Latest Nissan News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
Sharp corners and sudden turns - your commute proves a treacherous thing. Straightaways are rare and the miles aren’t for the timid; and you need a sedan that keep pace with every serpentine change.

Nissan suggests considering its 2018 Maxima.



According to a recent Nissan press release, the 2018 Maxima is primed for Washington’s most fickle roadways. Front and rear stabilizer bars anchor the chassis, ensuring a balanced ride. The suspension boasts sub-frame mounted strut and coil springs, providing smooth handling; while the damper system utilizes a mono-tube design to increase durability (overall friction is lessened and the structure remains in tact). Vented all-wheel power-assisted disc brakes cling to every curve, while the hydro-electric steering column employs speed-sensitive controls to maintain steady traction.

Nissan further enhances capability through its high-strength steel frame - which provides the 2018 Maxima with a lighter, more efficient chassis. This sedan has shed hundreds of pounds and now delivers peerless handling, bringing a speedster sensibility to the mid-size market.

WIth the release of the 2018 Maxima, Seattle drivers can finally achieve the stability they crave - adapting to every corner with ease. To learn more about this sedan contact our team today.

It’s what’s on the inside that counts. This is what the proverbs claim, emphasizing the value of inner-beauty. Nissan thinks this is a very worthy sentiment… but it still chose to deliver a sleek new design for its 2018 Maxima.

Prepare for the next-generation of sedan style.



With the release of the 2018 Maxima, Nissan is redefining the mid-size market. Anchoring the chassis is a V-Motion grille, which pairs a mesh insert with bold black accents. Boomerang headlights showcase the sculpted fenders, while LED daytime strips add a punch of brilliant color. 18-inch aluminum wheels deliver a machine-finished shine; dual exhaust chrome tail-pipe finishers flank the rear; and a floating roofline impresses from every angle, with the B and C pillars given an exclusive blackout treatment to make them less conspicuous. This, when paired with the available dual-panel panoramic glass insert, creates the illusion of a sedan without a ceiling.

Nissan further emphasizes style by issuing a suite of metallic colors for the Maxima - including Brilliant Silver, Deep Blue Pearl, and the brand new Carnelian Red. These shades perfectly complement the black mirror caps and subtle hints of chrome.

Good looks aren’t everything - but they certainly help. Check out the dynamic 2018 Maxima by visiting our dealership today!

Great expectations prove rare within the mid-size market. These slim-framed sedans never inspire thoughts of speed, with drivers instead branding them merely efficient. They’re practical; they’re steady; and they’re meant to deliver everyday value. Performance is pushed to the side.

Nissan thinks this is a poor way to drive - which is why it’s fusing the 2018 Maxima with a class-leading powertrain!



According to a recent press release, the 2018 Maxima defies all sedan conventions. This four-door platform blazes down the Seattle streets, leaving its fellow commuters in the dust. Beneath its hood growls a 3.5L VQ-Series V6, which yields 300 HP and 261 lb.-ft of torque. An XTronic transmission eliminates fixed gear ratios, allowing users to seamlessly shift across every mile; while wide throttle openings provide balanced handling, instantly sensing high-G cornering and maintaining RPM ratios. This lets the car fly down the lane, with its 18-inch aluminum wheels glistening.

To further propel performance, the 2018 Maxima also boasts responsive steering. The column combines hydro-electric power assistance with speed-sensitive controls to optimize handling, enabling drivers to smoothly turn. Even the sharpest curves prove no match for this sedan.

The 2018 Maxima delivers track-worthy performance on the Seattle streets - making it the ultimate option for families and professionals alike. To learn more about this platform contact our team today.

buy a new nissan maxima in seattle washingtonThe 2018 Nissan Maxima wasn’t given its name just because it sounds cool (though you have to admit, it kind of does). No, it earned that title because it is a leader in all things; from power and agility to comfort and luxury, this vehicle excels across the board. This leaves us blog posters with choice overload when trying to decide what features to brag about this time, but after careful thought and deliberation, the interior seemed a good place to start.

Sometimes the little things make a world of difference; with a center console that’s been turned 7° towards the driver’s seat, prepare to be faced with an ergonomic set of switches and knobs that are so intuitive to reach out and use, they’ll make your head spin. But the amount of control doesn’t end there. Access the Remote Engine Start app on your smartphone, and available temperature settings give you Goldilocks-style interior climate for those frigid Seattle winters.

Finding it hard to decide between performance features and luxury? No problem! Sports-styled front seats for high-G cornering prepare you for power, whereas ascot leather upholstery with available Alcantara inserts 
keep things fancy. To top it all off, Nissan’s Zero Gravity tech takes pressure off your lower back and reduces fatigue.

Vroom! This baby can fly. The 2018 Maxima 3.5 S comes standard with a highly capable 3.5L V6. It will send you rocketing along thanks to its tremendous 300 HP and 261-lb.-ft. of torque. Passing power is sensational—it moves from 50 to 70 MPH in only 3.8 seconds, a mark that sets it at the top of its segment. And mileage remains just peachy—you’ll average 21 city / 30 highway.



This Maxima is also a recipient of the IIHS 2018 Top Safety Pick. It received the highest score of “Good” on every crash test the body threw at it. This includes the “moderate overlap front,” “small overlap front,” “side,” “roof strength,” and “head restraints and seats” categories.

The 2018 Nissan Maxima is no average car. The Japanese automaker has absolutely stuffed this sedan with refinements and comprehensive conveniences. It’s a pretty unbelievable mid-size cabin that needs to be experienced.



With the Maxima, you have your choice of either an Ascot/Alcantara simulated suede/leather combination or a full-on treatment of the latter material. Once situated, you’ll quickly notice the express open/close sliding and tilting glass sunroof above. It’ll let in abundant light and a soothing breeze on warm days. And for those times when the weather doesn’t cooperate, the windshield wipers are rain-sensing. They’ll automatically adjust their speed in accordance with the heaviness of the precipitation.



But that’s not all. Maxima provides Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility for your smartphone. The forward-thinking NissanConnect services offer roadside assistance and emergency dialing at a moment’s notice. Additionally, the entire infotainment system can be wielded via the center console’s Display Commander wheel.

Ride through Seattle with a profound peace of mind thanks to the 2018 Nissan Maxima. The sedan will keep you and your passengers immensely secure as a function of the many features and technologies it employs. And trust us, the results bear themselves out in crashworthiness testing.



Nissan designed the 2018 Maxima with a thoughtful application of everything they’ve learned in their more than 80 years of operation. Child safety locks are standard, keeping the little ones securely in place in the rear while traveling. Daytime running lights pop on automatically, illuminating the streets and alerting other motorists to your presence. Electronic stability control plays its part, actively sensing second-to-second the current road conditions and compensating by selectively braking to mitigate slippage. This is all complemented by a bevy of airbags, including front, rear, and side-curtain inflatables.



As you may imagine, these features have led to superlative crashworthiness results at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Nissan’s sedan grabbed the highest score of “Good” in every tested category, including Small Overlap Front, Moderate Overlap Front, Passenger- and Driver-side, Side, Head Restraints & Seats, and Roof Strength.
