Nissan is the originator of one of the stiffest
sources of competition in the full-size sedan class
- the Maxima Sedan. This vehicle has been around
for many years, and the new 2002 line up brings
with it an increase in engine power and the addition
of even more luxuries to what was already a superior
all-around package.
The Maxima is meant to be a near luxury
midsize sedan with ample power (all have V6s), room,
and handling, all at a reasonable price. The Maxima
offers more power (32 more horsepower), more interior
room (2.7 cubic foot gain overall, which translates
to back seats that are quite usable even for 6 footers
when the front seat is all the way back), better
ergonomics (totally new interior, and check out
those new gauge lights at night!), a quieter, smoother
ride (30% better torsional rigidity), and with a
1 mile per gallon decrease in mileage (the engine
now meets Low-Emission Vehicle standards and weighs
175 pounds more!)
