How does it compare?
NISSAN Ariya e-4ORCE 87 kWh squares up handsomely against contenders like the Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD, Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD Extended Range, Volkswagen ID.4 Pro AWD, and Hyundai IONIQ 5 AWD Long Range. Lets set the stage for this electric showdown, shall we?
Range
When it comes to range, the NISSAN Ariya e-4ORCE 87 kWh offers a respectable 460 km (285 miles), laying a decent gauntlet. However, the Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD shadows it with a whopping 507 km (315 miles). The Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD Extended Range isnt far behind at 483 km (300 miles), while the Volkswagen ID.4 Pro AWD keeps it steady at 388 km (241 miles). The wild card, Hyundai IONIQ 5 AWD Long Range, clocks in at a strong 412 km (256 miles). The Ariya, then, stakes a solid middle ground, but the distances dwindle when compared to Tesla’s extra miles.
Acceleration
From naught to 100 km/h, the NISSAN Ariya e-4ORCE flings itself forward in 5.7 seconds. Admirable, but the Tesla Model Y trumps it at 4.8 seconds. The Ford Mustang Mach-E follows suit at 5.6 seconds—not much ahead. Meanwhile, the Volkswagen ID.4 Pro AWD takes a more leisurely pace at 6.2 seconds, while the Hyundai IONIQ 5 does the sprint in a startling 5.2 seconds. The Ariya’s performance is decent, but in a battle of blinding speed, it takes an honourable bronze.
Power
Under the hood, the numbers get spectacular. The NISSAN Ariya e-4ORCE boasts 302 h.p, cruising ahead of the 346 h.p. Ford Mustang Mach-E and keeping close to the 320 h.p. Tesla Model Y. The Volkswagen ID.4 Pro AWD lags with 295 h.p., and the Hyundai IONIQ 5 stands at 306 h.p. Solid and strong, the Ariya exudes an aura of might, even if it’s not the loudest roar in the room.
Charging Time
Charging up is a pivotal question. The NISSAN Ariya e-4ORCE demands around 7 hours at a 11 kW AC charger. The Tesla Model Y, with its Supercharger network, will top up about 75% in roughly 25 minutes using a DC fast charger. Ford Mustang Mach-E aligns at around 10 hours on a home charger. Volkswagen ID.4 Pro AWD needs 7.5 hours with an 11 kW charger. And the Hyundai IONIQ 5 excels with an 18-minute fast charge from 10% to 80%. Ariya’s middle-of-the-pack charging becomes a slight gripe when immersed in the fast-lane company it keeps.
Price
Wallets out, the NISSAN Ariya e-4ORCE 87 kWh sits pretty at $65,230, £52,000, or €60,000. The Tesla Model Y Long Range asks for $64,990, £51,990, or €59,990. Ford Mustang Mach-E demands $63,095, £50,830, or €58,900. Meanwhile, Volkswagen ID.4 Pro AWD comes cheaper at $50,120, £40,290, or €46,475. The Hyundai IONIQ 5 follows the Mustang, clutching $57,480, £46,000, or €53,000. In sticker shock, the Ariya rides high, rivaling Teslas pricing strategy with equal tenacity.
