According to a DM with Nissan's Twitter account, we should expect to see Ariya pre-orders start later this year! My guess is some time in December.

 

[Philariyan]

That‘s very exciting news. I look forward to more details concerning the models and prices.

 

[tumbleweed]

Anyone know how much Nissan will require to reserve an Ariya? VW asked for only $100 to reserve an ID.4.

 

[bijay]

What would be the cost for Ariya ?

 

[Philariyan]

I have no idea about the reservation deposit.

The entry level Ariya is supposed to start around $40,000.

I hope to have a little more detail on the car prior to reserving one. I'd like to know 1. EPA range of of models, 2. pricing of all models...and hopefully a configurator so we can see what options/colors are available.

 

[Philariyan]

You won’t get the EPA ranges until the car is released in the USA. There should be a lot more details on the models and prices soon, there is speculation about next month. I think that they will be taking reservation deposits on line and I assume configure the car. If you go to the Nissan USA website you can see the colors. Actually you can learn a lot about the car from their website. There are 2 colors shown and to me they are appealing. . The European models have fewer available colors.
I think that the US will see deliveries before Europe, but after Japan.


What do you have against Chinese batteries?

 

[madmike]

I consider the quality of the batteries unproven. I'd want to wait a few years to make sure they hold up OK. Here is an opinion piece for your consideration. Bloomberg - Are you a robot?.

 

[madmike]

Anybody have any guess on when we will see more specs or have the opportunity to reserve an Ariya? I'm hoping for both and if I can get 300 mile range per the EPA on an all wheel drive version I'm leaning towards a reservation.

 

[Philariyan]

I think that Nissan should start promoting the car this month.

 

[tumbleweed]

We should know more this month unless the release date has been pushed back by Covid.

Cheapo....as reliable as GM cars and Ford Chinese made transmissions

 

[Leoblu]

Preorders in USA? Still waiting...get into the groove.

I hope it won't be that bad for us and over time as other automaker rely more on Chinese manufacturing. GM doesn't seem that badly positioned in this quality study.

Preorders in USA? Still waiting...get into the groove.

Have you spoke to local dealers about pre-ordering as yet? Maybe you can get on a waiting list?

Nada yet

 

[Philariyan]

Nada yet

I am good at predicting everything except the future.

 

[madmike]

I'd be surprised if reservations started before the New Year (hopefully that statement will make sure it starts tomorrow.

 

[funnynardo]

reservations not open yet
i think the ariya wont come here until 2022
i see the dealers advertising reservations for the ariya but they arent real reservations. i contacted a local dealer and they said i should pay them 2500 as a reservation. im just gonna wait and see what main corporate says.

 

[Leoblu]

Local sales manager indicated orders in March 2021....I don't believe...

 

[funnynardo]

so much for having preorders open by the end of the year
