Maxima's new look imparts a strong, premium presence.

The next-generation Maxima asserts its stature as Nissan’s flagship sedan with striking design, addictive performance, and a “super cockpit” interior.

Although the 2009 Maxima will still be built on the same D platform as Altima, one look tells you this is a totally different vehicle. The breakthrough design gives Maxima personality and attitude that clearly sets it apart.

Outstanding performance is always a Maxima hallmark, and 2009 Maxima’s acclaimed 3.5-liter VQ V6 engine has been tuned for even greater performance and fuel efficiency. The Xtronic CVT now features a manual shift mode with Drive Sport Mode (DSM) and available paddle shifters to enhance responsiveness and control. The chassis and suspensions are tuned for a performance driving experience that will set Maxima apart from the competition.

Maxima's interior has the feeling of a sports car with controls ergonomically close, yet with ample roominess and comfort for all.

Inside, the “super cockpit” design offers drivers a cockpit feel, with all controls right at hand. Yet the interior also has a spacious feel, with all the latest amenities, such as the available Nissan Hard Drive Navigation System, climate-controlled driver’s seat, and Dual Panel Moonroof.

Get Ready for 2009
