The Nissan Ariya is dead, at least in the North American market.
The Ariya won’t be sold in the U.S. for the 2026 model year. Why? Well, blame the 15 percent tariff that the Trump administration is slapping on the Japan-built Ariya. Blame the expiring EV tax credit. Blame increased competition in the segment. Blame the $41,265 starting price and what happens after the tariff is factored in. Blame Nissan itself for launching the third-generation Leaf at a lower price.
Also, blame some supply-chain woes.
Support for current Ariya owners will continue, says Nissan. And it could return in the future, if the market conditions make sense.
