The 2023 Nissan Ariya is one of the most important models in the company’s “A-to-Z” rejuvenation. Following the Leaf as the company’s second all-electric offering, the Ariya can drive an impressive 304 miles in front-drive form. But I found myself grateful to be piloting a dual-motor Ariya during California’s recent deluge of rain, and the confusingly named e-4ORCE system felt well worth the drop in range – to a still-impressive 272 miles.
