Electric driving range is between 385km and 504km on the WLTP cycle, depending on the variant.
The Ariya is slightly smaller than the petrol/hybrid X-Trail, measuring 85mm shorter but on a 70mm longer wheelbase. Unlike the X-Trail, it's available only with two rows of seating.
Inside, there are plenty of neat details including soft 'Andon' illumination inspired by traditional Japanese lanterns, woodgrain dashboard trim with integrated touch-capacitive buttons featuring haptic feedback, and an available power-sliding centre console.
The Ariya – first revealed in 2020 before entering production in 2022 – is Nissan's first mid-size electric SUV. It takes on not only the top-selling Model Y, but also the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, Subaru Solterra, Toyota bZ4X, Volkswagen ID.4 and ID.5, and a raft of Chinese rivals.

Not every brand in Australia needs a ute, says Honda
Honda Australia says it doesn't need to join the flurry of brands adding dual-cab utes to their Australian lineups – not right now, anyway. The Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux utes have been the best-selling vehicles in Australia for the past decade – the HiLux from 2015 through 2022, the Ranger since. In 2025 alone, they've been joined by new entrants including the Kia Tasman – the South Korean brand's first dual-cab ute – as well as the Chinese BYD Shark 6 and LDV Terron 9.'Does every brand need one? No,' Honda Australia CEO Jay Joseph told CarExpert. 'Do we need one? Not necessarily, but if we have one it needs to be the right one.' CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. Above: Honda Ridgeline Among the top 10 best-selling brands in the first half of 2025, Hyundai and MG are the only not offering a dual-cab ute, but MG will introduce the U9 – twinned with the LDV Terron 9 – later this year, leaving Hyundai an outlier. Looking at the top 20 brands' sales to the end of June, only six don't have a dual-cab ute in showrooms. That includes Honda Australia, which finished 19th on the sales chart over the first six months of the year. The Japanese brand does make a dual-cab ute – the second-generation Ridgeline – which it manufactures and sells in the US, but it isn't planned for an Australia berth anytime soon. 'Regardless of what a brand needs, it doesn't make sense to bring one to market that doesn't suit consumer needs,' Mr Joseph said. 'The current Ridgeline – as it's configured in the United States – Australian customers expect more towing capacity than that offers, [and] obviously right-hand drive sort of takes it off the table, and it's not this product that's in its ninth year.' The Ridgeline uses unibody construction – like passenger cars – where the most popular dual-cabs in Australia use body-on-frame construction which is preferred for off-roading. At 5339mm length, it's only slightly longer than a HiLux, and is powered by a 209kW/355Nm 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine with a towing capacity of 2286kg – well short of the benchmark 3500kg tow rating of leading dual cabs sold here. 'In terms of a ute – and it's been a long question for Honda for many years – in some ways, yeah we'd love it and we'd love to have had it for a number of years, but it's not available,' said Honda Australia managing director Rob Thorp. 'We've seen growth opportunities in the market without that [a dual-cab ute] in our product portfolio right now.' 'Even when you look at the markets as they are, there's still a lot in passenger, in SUV, and there's a lot of opportunity in those segments that we are probably more nationally aligned to. 'If one's available [a ute], we'd look at it – but it's not something we desperately, desperately need to be successful.' Nikkei reported earlier this month that Nissan has commenced discussions with Honda to supply it with a ute out of an under-utilised plant in the US. Should this ute eventuate, it could potentially be related to Nissan's body-on-frame Frontier, however like that model it could be left-hand drive-only.

Japan wins $10 billion contract to build warships for Australia
Japanese firm Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has won a keenly fought contest to build $10 billion worth of warships for the Australian navy, beating its German rival and overcoming concerns about a lack of export experience. Strongly backed by Japan's diplomatic nand military apparatus, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries won favour with its ultra-modern Mogami frigate, which was widely acknowledged as a more advanced warship than German firm TKMS's Meko A-200 vessel. TKMS sought to capitalise on its cheaper offer and the fact that modern Japan has no experience exporting warships in its attempt to win the contest. The general purpose frigate program will see 11 new warships built to replace the ageing Anzac-class frigates, which are regarded as the warhorse vessel of the Australian navy and are being gradually retired from service. In a bid to avoid the cost overruns and delays that have marred the Hunter-class frigate program, the government has ordered that the first three general purpose frigates be built overseas and that there be minimal changes to the existing ship design. The first frigate is scheduled to be delivered in 2029, with most of the ships to be built at the Henderson shipyards in Perth. Loading A lack of support from the Japanese government was blamed for the failure to win a contract to build a fleet of submarines for Australia, a contract that instead went to France's Naval Group before being scrapped when the AUKUS pact was agreed. Tokyo was determined to correct that mistake, arguing that awarding the contract to Mitsubishi would solidify Australia and Japan as 'special strategic partners' in the Indo-Pacific, allowing their navies to operate more closely at a time of rising tensions in the region.
