2016 Nissan Maxima unveiled

Nissan has unveiled the 2016 Maxima at the New York auto show. The Maxima was originally previewed by the Nissan Sports Sedan concept back in 2014.

The new Maxima gets a bold design with a V-motion front facia, LED-infused headlamps, a large hexagonal grille and inset fog-lamps. On the sides, the car gets prominent creases over the front and rear wheels, a ‘floating roof’ design with blacked out A- and B-pillars and new 18-inch alloy wheels with painted inserts. At the rear, the car gets wrap-around LED tail-lamps joined by a large strip of chrome and dual exhausts.

On the inside, the new Maxima gets a flat-bottomed steering wheel, Alcantara accents, a centre stack that is angled seven degrees toward the driver and a new 7.0-inch Advanced Drive Assist Display in the instrument cluster.

Other options available include ambient lighting, heated /cooled front seats, a Bose audio system and premium Ascot leather seats with diamond-quilted inserts, Intelligent Cruise Control, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and a Predictive Forward Collision Warning system.

Under the hood, the Maxima gets a 3.5-litre V6 generating 300bhp and 36.08kgm of torque. The car also gets a new Xtronic transmission that Nissan claims boosts the cars mileage.

The new Maxima is expected to go on sale internationally later this year.
