Nissan Ariya gets massive £9,000 price cut
Prices for the sleek electric family SUV used to start from £39,655. However, thanks to Nissan and a Government-funded discount of £1,500, the entry-level 63kWh Engage model now costs £33,500 – £6,155 less than before.
The base model offers up to 251 miles of range, and because all editions with the same powertrain are eligible for the ECG, the more well appointed Advance trim now starts from £37,500 and the top Evolve spec is available from £42,500.
However, the long-range 87kWh Ariya, which is good for up to 329 miles on a single charge, has received an even larger cut of £9,155. Prices for an Ariya with the bigger battery used to start from £44,655, but this edition is now available from £35,500.

The enormous reduction is the result of Nissan having to whittle the starting price down to below £37,000 in order for the longer-range models to be eligible for the EV grant. As with the Ariya's other powertrain, customers can upgrade to a higher specification and still get the Government discount. Advertisement - Article continues below
As added bonuses, the price difference between the two battery sizes has dropped from £6,000 to just £2,000, plus more versions of the Ariya now avoid the £40,000 luxury car tax threshold, reducing running costs.
Even though the all-wheel-drive e-4ORCE versions of the Ariya don't qualify for the EV grant, Nissan has still reduced their prices by more than £5,000, so they're now available from £45,500 – about £6,500 less than the equivalent Tesla Model Y. The high-performance Ariya Nismo costs the same as before: £56,630.
Fiona Mackay, marketing director for Nissan GB, said: 'Securing eligibility for the UK Government's £1,500 Electric Vehicle Grant makes Ariya more accessible than ever. It now offers greater value without compromising on the innovation, design, and performance our customers expect, and reflects our approach of removing barriers to EV ownership and empowering more drivers to make the switch to zero-emission driving.'
At the same time, it's been confirmed that a new special edition called the Ariya Shiro is coming soon and will also start from £33,500, because it'll qualify for the £1,500 Government grant. It will feature the 63kWh battery, an exclusive monotone pearlescent white paint, Nissan's ProPILOT driver-assistance system, a wireless smartphone charger and the Design Pack, which includes LED front foglights and rear privacy glass.
So far, no car from any manufacturer has qualified for the maximum £3,750 Government grant, including the new Nissan Micra, which will start from £21,495 when it goes on sale next month. However, Nissan is confident the all-new third-generation Leaf arriving later this year will be eligible for the highest possible grant.
The Electric Car Grant will automatically be applied to the price of eligible vehicles, meaning buyers won't have to do anything to secure the savings.

More than 100 big stores including Sainsbury's & Tesco at risk of closure over Labour's planned business rate increases
MORE than 100 supermarkets belonging to some of the UK's biggest chains are at risk of closure because of Labour's planned business rate increases. Sainsbury's, Tesco and Morrisons may have to shut large stores, as the Government plots to raise rates for businesses with properties that are worth more than £500,000. 2 Around 50 of Sainsbury's 600 supermarkets will become unprofitable as a result of the higher property charges, according to the Financial Times. The changes would put several Tesco stores at risk, as well as 30 of Morrisons' 500 sites. Sources also revealed that 90 per cent of around 600 Asda stores would be hurt by the introduction of the increases. The new rates will not impact Aldi and Lidl, however, as they operate smaller premises. The Government is bringing in the rate increases to provide extra funding to smaller retailers and hospitality businesses. Tim Martin, boss of pub chain Wetherspoons, blasted the tax raid last month and warned it could lead to fewer boozers on high streets. The planned tax raid comes after Chancellor Rachel Reeves had already hit businesses with an increase in employer National Insurance contributions and the national minimum wage in April. LIDL PAY RISES LIDL is raising its store staff's wages to £13 an hour — joining rival Aldi as the UK's highest-paying supermarket. The basic rate, currently £12.75, will jump nationwide from September 1, rising to £13.95 with length of service. It marks Lidl's fifth pay rise in two years. The budget retailer increased hourly pay for 28,000 staff on April 1. The current national minimum wage of £12.21 could hit £12.86 next year. BOO BOSS CALL BOOHOO has been urged to suspend its chairman and founder for reportedly taking a cut of payments to settle a personal debt. The online fashion firm 's Mahmud Kamani took a £100,000 cut from cash meant for a jeans supplier, The Telegraph has alleged. Mike Ashley's Frasers Group, which has a 29 per cent stake in Boohoo, wants an independent investigation. It comes amid increased friction in recent years between Mr Ashley and retail rival Mr Kamani. Mc-GONE-ALD'S BURGERS McDONALD'S has riled customers by quietly axing several fan-favourite items. The bacon double cheeseburger, bacon mayo chicken and triple cheeseburger were all taken off the menu in May. One miffed punter called the £2.89 bacon double the 'best item on the menu'. McDonald's said: 'We're always evolving our menu to keep things fresh.'

