Nissan is already sweetening the deal on its newest Ariya EV with its latest promotion. The 2025 Nissan Ariya starts at under $40,000, but with incentives, how does it compare to other electric SUVs? Here’s a breakdown.
What incentives does Nissan offer for the 2025 Ariya?
After unveiling the 2025 Ariya less than two weeks ago, Nissan is already giving buyers new ways to save. Although the electric SUV gained several upgrades, including a wireless charging pad, prices still start at just $39,770
The 2025 Nissan Ariya has two battery options: 66 or 91 kWh. The smaller (66 kWh) battery pack provides a range of up to 216 miles, while the larger (91 kWh) battery provides an EPA-estimated driving range of up to 289 miles.
Nissan also offers single (FWD) and dual-motor powertrain options. Powered by Nissan’s e4ORCE AWD system, dual motor models feature up to 389 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque.
Inside, the Ariya includes Nissan’s new Advanced Drive-Assist display. The system consists of dual 12.3″ infotainment and driver display screens in a “wave-like” design for easy viewing. Unlike many competitors, the 2025 Ariya still includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support.
All trims now include a standard wireless phone charging pad, a Head-up display, and a Virtual Personal Assistant.
As an added bonus, Nissan EV drivers now have access to over 100,000 public charging stations, including 17,800 Tesla Superchargers.
Despite its already low starting price, Nissan introduced new incentives to make the 2025 Ariya even more attractive. Online auto intelligence firm CarsDirect reported that the company recently sent dealers a memo informing them of a new $1,000 loyalty cash bonus.
The promotion ends on January 6, 2025, and is for current Nissan and Infiniti owners who want to upgrade to the latest Ariya model year. It’s available on new leases and purchases.

2025 Nissan Ariya prices and range by trim (*not including a $1,390 destination fee)
With the new promo, the 2025 Ariya is now available at the same rate as Nissan’s first EV, the LEAF, at 2.19% APR for 36 months. Or, you can opt for the 3.19% for 60 months option.
The incentive brings 2025 Ariya prices closer to those of other electric SUVs on the market. Several rivals, like the 2025 Toyota bZ4X, are already cheaper, starting at $37,070. The 2025 Subaru Solterra ($38,495) and the Ford Mustang Mach-E ($38,490) also have lower price tags. Others, like the Volkswagen ID.4, are about the same price.
Nissan’s electric SUV also goes up against Tesla’s top-selling Model Y, starting at $44,990. However, the base Model Y RWD offers up to 337 miles range, compared to the Ariya lowest-priced Ariya with 216 miles range.
For $44,370, the 2025 Nissan Ariya Evolve+ FWD model has a range of up to 289 miles, but is it worth paying $620 more for the Model Y?
Even the Honda Prologue, which was the third-best-selling EV in the US last month, maybe a better deal. Despite its $47,400 starting price, Honda is offering up to $6,000 off and 0% financing on the Prologue through its year-end sales promo.
Many competitors, including Toyota and Subaru, significantly lowered starting prices on the 2025 model year. You can even find several EVs for lease for under $300 a month right now. Nissan’s new promo should help it compete in an increasingly crowded segment.

Honda’s electric SUV is taking the US by storm. After another record month in December, Honda Prologue sales in the US reached over 33,000 in total in 2024.
Honda Prologue US sales reach over 33,000 in 2024
Honda set new SUV, hybrid, and EV sales records in the US in 2024. Its first electric SUV, the Prologue, is already significantly impacting brand sales.
With 7,885 Prologue models sold in December, Honda topped its record of around 6,800 set in November. The growth was enough to push total sales to over 33,000 in total in 2024. That’s after Honda began deliveries in March 2024.
During the second half of the year, Honda sold an average of over 5,000 Prologues per month. In November, the electric SUV was the third-top-selling EV in the US, behind only the Tesla Model Y and Model 3.
With nearly 7,900 units sold in December, Honda’s Prologue remained a top seller. Honda’s electric SUV outsold the Hyundai IONIQ 5 with 4,595 units sold. However, the IONIQ 5 remained on top in 2024, with 44,400 models sold.
Ford doesn’t report monthly sales, but with 51,745 models sold last year, the Mach-E was the second best-selling electric SUV behind Tesla’s Model Y.
After the Mach-E had its best sales quarter with 16,119 in Q4, it will be interesting to see where the rankings stand when EV registration data is released.
Honda’s luxury Acura brand also set a new US sales record in December. With another 1,848 units sold last month, Acura ZDX sales totaled 7,391 last year.
Powered by GM’s Ultium platform, the same one that underpins new Chevy, Cadillac, and GMC EVs, Honda’s Prologue has a driving range of up to 296 miles.
Although based on the same platform, Honda fine-tuned the electric SUV with its own signature design, features, and drive. An added multi-link front and rear suspension gives the Prologue that “sporty” feel when driving. It also features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, something GM has moved away from.

