2009 Nissan Maxima
New York, New York - Nissan North America has unveiled the all-new 2009 Nissan Maxima at the New York International Auto Show. The seventh generation of Nissan's flagship performance sedan features new exterior and interior designs and enhanced performance, and will go on sale in early summer of 2008.
The new exterior design of the new Maxima includes an aggressive stance and powerful fender design, partly resulting from a slight reduction in wheelbase and overall length, along with a wider front and rear track. Inside, the Maxima features a special driver's sport seat, available leather seating, offset shifter lever, "Daylight Illumination" gauges and a wide range of available technology, including a premium audio system, RearView Monitor, Nissan Hard Drive Navigation System with XM NavTraffic, Voice Recognition and a 9.3.-GB Music Box Hard Drive.
The new Maxima uses a 3.5-litre DOHC V6 engine that makes 290 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque, an increase of 35 horsepower and nine lb-ft of torque over the 2008 Maxima engine. All models come with a revised standard Xtronic CVT with manual mode with available paddle shifters, along with a new-for-2009 "Ds" (drive sport) mode.
