The Maxima is Nissan's most luxurious sedan and has undergone a complete makeover this year. Its silhouette is much more dynamic and exclusive than before, which gives it a personality that clearly distinguishes it from the Altima, Nissan’s other big sedan. Its 3.5-litre 300-horsepower V6 engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission. The Maxima is a front-wheel drive.
