2023 Model Redesign Year

The Ariya is quick, quiet, and roomy, and has a decent driving range. But its EV tech is weak, with a 7.2-kilowatt onboard charger that adds only about 20 miles of range per hour at home; DC fast charging is below average as well. Unplugging the charger is a frustrating process because the port is not intuitively linked to the car's central locking system. Both front- and all-wheel-drive versions come with either a 63-kilowatt-hour battery or a longer-range 87-kWh one. We covered a decent 253 miles with the larger battery in our highway-range test. Acceleration is plentiful and quiet, but the ride is stiff and handling is unremarkable.

The front seats are supportive, but the driving position is hampered by a buslike steering wheel angle. The buttons that are neatly embedded into matte wood trim are difficult to use. At least the rear seat is roomy and comfy.
