If you have dreams of owning a sports car, but you also have a family to consider, a great compromise is the 2017 Nissan Maxima 3.5 S. Dubbed a “four-door sports car†by Edmunds, this model is athletic and dynamic, making it the ideal platform for drivers seeking performance and sedan practicality.
Powering the 2017 Maxima is a 3.5-liter V6 engine that pushes out 300 hp and 261 lb-ft of torque. Paired to a front-wheel drivetrain with a continuously variable transmission, you’ll have no trouble reaching speeds of 60 mph in a quick six seconds. As you lean into turns, the Maxima feels strong and confident providing exceptional grip, while the four-wheel independent suspension remains smooth over road imperfections. As for fuel economy, you can expect an EPA rating of 21/30 mpg city/highway, which is very reasonable for a sedan of this size.
Slip inside and you’ll love the S trim’s styling, which boasts quality materials and soft-touch surfaces for a high-end appeal. Zero Gravity seats with cloth upholstery provide great support, while the dual-zone automatic climate controls and power front seats with eight-way driver adjustments ensure your comfort with every mile. Also standard on this trim are slick 18-inch alloy wheels and an 8-inch touchscreen display with navigation, a rearview camera and Bluetooth.
