If you consider yourself a sports car enthusiast, but still have a foot in practicality, a 2016 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SR might just be the sedan for you. This model offers the exhilarating on-road dynamics that you love, but with a sensible four-door design to suit the needs of your family.
Â
In fact, Nissan designed the SR with the specific purpose of pushing the Maxima’s performance boundaries further than ever before. It features exclusive hardware not found on lower trims, including unique suspension damper tuning and a larger front stabilizer bar. Monotube rear dampers, which provide better high-temperature fade resistance, are standard too, thus helping the sedan compete with other higher-end sports cars.
Â
The 2016 Maxima SR is also engineered with a Performance Chassis Damper, which suppresses high-frequency vibration in the body that can result from a stiffer suspension. A similar damper is used on the high-performance Nissan 370Z NISMO. Inside, the special Alcantara seating inserts hug your body with each twist and turn, while the Alcantara steering wheel insert offers high-grip at key touch points.Â

From the outside in, the Maxima SR feels sleek, performance-driven, and authoritative, making it the ideal four-door sports car for the road or track – and maybe even the carpool line.
