The all-new 2016 Nissan Maxima sets a new standard for style, performance and technology in the large sedan segment.

The new Maxima's 3.5-liter VQ-series V6 is redesigned with more than 60 percent new parts. With 300 horsepower, the revised engine offers an anticipated 15 percent increase in highway fuel economy to 30 miles per gallon.

Complementing the powerplant is a new, performance-oriented Xtronic transmission featuring a wider ratio range, which allows for stronger acceleration from a standing start and an all-new D-Step shifting logic that provides rapid shifts at high throttle openings.

Maxima's exterior design is lower, longer and leaner. The new Maxima embodies the latest Nissan design language and projects a distinctive upscale look through its unique combination of a lower profile and a wide stance, bold front end, Nissan signature V-Motion grille and floating roof appearance.

Maxima's lighting features define its presence on the road with boomerang-style headlights and taillights, LED daytime running lights and two-piece taillights. Large dual exhaust tailpipe finishers and 18-inch machined-finished aluminum-alloy wheels complement the look.

The bespoke-style interior offers genuine stitching on the instrument panel, doors and console, available ambient lighting, available Ascot premium leather seating surfaces with diamond-quilted inserts, unique faceted finishers and a sporty D-shape (flat-bottom) steering wheel.

Maxima's next-generation technology includes NissanConnect with navigation, featuring an 8-inch touchscreen display, along with SiriusXM Satellite Radio and SiriusXM Travel Link applications and other connectivity features. The NissanConnect system is paired with a standard 7.0-inch Advanced Drive Assist Display (ADAD) within the instrument cluster.
