New Nissan Maxima: Sports Car Performance, Sedan Practicality

With its roomy and refined accommodations, dynamic styling, and potent performance, the Nissan Maxima lives up to its billing as a four-door sports car. It's great for Columbia drivers seeking a classy, comfortable commuter with ample motivation under the hood. The new Nissan Maxima is available at Dick Smith Nissan of St. Andrews. Here's a quick look at a few highlights.

• Performance: A punchy 3.5-liter V-6 powerplant propels the Nissan Maxima with 300 horsepower and 261 pound-feet of torque. Smartly tuned suspension and a low stance keep the sedan steady through curves and smooth on the highway. The SR trim adds paddle shifters and sport-tuned suspension for enhanced agility.

• Accommodations: The Maxima's cabin is spacious and upscale, with attractive style, quality materials, an intuitive layout, and an impressive 45 inches of front legroom. Standard comfort amenities include leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, remote pre-climatization, and ergonomic, NASA-inspired, Zero Gravity heated front seats. Stepping up just one level adds ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a sunroof, and driver-position memory. The top-tier Platinum trim includes heated rear seats, a power rear sunshade, and premium Ascot Leather upholstery.

• Technology: The Nissan Maxima provides convenient connectivity courtesy of an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration. SR models add an 11-speaker Bose audio system for immersive listening experiences and an Intelligent Around View® Monitor for easier maneuvering in tight spaces.

• Safety: Standard Nissan Safety Shield® technologies support your attentive driving and provide a more confident and convenient experience behind the wheel. Every Nissan Maxima includes driver aids like collision mitigation with pedestrian detection, blind spot/cross-traffic warning, parking sensors, and adaptive cruise control.
