The Nissan Ariya 87kWh, available since July 2022, features an 87.0 kWh usable battery that delivers up to 450 km of real-world range and an efficiency of 193 Wh/km. This front-wheel-drive electric SUV produces 178 kW (242 PS) and 300 Nm of torque, accelerating from 0–100 km/h in 7.6 seconds, with a top speed of 160 km/h.
Charging capabilities include a 7.4 kW AC onboard charger and 130 kW DC fast charging, allowing a 10–80% charge in 35 minutes at up to 540 km/h.

Range varies by driving and climate conditions: from 320 km in cold highway settings to a maximum of 660 km in mild urban driving. The 1-stop range for long-distance travel earns it a 2.5/5 rating, with a typical fast-charging stop enabling over 120 km of extra driving range.
