the light back on! I was going to buy it, my lease is up in December but my concern is that it will be harder and harder to get service.
I know everyone is going to tell me to change out the battery, the dealer tested and said it good.
Been looking at some used ones and it seems like a great deal

I test-drove two more CPO Ariya Platinums this week both with under 20,000 miles, at the same dealership. That brings me to four different Ariyas I've driven, including both FWD and AWD models.
What surprised me was the dealership telling me that reduction gear issues aren't a matter of if, but when. They said some vehicles develop performance issues while others continue driving normally despite the noise.
The dealership is also selling an additional Nissan CPO warranty wrap for about $2,500 and apparently pushing Nissan to cover these issues but getting push back from Nissan not wanting to cover under warranty.
An additional $2500k to maybe cover an known issue long term makes this very expensive for what it is..
Especially when the reduction gear seems to be a wear item that needs to be replaced at intervals
Another thing I've noticed across my test drives is that the Ariya seems to rock or shift slightly when coming to a complete stop. I've noticed this on multiple vehicles.
A few questions for current owners:
Has anyone else experienced this rocking sensation when stopping? Is this normal for the Ariya?
Has anyone had their reduction gearaudio example replaced? If so, at what mileage, and did the problem return?
Has anyone purchased the Nissan CPO wrap warranty? Is the additional $2,500 worth it?
Are there owners with significant mileage who have never experienced reduction gear noise or issues?
I really like the Ariya, particularly the Platinum, but after driving four different examples and hearing these comments directly from a Nissan dealership, I'm having second thoughts about long-term reliability.
I'd appreciate hearing from actual owners, especially those with higher-mileage vehicles.
Got my car Wednesday. Just got app access yesterday. The features mostly seem to be working, but the charging predictions are way, way off. I didn’t see any answers when I did a search of this subreddit. Any advice?
Okay, context, Live in Central AZ, was planning on purchasing and EV for when I retire (approx 2 years out). Have looked at several different manufacturers of EV's. I really like the features of the Ariya Evolve, definitely checks all the boxes.
My questions are (understanding that due to the current US political model, Nissan has discontinued sales of new Ariyas) I'm trying to decide is I should buy now or wait? There seems to be a steady stream of these for sale, pricing for low mileage '24s & 25's ranging from $26k to $33K.
What are y'alls opinion on whether or not the Ariya will become lower in cost or go up in cost? Will there be more available due to being discontinued or less because the car will now be more "rare".
Appreciate helpful responses (and good funny ones as well 😄 )
24 Evolve+ Eforce, 40K miles for $18K (Manheim). In CO, perhaps the previous lease owner recognizes it.
Waiting to be delivered this week-end, it's joining home the little older brother 23 Leaf+, of the same color.
Other than sound of cicadas, what else should I look or watch for? How do I know the software has been updated?
Glad to finally join the club!
Traded in my Equinox EV after the lease was up and the dealership had zero EVs. So, I went to a strictly used EV dealership in the Twin Cities and they had a nice Ariya on the lot.
Ariya engage, 24,000 miles on it for $20k. Not too shabby. The drivers door armrest being so much lower than the console is the only complaint I have, thus far. First world problems
Hello,
My partner got into an accident with my 2023 Ariya (northern lights) and we have been trying to get the data that the car supposedly stores from a collision.
Woman claims he backed into her. He said he was stopped, foot on the brake. Insurance says you are shit out of luck unless we can get this data.
We have gone to the Nissan dealership (paying a few hundred for nothing), and to an auto body shop (suggested by dealership), and they both say they are unable to access it.
We contacted Nissan directly and they told me it costs $850 to download the data and everything I read online shows that it should be free to access my own data and that it sounds like a scam that they charge me $850 "per download" for the data.
Has anyone heard of this, done this, or have any other suggestions to get this data so I don't have to pay $4k* to get my sensors and my bumper fixed?
Got this beautiful car couple of weeks back. It’s 2023 Evolve+ eforce 33k miles driven
Low battery estimation
Hello, my Nissan Ariya has 39,000 km. At first, when I charged it to 100%, it showed an estimated range of about 500 km. Later it dropped to 400 km, and currently it is down to 350 km. I don't know if it will keep decreasing or not. Should I be worried about my battery, or what is causing this?
Is nissan ariya 2023 evolve+
Benefits of changing reduction oil? (I'm at 28k miles) ... should I change it.. seems very easy to change.. what good brand oil kind to use?
Is it good to change to prevent failure..?
I just bought a CPO venture+ and I’ve noticed a buzzing noise that only happens when accelerating. It’s not the whining of the motor, it’s not the pedestrian warning, I think it’s the reduction gear and sounds like “cicadas”. It’s still pretty faint, the problem is I’m moving in like 4 days. I want to go to the dealer and 1) confirm it’s the gear and 2) ask why they sold me a failing car. But if I do that wouldn’t it take too long? Would they be able to fix it in time or should I really take this car on a 400 mile roadtrip and try to get it fixed at my destination. I guess I could also still return it but that would be such a major main in the ass
I am looking to purchase a used Nissan Ariya In the UK. I have seen battery state of health percentage can be obtained for electric vehicles via OBD. The used car dealer who is selling a Nissan approved used Ariya states Nissan don't provide this information. This has become a blocker for purchasing at this time. I would like any advice from existing owners if they have experienced this or any input on why this reading cannot be provided please. Thank you.
Happened to me twice now. This thing has cost me at least an hour or my life, trying to key my phone out of it!
'24 Evolve+ e4orce, 24k miles. Not a single issue of any kind in 2+ years. Today, started charging session in garage with our wall mounted Emporia. All good initially, then received notification that charging had stopped. Went down to garage, saw "Service EV System" warning on dash. I unplugged, restarted the car, the warning popped again but then disappeared. I plugged in again, started charging, then it stopped again after about 2 minutes. Now it has been cycling between charging and not charging, but no EV System warning on the dash. Any thoughts? We've never touched the 12v. Also - likely irrelevant - but I also got a key fob battery low message.
No Wireless Android Auto yet though. Just the Alexa bits and the battery warming widget.
Here's hoping WAA arrives soon, hopefully less than 18 months time....
Got myn '23 Evolve up in WA this past summer, and just brought it down to SoCal desert this week, with temps in the 100s. I didn't have a problem with the a/c up north, but the temps were only in the low 90s. Now I find the a/c only blows cool air, maybe 80 or so, instead of icy air like most cars. Is this common with the Ariya? Maybe someone in a hot desert climate can tell me if this is all I can expect, or should I have the a/c system checked? TIA
