The Nissan Airya has been given a facelift, which makes it look more like the new Leaf crossover. It also gains vehicle-to-load (V2L) bidirectional charging and a brand-new Google-powered infotainment system. The hot Nismo version of the Ariya will continue to be sold with the pre-facelift design, but it gets the other improvements. The Nissa Ariya was never a bad EV, but the manufacturer deemed that it was not good enough to remain on sale in the U.S.
Modern facelift techniques have evolved, becoming subtler and more desirable. Procedures like concealed incisions and non-surgical facelifts increase collagen and skin firmness.
