Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE Versions Officially Listed By The EPA: Range, Efficiency

Four all-wheel-drive Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE versions recently emerged on the EPA’s website, joining the three front-wheel-drive versions listed previously.

There are no new range numbers, as those were already provided by Nissan, but now we can take a look at all fo the types side-by-side and check some details.

The base Nissan Ariya, with a 66-kilowatt-hour battery, has an EPA Combined range of 216 miles. That decreases by 11 miles or five percent to 205 miles, if one selects the all-wheel-drive e-4ORCE dual-motor powertrain.

In the case of the 91-kWh battery pack, the range of FWD versions is 289-304 miles. The switch to AWD cuts it to 272 miles, so about 17 miles or almost six percent (when comparing the same Evolve+ trim).

There is also the top-of-the-line trim, named Platinum+, which is rated for standard 19-inch or optional 20-inch wheels. Its range is respectively 267 miles and 257 miles (a 3.7 percent drop just because of the bigger wheels).

Energy consumption, including charging losses, of the Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE is about several percent higher than in the case of the corresponding FWD trim.

Specifically, the Ariya Engage e-4ORCE (66 kWh)’s energy consumption is estimated at 95 MPGe: 355 watt-hours per mile.

An Engage+ version, with a 91-kWh battery, was rated at 92 MPGe: 366 Wh/mi, indicating about a three percent worse result due to increased weight (the same trim level and motors).

As prices and other specs remain the same, we will leave you with the core numbers below.

* federal tax credit of up to $7,500 might be available through leasing.

* total battery pack according to Nissan (usable capacity is respectively 63 or 87 kWh).
