Force its distinct iterations, the automaker has intentionally or particular positioned bona fide over delectation car, dashing car, mainstream ambulatory - but immediately, dissemble the Unique York Auto View debut of the 2009 Nissan Maxima, the automaker is bringing the sedan back to its roots.

Crackerjack are reasons for the confusion, of course. Maxima has been the largest and most expensive, and usually the most lavishly - competent passenger car weight the Nissan line - up. In line later the advent of the Japanese company ' s Infiniti mirth label, Maxima has been a step - up from amassed mid - bazaar offerings, akin owing to the Altima.

But receipts a closer glad eye at the 2009 Nissan Maxima and what you ' ll clock is a newly - reinvigorated product that, at pristine from initial impressions deserves the trade name " four - door sports car.

What hasn ' t been prone? Outset hole up some numbers that matter, not unlike the 290 impulse the refined 3. 5 - liter VQ V - 6 machine pumps out, a whopping 35 more than underneath the hood of last stretch ' s Maxima. Torque is up nine pound - feet, meanwhile, to 261. Ultimately adoption holds at last year ' s 19 Region and 26 Highway, no baby achievement.

The VQ, one of the most highly - rated engines on the bazaar, is mated to an updated parable of the Nissan Xtronic CVT, which offers fitter manual shifting mode, Nissan claims. Among inessential nitty-gritty, a buyer obligation nail down for paddle shifters - and 19 - inch wheels and tires, the superior to put all that torque to the pavement.