Jackery New Year savings drops Explorer 2000 v2 solar generator bundle to new $1,499 low
Jackery’s New Year sale has kicked off its 2025 savings through January 10, with up to $3,300 being taken off its backup power solutions – with some models/bundles even undercutting its Black Friday pricing at new lows. One of these is the new Explorer 2000 v2 Portable Power Station that is coming bundled alongside two 200W solar panels for $1,499 shipped, after clipping the on-page $1,000 off coupon. This solar generator package has been keeping to $2,499 outside of sales, with Black Friday seeing the biggest price cut to $1,599 over 2023. That rate is getting beaten out here by $100, giving you a new all-time low to start the year off with a savings bang. You can also score the power station on its own for $999, after clipping the on-page $500 off coupon.
Jackery’s latest on-the-go backup solution, the Explorer 2000 v2 has been given exclusive CBT tech and a honeycomb build that the brand boasts as “the smallest, lightest home backup power,” providing 2,200W output power surging up to 4,400W to cover devices and appliances alike. It sports a 2,042Wh LiFePo4 battery capacity that dishes out the juice through seven ports. It’s also one of the three latest models that come with the next-generation ChargeShield 2.0 for 62 forms of protection while charging – especially during storms, outages, and so on.
The station’s battery can be recharged in one of four ways, the fastest of which is via a wall outlet that refills 80% of the battery in about 66+ minutes – plus, for last-minute charging, you can activate its supercharge feature to reach a full battery in 102+ minutes. You can also plug it directly to your car’s auxiliary port to recharge to full in 24 hours, or with the two included panels you can get a charge from the sun in 5.5 hours. A notable addition to its systems is the silent charging mode for when you’ve plugged it in for nighttime use or recharging, as it keeps under 30dB so you or anyone else trying to rest won’t be disturbed.

Rad Power starts 2025 with free extra battery and sports rack e-bike bundles – deals start from $1,399
Rad Power has launched its first sale of 2025 through January 15, with one e-bike seeing a $200 discount and four others (including two new models) following in the fashion of Lectric with free gear worth up to $500 – either the brand’s Hollywood Sports Rack or free extra batteries – accompanying your e-bike purchase. You’ll find the brand’s RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike getting one of the free bonus batteries at $1,599 shipped. We’ve been seeing this model benefitting from up to $400 discounts since October, which is when we last saw it down at its $1,199 low, but this sale seems to be taking the alternative route with savings coming in the form of the free gear, taking $499 off the $2,098 price tag this bundle would normally fetch. Just add the e-bike and its corresponding battery to your cart and the discount will be automatically applied.
Coming in as the brand’s most popular storage-saving model, the RadExpand 5 e-bike sports a folding frame that cuts down its size when not in use to fit within closets, car trunks, RVs, and more. The paired 750W brushless geared hub motor and 672Wh battery top out at 20 MPH speeds with a travel range of 45+ miles normally, but with the extra battery you’ll get 90+ miles. Of course, these higher mileages are possible when utilizing the four pedal assistance levels, with a throttle for pure electric riding at a decreased range.
Among its additional features, you’ll have a 7-speed MicroShift derailleur, a standard LED headlight alongside an integrated taillight that offers brake light functionality, both of which automatically activate when daylight drops low enough. You’ll also get some cargo-hauling support from the integrated rear rack with a 55-pound limit, as well as fenders to go over both wheels, a water-resistant wiring harness, and an LED display.
Segway’s New Year sale drops the Ninebot Max G30P kickscooter with a 40-mile range back at $600 low
Segway is ringing in the new year with an all-new sale through January 5 that is taking up to 40% off its EVs, with some even beating out their Christmas pricing to return to Black Friday/Cyber Monday rates. One such model is the Ninebot Max G30P KickScooter for $599.99 shipped. It usually carries a full $1,000 price tag outside of sales, with the lowest rate we saw it drop to in the last year being $600 during Black Friday. It sat at a much higher $800 during the Christmas season, but you’re getting another shot at Black Friday/Cyber Monday pricing here at 40% off for the lowest price we have tracked, saving you $400. You’ll also find it matching over at Amazon for the time being.
The Ninebot G30P kickscooter is the perfect commuter for folks going long-distance or those wanting to not worry about charging once you’ve arrived at your out-of-home destination. The 350W motor and 36V battery provide top speeds of 18.6 MPH with a travel distance of 40 miles and can easily tackle up to 20% inclines. It comes with the expected folding frame and companion app support alongside other features like an LED display, cruise control, mechanical and electrical anti-lock brakes, front and rear shock absorbers, and even 10-inch self-sealing tubeless tires. On top of all it can do while riding, it also weighs in at just 38.6 pounds, making it easy to carry up stairs and through doors when not in use.

Amazon drops Greenworks 80V 580 CFM cordless electric axial leaf blower to new $170 low
Amazon is offering the Greenworks 80V 580 CFM Cordless Electric Axial Leaf Blower for $169.99 shipped. Most of 2024 saw this model keeping between $252 and its $270 MSRP, with it recently keeping down around $230 with the holiday savings. Most discounts over the year dropped costs to $216, though we did spy two falls lower to $207 and $191. Today, the price is getting cut down with a $100 markdown from its full rate, not only giving you the lowest price of the last year but also a new all-time low overall.
While winter may be in full swing, halting many lawncare routines for the time being, it’s also one of the best times to start prepping for spring as prices are brought down on tools and equipment like this axial leaf blower from Greenworks. Its brushless motor delivers up to 580 CFM of air flow that reaches 145 MPH, controlled via the variable speed trigger and even featuring a cruise control functionality. It’s been designed to be “20% lighter than comparable gas blowers,” which pairs with its comfort grip for easier handling – plus, you won’t have to deal with the hassle of stubborn pull cords, gas fumes, and noise anymore. And for folks already building a Greenworks arsenal, the 2.5Ah battery comes interchangeable with over 75 of the brand’s other tool systems, including larger batteries.
The savings this week are also continuing to a collection of other markdowns. To the same tune as the offers above, these all help you take a more energy-conscious approach to your routine. Winter means you can lock in even better off-season price cuts on electric tools for the lawn while saving on EVs and tons of other gear.
