Above it and also offering two-wheel-drive, the £51,090 Evolve spec offers a more powerful motor and larger battery. Its 87kWh battery will give up to 310 miles on a charge - the longest of any Ariya variant. The motor’s output is increased to 239bhp, but the increased weight of the battery means it is actually 0.1 seconds slower to 62mph, at 7.6 seconds.
Two four-wheel-drive versions also use the 87kWh battery but mate it to twin motors. In the e-4ORCE Evolve, priced from £53,790, output is capped at 302bhp and 442lb ft, giving the car a 0-62mph time of 5.7 seconds and a maximum range of 285 miles.
At the top of the range, the £58,440 e-4ORCE Performance also offers 442lb ft but gets 387bhp from the two motors, good for a 0-62mph time of just 5.1 seconds. It will offer up to 248 miles on a single charge.
