If you’re unsure which sedan currently on the market is right for you, might we suggest the Maxima? Nissan’s machine is a car that packs a ton of performance into a mid-size daily driver. Today, we want to detail a few key aspects of the 2016 3.5 SR model.
At the heart of the 2016 Maxima 3.5 SR is a 3.5L VQ-series V6 engine. Whatever numbers you think it produces, well, let’s just say you’re probably underestimating. That’s because it pushes out 300 horses and 261-lb.-ft of torque. Fuel economy is spectacular at an average of 22 city / 30 highway. And the use of an Active Sound Enhancement System makes the noise of the motor even more stellar.
Also of note: the aluminum sport pedals and paddle shifters on this model. Once you push the selector into manual mode, you’ll be able to use either of the aforementioned options to operate the Maxima. You can maneuver the paddles behind the wheel or move the shifter up and down, adding a thrilling dynamic to your daily drive.
