Positive Review
Had the Ariya for about six months now, after about three years with a Kia e-Niro 4+ as an intro to EV driving. It was fun but the newer version isn't, and the EV6 was big and clunky. The Ariya is a dream to drive in town and on long journeys. It is so much smoother, more comfortable and has better tech, plus chose the AWD Evolve version, so better stability and performance with added reassurance in the mud, wet, and of course occasional snow. The Ariya is only a little bigger than the Niro and about 9cm taller but internal space is a world apart, as is just about everything else. There is more body roll in corners if you push it, but for an SUV that is to be expected. Overall the only criticism I have is about the two screens, they are not Ultra HD, which is a shame, as that really would have placed this car in the pure luxury category.
Critical Review
The car part is fine, gets 300+ in the summer and 250+ in the winter. Stable ride. Heated seats and steering wheel. Electronics are counter-intuitive, require a lot of eyes-off-the road just to work the climate control. Almost every control is touch, and not very resonsive
Showing 4 of 4 reviews.
Comfortable ride, nice range. This is an excellent car. We can drive for 300 miles in the summer on one charge.
Provides good range
controls are unfriendly

Easy driving in comfort.
Software could always be better.

I have owned this car for several months drives like a car less jarring than usual SUV good acceleration get close to 310 miles per charge if you want to pass plenty of power if you like driving 80 mph this is the wrong vehicle. If you drive 65-70 you will get the range invest 500 in a home charger and stop the gas craze.so far very pleased.
