Are you seeking a sedan that will deliver maximum enjoyment on Seattle’s roads? The 2017 Nissan Maxima wasn’t called its name because it’s boring! This four-door sports car has been tuned for total exhilaration, boasting powerful performance with fast accelerations.
Â
Under the hood, the base level Maxima is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine that’s anything but basic. It generates a wild 300 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque, galloping up to 60 mph in approximately six seconds flat. Mated to a continuously variable transmission, the Maximais quite fuel-efficient for its powertrain and size, fetching an EPA-rating of 21 mpg city and 30 mpg highway.
Â
Steering is managed by a rack-pinion system, which handles tight corners and curves with gusto. With a fully independent front strut and rear multi-link suspension, as well as disc brakes, the Maxima conducts itself extremely well when the road turns from flat and straight, to hilly and bendy. Your morning commutes will make you feel like you are spending your day on the track.
Â
Inside, the Maxima’s interior will impress with wood trim details, a driver-focused cockpit and sporty flat-bottomed steering wheel. There’s also an 8.0-inch touchscreen with navigation, Bluetooth audio streaming, and two USB ports, as well as power-adjustable driver and passenger seats.Â
