Which Nissan Ariya Has the Longest Range?

As a proud dealer of Boulder Nissan, we’re always ready to assist our customers in choosing the perfect electric vehicle. With the increasing interest in Nissan's electric vehicle lineup, especially the Ariya, we're frequently asked which Nissan Ariya model offers the most range. To provide a comprehensive answer to that question, we'll be diving deep into the specifications of the various Nissan Ariya models in this blog post.

The Nissan Ariya model with the most range is the VENTURE+, boasting an impressive range of up to 304 miles. This model outperforms all other Ariya models when it comes to traveling distance on a single charge.

Below, we've compiled a detailed table for a side-by-side comparison of the different Ariya models, their ranges, and other essential specs.

The Nissan Ariya comes in multiple variants, each boasting its unique set of features and performance characteristics relative to its electric SUV counterparts like the Tesla Model Y, or the Hyundai Ioniq.

These include the VENTURE+, ENGAGE, ENGAGE e-4ORCE, ENGAGE+ e-4ORCE, EVOLVE+, EVOLVE+ e-4ORCE, EMPOWER+, and the PLATINUM+ e-4ORCE. Each of these models features different drivetrains, battery capacities, horsepower, and, most importantly, electric range. Read our Nissan ARIYA review here. Its driving experience is amazing!

Here is a horizontal bar chart comparing the range in miles for each Nissan ARIYA trim. The VENTURE+ trim has the highest range at 304 miles, while the ENGAGE e-4ORCE trim has the lowest range at 205 miles. The other trims fall somewhere in between these two extremes.

The Nissan ARIYA price depends on the trim level. It may also depend on whether your state offers any tax credits or incentives for purchasing an electric vehicle. In Colorado, for example, car-buyers are currently receiving a $5,000 refundable tax credit when they purchase a new electric vehicle. You can calculate your tax credit here.
