The Nissan Ariya is finally coming to Australia, where the Japanese brand's long-awaited mid-size electric SUV will be released in early September.

Pricing starts at $55,840 before on-road costs for the base Engage variant, and tops out at $71,840 plus on-roads for the dual-motor all-wheel drive Evolve e-4ORCE flagship.

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.

Nissan confirms cheapest e-Power hybrid yet for Australia
Nissan Australia has confirmed a new, more affordable Qashqai e-Power hybrid that will become the most accessible model to utilise the brand's electrified tech Down Under. The 2025 Nissan Qashqai Ti e-Power joins the Ti-L and N-Design in the local lineup, bringing the price of entry down to $47,165 before on-road costs. It's the first time the Qashqai e-Power has dipped below the $50,000 barrier. It's also more affordable than the larger X-Trail ST-L e-Power (from $49,490), though its larger sibling not only offers more space but a more powerful twin-electric motor drive system. As for spec, the Qashqai Ti e-Power emulates the standard specification of the petrol-only Qashqai Ti, which is priced $4200 lower at $42,965 before on-roads. Orders are open now, with initial stock already arriving in the country. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Above: Nissan Qashqai Ti interior Qashqai Ti + Ti e-Power highlights include: Features carried over from lower grades include: As with existing model variants, the Nissan Qashqai Ti e-Power is powered by a series hybrid system that combines a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine running a variable compression ratio with a power generator, inverter and electric motor. System outputs are rated at 140kW/330Nm, driving the front wheels only. Nissan includes its e-Pedal driving mode and regenerative braking to "further enhance the EV-like drive experience". The lack of a traditional gearbox means the Qashqai e-Power is driven only by the electric motor, whereas the turbocharged petrol engine generates electricity transferred via the inverter to either the front e-motor or the 1.8kWh battery pack – or both, depending on driving conditions. Nissan quotes combined fuel consumption of 4.8L/100km compared to the petrol Qashqai's 6.1L/100km, though the gap is widened in real-world conditions such as city driving. Emissions are also down to 112g/km compared to 134-138g/km for the non-e-Power Qashqai range, with the hybrid model also homologated to Euro 6 emissions regulations rather than Euro 5.

The 2025 Nissan Qashqai Ti e-Power joins the Ti-L and N-Design in the local lineup, bringing the price of entry down to $47,165 before on-road costs. It's the first time the Qashqai e-Power has dipped below the $50,000 barrier. It's also more affordable than the larger X-Trail ST-L e-Power (from $49,490), though its larger sibling not only offers more space but a more powerful twin-electric motor drive system. As for spec, the Qashqai Ti e-Power emulates the standard specification of the petrol-only Qashqai Ti, which is priced $4200 lower at $42,965 before on-roads.

Above: Nissan Qashqai Ti interior Qashqai Ti + Ti e-Power highlights include: Features carried over from lower grades include: As with existing model variants, the Nissan Qashqai Ti e-Power is powered by a series hybrid system that combines a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine running a variable compression ratio with a power generator, inverter and electric motor. System outputs are rated at 140kW/330Nm, driving the front wheels only. Nissan includes its e-Pedal driving mode and regenerative braking to "further enhance the EV-like drive experience". The lack of a traditional gearbox means the Qashqai e-Power is driven only by the electric motor, whereas the turbocharged petrol engine generates electricity transferred via the inverter to either the front e-motor or the 1.8kWh battery pack – or both, depending on driving conditions. Nissan quotes combined fuel consumption of 4.8L/100km compared to the petrol Qashqai's 6.1L/100km, though the gap is widened in real-world conditions such as city driving. Emissions are also down to 112g/km compared to 134-138g/km for the non-e-Power Qashqai range, with the hybrid model also homologated to Euro 6 emissions regulations rather than Euro 5.