Reeves insists she will focus on boosting collapsing productivity in Budget after GDP figures… but talk is cheap
End product LABOUR came into Government promising growth. So naturally Chancellor Rachel Reeves yesterday seized gratefully on better than expected GDP figures. But the truth is that growth has halved since her National Insurance rise hit business and cost jobs. Any increase achieved in the second quarter of this year came off the back of massive Government spending. Reeves now insists she will relentlessly focus on boosting Britain's collapsing productivity in her Autumn Budget. But — unlike current Government borrowing costs — talk is cheap. We heard much of the same from the last five Tory Chancellors and precious little growth followed. Ultimately, it will be on the delivery that she is judged. The Chancellor's first Budget damaged the private sector. 1 Tik a hike AT first glance the gloating Tik Tok migrant exposed by The Sun appears to be like tens of thousands of other young men who have come to Britain illegally from a safe country in order to make money. That alone should be enough to boot Afghan Parwiz Hanifyar out of Britain. Migrant housed in UK asylum hotel promoted how to kill 'cheating wives' with a razor blade But now we have uncovered disturbing evidence that he is a clear and present danger to women, too. In a message, he tells his followers in sickening detail how he would kill his wife if he ever caught her being unfaithful, and suggests they should do the same. There can be no justification for him staying in Britain at our expense, at a four-star asylum hotel. Get him out now. Day of peace? EIGHTY years ago today the suffering and sacrifice necessary to defeat evil in the Far East finally came to a close. VJ Day marks more than the end of the Pacific war which eventually saw the US and its allies conquer Japan. After the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this day in August 1945 represented a crossroads in human history. Those dreadful weapons unleashed hell — but meant starving British PoWs in Japanese torture camps were given hope of survival. This year the anniversary falls on the same day a US President tries to end a war in Europe. The enormous sacrifices of the wartime generation are a timely reminder of what is at stake.

Arne Slot insists Florian Wirtz must reach Salah's level to meet Liverpool expectations
Arne Slot has said Florian Wirtz must reach the standards set by Mohamed Salah to realise Liverpool's expectations of their new record signing. Wirtz will make his Premier League debut when the champions open the season at home to Bournemouth on Friday. Slot said the Germany international's 'adjustment went better than expected, and we already expected a lot', but admitted a more accurate gauge would take time. Liverpool consider the 22-year-old a transformative signing in the mould of Virgil van Dijk and Alisson. Their head coach believes Wirtz can have a similar impact by following the example of Salah, who continues to set the standards at Liverpool and has scored nine goals in seven opening-day fixtures, a Premier League record. Slot was asked whether Wirtz was a signing to take Liverpool to the next level. 'That is something I can only answer in the upcoming years,' he said. 'Everything we expect is very positive, but between expecting and realising something is different. 'Why are Messi and Ronaldo and Mo so highly regarded? Because they are always fit. Every single game they are fit and that is something that Florian first has to show in a league like ours. If he is able to stay fit then our fans will see great moments.' Liverpool paid a club record £100m to sign the attacking midfielder from Bayer Leverkusen and he could cost a British record £116m with add-ons. Slot, however, denies Wirtz is a statement signing by the club, who beat Bayern Munich and Manchester City to his signature. Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion 'Liverpool have done this before,' he said. 'With Alisson Becker we spent so much money, with Virgil we spent so much money, and with inflation I think it is the [level of] Liverpool signing. We mainly make these signings. But we also sell players. If we make these signings, we also have to sell players. 'He is a different profile to what we have. That is what we wanted – to bring a different profile in rather than adding something that we already had. It is very positive that we could bring in such a highly regarded player, but Liverpool has always been able to bring in these kinds of players.' Liverpool's summer spending will pass the £300m mark when the 18-year-old defender Giovanni Leoni joins from Parma for an initial £26m. The club also want to add Marc Guéhi and Alexander Isak. On a summer of change at Anfield, Slot said: 'I would have preferred Trent [Alexander-Arnold] to stay, but unfortunately he didn't. Then you have to replace him. Then you have situations like Caoimhín Kelleher and Jarell Quansah. It is always hard for a player to have two or three seasons like this [not being a regular] in a row and if a player is not able to do this mentally then it is best to split ways and you have to replace. 'The Luís Diaz and Darwin Núñez situations are quite clear so then you have to replace. I think we did that really well. From the options we could get we got all the ones we would like to bring in.'
