In our October 2026 check, UK guide prices ran from £35,500 to £43,425, with a real-world range of about 205 to 275 miles (official WLTP not listed) and a 63 to 87 kWh usable battery. Some versions are on the Electric Car Grant list, in Band 2 (£1,500).

Nissan Ariya versions and prices

Guide prices checked October 2026 and may already include the Electric Car Grant. Real-world range is EV Database's typical estimate; the official WLTP figure is higher. Always confirm the price with the seller.

Charging

The Nissan Ariya 63 kWh can rapid charge at up to 130 kW. That peak only lasts part of a session: averaged from 10% to 80%, it is about 70 kW, about 40 minutes on a fast enough charger.

At home it accepts up to 11 kW on AC. On a typical 7 kW wallbox, a full charge from empty takes roughly 9 hours for the largest battery; most top-ups take far less. Its CCS plug is on the left side, front. See charging times, smart EV tariffs and chargers near me.

Real-world range

For the Nissan Ariya 87 kWh, EV Database estimates these ranges. Cold means about −10°C with the heating on; mild means about 23°C; motorway means a steady 70 mph.

Heat pump: available (check whether standard). One-stop motorway range with a 15-minute charge: about 270 miles. Try the range reality check or the range map for your own driving.

Running costs

At 10,000 miles a year, charging 80% at home on a smart tariff at 7.6p per kWh and 20% on rapid chargers at 79p, the Nissan Ariya 63 kWh would use about 3,333 kWh and cost about £729 a year to charge (7.3p a mile). Vehicle tax: £10 in the first year, then £200 a year. From April 2028 the pay-per-mile charge (eVED) is due to add 3p a mile, about £300 a year at 10,000 miles.

Space, size and towing

It has 5 seats and a boot of about 466 litres (1,350 litres with the seats folded). It is 4.59 m long, 1.85 m wide (2.17 m with mirrors) and 1.66 m tall, and weighs about 1,993 kg.

Electric Car Grant
