Here's Why The Nissan Ariya Had To Die In The U.S.

• Nissan is pausing Ariya production for the U.S. market for the 2026 model year.
• The imported Ariya was already too expensive, and now with tariffs in place and a federal emissions rollback, there's no reason to keep it around.
• Nissan says cutting out the Ariya will help it focus on launching the new Leaf, which is a much more compelling EV.
