ANCAP Safety
Tested
2022

The Nissan Ariya was introduced in New Zealand in November 2024 and Australia in September 2025. This ANCAP safety rating applies to all variants.

Dual frontal, side chest-protecting and side head-protecting (curtain) airbags are standard. A centre airbag which provides added protection to front seat occupants in side impact crashes is also standard.

Autonomous emergency braking (Car to Car, Vulnerable Road User, Junction Assist and Backover) as well as a lane support system with lane keep assist (LKA), lane departure warning (LDW) and emergency lane keeping (ELK), and an advanced speed assistance system (SAS) are standard equipment.

A full list of safety features and technologies can be viewed within the Technical Report (see download link).

Installation of child restraints in the centre seat of the second row of New Zealand vehicles is not recommended as there is no top tether anchorage for this position.
