If you’ve been considering the Acura TLX or the Ford Fusion as your next vehicle, but haven’t been overly swayed by either platform, consider test driving a 2014 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SV. This preowned sedan delivers a refined interior and fantastic performance – it’ll win you over for sure!
Â
Under the hood, the 2014 Maxima is bolstered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 290 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque. Offered in front-wheel drive with a continuously variable transmission, fuel economy on this model is set at 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, which is quite good for a vehicle of this size. But where the Maxima shines is its get-up-and-go. In performance tests by Edmunds, the sedan only took 6.2 seconds to accelerate from zero to 60 mph. You might as well consider the Maxima a four-door sports car with specs like that!
Â
Inside its well-equipped cabin, the SV trim is filled to the brim with a number of high-class features, including leather upholstery and an upgraded driver seat with extendable thigh support and a power lumbar. A sunroof and dual-zone automatic climate controls will always ensure that your passengers are comfortable, plus there is a rearview camera and keyless ignition/entry system for your convenience. On the exterior, the Maxima absolutely dazzles with its 18-inch alloy wheels, xenon headlights, and foglights. It really is a showstopper.
