Record summary
What to know first
Engage is the only Ariya trim with the smaller 63-kWh battery; the '+' trims carry the long-range 87-kWh pack, and e-4ORCE dual-motor AWD is standard on Engage+ and Platinum+. Nissan paused all Ariya production for the U.S. market for the 2026 model year, reallocating plant capacity to the redesigned Leaf and citing import tariffs on the Tochigi, Japan-built Ariya. There is no new-build 2026 Ariya; what remains is existing dealer inventory only, and no decision has been made on a 2027 return.
Model-year note
A 1,500 lb towing rating on select trims is confirmed across multiple sources. Nissan paused Ariya production for the U.S. market for 2026, so it is not an actively produced current-year model. Battery size and motor configuration both change across the four trims, so range and output depend on the plus designation and drive layout.
