It's longer on the outside, but roughly the same on the inside (which is where it counts). Well actually, the Bolt has about 15% MORE cargo volume than the Ariya.
The low end Model 3 has roughly the same range as the base model Ariya, despite having a battery pack that is 9kwh smaller(at least according the the specs released by nissan). Other than the looks (which I admit, I like the looks of the Ariya) it doesn't really seem to have anything to offer that isn't already available.
