What Are the Benefits of Going Electric?

If you're thinking about switching to an electric vehicle, there's never been a better time to make the switch. The IRS recently updated its tax deductions to include up to $7,500 in tax credits for electric vehicle owners, and manufacturers have some great options on the market right now. Here's a summary of some of the main benefits of switching to an electric vehicle to help you with your decision. Remember, if you want to make a trade-in, purchase a new vehicle, or finance an electric vehicle, visit your inventory page to see what's in stock.

Why Should You Consider Buying an Electric Vehicle?

Switching to an electric vehicle offers many benefits, including cutting the cost of using fossil fuels and, of course, helping to reduce emissions that affect the environment. Whether you're financially conscious, eco-friendly, or both, an electric vehicle is the perfect choice for modern transportation. And, with so many options available, there's an electric option for every budget and taste. Oh, and let's not forget that electric vehicles almost always get better mileage.

The Benefits of Switching to Electric

Let's take a closer look at some of the main benefits of making the switch to an electric vehicle:

Tax Credits

First and foremost, with the recent IRS tax updates, switching to an electric vehicle can help you save money on your taxes. The IRS grants tax credits to electric vehicle owners in amounts varying between $2,500 and $7,500, which means you can save some serious cash on your tax burden next year. This is part of the initiative to work towards a more sustainable and "green" future through electric vehicles and other clean energy incentives. So, if you want to save some money with premium tax credits, buying electric might just be the way to go.

Reducing Your Emissions

The environment has become something of a concern over the last few decades, with global warming and other problems linked directly to CO2 emissions from — you guessed it — gasoline vehicles, among other things. Ultimately, burning fossil fuels for vehicles is not only unsustainable, but it's also harmful to the environment. Buying an electric vehicle or even a hybrid model can help reduce or completely eliminate your personal vehicle emissions. This gives us all a unique opportunity to participate directly in the conservation of our environment and the longevity of our planet.

Save on Maintenance and Fuel

It's no secret that gas prices are getting out of hand, especially recently. With gas over $4 per gallon in some parts of the country, Americans are looking toward alternative options to cut the cost of getting to work, the grocery, or anywhere, really. Electric vehicles present a viable alternative, with less complex components and fuel costs. Electricity doesn't cost anywhere near what gasoline does, and gasoline-burning vehicles typically require far more maintenance because of their complex parts. Save money on both gas and maintenance by switching to an electric vehicle instead.

Better Driving Experience

Along with the savings an electric vehicle brings to the table, there's also the aspect of the superior driving experience to consider. While some people remain excited about the purr of a gasoline engine, many electric vehicle owners report a smoother, safer, and more satisfying driving experience with electric vehicles. Since they have a lower center of gravity, regenerative braking, and a quieter engine, many new electric vehicle owners fall in love with the smoother, quieter ride. Not to mention, most electric vehicles are equipped with the latest in safety technology to ensure a safer driving experience overall.

Greater Resale Value

If you ever want to upgrade or sell your electric vehicle, you can also benefit from a greater resale value. As opposed to gasoline vehicles, electric vehicles tend to hold their value better, meaning you can resell the vehicle at a later date for a decent return. Since they require lower maintenance and are becoming a more and more practical asset, electric vehicles are becoming more necessary to modern society, and buyers are looking for the next great deal. Check out our stock of used electric vehicles if you're in the market for one.

No More Gas Station Trips

With an electric vehicle, you don't have to visit a gas station to fill up anymore. Gas stations, aside from being incredibly expensive, can also be dangerous. A single spark or careless flame can cause a fire or explosion, so avoiding gas stations is certainly a benefit in itself. With an electric vehicle, you can plug in at charging stations, which are typically available in some store parking lots or at designated areas. You can also get a charger for your home, so you can refill your car's battery while you sleep, which is pretty convenient.

Supporting an Emerging Industry

The electric vehicle industry is starting to ramp up production and roll out new models every year, so by purchasing an electric vehicle, you can help support an emerging industry and keep jobs in our local areas. Right here in Florida, more and more charging stations are appearing as the demand for better vehicles continues to increase, and your money goes directly toward supporting a sustainable future and American industries.

State-Specific Incentives

Some states offer their own unique incentives for making the switch to electric vehicles. These can range from reduced registration fees to tax breaks to rebates on certain equipment, like chargers. The Department of Energy specifically outlines incentives for Florida in this document, which include funds for property owners to install their own charging stations, weight and tax exemptions for school buses and larger vehicles, and more.

Now that you understand the main benefits of buying an electric vehicle, come pay us a visit at Kraft Nissan of Tallahassee, and let us see what we can get you set up with. Our service team can help you find the perfect vehicle to match both your budgeting and practical needs. Stop in or make an appointment today on our website.

The Altima received top marks from the IIHS for its vehicle-to-vehicle front crash prevention, its LATCH ease of use, its roof strength, its head restraints, and much more. The IIHS tests vehicle crashworthiness by simulating collisions at 12, 25, and 37 miles an hour. The Nissan Altima passed its vehicle-to-vehicle collision test with the top “superior” rating, and passed the vehicle-to-pedestrian test with an “advanced” rating.

