Nissan Ariya (91 kWh) In Cold Weather Still Gets Decent Range

Bjørn Nyland continues his systematic tests of the Nissan Ariya in Norway, where winter has finally arrived, bringing temperatures down to around 0°C (32°F).

In the latest episode, the Nissan Ariya with a 91 kWh battery (87 kWh usable) and front-wheel drive was tested at a temperature of 1°C, which allows us to compare the results with the previous test at 8-10°C.

According to the video, energy consumption at 90 km/h (56 mph) amounted to 194 Wh/km (312 Wh/mile), while the range is estimated at 412 km (256 miles), assuming 79.9 kWh of usable battery until near 0% state-of-charge.

At 120 km/h (75 mph), the energy consumption increased to 274 Wh/km (441 Wh/mile), while the range decreased to 292 km (181 miles).

2022 Nissan Ariya (FWD, 91 kWh): 1°C

Results at 90 km/h (56 mph)

• range of 412 km (256 miles)
• energy consumption of 194 Wh/km (312 Wh/mile)
• used battery capacity: 79.9 kWh (estimated)
• temperature of 1°C
• 19" Continental VC7 (235/55-19)

Results at 120 km/h (75 mph); up 33% compared to 90 km/h:

• range of 292 km (181 miles); down 29%
• energy consumption of 274 Wh/km (441 Wh/mile); up 41%
• used battery capacity: 79.9 kWh (estimated)
• temperature of 1°C
• 19" Continental VC7 (235/55-19)

In comparison with the previous test at 8-10°C, energy consumption at 90 km/h (56 mph) is higher (and range is lower) by about 8%.

At 120 km/h (75 mph), energy consumption increased by 6%, while range decreased by 5%.

It's a noticeable change, but we can't assign it solely to the lower temperature, because this time the car was also equipped with winter tires - 19" Continental VC7 (235/55-19), compared to 20" Michelin Primacy 4 (255/40-20) summer tires.

Another finding is that even on wet roads and with winter tires, the Nissan Ariya remains very quiet inside.
