Episode description
Nissan pioneered mass market electrification with Leaf but it took a long time to bring it’s second EV to the US. Ariya is quite different from Leaf. It’s more refined. CHAdeMO is gone. The battery pack is liquid cooled. And AWD is available (dubbed e-4ORCE). The roomy cabin with its Japanese inspired details will seat 5 adults. Tom Voelk drives a loaded Platinum+ trim and finds comfort, style, solid range but pokey DC fast charging.
