As more details about the Nissan Ariya were announced, let’s take a look at the basic metrics and how the entry-level version compares to some of the other EVs in the U.S.
In this post we will focus on the basic front-wheeldrive Nissan Ariya and base versions of the Volkswagen ID.4 (RWD) and Ford Mustang Mach-E Route 1 ER (RWD). In the next post, we might take a look at the all-wheel-drive versions.
However, we must remember that the first shipments are expected in Fall 2022, which means that a lot might change by that time.
Nissan Ariya
Volkswagen ID.4
As we can see in the table, the Nissan Ariya has a noticeably bigger battery (by 11%), which is also expected to translate into a noticeably higher range – 300 miles vs 260 miles (although there is no EPA result available yet).
The Nissan Ariya will offer also more power (by almost 19%) – 178 kW vs 150 kW, but it’s a front-wheel-drive car compared to rear-wheel-drive ID.4. We guess that the Ariya might be slightly quicker.
The Nissan Ariya turns out to be around $6,000 more expensive than the ID.4 – including federal tax credit, that’s almost 18% more. Anyone interested in the car should pay attention to potential better interior materials in the Ariya as well as differences in the standard equipment.

Nissan Ariya
Ford Mustang Mach-E
The comparison with the least expensive Extended range Ford Mustang Mach-E is a bit different, as this time the Nissan Ariya is the one that has a smaller battery (but potentially similar range), less power and is less expensive.
Of course, the Mach-E is more sporty driving oriented, while the Nissan Ariya appears to be trying to be slightly above an average mainstream car.