2022 Nissan Altima NHTSA Safety Ratings

The NHTSA hasn’t rated the latest 2022 Nissan Altima yet, but they gave a top five-star crash-test rating to the 2021 model.

  • Rear Automatic Braking: Just as the Altima looks ahead of you on the road, it scans behind you when you’re in reverse. If it detects an object, person, or anything else behind your SUV, it will engage the brakes to avoid a rear collision.
  • Blind Spot Warning: Keep an eye on your blind spot with this helpful feature, which sends out an alert when there’s something hiding in it.
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert: If you’re backing out of a parking spot or into the road, the Altima will monitor conditions and warn you if cars or pedestrians are passing by.
  • Lane Departure Warning: If you’re unknowingly straying out of your lane on the road, the Altima will gently remind you with an alert or a buzz on the steering wheel to let you know.
  • High Beam Assist: The Altima will automatically detect vehicles coming towards you in the other direction and deactivate the high beams, before reactivating them when the vehicle has passed.

2022 Nissan Altima Available Safety Features

  • Intelligent Around View Mirror: The Intelligent Around View Monitor uses four camera views stitched together to give you a 360-degree view of conditions around your vehicle, so you can keep an eye on everything as you navigate into or out of a parking spot.

What To Do If Your Car Has Flood Damage

Mother Nature has unleashed her fury on Florida and the Atlantic Coast region, and your area, including your car, has flooded. Whether it's Hurricane Ian or some other event, water can damage many parts of the vehicle, especially electrical components, mechanical systems, lubricants such as oil and transmission fluid, and even airbags. So, is your vehicle salvageable? Well, that depends on a few factors, including the amount of water damage done. Another factor is what you do after your car has been flooded. Here are some tips on what to do if your car has flood damage.

Determine Damage

The first step is to visually inspect your vehicle and see how much damage you can see. This would also be an excellent time to take pictures for any potential future insurance claim. One thing is for certain, do NOT start your car. The real damage to electrical components comes when you turn them on while wet. The same goes for other mechanical systems, so do not turn your vehicle on in any circumstances if your car has recent flood damage and is still wet.

Get Your Vehicle as Dry as Possible

The next step you want to take is to get the car as dry as you can. If it's still submerged, bring it to higher ground. Then use a wet vacuum to remove any standing water that might be there. Upholstery cleaning tools that remove water would be a good bet here. Not drying the vehicle out can lead to mold, which can cause health issues, not to mention the odor it leaves behind. Use a towel to finish drying the upholstery, and leave the doors or windows open to let the interior air dry.

File an Insurance Claim

For those with comprehensive auto insurance that includes flood coverage, you'll want to file a claim immediately to get your repairs covered. However, if the damage is too extensive, they may consider the vehicle totaled, and you will be compensated for the vehicle's worth. Working with your insurance agent will help you determine your next steps.

Check the Engine Oil

Water finding its way into your vehicle's lubrication system causes serious issues. If you check the dipstick and there are water droplets visible, that's a sign of a major problem. Once again, you should never start the vehicle after it has suffered flood damage. If water is found, have the oil changed. You'll then have to do a complete flush to ensure that all the water is removed. If you're uncomfortable doing that, have it towed to a mechanic.

Check the Vehicle's Electronics

It is relatively common knowledge that water and electronics do not mix. Ensure there aren't any wiring issues caused by the water, such as disconnected or broken wires. Once you're positive everything has thoroughly dried out and no excess moisture remains, you can power on the electrical components. Powering them up helps you check the electrical components like the turn signals, headlights, power locks, power windows, tail lights, and anything else that is part of the electrical systems.

You can also check your clutch (if present), the brakes, coolant reservoirs, and steering components. You should wait to start the engine until you're sure there's no water in the mechanical systems.

Determine Your Options

Whether you follow the steps above or not, it's good practice to have a reputable mechanic evaluate your vehicle and determine the repair costs. It could turn out that purchasing a new car is cheaper than fixing it.

Can a Flooded Vehicle Be Saved?

Whether or not your vehicle can be saved depends on a lot of variables. One factor to consider is the amount of water damage done. If it was fully submerged for any length of time, the odds of saving the vehicle are pretty low. However, if it was only partially submerged, the water dissipated quickly, and you took the proper precautions, it's possible to repair your water-damaged vehicle.

If you're in a coastal area where saltwater waves caused flooding, you're out of luck. Salt water does extensive damage and is not repairable. However, the possibility of repair remains if the damage is from rain or some other form of fresh water. Seek a mechanic that specializes in flood damage.

Another issue with flooding can also come from what's in the water. If the flooding is from an overflowing river or lake, that can bring mud and silt into the equation, which can cause even more significant damage. It can get into places where it's difficult or impossible to remove, and it can ruin mechanical components.

