The Advance+ is the most affordable trim with the larger 87kWh battery pack option in the Australian Nissan Ariya line-up.

Pricing for this variant starts from $63,840 before on-road costs.

As standard the Ariya Advance+ comes with 19-inch alloy wheels, a hands-free power tailgate, panoramic glass sunroof, dual 12.3-inch screens, wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto, a 10-speaker Bose sound system, a power-sliding centre console, a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, heated outboard rear seats, as well as black synthetic leather upholstery with suede inserts.

Standard safety equipment includes seven airbags, autonomous emergency braking (AEB), blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assist, lane centring, adaptive cruise control, driver attention alert, front and rear parking sensors, as well as surround-view cameras.

The Ariya Advance+ is powered by a single, front-mounted electric motor that produces 178kW and 300Nm. This is fed by an 87kWh lithium-ion battery pack with a WLTP claimed range of 504km.

A Type 2 CCS combination charge port is standard. DC charging is offered at rates up to 130kW, which would see the battery charge from 10 to 80 per cent in 40 minutes.

AC charging, on the other hand, is offered at rates up to 7.4kW as standard which would see the battery charge from 10 to 100 per cent in 12.5 hours. 22kW AC charging is offered as an optional extra, which sees this charging time drop to 4.5 hours.

Jack Quick has proven himself as one of Australia's most prolific motoring journalists since starting in the industry in 2021. He joined the CarsGuide team in 2025 after spending four years at CarExpert in various roles. Growing up on a farm in rural Victoria, Jack has been driving cars since before he could see over the wheel. He also gained plenty of experience operating heavy machinery. In fact, he currently holds a Heavy Rigid license. On the farm, Jack spent a lot of time bush-bashing in his family’s 1992 Suzuki Sierra soft-top and 1985 Holden Drover ute. This fuelled his life-long obsession with cars and was a key reason he purchased a 2020 Suzuki Jimny. This Jimny is now living out its days on the family farm and Jack currently drives a 2025 Renault Duster. You can find Jack on LinkedIn and Instagram.
