2026 Nissan Ariya e-Force review: Performance Test (0-100). The Nissan Ariya is the brand's flagship electric SUV in Australia, sitting above the LEAF as a more premium, family-focused offering. Available with either front- or all-wheel drive and a choice of battery sizes, it aims to blend the quiet refinement expected of an EV with the comfort and practicality buyers want from a medium SUV. It's also the quickest Nissan SUV in the current showroom. It takes on the likes of the Tesla Model Y, Kia EV5, Hyundai IONIQ 5 and Toyota bZ4X. For more details, our written review will be up on our website soon. Stay tuned: https://drivingenthusiast.com.au/category/nissan/nissan-reviews/
