2025 Nissan Ariya price and specs
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. Nissan will offer its Tesla Model Y rival in both single-motor front-wheel drive and dual-motor all-wheel drive configurations, as well as with a pair of batteries, spread across four variants. 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. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. 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. Pricing Drivetrains and Efficiency Nissan Australia hasn't confirmed range figures for the entire lineup. All variants feature strut front and multi-link rear suspension. Dimensions Servicing and Warranty The Nissan Ariya is backed by a 10-year, 300,000km vehicle warranty, provided you service the vehicle at Nissan Australia dealerships. Otherwise, Nissan's standard warranty is five years with no mileage cap. Its battery is backed by an eight-year, 160,000km warranty. Nissan offers 10 years of roadside assistance and five years of capped-price servicing, however, it has yet to confirm service pricing. Safety The Nissan Ariya has a five-star safety rating from ANCAP, though for now this applies only to New Zealand-market variants. Standard safety equipment across the range includes: Adaptive cruise control Autonomous emergency braking Pedestrian and cyclist detection Blind-spot assist Driver attention alert Lane-keep assist Rear cross-traffic alert Traffic sign recognition Tyre pressure monitoring Front and rear parking sensors Reversing camera Front, front-side and curtain airbags Advance variants and above get a surround-view camera. Standard Equipment There are four trim levels in the Ariya lineup.

2026 Mitsubishi Outlander gets mild-hybrid power, Australian timing unclear
The Mitsubishi Outlander is ditching its familiar base engine in the US market in favour of something with a much smaller capacity, but it's unclear if Australia will follow suit. Mitsubishi in the US has confirmed the naturally aspirated 2.5-litre four-cylinder in the Outlander will be replaced for 2026 with a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, borrowed from the smaller Eclipse Cross, mated with "the company's first mild-hybrid system". This suggests Mitsubishi is resurrecting a short-lived Outlander powertrain launched in China in 2022. In the Chinese-market Outlander, the 1.5-litre turbo four was mated with a 48V mild-hybrid system and a continuously variable transmission (CVT), and featured outputs of 120kW of power and 280Nm of torque – down 15kW on the 2.5-litre, but up 36Nm. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. We've contacted Mitsubishi Australia to confirm if there are any plans to offer this powertrain here. Since Chinese production ended in 2023, the Outlander is built exclusively in Japan, supplying markets such as ours and the US. In introducing a mild-hybrid 1.5T option in China, Mitsubishi said the electric motor assist resulted in "smooth, manageable acceleration while improving fuel efficiency". In its US announcement this month, Mitsubishi says the new powertrain will bring "increased confidence and drivability thanks to electrified torque adding off-the-line acceleration", though it doesn't make note of any fuel economy improvements – or power and torque outputs, for that matter. It says these will be released later this year, closer to the updated SUV's fourth-quarter (October-December) launch. After a facelift for 2025, there are no further visual changes for 2026 in the US market. However, the range is expanding to include a Ralliart variant. The company has yet to reveal the 2026 Outlander Ralliart. Mitsubishi only offers one electrified powertrain in the Australian-market Outlander: a 2.4-litre plug-in hybrid four. This leaves Mitsubishi without a direct rival to a growing contingent of plugless hybrid mid-size SUVs, including the top-selling Toyota RAV4. If this powertrain remains specific to North America, Mitsubishi will be doing as Nissan has done with its mechanically related Rogue. A twin to the X-Trail sold here, the Rogue in 2022 ditched its atmo 2.5-litre four – the same engine still used in the X-Trail and Outlander here – for a turbocharged 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine. Other forbidden mid-size SUV fruit includes plug-in hybrid versions of the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage, as well as versions of these crossovers with a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine.
