Nissan Ariya

Spend a week getting to know a car.

Film it over a few hours.

Edit it over a few hours.

Has an issue with my pronunciation of Tesla.

Thanks for watching it though ;)

In the Megane during the week, will be interesting to compare.

Make sure you practice your Renault pronunciation before you post that!.... or just say Ren-awlt to annoy folk, it might get the click count up! 😀

Oh can not wait to see what you think of the Mègane E-Tech. I just wish Renault gave the option of logos as the old one will always be my favourite but the new one is growing on me.

At least the EV6 and e-Megane hatchbacks only borrow the crossover styling for the most part. That said, this is a great SUV... Looks less boring than the Enyaq, and more like the ID.5 than the ID.4.

An Enyaq is not boring. It's a lot nicer than the ID.3 or ID.4.

I would have the Skoda over the Nissan.

Dear customer,

I am writing to confirm our conversation relating to your order that you placed with us for a new Nissan Ariya.

As I explained, given the ongoing raw material supply challenges, Nissan have decided to temporarily suspend orders and remove all online pricing references for the new Ariya across European markets, including Ireland, from September 1st 2022. This follows similar actions that have been taken in the US and Japan.  

As your order was due to go into production from September onwards, it is important to note that delivery timelines or pricing cannot be confirmed by Nissan.

We will not be in a position to fulfil any existing customer orders from September production, or confirm delivery dates for new vehicle orders or pricing until further notice. 

This is not a situation that is in our control, and we are deeply disappointed to be giving you this news.

Your business is important to us, and if you would like to wait for the new Ariya, we will keep you on our priority list and you will have first option on any units that go into production. Unfortunately, we have no timeline from Nissan as to when this will be.

In consideration of the above we will cancel your order and issue you a full refund of your deposit.

Yours sincerely,

Windsor Group.

Let me get this right.

Is your car going to be built in the September batch or not? I'm slightly confused by the contradiction in paragraphs 3 and 4.

I've also got an order in for an Ariya, I had assumed it was in the September build but now maybe it isn't. All my dealer has said he doesn't know when he will get it.

I had looked at other EV vehicles but with all the lead times being so long I decided to keep my business with Nissan.

Strangely enough, they haven't suspended orders for the UK market....yet.

I read as saying that September production can't fulfill the current orders.

And that OPs car was scheduled for production after September.

The issue is that Nissan can't confirm when exactly cars will be built.

The Korean manufacturers have past form for this type of nonsense before all the Covid and war issues.

You couldn't *order* an Ioniq 28 in January 2019.

But Ioniq 28s appeared over the course of the year.

Audi did something similar with Q4 etrons some time ago.

But those seem to be back selling again afaik.

That car for early October delivery is already built.

I would think that the customer got the note in error and that Nissan Ireland should have been able to fulfil that order.

Modern communications and technology should remove randomness like this - ie Nissan Ireland should know from Nissan where every Irish car is in the chain.

Tesla seem to be the only car manufacturer at the moment who can guarantee a delivery that isn't next year

What's the grant limit? That grant is slated to be reduced to 3500 from early next year as well so watch that

Spoke to my dealer today, all he could say was my order was "confirmed" by Nissan but no details on delivery (which I didn't expect anyway).

Also took the opportunity to ask what colour he ordered for me as I gave him a top 3 of my choices but he never actually told me which one it was. Blue Pearl is what I'm getting.

On a side note has anyone taken the option of the 22kw AC charge option on the car? I didn't and kinda regretting it as it would have been great for Ecars 22kw chargers.

Everyone out to screw consumers in every possible way they can. That's market forces for you. In any case in my view to SEAI grant should be integrated into the price of the car just like VAT / VRT and not seen as a little cash bonus thrown to the lucky few who can get their hands on a new EV

Well i think the 63kwh Evolve will go beyond 60k yes (currently €58K), but there is the lower trim 63kwh Advance (€55K) which I guess hardly go over the limit or they won't sell many Ariyas at all here!

My prediction is the 63kwh Advance will resurface at €59,995 in a few weeks. Only small saving grace may be the future resale over the GMFV might be a little higher potentially?

I'll be interested to hear what they say. No contact from my dealer yet re my order being cancelled.

I declined it. Wasn't the colour I wanted and would have been a 'new' car for just 10 weeks. The final straw was the sneaky raise in APR and the inflexibility on the finance arrangements compared to other manufacturers.

Shame, but I have dropped in an order for a Model Y instead. Slightly cheaper too.

Spotted my first one out in the wild today in Castlebar, Co. Mayo.
