Music is personal. So are podcasts, navigation prompts, hands free calls, and the subtle details that make a drive feel just right. But until now, vehicle audio systems treated every driver the same. That changes with Nissan Personalized Sound, an industry first feature that creates an audio experience tailored specifically to how you hear. Available on select Nissan vehicles equipped with Google built in, this technology is designed for drivers with hearing differences, true audiophiles, and anyone who wants to experience their sound system the way it was meant to be heard. At Loughead Nissan in Swarthmore, we are excited to offer technology that does more than sound impressive. It listens to you first. What Is Nissan Personalized Sound? Personalized Sound is a free downloadable app available through the Google Play Store on supported Nissan vehicles with Google built in. Instead of relying on basic bass and treble sliders, the system builds a unique sound profile based on your individual hearing. The setup takes about three minutes. After launching the app, the system guides you through a short in vehicle hearing test by playing tones at different volumes and frequencies. You simply tap the screen to indicate what you can hear. From there, the system automatically creates a customized audio profile just for you. The result feels like your favorite music has been quietly remastered in the background, without changing the song, only how you experience it. Why This Matters for Drivers Who Care About Sound For drivers with hearing impairments, Personalized Sound can make spoken audio clearer and music more balanced without cranking the volume. For audiophiles, it unlocks detail and separation that often gets lost in traditional car audio tuning. And for everyday drivers, it simply makes everything easier to hear and more enjoyable. Instead of one size fits all tuning, Nissan Personalized Sound precisely adjusts a 10 band equalizer across key frequencies. That means vocals sound clearer, instruments feel more defined, and subtle details come through even in songs you have heard a hundred times before. This is about better sound. Multiple Drivers, Multiple Sound Profiles. No Compromise If more than one person drives your Nissan, Personalized Sound adapts seamlessly. Each driver can create and save their own hearing profile. When you select your driver profile, your personalized audio settings load automatically. The system can even be linked to individual key fobs for a smoother transition. Whether you are sharing a vehicle with a partner, family member, or co driver, everyone gets an experience tuned just for them. Which Nissan Models Offer Personalized Sound? Personalized Sound is available at no additional cost on Nissan vehicles equipped with Google built in, including: Nissan Rogue 2024 and newer Nissan Murano 2025 and newer Nissan Armada 2025 and newer Nissan LEAF 2026 If your vehicle has Google built in, chances are this feature is already within reach. Experience Personalized Sound at Loughead Nissan in Swarthmore Technology should adapt to people, not the other way around. Nissan Personalized Sound does exactly that by recognizing that every driver hears the world a little differently. Visit Loughead Nissan at 755 S. Chester Rd, Route 320, Swarthmore, PA 19081 to explore Nissan vehicles equipped with Personalized Sound.

If you drive a Nissan Ariya, or you're thinking about joining the EV crowd, your biggest question is probably: Where do I charge, and how easy is it to keep my vehicle powered up? At Loughead Nissan in Swarthmore, PA, we’ve got good news. Nissan has just made EV charging simpler, smarter, and more convenient than ever before. With the release of a Nissan-approved North American Charging Standard (NACS) adapter kit, Ariya drivers can now access more than 20,000 Tesla Superchargers across the country. That’s in addition to public charging stations already available through the NISSAN ENERGY Charge Network. Whether you’re commuting around Swarthmore and Springfield, heading into Philly, or taking a weekend trip through the Delaware Valley, you’ve now got charging options everywhere. The adapter itself is easy to use. It connects your Ariya’s CCS1 charging system to Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) fast chargers, no mechanical wizardry required. The adapter kit is priced at $235 and can be ordered through Loughead Nissan or online at NissanUSA.com. And once you’ve got it, the MyNISSAN app helps you find compatible chargers in real-time, right from your phone. With all this expanded access, Nissan is taking the guesswork out of EV ownership. That means less time worrying about charging and more time actually enjoying the drive. The Ariya is compatible with Tesla’s V3 and V4 Superchargers, and the adapter doesn’t slow anything down, you’ll get the same fast charging performance you expect. Looking ahead, Nissan has even bigger plans. Starting this year, new Nissan EVs will come equipped with built-in NACS ports, so no adapter will be needed to access Tesla Superchargers. The future of charging in Pennsylvania, and everywhere else, is looking a lot more connected. As more drivers in Swarthmore and across Delaware County make the switch to electric, access to reliable, convenient charging is becoming more important than ever. Nissan’s move to support the NACS standard is a major step toward unifying the charging experience for EV owners everywhere. And with trusted local dealerships like Loughead Nissan here to support you before and after the sale, you’ll never feel like you're figuring it out alone.
