It's a fairly negative review.
I also found it interesting that this review was written by an Australian journalist admitting that it may be some time before the Ariya is even available in their market.
I think the reviewer may have been confused. The pictures don't show an e4orce badge on the back, and we haven't heard of any other sightings of one elsewhere. They say they had driven the short range version before - that has slightly lower power as well, so that could explain why they felt this model had more acceleration.
Possibly. Although that wouldn’t explain away that the 63 kw FWD version has an identical torque rating of the 87KW FWD model. Also Nissan specs the 0-60 time for the 63kw FWD .1 second faster than the 87KW FWD model due to added battery weight. Regardless I’m amazed that Nissan continues to provide a large number of press vehicles equipped with 20” wheels as is pictured in this review. The 20’s are even reported by Nissan to generate a stiffer ride and a 24 mile range penalty when compared to the standard 19” wheels. This reviewer actually did note that by comparison to his July 63 KW test vehicle, this particular Ariya had a ridgid ride and he perceived real world range as tested was a little on the low side.

Here’s a comparative e4orce review with 63kw battery.
