Nissan Ariya electric SUV withheld from New Zealand, still coming to Australia

AutoExec Summary
The launch of the Nissan Ariya electric SUV has been delayed in New Zealand due to changes in the electric car market, but the Australian launch remains unaffected. Nissan has decided to hold the launch in New Zealand due to market volatility, with plans to announce further details later. The Ariya is still scheduled to launch in Australia soon, with pricing and variants already confirmed for New Zealand. Renault also cancelled the launch of the Megane E-Tech in New Zealand due to changes in clean-car rebates. Nissan imported a small number of Ariyas into New Zealand for demonstration purposes, but there will be no saleable units for consumers. The share of electric vehicle sales in New Zealand has decreased, while the timing for the Ariya’s release in Australia is uncertain due to homologation processes.

Brands mentioned: Nissan, Renault, Honda, Tesla, BYD, Mitsubishi
