Nissan Ariya order books open in Australia six years after its global debut
The Nissan Ariya – an electric SUV rival to the Tesla Model Y – is now officially on sale via the company's website ahead of first arrivals scheduled for September this year. Priced from $55,480 before on-road costs, the Ariya is the first SUV EV (electric vehicle) in Nissan Australia showrooms, where it will join e-Power Hybrid X-Trail and Qashqai SUVs and the Nissan Leaf EV hatchback. Across its three model grades, the Ariya will offer a driving range of between 395-504km (WLTP) from a choice of 63kWh and 87kWh batteries. There's also a choice of single-motor front-wheel drive and dual-motor all-wheel drive powertrains. Slightly longer than the Model Y, at 4595mm the Ariya will also compete with the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Ford Mustang Mach-E, among others. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. Yet the Japanese-made Ariya has been in production in 2021 after being revealed in concept form in 2019, with the showroom version unveiled in 2020. An Australian launch was first planned for 2023, but its arrival was postponed – something which Nissan Australia blamed on Australian Design Rules (ADRs). The Ford Mustang Mach-E, another Model Y rival, was also revealed in 2019 and due here in 2023 before its launch was pushed back to 2024, the same year Toyota Australia's first EV, the bZ4X, arrived – two years later than planned. In addition to ADRs, Nissan also said Ariya supply was constrained as other countries where EV take-up was higher were prioritized. The timing means the Ariya was not front and centre of an EV price war across the Australian auto industry, led by aggressive price cuts from market-leading EV brand, Tesla – which severely impacted the Mach-E. "I think we've been smart with the timing," Nissan Australia boss Andrew Humberstone told CarExpert in September 2024. "Or else we would have had to respond to the market conditions and our pricing would have been catastrophic. I think we've read that one well." With its September 2025 planned arrival, Mr Humberstone told CarExpert the final push to have Ariya in showrooms came with the arrival of the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES). NVES came into effect on January 1, 2025, with limits for carbon-dioxide tailpipe emissions averaged across each automaker's lineup. From July 1, 2025, financial penalties for brands in breach were enforced. "I've delayed that [the introduction of Ariya] as much as I could in terms of saying, 'Do I really need to bring in that car yet?'. There comes a point when absolutely you have to offset that from effectively an NVES perspective." Nissan also showed a sportier version of the Ariya in 2024, the more powerful Ariya NISMO, which is not yet confirmed for Australian showrooms.

Autoblog brings you car news; expert reviews and exciting pictures and video. Research and compare vehicles, too. The Nissan Ariya Isn't Gaining Traction Since its arrival in the US, the Nissan Ariya has struggled to gain ground with buyers. Touted as the brand's first real electric SUV, the Ariya was supposed to challenge models like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Ford Mustang Mach-E. But based on the numbers, it's barely putting up a fight. In all of 2024, Nissan sold just 19,798 units of the Ariya. For the first half of 2025, the figure stands at 11,619 – an improvement over last year's pace, but still underwhelming. Compare that to Nissan's gas-powered Rogue, which moved 245,724 units in 2024 and 109,563 in the first half of 2025. 0:03 / 0:09 2025 Nissan Z undercuts Toyota Supra by a surprising amount Watch More Versus the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Ariya hasn't been giving a tight contest. The Korean marque sold 44,400 units of the Ioniq 5 in 2024, while the first half of this year already saw 19,092 units delivered to owners. It doesn't help that the Ariya launched late, hampered by chip shortages and supply chain issues. Now that it's more widely available, Nissan seems to be sitting on more inventory than it can move. Massive Discounts, Lease Deals, and 0% Financing According to a recent dealer bulletin obtained by CarsDirect, Nissan is pulling out all the stops to sell the 2025 Ariya, which got updated pricing. Shoppers can now get a $10,000 Customer Cash rebate when purchasing the vehicle outright. That's a huge discount off the sticker price, but Nissan's not done there. Buyers who opt for special financing can choose 0% APR for 72 months and still get $2,500 in bonus cash. On a $50,000 Ariya, the special finance offer works out to be cheaper than taking the cash and applying a typical 7% APR loan. Leases are even more aggressive. In markets like Southern California, the base Ariya Engage trim is being advertised for $179 per month for 36 months, with $4,989 due at signing – an effective cost of just $318 per month. That's cheaper than leasing the current Nissan Leaf, even though the Ariya is larger, newer, and more advanced.