Final Thoughts

Water damages electronics. Your vehicle has many electrical systems that are required for proper operation, not to mention comfort and convenience features. Acting fast and taking proper precautions after your vehicle has flooded can significantly increase the odds of salvaging the vehicle. The longer it sits in the water, the more likely it is that water will seep into the various components and cause more damage. Keep in mind that once flood damaged, your vehicle will carry a salvage/flood designation from now on, which will significantly impact its resale value.

The best probable course of action is to get as much water as possible out of the vehicle, let it dry out, and then have it towed to an honest, reputable mechanic for evaluation. You can follow the steps above to check the components, but it's almost always advisable to have a mechanic do a complete evaluation. Choose a mechanic with a good reputation and experience when it comes to repairing cars with flood damage. If the vehicle you love has been flooded, don't worry; you may be able to save it.

If you have a vehicle that has sustained flood damage, contact the service specialists at Kraft Nissan to let us take a look at your vehicle.

How to Sell Your Old Car

You've had some good years with your car, but it's time to move on. When you're ready to sell your vehicle, getting the best possible price for your set of wheels is probably foremost in your mind. Our simple tips can help you maximize profits when selling your pre-loved vehicle.

Don't Wait Too Long

If you love a car, it can be tempting to hang onto it for as long as possible. However, that can significantly impact your bottom line. Most buyers want relatively modern vehicles with low mileage. If you wait too long to sell your car, you may get far less than you would have if you'd offloaded it a few years earlier. Car experts suggest selling your car before passing 130,000 miles.

Sell When the Market is Strong

You'll obviously get more for your car if you sell when people are eager to buy cars instead of when interest in automobiles is low. What's not so obvious is how you can time your sale to take advantage of a strong market.

Low fuel prices can encourage people to purchase a new car, so keep an eye on the cost of gas. Watching listings on car sales sites can also help you gauge the market. If cars seem to sell quickly, you may feel more confident that yours will too. If they're slower to move, you might prefer to hold onto your vehicle for a few months until the market changes.

Clean Your Car Inside and Out

Giving your car a thorough clean can help it make a positive first impression on buyers. A clean car suggests you take care of your vehicle, so it's worth spending money on. Best of all, since it probably won't cost you anything but time, cleaning your car isn't going to eat into your profits. Give the exterior a thorough wash to remove dirt, bug splatters, and other unsightly stains. Don't forget the wax for some extra shine. If the water doesn't bead, get your car detailed to bring your paint's luster back. Use some tire shine to rejuvenate your wheels.

Once you've beautified the exterior, it's time to tackle the inside. Remove any clutter from your car's interior and vacuum it thoroughly. Pay attention to often-neglected areas like the steering wheel, dashboard, carpet, door jams, cup holders, and trunk. Rubbing a vinyl restorative product into the dashboard can make it look new. You can also spray a little air freshener to make your car smell more appealing. If you're a smoker or travel with pets, it's worth steam cleaning the interior to remove stubborn odors.

Invest in Small Cosmetic Enhancements

It's usually not worth spending a lot of money on cosmetic improvements before selling your car. But spending a little money on some small enhancements can really pay dividends. Old, worn floor mats can make your car look unsightly. Replacing your mats with new ones can brighten up your car's interior instantly. New windshield wipers are another small investment that can really pay off. Make sure you mention your new purchases to a prospective buyer. When they know you've made an effort to maintain your vehicle, they may be more willing to give you a good price.

Know Your Car's Worth

To get the best price for your car, it's important to know what's realistic. Knowing your car's worth helps you understand when you're getting a good deal and accept the right offer. Kelley Blue Book is the most reliable resource for car valuations. Evaluate your car's condition and decide whether it should sell above or below the average for its make, model, and year. If you're unsure, ask a friend or family member for their objective opinion.

Sell the Car With Paperwork

Used cars often aren't sold with any paperwork. However, some documents can be really valuable for buyers, as they can help them understand the car's history. The original owner's manual can help the buyer understand how your car works. Brochures from the car manufacturer also offer a great snapshot of your car's best features. Don't forget your service log. A complete log shows a buyer you maintained your car well, so it's unlikely to have any major faults. If you've made any repairs, written records can help the buyer understand the work done.

If you've modified your vehicle, paperwork supporting your improvements can also justify a higher price. Receipts and brochures for new sound systems, tires, or alarm systems are all great extras to give the person buying your car. Organize all the paperwork in a folder so you can appear professional presenting it to a buyer.

Sell to a Dealership

Many people mistakenly believe they can get more money for their car by selling privately, but it's a bit of a gamble. To sell privately, you need to invest money in a roadworthy certificate and any repairs your car needs to meet safety standards. Depending on how you advertise your vehicle, you could spend money on an ad in the classifieds or printing flyers. You may or may not make that money back through profits.

