Four all-wheel-drive Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE versions recently emerged on the EPA's website, joining the three front-wheel-drive versions listed previously.
There are no new range numbers, as those were already provided by Nissan, but now we can take a look at all fo the types side-by-side and check some details.
The base Nissan Ariya, with a 66-kilowatt-hour battery, has an EPA Combined range of 216 miles. That decreases by 11 miles or five percent to 205 miles, if one selects the all-wheel-drive e-4ORCE dual-motor powertrain.
In the case of the 91-kWh battery pack, the range of FWD versions is 289-304 miles. The switch to AWD cuts it to 272 miles, so about 17 miles or almost six percent (when comparing the same Evolve+ trim).
There is also the top-of-the-line trim, named Platinum+, which is rated for standard 19-inch or optional 20-inch wheels. Its range is respectively 267 miles and 257 miles (a 3.7 percent drop just because of the bigger wheels).
Energy consumption, including charging losses, of the Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE is about several percent higher than in the case of the corresponding FWD trim.
Specifically, the Ariya Engage e-4ORCE (66 kWh)'s energy consumption is estimated at 95 MPGe: 355 watt-hours per mile.
An Engage+ version, with a 91-kWh battery, was rated at 92 MPGe: 366 Wh/mi, indicating about a three percent worse result due to increased weight (the same trim level and motors).
