YOUR EX test-drives the all-new Nissan Ariya and finds this electric SUV combines luxury, sustainability, and fierce style.

The all-new Nissan Ariya is more than just a sleek electric SUV — it’s a bold statement of identity, innovation, and sustainability. For Aotearoa’s queer professionals and changemakers, the Ariya offers a sophisticated and future-forward vehicle that aligns with values of progress, style, and responsibility.

As more Kiwis look to embrace eco-conscious living, the Ariya represents a modern alternative to traditional executive cars. It’s about leading with purpose while enjoying all the luxury and comfort you deserve, with no need to compromise.

ELECTRIC AND EFFORTLESSLY CHIC
With a range of up to 515 km (WLTP) and e-4ORCE all-wheel drive, the Ariya is ready for anything — from inner-city coffee runs to weekend road trips with your crew. Its near-silent ride and refined handling make every drive smooth and affirming. Plus, the Ariya’s strong performance and versatility mean it’s just as comfortable navigating Auckland’s rush hour as it is coasting through the Coromandel.

AN INTERIOR THAT FEELS LIKE HOME
Inside, the Ariya welcomes you into a space that’s equal parts high-tech and high-comfort. The ‘zero-gravity’ seats cradle you like a hug, while the electronically sliding centre console lets you customise your space — whether you’re picking up your besties or prepping for a big day.

A clean, minimalist dashboard features a sweeping digital display and touch-sensitive controls, keeping things stylish and smart. And with 466 L of boot space, there’s room for your gym kit, pride flags, and a couple of overnight bags for spontaneous weekend escapes.

SUSTAINABILITY THAT MAKES A STATEMENT
For many in our communities, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a responsibility. The Ariya reflects that beautifully. It’s a vehicle that shows you care about the planet and how you show up in it.

For queer professionals and business leaders, integrating the Ariya into your lifestyle (or company fleet) shows you’re switched-on, forward-thinking, and not afraid to lead with both heart and style.

QUIET CONFIDENCE, SERIOUS POWER
Don’t let the peaceful ride fool you — the Ariya packs serious punch. Dual motors (on select models) deliver 290 kW and 600 Nm of torque, taking you from 0–100 km/h in just 5.1 seconds. Its e-4ORCE system and smart traction control handle New Zealand’s varied terrain effortlessly.

A QUEER FUTURE ON WHEELS
The Nissan Ariya isn’t just an EV — it’s an evolution. It challenges the norms of luxury and performance with a vehicle that’s smart, sustainable, and proud to stand out.
