New Ariya owner review in Europe?

Sounds like a friend at a dealer let him drive it for a day as a loaner. Youtube will auto translate in subtitles. Initial setting said Dutch, and then I put it into English.

Hi , it is me.

Yes i am Dutch and not a friend from the dealer, just a customer who happen the luck to get the cat for one day, normally you get an test drive from 1/2 hour but i bold asks what they will do with the car on Sunday. So i did get the car for a Sunday.

I ordered the Evolve 87Kw in gun metallic

If you what to know something specific let me know.

Wow, congrats @Dobje
I guess you were pretty happy with the experience? Thanks for the offer to share impressions.
What surprised you the most? And was there anything that stood out as needing improvement?

It was still an pre production car, ePedal could have some improvements in comparison with the leaf and i found some bugs that is forgotten some settings. Also charging was not on spec only 60kw it should be nearby 130kw. For the rest it was a extremely good experience, silent, good seats an amazing car to drive with.

Hopefully in about 2 months i will get the new car and if i have some news i will post it also on my YouTube channel. Maybe i consider it in 2 languages, i am honored that my video end up on this forum. I found it with luck as i was searching for the ariya logo 🙂

Did you get a chance to try Android Auto? If so was it swipeable? Thanks

I did , the wireless adapter i did get from kickstarter did not work but direct cable connection did work fine. What exactly do you mean with swipeaple ?

Sorry could have been a bit clearer - can you swipe android auto to the screen in front of the driver. I have the carsifi wireless android auto adapter from kickstarter - hoping this isn't the one you have too!

Oh i did not try that 🤔. That was stupid 🤦‍♂️

Unfortunately yes that is the one i have also carsifi. Hopefully they can fix it with an firmware update. I did not report it yet because i have nothing to test with.

I took the (same) Ariya for a test drive this Monday and also tried Android Auto which worked very well although the colors seemed a little pale somehow. At least it didn't crash during the 15 minutes I used it (contrary to the Leaf). I didn't try the swiping thing but I highly doubt that would work. It also didn't integrate with the HUD (which is amazing by the way).

Did you used the usb cable for Android auto ?, that was working fine , the wireless carsifi adapter did not work. I reported it to the developers already. There were several bugs in the system hopefully they are able to fix some.

I used a USB-A to USB-C cable.

Yes that was working fine.

There's another review here: , in German but you can translate. The first one I can find with actual charging test which shows very stable charging curve starting around 44:51 from 8% to 79% capacity in approx 33mins.

Thanks for the update and congratulations. Hope it's living up to your expectations.

Nice one @Dobje! Love this particular angle, it really highlights the fastback shape.
I'm picking up mine (in blue) next week. Which insurance did you go with?

Hi , I picked the Nissan insurance with 5 year new price coverage.
