About Nissan Maxima
The eighth-generation Maxima was unveiled at the April 2015 New York Auto Show. Sporting an athletic body redesign, Nissan calls it a “four-door sports car”, a marketing term also used on the third generation J30 series (1988-1992). The Nissan Sport Sedan Concept shown in the 2014 Detroit Auto Show previewed the exterior design of the vehicle. The vehicle is 82 pounds lighter than before, with a revamped interior taking inspiration from aerospace.
The VQ35DE engine was carried over with minor updates and 10 hp (7.5 kW) more power, now rated at 300 hp (224 kW) and 261 lb⋅ft (354 N⋅m) of torque. The Maxima is available with nine exterior color options and five trim levels: S, SV, SL, SR, and Platinum. There was also an SR Midnight Edition that was introduced in 2016. The Midnight Edition blacked out most chrome (Grille, rims, rear chrome, exhaust tips, etc.) and added a more sporty appearance to the Maxima. The Midnight Edition was discontinued after the 2018 model year. For the 2021 model year a 40th Anniversary edition is available with unique Ruby Slate Grey Pearl paint, black exterior & interior trim, black wheels, 40th Anniversary floor mats & exterior badge and a unique white face gauge cluster.
