Nissan’s Game-Changing ARIYA: Welcome to Electric Heaven
featured image 1
Nissan is not just dipping its toes into the electric waters; it’s making a full-fledged cannonball with its expansive Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) Dealer Network. With over 90 dealer outlets scattered across Australia and plans to add even more in the blink of an eye, Nissan is gearing up for the highly anticipated launch of the ARIYA. And guess what? Their dealers are already prepped and polished, adhering to the Japanese brand’s rigorous standards as if they were training for a marathon.
The Pursuit of Customer Satisfaction
Picture this: each member of Nissan’s BEV Network is expertise personified, courtesy of continuous training and relentless commitment to keeping abreast of all things electric. These dealers don’t just have the know-how; they’re also equipped with charging infrastructure that would make any electric fan swoon. Add to that a generous supply of Genuine Nissan replacement parts and accessories, and you’ve got a recipe for exceptional service that even the pickiest of customers will appreciate.
Ben Hamilton, the big cheese of Sales & Dealer Network Development at Nissan Oceania, has his eyes gleaming with optimism. He assures us that despite ARIYA being a fresh face for Australians, their passion for unmatched customer service hasn’t aged a day. After all, what’s the point of an electric vehicle if you don’t have a team eager to support you anywhere across this sunburnt country?
Fast Charging and Value-Added Knack
Now onto the thrilling part: the ARIYA has been cleverly engineered to change the game in home charging. The top-tier ARIYA Evolve is equipped with a three-phase on-board charger as standard, getting you recharged and back on the road far quicker than a traditional charger could ever dream of. And just to sweeten the deal for the launch in September, Nissan will gift a three-phase on-board charger upgrade—worth a whopping $3,000—to a select number of customers who purchase an Engage, Advance or Advance+ ARIYA while stocks last.
But that’s not all; customers are also in for a treat with a complimentary Autel Maxicharger 22kW AC home charger worth $1,479. Yes, you heard that right! Just imagine sauntering home after a long day, plugging in your ARIYA, and knowing you’re back to full charge in a mere 3.5 to 4.5 hours—depending on the battery size, of course. That’s a far cry from those long, tiresome nights waiting for a traditional charger to do its thing.
Peace of Mind, Wrapped Up Tight
Let’s talk about warranties, shall we? Nissan has pulled out all the stops with an impressive 10-year, 300,000 km warranty when serviced at authorised dealers—nothing says peace of mind quite like that. And to top it all off, this warranty includes a five-year flat price servicing and up to ten years of roadside assistance. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more reassuring guarantee in the tumultuous world of electric vehicles.
All ARIYA models are also backed by Nissan’s Lithium-Ion Battery Capacity Warranty, meaning that if your battery starts losing its charm—hovering below the nine-bar mark on the capacity gauge—you’re covered for a full eight years or 160,000 km. Now that’s a promise you can take to the bank.
Nissan is clearly rolling out the red carpet for its ARIYA customers, making the shift to electric not just feasible, but downright inviting. So, prepare yourselves for an exhilarating ride into the future of driving; it’s looking electric!
