Practicality often defines the large sedan market, but the 2016 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SR is changing that notion. Instead of offering demure acceleration and sensible performance, the Maxima breaks the mold with its sport-tuned responses and dynamic control, offering a track-worthy finish as you tackle Seattle's streets.
Â
Bolstered by a 300-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine, the Maxima drives more like a four-door sports car than a sedan. It throws down 261 lb-ft of torque, while its performance-oriented Xtronic transmission with manual shift mode, D-Step logic and sport tuning, allows drivers to engage with the road.Â
Â
For 2016, the Maxima also features a lighter, yet more rigid chassis, bringing sports car-like acceleration and handling to the segment. The 3.5 SR goes from 0 to 60 in just 5.7 seconds and makes its way up to a top speed of 135 mph in a flash, proving the Maxima is not your ordinary sedan.
