Start your engines, Seattle! The 2016 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SR is here to reinvent your opinions on four-door sedans. This car is a serious performer—and we mean that absolutely sincerely. Below, we’re going to take a moment to detail several statistics that we honestly believe will leave you in awe.
The 2016 Maxima 3.5 SR is packed with a 3.5L V6 engine. Things get crazy off the bat because this motor generates 300 horses and 261-lb.-ft. of torque. That’s right—we didn’t commit a typo there. This means the car rockets from 0 all the way to 60 MPH in only 5.7 seconds; it also features a top speed of 135. Surprisingly, however, you’re going to get a sterling MPG rating of 30 highway / 22 city.
The Maxima 3.5 SR also sports a more rigid chassis than most other vehicles in its class, bringing greater handling and acceleration to the table. The trim-exclusive suspension and damper tuning and front stabilizer bar are also standard, providing high-temperature fade resistance. This lends it an almost sports-car-like performance that will have you gushing with glee.