There's no need to spend money on any of these things when you sell to a dealership. Dealers expect they'll need to prepare your car for sale, so minor problems won't impact your bottom line too much. They can also get repairs done cheaper, so you'll probably spend more fixing issues than a dealership will subtract from their offer. Dealers also won't haggle you down the way private buyers do. If you plan on buying a car from a dealership to replace your wheels, your original car can also be a great bargaining chip.

At Kraft Nissan, we pride ourselves on giving customers in Tallahassee the fairest price for their pre-loved vehicles. Use our handy value trade-in technology to get a trade-in estimate at home, then come in and see us for a vehicle appraisal. We encourage you to negotiate a price you're happy with. We can then put your trade-in value toward a great new or used vehicle. At Kraft Nissan, we take the stress out of selling your car.

What Fuel Type Is Best for My Nissan?

If you have recently purchased your first Nissan vehicle or plan to buy one in the future, you might have many questions. One of the most common questions people have is about which fuel type they should use in their vehicle. For instance, you might not know if you need to use regular or premium gas.

The key to knowing which fuel you should use is understanding octane ratings and what premium gas does. Here's what you need to know about fueling up your Nissan.

What You Need to Know About Octane Ratings

If you've ever looked at the gas pump when you fuel up, you probably noticed the numbers on the button you press to select your desired fuel. On the gas pump, you'll see that regular fuel is marked with an 87, whereas premium gas is often marked with a 91. This number is the fuel's octane content, which is also an indicator of the stability of the gas or how easy it is to ignite. Fuel with more octane takes more energy to ignite, and high-performance engines may require this fuel.

Does Your Nissan Need Premium Fuel?

Each Nissan is different, and some vehicles do benefit from premium fuel. When you use the proper gas for your car, you ensure that your vehicle is as efficient as possible. If you have a Nissan vehicle with high-performance levels, premium gasoline is likely more beneficial. This will help your larger engine run as efficiently as possible without being held back by the kind of fuel you use to gas up.

One thing to know is that most Nissan vehicles run well with regular fuel. Nissans typically run efficiently without the need to opt for premium fuel. However, there are still some cars that benefit from premium. Knowing more about your engine can help you determine which type of fuel you need for your vehicle. If you’re still uncertain about what kind of fuel to use, take a look at the vehicle's owner's manual. The document should supply more information about which fuel options are ideal for your Nissan.

Which Nissan Vehicles Need Which Fuel Type?

Here's the key to remembering which cars need which type of fuel. If you have a sedan, you likely need regular gas. If you have a high-end luxury car, sports car, or something else that’s performance-based, you likely need premium fuel. However, there are some exceptions.

Let's look at the Nissan Altima, for instance. While you can use regular fuel for all generations of the Altima, the sixth generation of vehicles will benefit more from premium fuel. In fact, using 93 octane fuel can bring your power from 236 horsepower to 248 horsepower. In this case, ultra-premium gas is a good option for Nissan Altimas made after 2019. You can still get away with using regular gasoline, however.

On the other hand, the Nissan Rogue doesn't need any special fuel. Each model can get away with using regular unleaded fuel with no change in efficiency. Most smaller SUVs don’t require premium fuel, and the Nissan Murano doesn't need premium fuel if you buy the base model. Yet, some trim packages benefit from premium fuel.

However, if you own a newer Nissan Maxima, you should reach for the premium gas. The Maxima is a car that sees performance benefits with premium fuel, but you can still use regular gasoline in a pinch. You simply won't be as efficient on the road without the right kind of gas.

What Happens If You Use Regular Fuel Instead of Premium?

If you use the wrong fuel in your vehicle, your car may experience engine knocking. This happens when the fuel mixes with the air, creating an unexpected explosion, which could happen if you put high-octane gasoline in a car that doesn't need it. This can be alarming if you hear it while you are on the road, and you might even think that something else is wrong with your car.

Something else you might notice is that the engine doesn't seem as powerful as it usually does. You might not get the same efficiency from your vehicle with regular gas. You might move more slowly than you would otherwise and notice that you are fueling up more often. Or, even your gas mileage may suffer significantly.

The good news is that your vehicle likely won't experience permanent damage from putting regular fuel into a car that takes premium gas. You should be able to fuel up with the correct gas next time and see your car zoom back to life. Still, it's best not to make this a regular occurrence, so you can avoid the need for repairs or the need to remove gunk from your fuel tank.

What Happens If You Use Premium Fuel Instead of Regular?

If you put premium gas into your tank instead of the regular fuel your car needs, you probably won't notice anything. In fact, the most significant change will likely be to your wallet, thanks to the higher prices of premium gas. You shouldn't see anything different in how your vehicle drives, and you shouldn't face any need for repairs or service.

Should You Buy a Nissan That Uses Premium Gas?

There are plenty of reasons why you might want to consider a Nissan that uses premium gas. Premium fuel is more expensive than regular fuel. However, at the same time, you might still get better performance out of your vehicle if it can handle premium gas. If you are somebody who lives for a high-performance engine, you will probably love having a car that needs premium fuel.

