What to watch
Ownership notes before you buy
- This trim keeps the 87 kWh battery but uses slower AC charging hardware than the 22 kW Ariya, so it is a better fit for single-phase home charging than for buyers relying on high-power destination AC.
- The range number is an official WLTP planning anchor, not a guarantee for sustained high-speed motorway driving.
- DC charging remains credible but not class-leading, so repeated long motorway days are less effortless than in the latest 200–350 kW class rivals.

Nissan Ariya 87 kWh 7kWCh vs Nissan Ariya 87 kWh 22kWCh
These two Ariya variants share the same headline battery size and DC charging ceiling, but the ownership feel changes if you rely on destination AC: the 22 kW car can meaningfully shorten workplace and three-phase wallbox sessions, while the 7 kW car is the more straightforward overnight-at-home ownership brief.
Verdict: Choose the 22 kW Ariya if you will regularly use workplace or destination AC and want shorter AC sessions; choose the 7 kW Ariya if your charging is mostly overnight at home and you want the same battery without paying for the higher AC hardware.
