To move stock, Nissan is now offering some of its sharpest discounts and finance deals yet. Here is what is available and how the Ariya compares to the rest of the segment.

How the Ariya is selling
The medium EV SUV segment is the most competitive in Australia. The Ariya launched in September 2025 but has struggled to gain traction. With 104 units sold in the first four months of 2026, it sits at the bottom of the medium SUV segment.
The Tesla Model Y leads the segment with 6,719 units. The BYD Sealion 7 is close behind with 6,248. The Ariya's 104 units puts it at the bottom of the table. Sales did pick up in April (53 units), which is a positive sign, but the gap to the leaders is significant.

Latest Month (April 2026)Is the Ariya worth buying now?
While the Engage sits at the bottom of the Ariya range, it does have its strengths. The Ariya is a well-built EV with a clean interior, 10-year warranty and supported by Nissan’s expansive distribution and service network. At $53,990 driveaway the Ariya presents a compelling alternative to options from BYD, Zeekr, and Geely which are selling in much higher volumes at competitive prices. If you are already a Nissan owner or want a Japanese-brand EV with a strong warranty, the Ariya with these offers is worth a look.

A 1% finance rate for existing Nissan owners is one of the lowest available on any EV in Australia right now. The free home charger is a nice bonus, though installation is at your own cost.
