What to watch

Ownership notes before you buy

  • The 528 km figure here is a direct conversion from Nissan UK's 328-mile official range figure, so it should be treated as a planning anchor rather than a like-for-like motorway guarantee.
  • The sloping crossover-coupe shape makes the Ariya feel more design-led than a boxier family EV, but it gives away some upright-cabin pragmatism versus plainer rivals.

Nissan Ariya vs Hyundai IONIQ 5

The Ariya 87 kWh makes the stronger case if you value long-range family comfort and unusually strong 22 kW AC charging support, while the IONIQ 5 remains the clearer pick if your road-trip brief depends on consistently finding high-power DC chargers and you want the sharper 800-volt charging platform story.

Verdict: Choose the Ariya if you prioritise calmer family-EV comfort and strong home/destination AC charging; choose the IONIQ 5 if your purchase brief is built around faster DC road-trip recovery.
