Nissan Ariya electric lease deals

Leasing a Nissan Ariya in the UK

For an automotive giant with some of the longest electric car production history (the Nissan Leaf has sold over 200,000 units across Europe since launching in 2010 / 2011), many customers were left feeling perplexed about why Nissan hadn’t yet introduced more exciting models to supplement this.

Indeed, the star of electric car engineering, Tesla, managed to outstrip Nissan’s historic vehicle sales via their world-leading Model 3 in just a short space of time. But Nissan are now fighting back and their new electric crossover, the Ariya, is to become one of many all-electric models looking to redress the balance. And in launching a crossover / SUV, Nissan do place themselves with a great opportunity to win back the confidence of the UK’s personal and business leasing customers.

The self-proclaimed “force of wonder” launched in 2022, with early demonstration models being made available as of April / May. At the current time (May 2022), there will be four battery / drivetrain configurations to choose from, including:

• 63 kWh – the entry-model 2WD format possesses 160 kW of power (or 215hp), 0 - 62 times of 7.5 seconds and top speeds of 99 mph. The combined real-world range will be around 175 miles in colder climates and 235 miles in warmer climates on a full charge. Expect charging times of 10 hours for 0 – 100% on the 7.4 kW AC max with 30-minute rapid charging on the 130 kW DC max;  

• 87 kWh – the bigger battery 2WD format generates 178 kW (or 239hp), 0 - 62 times of 7.6 seconds and top speeds of 99 mph. The combined real-world range will be around 235 miles in colder climates and 315 miles in warmer climates on a full charge. Expect charging times of just under 5 hours for 0 – 100% on the incredible 22 kW AC max with 35-minute rapid charging on the 130 kW DC max;

• 87 kWh e-4orce - the bigger battery 4WD option generates 225 kW (or 302 hp), 0 - 62 times of 5.7 seconds and top speeds of 124 mph. The combined real-world range will be around 220 miles in colder climates and 295 miles in warmer climates on a full charge. Expect charging times of just under 5 hours for 0 – 100% on the incredible 22 kW AC max with 35-minute rapid charging on the 130 kW DC max; and

• 87 kWh e-4orce Performance - the elite 4WD configuration generates 290 kW (or 389 hp), 0 - 62 times of 5.1 seconds and top speeds of 124 mph. The combined real-world range will be around 205 miles in colder climates and 265 miles in warmer climates on a full charge. Expect charging times of just under 5 hours for 0 – 100% on the incredible 22 kW AC max with 35-minute rapid charging on the 130 kW DC max.

And it isn’t just the wide selection of battery and drivetrains which are making this car one of the best SUVs to lease in 2022 and 2023, the specification choice is also something to applaud. The product suite includes:

• Advance – includes 19” alloys, hands-free  power tailgate, LED front and rear lights, heated steering wheel, heated front seats, heated windscreen, power driver/passenger seats, 12.2” screens, wireless phone charger, Apple CarPlay, Around View monitor, intelligent key, ProPilot navigation, heat pump and both a Mode 2 and Mode 3 cable for charging; and
• Evolve - includes 20” alloys, adaptive driving beam, panoramic sunroof, 8-way seats, memory seats, power mirrors, memory intelligent key, HUD, ProPilot park and advanced windscreen.

Options to add include nappa leather, sports pack (20” alloys and leather), sky pack and Bose Tech pack.

With Nissan set to be competing against the Skoda Enyaq, Ford Mustang Mach-e and the Genesis GV60, customers looking into their new EV need to make decisions well  in advance of delivery. How long does it take to get an electric car?  Because of COVID and microchip/parts shortages, many lead times are in excess of six months. It is unlikely that any EV will be in stock or on offer for an ASAP delivery.

For our business and personal leasing customers we recommend that if you have 6 months remaining on your existing contract, you should be placing your order on the new Nissan Ariya to avoid delays and disappointment. Manufacturing process and timings have altered dramatically and with a shortage of hire companies using EVs, it’s of the utmost importance to be organised.

Ready to place an order on the Nissan Ariya? At e-car lease we offer any make, model and variant of new electrics. This means we can not only arrange your order of the new Ariya crossover, but we can tailor a contract hire package to suit you, or the fleet, in the quickest time possible. Select from a term of 2, 3 or 4 years, annual mileages between 5,000 – 20,000, varied initial rentals (including no deposit options) and select to include maintenance or self-maintain.

With maintenance you can add all the servicing, maintenance and tyres cost provisions for an additional monthly fee. This is how we create complete piece of mind and cost-certainty for our leasing customers.
