Nissan Showcases 2023 Ariya Electric Crossover, 2022 Rouge and 2023 Z at LA Auto Show
The 2023 Nissan Ariya electric crossover has taken center stage at the manufacturer’s lineup at the Los Angeles Auto Show, accompanied by the 2022 Rogue, 2023 Z and other Nissan namesakes. The Ariya model will feature four trims at launch, expected around fall 2022. All levels will be equipped with a liquid-cooled 87 kWh lithium-ion battery, a CCS quick charge port and Nissan’s ProPILOT Assist 2.0.
The starting model is the Ariya Venture+, a front-wheel drive variant with up to 300 miles of range, with base pricing of $45,950 before destination fees. Other trims include the all-wheel drive Platinum+ with a starting MSRP of $58,950 and a limited launch edition, the Premiere, starting at $53,450. Nissan is currently accepting reservations for the 2023 Ariya.
Joining the Ariya is the 2022 Rogue compact crossover. For the 2022 model year, the Rogue gains an all-new 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and refined transmission. Together, the Rogue’s fuel economy is 33 mpg combined, 3 mpg’s better than the 2021 model year.
The highly-anticipated 2023 Nissan Z makes an appearance, too, along with the 2022 Pathfinder SUV and Frontier midsize pickup. The Z pays homage to the original 240Z, with a long hood, low rear stance and driver-centric cockpit. Every Z will come standard with a 400-horsepower 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 and a 6-speed manual transmission. A 9-speed automatic is also available. It is expected to go on sale in spring 2022.
The 2022 Pathfinder, on the other hand, is on sale now at US dealers. It was redesigned from the ground-up for the 2022 model year, inspired by the original 1987 Pathfinder. For the first time in Pathfinder history, the interior has room for 8 passengers.
The 2022 Frontier is also new and available now, with a fresh look and “adventure-oriented interior.” Highlighted alongside the rugged exterior is the added driver assistance features and connectivity options on the interior. It can be configured in a variety of body, drivetrain and equipment configurations.