Kraft Nissan understands that fuel types can be intimidating to understand at first. If you want to test drive a Nissan that uses premium gas, check out our inventory and learn more about the new cars available on our lot . You may find that a high-performance Nissan is your new dream car.

This small four-door SUV enjoys excellent performance specs thanks to a 201-horsepower 1.5L turbocharged engine, and sleek features inside and out. The Rogue also gets exceptional fuel efficiency—30 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway—and a spacious cabin with plenty of room for passengers and cargo alike.

But is the 2022 Nissan Rogue safe? More often than not, SUVs tend to be sold as family vehicles, which means that safety is a major deciding factor for prospective drivers. Fortunately, the 2022 Nissan Rogue comes with a wide variety of advanced safety and driver-assistance features designed to protect you and your passengers on every ride. But you don’t have to take our word for it!

We’ve also included some highlighted 2022 Nissan Rogue safety features, so you can get an idea of how this SUV protects you on the road.

 

 

2022 Nissan Rogue Safety Ratings: IIHS

The IIHS has awarded the 2022 Nissan Rogue its highest safety award, the Top Safety Pick+. It rates the front crash prevention for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian collisions as “superior,” and crashworthiness features such as roof strength and head restraints as “good,” both of which are the highest ranking for their respective categories. The Nissan Rogue’s standard Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection (more on that below) was able to avoid a collision with other vehicles and pedestrians at speed of up to 37 miles an hour, automatically reducing speed and issuing alerts to the driver. The IIHS also gives top marks to the Rogue’s LED headlights and child safety systems.

2022 Nissan Rogue Safety Ratings: NHTSA

The NHTSA rates vehicles for their crash-test safety in three categories: frontal crash, side crash, and rollover. These tests simulate crashes in various scenarios designed to mimic real-world conditions—for example, the frontal test simulates a head-on collision between two vehicles moving at 35 miles an hour. The 2022 Rogue received a four-star rating for frontal crash, five stars for side crash, and four stars for rollover. The NHTSA particularly praises the Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Crash Imminent Braking, and Dynamic Brake Support features.

2022 Nissan Rogue Safety Features

Now that we’ve had a chance to go over the 2022 Nissan Rogue safety ratings, let’s take a look at the features that made those ratings possible! The Nissan Rogue has been designed from the ground up to make every ride around Pensacola and beyond as smooth, safe, and comfortable as possible for everyone inside the cabin. Here’s a selection of the best standard and available 2022 Nissan Rogue safety features:

  • Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Braking: The Nissan Rogue is always monitoring road conditions ahead of you, keeping track of your speed and the speed of the car in front of you. It’ll let you know if you’re getting too close, and will engage the emergency brakes if a forward collision is imminent.
  • Rear Automatic Braking: Just as the Rogue looks ahead of you on the road, it scans behind you when you’re in reverse. If it detects an object, person, or anything else behind your SUV, it will engage the brakes to avoid a rear collision.
  • Blind Spot Warning: Keep an eye on your blind spot with this helpful feature, which sends out an alert when there’s something hiding in it.
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert: If you’re backing out of a parking spot or into the road, the Rogue will monitor conditions and warn you if cars or pedestrians are passing by.
  • Lane Departure Warning: If you’re unknowingly straying out of your lane on the road, the Rogue will gently remind you with an alert or a buzz on the steering wheel to let you know.
  • High Beam Assist: The Rogue will automatically detect vehicles coming towards you in the other direction and deactivate the high beams, before reactivating them when the vehicle has passed.
  • Intelligent Around View Mirror: The Intelligent Around View Monitor uses four camera views stitched together to give you a 360-degree view of conditions around your vehicle, so you can keep an eye on everything as you navigate into or out of a parking spot.
  • Intelligent Forward Collision Warning: This class-exclusive feature watches two car lengths ahead, alerting you with a warning when it detects deceleration in front of you.
  • Traffic Sign Recognition: With Traffic Sign Recognition, you can enjoy peace of mind on the road as the Nissan Rogue scans nearby road signs and informs you of speed limits, road closures, and more!

Nissan Ariya vs. Nissan Leaf

If you're in the market for a new electric vehicle, Nissan has two great options to consider. The first is one of Nissan's more popular vehicles over the past few years, the 2022 Nissan Leaf, while the other is the new and upcoming 2023 Nissan Ariya. Below, we'll highlight some key features and differences between these two vehicles to help you decide which one is right for you.

Nissan Ariya vs. Nissan Leaf: Performance

First, let's look at the performance capability of these two vehicles. For starters, the Ariya comes with a larger, more powerful engine. Inside this Nissan, you'll find an electric motor that produces 215 horsepower and 285 lb-ft of torque. In addition, the large battery can accelerate the car from zero to 60 mph in just 5 seconds and has a top speed of 125 mph. One of the benefits of the Nissan Ariya is the ability to transfer all of its engine power to its front or rear wheels as needed, which results in a more stable EV.

