The 2024 Nissan ARIYA PLATINUM+ e-4ORCE 87kWh with 19-inch wheels achieves 90 MPGe combined, which means lower fuel costs. It’s about embracing the electric future without sacrificing premium features or all-weather capability for buyers. This ARIYA configuration blends luxury, technology, and lower fuel costs, recognizing that the electric powertrain enables refinement and performance not available in a gasoline car.

City and highway performance

The ARIYA PLATINUM+ e-4ORCE achieves 93 MPGe in the city. This reflects the regenerative braking system’s ability to capture energy during frequent stops and starts, a major strength in urban environments.

On the highway, it gets 87 MPGe, showing consistent efficiency even at higher speeds. Drivers who want maximum range on long road trips will find this more than adequate. The all-wheel-drive system ensures stable and confident handling in varied driving conditions, and it enhances the driving experience. The electric motors’ calibration contributes to responsive acceleration and smooth power delivery that EV drivers like.

Annual fuel cost

According to EPA estimates, the annual fuel cost for the 2024 Nissan ARIYA PLATINUM+ e-4ORCE is $850. This is based on driving 15,000 miles per year, on a proportion of city versus highway driving, and assumes the national average electricity price. This is a meaningful operational cost savings compared to similar-sized gasoline SUVs.

The actual savings versus similar gasoline vehicles depend on electricity rates and driving habits. However, the $850 price is based on 2024 and current US national average prices for electricity.

Real-world expectations

EPA estimates provide a benchmark, but real-world MPGe can vary based on several factors. Aggressive driving, extreme temperatures, and frequent climate control use can reduce efficiency.

Gentle acceleration, consistent speeds, and pre-conditioning features while plugged in can maximize range. Owners who monitor their driving habits using the ARIYA’s energy consumption displays may achieve results closer to the EPA estimates. The 90 MPGe combined is achieved with conscientious driving habits.

How it compares

The ARIYA PLATINUM+ e-4ORCE competes in a crowded field of electric SUVs. The Hyundai IONIQ 5 Limited AWD achieves 98 MPGe combined, a slightly more efficient option. The Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD boasts 122 MPGe, setting a high bar for efficiency, but with a different vehicle configuration and price point. The Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium AWD, at 90 MPGe combined, matches the ARIYA’s rating, offering a different design. For buyers prioritizing luxury features and all-wheel-drive capability alongside competitive efficiency, the ARIYA PLATINUM+ e-4ORCE presents a balanced option. Consider checking ARIYA MPG across all years before making a decision.

Tips to maximize efficiency

Pre-conditioning the cabin while the ARIYA is plugged in can reduce energy consumption during the initial miles of a trip, especially in extreme temperatures. This allows the car to reach the desired temperature using grid power rather than depleting the battery, which is especially important for all electric vehicles, as heating the car in winter can significantly drop the observed MPG.

Gentle acceleration and anticipating traffic flow can contribute to substantial energy savings. Avoiding aggressive starts and stops allows the regenerative braking system to capture more energy, extending the vehicle’s range. Smooth, consistent driving is also an efficient way to drive gasoline powered cars, but even more so for electric ones.

Proper tire inflation is important for optimal efficiency. Regularly check and maintain the recommended tire pressure, as underinflated tires increase rolling resistance and reduce range. See the sticker on the driver’s side doorjamb for the recommended pressure. Also be sure to have properly inflated tires for optimal safety.

Minimize cargo and avoid roof racks when not needed. Added weight and aerodynamic drag increase energy consumption. If you normally use your ARIYA for transporting one or two people, consider removing accessories that are only used when the car is full. This is a common trick to boost fuel economy or range on any car.

Use the ARIYA’s driving modes. Select “Eco” mode when maximum efficiency is desired because it optimizes the powertrain settings for energy consumption. Understand the differences between these modes and determine when you can prioritize efficiency. See all Nissan fuel economy data to help make the right mode decision.
