The Nissan Maxima brings together the best in technology, design and luxury. It is truly a car for the discerning driver. From its award-winning engine to its flowing body shape to its seemingly endless list of features, the Maxima offers one of the great driving experiences available today.
Leading automotive journal, Ward's Auto World, described the Maxima's 3.5 litre V6 engine like this: “Nissan's remarkable VQ V6 engine continues as an industry benchmark, reaffirming Ward's opinion that the VQ ranks as one of the best V6 engines ever developed... able to deliver remarkable refinement and genuinely stunning performance".
Constant innovation and improvement by Nissan engineers has seen it make Ward's top ten engine list every year for over a decade. In 2006 this remarkable engine is mated to Nissan's Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) to keep the engine in its most efficient range. The result is better fuel economy. But what you feel is optimal power. Along with an incredibly smooth ride.
Outside, the vehicle's sleek, streamlined shape does more than just appeal to the eye; it cuts through the air, minimising drag and maximising fuel efficiency. The Maxima now rides on sportier, 17" 6 spoke alloy wheels and features a new front grille, dual rear exhaust finishers as well as new front and rear bumpers.
Inside, you'll discover nothing less than stylish comfort, refinement and practicality where a new metallic look dash trim perfectly complements the elegant leather upholstery.
Almost all the information you could ask for is right here. But we'd still suggest a visit to your Nissan Dealer. After all, wouldn't you rather enjoy the luxury of a personal demonstration and test drive?
