New Nissan ARIYA shortlisted for Car of the Year 2023, as electric models reign supreme

At Arbury, we were delighted to see the New Nissan ARIYA included on the Car of the Year 2023 shortlist. This exciting news saw the all-electric coupé crossover triumph over a highly competitive list of models to make the final cut, among six others.

It follows a successful inaugural year on the awards scene for this innovative model, which was named a double winner at the 2022 Auto Express Awards, securing both the ‘Best Mid-Sized Company Car’ trophy and the coveted overall ‘Car of the Year’ title.

The Car of the Year 2023 winner will be named at the Brussels Motor Show on 13th January 2023, with the voting jury consisting of 58 senior motoring journalists from 22 countries. The other competing cars are the Jeep Avenger, Kia Niro, PEUGEOT 408, Renault Austral, Subaru Solterra/Toyota bZ4X and Volkswagen ID Buzz.

In a sign of the times, five of the shortlisted seven cars are electric – including the ARIYA. Drawing on Nissan’s leadership in electrification, this coupé crossover EV reimagines zero-emissions driving with driver-friendly technology that helps you stay boldly ahead of the curve. It also boasts up to 329 miles of range and can rapid-charge in around 30 minutes.

Staying true to Nissan's heritage of producing fun-to-drive, exciting cars, the ARIYA offers powerful acceleration, a smooth drive and exceptional handling. Choose between two- or all-wheel drive with e-4ORCE technology, which delivers the perfect balance between power and control, no matter the conditions.

Its futuristic design instantly makes an impression – with its smooth lines, commanding silhouette and light-up Nissan badge that welcomes you to the car. New thin LED headlamps shine at night, then disappear during the day. Finally, step inside to be welcomed by a refreshingly open, lounge-like cabin that’s packed with useful tech – helping you enjoy every second!

Stay tuned for the Car of the Year 2023 winner announcement in January – and if you’re looking for an electrifying crossover that will make a statement wherever you take it, look no further than the New Nissan ARIYA with Arbury!
