Nissan’s all-electric Ariya crossover SUV is getting a refresh for the 2027 model year.

Design evolution

The 2027 Ariya gets a new body colour front panel with a redesigned V signature element up front.

It rides on newly designed 19- and 20-inch wheels made of aluminum and resin.

Exterior colour options gain a new Plasma Green colour, giving the Ariya a new range of monotone and two-tone body colours.

The centre console gets a redesign as well, now offering up to 3.2 litres of storage space.

New technology

The redesigned centre console picks up the latest-gen 15W wireless phone charger.

Other technology updates include the latest generation of NissanConnect with Google built-in. This gives the Ariya an in-car route planner by Google Maps. Drivers can say: “Hey Google, navigate to (and name destination)” and the system will create a route with the most efficient charging spots along the way.

The vehicle also preconditions the battery as you approach the charging station to ensure you get the quickest charge you can.

The MyNissan Canada app lets you monitor battery level, manage charging sessions, adjust climate settings, monitor tire pressure and more.

Vehicle-to-Load now available

The 2027 Ariya has an AC J1772 charge connector, which allows for bidirectional Level 2 charging speeds of 7 kW, with Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) available.

For Level 3 charging, the SUV has a new native North American Charging Standard (NACS) charge port, which supports charge speeds up to 130 kW.

The MyNissan app also allows drivers to find charging stations, see real-time charger availability and pay for charging sessions at public chargers that are part of the Nissan Energy Charge Network.

The 2027 Ariya also features numerous advanced driver assistance and safety features.
