A Long Term Review Of The Nissan Maxima

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Nissan Maxima

Firstly, the Nissan Maxima competes with the likes of the Kia Optima and the VW Passat. Both these cars are considered stellar cars. In fact, the Kia Optima is probably one of the most feature loaded vehicles you’ll ever come across. It’s got seats that can be cooled or heated, a user friendly infotainment system, a nice sunroof, and a whole lot of other goodies.

But, once you step into the 2016 Nissan Maxima, the Optima feels ancient and we’re not even comparing it with the top end Platinum variant of the Maxima. To begin with, the Maxima’s interiors are, simply, far more tasteful.

The back is roomy enough to convince you that you’re in a classic British or German luxo-barge. The exteriors of the vehicle are outstanding as well. Though, it may not cater to everyone’s taste, there is no denying that the Maxima has more attitude now.

The Maxima is also a big car, but, it doesn’t let the weight or the size hamper its performance. The car is enthusiastic around corners and pretty stable. Of course, there is some mild understeer, due to all the weight being pushed up front. However, things do stay under control as long as you’re under the limits.

Maxima

We saw how much of the 2016 Maxima’s exteriors were based on the Sport Sedan Concept. However, the subtle design cues don’t just end with the exteriors. The 2016 Maxima has borrowed quite a few cues for the interiors as well.

For instance, the instrument cluster and dashboard are, pretty much, identical replicas of the ones found in the concept vehicle. The only difference is that, here, there are actual production features in place, such as the HVAC vents, functional knobs and buttons.

There is a lot going on at the center console as well. You have fixtures such as the start/stop button, more knobs, cup holders, and a new gear shifter. Despite all these fixtures, the Maxima’s interiors still look well organized and very premium.

The center stack is also angled towards the driver up to about 7 degrees. Apparently, this has been inspired by the GT-R’s center stack positioning.  The console gets a touch of luxury as well, with side padding and contrast stitching. This is something you’ll find even on the door and instrument panels.

Nissan’s Zero Gravity seats with bolsters on the side come as standard on the 2016 Maxima. Also, they have 8 and 4-way adjustment options for the driver and passenger, respectively. The seats are also much softer now, thanks to an innovative 3-layer foam design.

On the base models, premium cloth serves as the wrapping material for the seats. On the higher trims, Nissan has used Ascot leather and standard leather. Alcan Tara is also offered as an option for select surfaces in the cabin.
