Signed: 2023 Nissan Ariya Evolve+ AWD "No Loyalty" Deal & Review [NNJ Only]

Let me check Your post.
TIA

Updated offer for a Evo+ AWD deal: 275/mo $1800 DAS.

This extra $1000 throws everything off. My dealer dropping the price by about $1000 but did not say why. Playing it off as “extra discount”

If they got to your price, what difference does it make if it’s coming out of Nissan’s pocket or the dealer’s?

They did not get to my target price and if the manufacturer, mid-month, starts to offer more rebates it changes what the target price should be. They could be anywhere from $750 to $1750 above my target if this new incentive is true.

I am in Southern NJ and just starting to hit up some dealers here for Ariya leases. Reading through this thread any other tips/tricks I should be looking out for?

I like to put as little down as possible in a lease so if follow z0lt3c’s model, if I just put down the first months, I should be in the $350 range?

Learn how to use the LH calc.

Below is my latest calculator for Evo+ AWD trim at $56,300 MSRP. This is a 7.55% deal with the base MF and a total of $12,355 in rebates as follows:

  • $7,500 NMAC Lease Cash
  • $2,855 18-month Ariya Lease Cash
  • $1,000 EV Bonus Cash
  • $1,000 Select Inventory Bonus Cash

This most likely includes the rumored mid-month bonus cash as part of the discount. Note that many dealers are playing games with the rebates, to make the discount seem inflated. Case in point, this dealer is presenting this deal as $11,355 in rebates with a 9.3% discount. This does not include loyalty.

Thanks for the info. This would be my first EV and I think an 18 month lease would be perfect as if I just have concerns, I am not tied to the car for too long. But with the rebates and low payment, tying in PSEG’s $1500 rebate to install an EV charger, now seems like the time to make a move.

Signed! Here is the final calculator, reflecting the rebates and discount as presented by the dealer. In addition to the EVGO account, Ariya also comes with a voucher for a free wall box connector. Did I leave $$ on the table? Yes. I didn’t feel the need to grind the deal any further. I would not be surprised to see a deal $1000 cheaper.

Where is this? Anywhere near Syracuse?

This is is available if anyone interested. Not far from Syracuse.

I’d do it tonight if it was real. Doesn’t make sense how PA residents get quoted $600/m while NJ or NY which is an hour from me is half the price. I’m only seeing an extra few thousand in rebates or no tax in NJ. The numbers don’t add up to make the monthly half.

Just spoke to a MD dealer who had a color combo I wanted. Was quoted $550/m at 36/10k.

An extra few thousand makes a big difference when it’s only 18 months. $3,865/18 = $215/mo, not including the rent charge savings on a lower cap cost.

This morning I took delivery of a new 2023 Nissan Ariya Evolve+ AWD and immediately embarked on a 360-mile trip from PA to NJ to VT.

What I like about the Ariya.

Super smooth, comfortable ride.
Good power at highway speeds and good grip in wet conditions.
A very functional and modern interior. Looks sharp.
A real sunroof that opens and closes.
ProAssist (basic) is fantastic. No eye monitoring.
The hidden middle console (snack draw) is alot of fun.
Teenager had no complaints with second row.
Fit all our gear, but just barely.
Very east to drive w/o jerkyness. Can glide intuitively.
Good regenerative braking / one-pedal performance with e-stop plus and B mode
Lots of places to store and charge phones.
Virtual analog gauge dashboard meter view is pretty cool looking.
Walk away lock and open with proximity work well.

What I didn’t like about the Ariya:

Battery melting range loss when driven aggressively.
aka The only way to get the range is to drive 60mph.
aka Range is BS. My efficiency average was 2.7 miles/kw
aka I only got 174 miles from 15% to 85%
Disappointing DCFC speed. Got 90K at Albany EA, 40 mins to get from 15% to 83%
Not the best software and UI. Very hard to plan routes w/ Nissan system.
Narrow seats, not enough lumbar or thigh support
OEM Dunlop tires are loud. Cabin needs more sound dampening.
Behavior of brake pedal is odd. Close pedals.
No phone as key, app is pretty basic overall.

Overall, it’s a serious contender against the Model Y. It gets right many of the things that bother first time EV drivers and would be great where range under 200 miles is sufficient. I also looked at VW ID.4 Pro AWD, and the fit and finish of the Nissan was much better. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 or Ioniq 6 are both probably better EVs, but the style of the Hyundai’s is difficult for some. It has no business being compared to a BMW IX, the experience is worlds apart, and even an I4 is a punching class above it. In the end, I think it’s a good value in the $300/mo range, or less, especially on a short-term lease, a price point which the Model Y cannot compete.

Also, the free wallbox connector is for real. Here is my pricing for the Pulsar Plus 48A.

Now if only ChargeUp NJ was funded this month. These would be flying off the shelves.

Thanks for the datapoints and motivation. Was able to sign on two similar deals in the northeast.

Got an Evolve for $236/m sign and drive and a Platinum+ for $220/m.