On the other hand, the Nissan Leaf has a slightly smaller electric motor. This motor produces 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque and can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in about 7 seconds. The Nissan Leaf tops out at a speed of 98 mph. Therefore, if you want a vehicle with better performance statistics, the Nissan Ariya is the way to go.

Nissan Ariya vs. Nissan Leaf: Range and Connections

The Nissan Ariya and Nissan Leaf each have slightly different maximum ranges. With the Nissan Ariya, you can expect a range of around 300 miles on a single battery charge. On the other hand, the Nissan Leaf delivers about 226 miles per charge. This is largely due to the bigger battery on the Nissan Ariya, which helps the vehicle last longer between charges.

When it comes time to charge the vehicle, the Nissan Ariya features a CCS charging port. CCS charging ports allow for rapid vehicle charging and are an open international standard. This type of connection is becoming increasingly popular as multiple car manufacturers use it. You'll find two different options for charging in the Nissan Leaf. There is a Type 2 inlet, which provides the standard charge, and a CHAdeMO inlet that allows for rapid charging.

Nissan Ariya vs. Nissan Leaf: Comfort and Entertainment Features

Both the Nissan Ariya and Nissan Leaf come with plenty of entertainment and comfort features. To start, you'll find Nissan's signature Zero-Gravity seats, built with 14 different pressure points to keep you in a neutral position. The Nissan Ariya also comes with dual 12.3-inch displays, which act as both a digital gauge cluster and an infotainment system. You can easily connect to your mobile device and stream your favorite audio source through the infotainment system. Finally, one previewed feature of the Ariya is the ability to adjust the vehicle's temperature based on a schedule.

The Nissan Leaf offers a similar level of innovation. The front seats provide a comfortable ride, and the back has plenty of room for passengers. There's also 30 cu-ft of flexible cargo space in the back, which is perfect for your next adventure. The Leaf's infotainment system provides an 8-inch center console display equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For the ultimate audio experience, you can upgrade to a premium Bose audio system on higher trim levels.

Nissan Ariya vs. Nissan Leaf: Safety Features

Finally, both the Nissan Ariya and the Nissan Leaf come with plenty of safety features to help protect you on the road. For starters, the Nissan Ariya will have the ProPILOT Assist 2.0 system, which is Nissan's semi-autonomous technology. This will allow drivers to remove their hands from the wheel in specific driving scenarios while the vehicle steers itself. A previous version of this system, the original ProPILOT Assist, is available on select Leaf trims.

Beyond this, both the Ariya and Leaf have many of the same safety features that come standard. These include:

  • Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection.
  • Rear automatic braking.
  • Lane departure warning.
  • High beam assist.
  • Rear cross traffic alert.
  • Blind-spot monitoring.

While the Nissan Ariya has not yet received a safety rating from the NHTSA, the Nissan Leaf received an overall rating of five stars. This is mainly due to the many included safety technologies, most of which are also included with the Ariya.

Nissan Ariya vs. Nissan Leaf: Trim Options

When exploring the Nissan Ariya and the Nissan Leaf, you'll come across several different trim options. These trim options allow you more control over which features come with your vehicle and how much you're looking to spend.

Beginning with the base trim level Ariya Venture+, the trim levels include more upgrades and options as you move through to the Ariya Evolve+, Ariya Premiere, and the luxurious Ariya Platinum+.

As for the Nissan Leaf, the available trims begin with the Leaf S and continue through the Leaf S Plus, Leaf SV, Leaf SV PLUS, and finally, the Leaf SL Plus.

We highly recommend visiting your local Nissan dealership for more information about what's included with each trim level.

What Credit Score is Needed to Buy a Car?

Thinking about buying a new car? It's common for many people to use an auto loan to help finance this type of purchase. Just over one-third of Americans utilize a car loan to purchase the vehicle of their choice, according to the Federal Reserve. However, to secure a loan, your lender is going to want to look at your credit score. In this article, Kraft Nissan in Tallahassee, FL will tell you more about what your credit score is, the different scoring systems out there, and what things your dealership may look at when determining your creditworthiness.

What Is a Reasonable Credit Score to Buy a Car?

Your credit score is a three-digit number that reflects your overall consumer behavior as complied on your credit report. There's quite a bit of information in this report, but the most impactful factors include your:

  • Payment history — your percentage of on-time payments.
  • Credit utilization — how much credit you're using vs. total available amount.
  • Derogatory marks — any collections, bankruptcies, or other public records on your report.
  • Length of credit history — the average age of your open accounts.
  • Hard inquiries — the number of instances that you've requested credit.

Paying your bills in full and on time and not overspending are two of the biggest factors that can help to increase your credit score. Although having a credit score that's considered “fair” or higher (≥650) may broaden your financing options, getting a car loan is still possible for those with “poor” or “bad” credit (550≤).

What Credit Scores Do Car Lenders Look At?

Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian are the three major credit reporting agencies in the United States. Each of these companies keeps their own credit report on you and gives you a credit score based on this data. Additionally, there are “credit-scoring models” that take this same information but calculate your score differently based on various criteria. The two main credit-scoring models are Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) and VantageScore.

