Nissan Ariya lease deals

About the Nissan Ariya

The Nissan Ariya is a large electric SUV with a striking look. Intended to be a full-sized family car for those who might otherwise consider something like a petrol-powered Kia Sportage or Volkswagen Tiguan, the Ariya is an alternative to popular electric SUVs such as the Skoda Enyaq, Volkswagen ID4, Tesla Model Y or Kia EV6.

The Ariya’s glossy front end and distinctive headlights make it stand out from the crowd, and that impression continues inside, where you get features like a wooden dashboard with hidden touch-sensitive buttons, and thick, shagpile carpeting.

With a competitive range of up to 330 miles and a standard heat pump to improve power consumption in the winter, the Ariya is a decent - if not outstanding - entrant to the world of electric SUVs from the company that introduced the mass-market EV to the UK back in 2010 with the original Leaf.

Why lease a Nissan Ariya?

An electric car is about as plug-and-play as a mobile phone, and leasing one is as simple as a phone contract. Pay a few months up front and then it’s just one monthly payment to cover your car payment, road fund licence and usually maintenance too, leaving you to pay for just your fuel (electricity) and insurance. The Ariya is a good EV for those looking for predictable costs, because its range gauge is really accurate so you should be able to plan journeys more easily and avoid pricey public charging.

The rapid pace of development within electric cars - meaning that sometimes the same model might get an upgrade just a year or two into your ownership - means that the flexibility of leasing a car is great, as you can upgrade to the latest model much more often than you can with traditional finance.

Leasing can also help you to afford a posher or longer-range model than you would otherwise, with lower monthly costs than most other forms of finance. So you could opt for a more powerful Ariya, or one with a bigger battery.
