Nissan Ariya Interior Layout & Technology
It's a minimalist delight here – there are controls but on the centre console and dashboard you'll find them lit through the veneer. They give a little haptic click when your finger presses. It's much easier than a touchscreen. Visually, they're a little piece of magic. Only issue is you have to look down to find them because they're not three-dimensional, and they can be hard to spot in direct sunlight. The dash is a simple affair, a layered cake. Big screens stand proud atop a band of cloth, and below are a line of vents. And below that the veneer that carries climate switchgear. The whole thing is slim, architectural and high quality. What's the infotainment like? You've got a big 12.3in touchscreen display in the middle of the dashboard, and another 12.3in digital instrument panel behind the steering wheel (backed up by a decently sized head-up display if you've ticked the right boxes). You've got wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto as standard, which is good for satnav functions as the native one feels graphically left behind. The screen works well, though – it's big and versatile, but can feel a bit laggy at times. The heated seats are fiddly to turn on and need too many jabs of the screen. Is it practical though? Between the front seats is a console/armrest that slides back and forth – it holds lots of stuff, but can wobble a bit if you hit a bump half-way round a bend. There's another glovebox-type drawer below the central screen and a flat floor below, which adds to the feeling of roominess but does mean things fly about if you've popped them in the passenger footwell. There's plenty of room in the back, though, with room for three. The boot is a decent size too, with a wide, flat opening. There's useful underfloor space in the FWD version – somewhere to put the charge cable, because there's no frunk.

Warning issued to drivers with 'stop-start' technology in cars
Pressing the simple button can help save drivers money. Motorists who have a start and stop button in their vehicles are being urged to use it wisely to save them money on their fuel bills. Experts believe drivers can cut their fuel consumption by pressing the simple button in their cars. Driving professionals at the AA said: 'Yes, start-stop technology can save you fuel, especially in stop-and-go traffic. By shutting off the engine when it's not needed, you use less fuel over time. 'The added bonus here is that you'll save money in the long run, because you won't need to top up at a petrol station as often. There's a common worry that frequent starting and stopping can harm the engine. 'However, Stop-start systems are designed to prevent engine damage by using reinforced starter motors and batteries that can handle frequent restarts. These systems ensure that the engine only stops and starts under optimal conditions, reducing wear and tear on engine components and maintaining durability.' According to research from the American Automobile Association found that stop-start technology resulted in a 5 to 7 percent improvement in fuel economy, reports Birmingham Live. Dispelling myths, the RAC added: "If you're stuck in traffic for a minute and your engine switches off, the lubricants will not cool down to damaging levels. "If you find yourself stationary for a longer period of time, the system is designed to start the engine automatically before lubricant temperatures drop too dramatically.

"Another feature that protects your engine, prevents oil from returning to the oil pan. As a result, engines restart with a significant amount of fluid in the engine chamber." Stop-start tech is just one of the more modern features of newer cars, and is known as driver assistance technology. A 2023 survey found that more than 60 per cent of drivers with push-button start systems had no idea their car had a hidden emergency start feature. That means millions of people could be unnecessarily calling for roadside assistance or locksmiths when they could start their car themselves. Fob batteries can drain faster than expected, especially in extreme temperatures or if buttons are accidentally pressed while in a bag or pocket. Knowing how to locate and use the emergency start feature could save you time, money, and stress. The location of this feature varies by manufacturer, but in most modern vehicles, you'll find it in one of these places: On the start/stop button itself. Some cars have a built-in RFID reader that still recognises the fob when it's pressed directly against the button. Inside the centre console or armrest. A small slot or pad designed to detect your fob, even if its battery is drained. Near the steering column. Some models have an emergency key fob reader positioned under or beside the steering wheel. In the glovebox or under the cupholder. A discreet sensor designed for backup ignition.