Among the top lenders in the United States, 90% of them use FICO scores as a part of their decision-making processes. This makes it highly likely that your FICO score will be used to help lenders determine whether to extend credit to you. To give lenders further clarity, the FICO scoring model also provides 28 industry-specific scores. One of these scores deals with auto loans and is fittingly called the FICO Auto Score.

FICO Auto Scores range from 250 to 900 and similar factors (credit utilization, payment history, etc.) will have an impact on your score. However, there are some differences. For example, the FICO Auto Score will give more weight to any previous car loan payments you've made over other types of payments in your overall history. This may cause your FICO Auto Score to be higher or lower than your regular credit score. It's wise to check your score in preparation for purchasing a vehicle.

What Do Car Dealerships Look for When Making Credit Decisions?

Along with reviewing your credit score, your car dealer will weigh other factors when making decisions regarding vehicle financing options. Although the credit process can seem intimidating at times, remember that your lender just wants to clarify that you're a responsible person who can be trusted to pay back your debts, if you have the means to do so. Your monthly rent and how stable your employment is are examples of the kinds of information they may consider during this process.

Remember that the two biggest factors that make up your credit score are your payment history and how responsible you've been with credit already extended to you (credit utilization). If you are missing payments, not paying for long periods at a time (>30 days), or using up most of the credit you already have, these can be potential red flags. Additionally, if you have any recent outstanding debts that have gone to collections or recent bankruptcies, these records can have a negative effect on you as well.

Tips for Improving Your Chances of Being Approved for Credit

Don't forget that if your credit history isn't as good as you want or think it should be, you may still be able to obtain a car loan to purchase a vehicle. However, the better your credit score is, the better the terms may be on securing a financing offer. So, what do you do if you check your score and it's not ideal?

First, make sure that the information listed in your credit record is accurate. If there are any discrepancies, contact the appropriate credit agency and file a dispute to correct any errors found in your report. Second, make sure that you've paid off any outstanding debts and are up to date on payments if you've fallen behind. Debts that have gone to collections can remain on your credit report for up to seven years.

Another aspect to pay attention to is your credit utilization rate, so you don't give the appearance of someone who is overspending. As much as possible, try to make sure your utilization rate is under 30%. For optimum results, try getting it under 10%. This means if your overall credit limit is $20,000, don't use more than $2,000.

These are just a few tips our friendly and knowledgeable team here at Kraft Nissan would like to share with you. If you have more questions, feel free to contact us or stop by our dealership here in Tallahassee. As one of the longest-running car dealerships in North Florida, we've been helping people with all levels of credit discover the financing options available to them.

2022 Nissan Pathfinder MPG

Driving your big family around Tallahassee isn’t a quick walk in the park. But when you get behind the wheels of a new Nissan Pathfinder, you can leave constant gas station trips off of your plate! Despite being a crossover SUV that can seat up to 8 people, the Pathfinder offers generous mpg ratings that are comparable to other models in its class. In fact, the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder mpg estimates reach all the way up to 21 city/27 highway EPA-estimated mpg*! Discover more about how fuel-efficient this Nissan SUV is below before saving on your purchase with the specials at Kraft Nissan.

 

 

How Many Miles Per Gallon Does the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder Get?

Depending on which trim and drivetrain you go for, your 2022 Nissan Pathfinder gas mileage will vary slightly. You can expect the estimates to be similar, so you won’t have to sacrifice efficiency even if you want better handling with a 4WD model. If anything, the highway mpg estimates will be slightly higher on most of the 4WD configurations. Check out the specs for each configuration below:

2WD Drivetrains:

  • 2022 Nissan Pathfinder S: 21 city/26 highway EPA-estimated mpg*
  • 2022 Nissan Pathfinder SV: 21 city/26 highway EPA-estimated mpg*
  • 2022 Nissan Pathfinder SL: 21 city/26 highway EPA-estimated mpg*
  • 2022 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum: 21 city/26 highway EPA-estimated mpg*

4WD Drivetrains:

  • 2022 Nissan Pathfinder S: 21 city/27 highway EPA-estimated mpg*
  • 2022 Nissan Pathfinder SV: 21 city/27 highway EPA-estimated mpg*
  • 2022 Nissan Pathfinder SL: 21 city/27 highway EPA-estimated mpg*
  • 2022 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum: 20 city/25 highway EPA-estimated mpg*

2022 Nissan Pathfinder Fuel Tank Capacity

While the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder mpg ratings vary across the lineup, the fuel tank capacity remains the same regardless of trim and drivetrain. Buy any model in Pensacola and you will enjoy a fuel tank capacity of 18.5 gallons!

Is the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder Fuel-Efficient?

When you compare the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder gas mileage with those of other models in its class, you will see that the Pathfinder is just as efficient for your drives in Dothan, AL.

