The 2023 Nissan ARIYA is one of the newest additions to our SUV lineup here at Bedford Nissan, and it’s certainly one of the most unique. Here’s a look at some of our dealers’ favorite features of this new SUV and a few of the things that should impress you when you take it for a test drive.
Electric Powertrain
The main thing that sets the Nissan ARIYA apart is its electric powertrain. This SUV doesn’t require an ounce of gasoline. Instead, it’s powered by electric motors and a battery pack that give it a driving range of up to 304 miles.
If you’re worried that this electric model won’t be as fun to drive as a conventional gasoline-powered SUV, the specs of the 2023 Nissan ARIYA should comfort you. Select trim levels offer an output of more than 380 horsepower.
Unique AWD System
The 2023 Nissan ARIYA can be equipped with the new e-4ORCE all-wheel drive system. This allows you to stay in control even in bad weather or when you’re turning a tight corner. Models equipped with this drivetrain also get an extra electric motor, so a Nissan ARIYA with all-wheel drive might be your best choice if performance is a top priority.
Modernized Cabin
The interior of the Nissan ARIYA looks almost futuristic. Buttons are gone in favor of two large screens that make it easy to access in-car technology and comfort features. This model also offers some unique extras, like a compartment meant to keep your smartphone cables nice and organized.

How to Prepare Your Nissan Car for Spring
The start of a new season can be a good time to check in on your car and its Nissan service needs. Here’s what the mechanics at Bedford Nissan suggest when drivers ask how they should prepare their vehicles for the spring.
Clean Your Car
The winter can be rough on your vehicle, so giving it a nice cleaning inside and out once the weather gets a bit nicer is always a good idea. When you clean up the exterior you can be sure that you’ve removed any road salt that could cause rust if left unchecked. The interior could also be full of dirt and other detritus from the road, so freshening it up is a step you should take this spring.

Your car might also be due for some maintenance. The start of a new season is a good time to check in on important car parts and smaller components that may need to be replaced. The list of services you might need could include:

Nissan Finance Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Taking out a new car loan is a serious obligation, so most drivers have questions about the process. The Nissan finance experts at Bedford Nissan are here to answer the most frequently asked questions they receive about how to finance a new Nissan car. Let’s take a closer look.
Is Financing Better Than Leasing?
It depends on what kind of driver you are. If you like to upgrade to a new car every few years and you’re not worried about exceeding mileage limitations, a lease might be better for you. On the other hand, financing is often a better fit for drivers who like to keep their cars for a long time or customize them with elements like aftermarket stereo systems.
Can I Finance with Poor or No Credit?
It can be difficult to take out a new car loan if you have a low credit score or if you don’t have much of a credit history. It may not be impossible to get a loan, but you won’t get terms that are as favorable as those available to drivers with better credit. You might need a co-signer, someone with good credit who will sign onto your car loan with you.
How Much Should My Down Payment Be?
No matter what, it’s likely you’ll need to put down some money when you’re financing a new Nissan car. Most drivers aim for a down payment of 10 to 20 percent of the car’s total price, but there are no hard and fast rules here. The bigger your down payment is, the less your monthly payments will be.
How Can a Car Loan Affect My Credit?
If you make your payments on time, a car loan can help you build up your credit score. However, if you are late with your payments or default on your loan, it can hurt your credit and make it harder to apply for loans in the future.

3 Signs You Need to Visit Our Nissan Service Center
Keeping up with your maintenance schedule is an essential part of car ownership. However, these issues mean it’s time to make an appointment with our Nissan service center sooner rather than later.
Strange Noises
Don’t ignore any strange sounds you hear while your engine is running. Listening for odd sounds is a great way to catch malfunctioning parts before they become a major problem, so any peculiar noises are a sign to come in for Nissan maintenance. It may be simply the sound of unusual road conditions—or it may be a loose timing belt.
Smoke or Steam
If you’ve noticed smoke emitting from under the hood or through the exhaust pipe, or steam from the front of the vehicle, it’s time for a repair. Steam comes from an overheating engine, which may indicate a problem with your cooling system. Smoke, on the other hand, suggests something like motor oil may be burning, so pull your vehicle over as soon as you can and have it towed to a service center.
Leaking Fluids
Your Nissan vehicle depends on several fluids to keep running well, from engine oil to transmission fluid. If you see a puddle under your regular parking spot, your fluid levels may be dangerously low, leading to an unlubricated engine that can damage itself quickly. If you’re not sure, try parking your vehicle in a different place than normal and keep an eye out for puddles underneath.
Trust Bedford Nissan for Service and Maintenance
Regular service is essential to keeping your Nissan vehicle running well. Visit Bedford Nissan to make sure it stays in top shape for years to come!
Top 3 Reasons to Buy a Used Nissan Car
There may be nothing like the new car smell — but buying a used Nissan car offers its own advantages beyond its interior aroma. In addition to being a great way to save money, used buyers also have access to the Nissan Certified Pre-Owned program, so you can be confident your new car will be on the road for years to come. Explore a few reasons to buy used at Bedford Nissan.
You’ll Save Money
The first reason is the most obvious: a used Nissan vehicle is cheaper than its new equivalent. But your savings don’t end with just the lower sticker price. Taxes and fees based on the value of the vehicle will be lower, and depreciation decreases the value less after the first year of use. Even your insurance may cost less, making buying used a great way to save money long after you roll off the lot.
More Models Available
In general, only the most recent lineup of Nissan vehicles are available for purchase new. If you’re looking for an older model like the 2020 Nissan Maxima, which offers a spacious interior and a powerful V6 engine, shopping used is the best option. In particular, discontinued models are only available as used vehicles.
Certified Pre-Owned Program
If you’re considering buying used but want the assurance of a like-new vehicle, consider the Nissan Certified Pre-Owned program. Each vehicle undergoes a complete 167-point inspection as well as a complete CARFAX® history report informing you of any accidents, repairs, or title changes. With a full warranty and a host of complimentary services, you can buy a Nissan Certified Pre-Owned vehicle with confidence.

Nissan Lease Terms to Familiarize Yourself With
If your dream is to always drive the newest, most advanced car on the market, then a Nissan lease may be the best way to finance your new vehicle. The vocabulary can seem dense, but once you understand these key terms, you’ll be ready to get behind of the wheel of Nissan’s latest models available at Bedford Nissan.
Financing Agreement Terms
When leasing a vehicle, the most important number is the base monthly payment. This is the total amount you will be paying each month to continue leasing, combining depreciation costs, finance charges, and any other charges. Depreciation refers to the value the vehicle will lose by being driven and is the main expense associated with leasing.
As the lessee, you will also have to pay an acquisition fee, which covers the cost of starting a lease. You may have to pay an additional mileage charge for any driving over the mileage allowance, which limits your monthly mileage. Make sure to read your lease carefully so you understand what fees you are and are not responsible for.
Types of Leases
Leases fall into two categories: open-ended and closed-ended. Closed-end leases are the simpler of the two: when your lease ends, it’s time to return your new Nissan vehicle to the dealership, and your mileage allowance is set by the dealership. Open-end leases offer more flexible mileage allowances and end dates for your lease, but you are responsible for the difference between the residual value of the vehicle and its actual value, meaning you may have to pay extra when you return it.
