2025 Nissan Ariya Platinum+ e-4ORCE
The 2025 Nissan Ariya Platinum+ e-4ORCE is the most refined version of Nissan’s all-electric crossover, combining futuristic design, advanced all-wheel-drive technology, and premium interior touches. Positioned against competitors like the Tesla Model Y, Audi Q4 e-tron, and Lexus RZ, the Ariya Platinum+ offers a uniquely Nissan blend of comfort, confidence, and luxury. We drove the “Two-tone Sunrise Copper Pearl” and it is one of the most gorgeous paint colours I’ve seen yet.
Why the 2025 Nissan Ariya Platinum+ e-4ORCE Stands Out
At the top of the lineup, the Ariya Platinum+ is built for drivers who want an EV that feels upscale and composed. It’s less about aggressive sport tuning and more about a smooth, quiet, confidence-inspiring experience—especially when paired with Nissan’s dual-motor all-wheel-drive system.
Performance & e-4ORCE Technology
Under the hood (or rather, beneath the floor), the Platinum+ packs dual motors with e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive, delivering:
- 389 horsepower
- 0–100 km/h in around 5 seconds
- Smooth, balanced handling thanks to torque-vectoring AWD
The e-4ORCE system is more than just power — it’s engineered for stability. Nissan designed it to minimize body roll, maintain grip in slippery conditions, and even reduce passenger “head toss” in the back seat. The result? A ride that feels planted and luxurious.
Range & Charging
The Ariya Platinum+ is powered by a 91 kWh battery, offering impressive distance on a single charge:
- Up to 465 km range (depending on wheel size and conditions)
- DC fast charging up to 130 kW (10–80% in ~35–40 minutes)
- Home charging via 7.2 kW or optional 11 kW AC onboard charger
While not the fastest-charging EV in its class, it provides more than enough range and convenience for both city driving and long highway trips.
Premium Interior & Comfort
Inside, the Ariya Platinum+ e-4ORCE delivers true premium touches that set it apart from lower trims:
- Nappa leather-appointed seating with quilted detailing
- Heated and ventilated front seats + heated rear seats
- Power memory seating with adjustable steering column
- Panoramic moonroof for an open, airy cabin feel
- Bose 10-speaker premium audio system
Combined with a flat floor and sliding center console, the Ariya’s cabin feels more spacious and customizable than many rivals.
Technology & ProPILOT Assist 2.0
The dual 12.3-inch displays dominate the dashboard, providing a clean, high-tech driver and infotainment experience. Standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keep you connected. The real standout is ProPILOT Assist 2.0 — Nissan’s advanced hands-free driving system:
- Lane centering & adaptive cruise control
- Hands-free driving on mapped highways
- Automatic lane changes with driver confirmation
This feature pushes the Ariya closer to true semi-autonomous driving, competing directly with Ford’s BlueCruise and GM’s Super Cruise.
Pricing & Availability
- Canada starting price: ~$72,000–$75,000 CAD