Not to mention, while most competitors are switching to the continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) to boost mpg ratings, Nissan has managed to maintain the specs despite changing the previously equipped CVT to a 9-speed automatic transmission in the 2022 models. What this really means is that you can cut down on the number of gas station trips as well as the obnoxiously loud noises coming from a CVT! The Pathfinder is equipped with technology to help you easily maximize your efficiency, which includes:

  • New 9-speed automatic transmission for quick response and handling while maximizing fuel efficiency
  • Idle start/stop feature to shut off your engine automatically when you’re stopped to save fuel

Leasing or Buying a Car: Review the Benefits

When you decide it's time to upgrade your vehicle, there are many things to consider. Along with what car you need, you'll also have to determine if you should buy or lease. Both options have several advantages and disadvantages, so it all comes down to what works for you and your financial situation. Here's a review of the benefits of buying and leasing and some of the downfalls, so you can make an informed decision.

What Is the Difference Between Buying and Leasing?

It's important to understand what it means to buy a car vs. lease a car before you decide which one is the better option for you. When you lease, it is essentially a long-term rental. You make monthly payments to a leasing company and drive the car for a specified timeframe and for a certain number of miles. Most leases last for three to four years, and when the lease contract ends, you bring the car back to the dealership.

Buying a car means you either pay for it outright with money you already have or, in most cases, borrow money from a financial institution to pay for the vehicle. If you borrow money, the lender actually owns the car until you complete the loan repayments. But, once you make that final payment, you own the car, and it's yours until you decide to sell it.

The Benefits of Leasing

There are some significant advantages to leasing a car. Some of these include:

  • Lower monthly payments: Since you're only paying for the use of the vehicle and not the entire cost of it, monthly lease payments are lower than monthly loan payments.
  • Lower down payment: Lease contracts often require less money down, and sometimes you don't need to make a down payment at all.
  • Repairs are covered under the manufacturer warranty: Since leased vehicles are often new, you get the benefit of the manufacturer's warranty, which usually lasts for three years.
  • No resale concerns: Leasing means you don't have to sell the vehicle when you are ready for a new one. All you need to do is bring it back to the dealership and pay any fees to end the contract.

Another advantage of leasing is the ability to upgrade your vehicle every few years. Since lease contracts only last three to four years, you can bring the car back at the end of the lease and get into a new vehicle with a new lease. This means you'll always drive a new car with the latest technology and features.

The Disadvantages of Leasing

While it has many advantages, leasing a car also has some drawbacks.

  • Mileage restrictions: Lease contracts specifically state the number of miles you can drive. Each mile that exceeds this limit will add to your final lease payment.
  • No equity: When you lease a car, 100% of the monthly payment goes to the leasing company, so you don't build up any equity. When you buy a car, a portion of the loan payment goes towards the principal.
  • Added fees: Some lease contracts require security deposits, and there may also be fees if you terminate the lease early.
  • Wear and tear expenses: You are responsible for excessive wear and tear on a leased vehicle. If it's returned with damage, you'll have to pay the dealership for the repairs.
  • No customization: Lease contracts often stipulate that you cannot make any modifications to the car. If you like aftermarket accessories or upgrades, you'll want to stay away from leasing.

The Advantages of Buying

When you compare buying to leasing a vehicle, buying has some significant benefits.

  • Equity buildup: Buying your car means that you will eventually own it. While making car payments, you build up equity, which you can use towards a down payment on your next vehicle.
  • No mileage restrictions: There's no need to worry about the number of miles you put on the car.
  • No restrictions on aftermarket upgrades: When you buy a vehicle, you are free to make any modifications you want. This is not possible with a leased vehicle.
  • Ability to sell the car at any time: You can sell a vehicle you purchase at any time.
  • Lower insurance costs: Insurance is usually less expensive when buying a car.

The Disadvantages of Buying

Although buying a car has many advantages and is often a good financial decision, it can also come with some disadvantages.

  • Larger down payment: A significant down payment is often needed in order to keep monthly loan payments affordable.
  • Depreciation: A new car loses value as soon as you leave the dealership. This results in a large portion of the money you spend getting lost to depreciation. You may also find yourself "upside down" in your loan, which means you owe more than the car is worth.
  • Higher monthly payments: Loan payments are usually higher than lease payments because they include interest plus principle.
  • Long-term maintenance: Maintenance costs for a vehicle can be significant once the warranty runs out. When you buy a car and keep it for the long term, you'll be 100% responsible for repairs after the end of the warranty period.

The Bottom Line

Deciding whether to buy or lease your next new vehicle comes down to what is best for you. There is no one-size-fits-all situation. You'll want to take a good look at your finances, consider your driving habits, and think about your lifestyle. Leasing is a good option if you like driving a new car and always want the latest and greatest technology and features, and it's also a good option if you don't put a lot of miles on your vehicle.

If you do a lot of driving, are concerned about building equity, and want the option to customize your car, then buying is the better way to go.

If you're still unsure about whether you should buy or lease, stop by Kraft Nissan. Our finance team can sit down with you and discuss your options. We'll provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision.
