Nissan’s flagship is the self-proclaimed 4-door sports car we all know well. And over the years, we’ve witnessed its maturity and yes, the loss of its manual transmission. But this all-new 2016 Maxima brings a rejuvenated level of sportiness and refinement to a car with a rich pedigree. Created by driving enthusiasts for driving enthusiasts, the dramatically styled 2016 Nissan Maxima looks like nothing else on the road today — and drives like nothing in the segment. The all-new Nissan flagship not only resets Maxima’s iconic “4-Door Sports Car” positioning, it sets a new standard for style, performance and technology in the large sedan segment. At first, I couldn't’t find it. But there it was, etched into the tail lamp. The iconic 4DSC moniker has moved off the window but remains. What began as a rear-drive Datsun subcompact and small wagon imported from Japan during its first generation in the early 80s has blossomed into this front-drive large midsize sedan built in Tennessee with sport luxury aspirations. Now in its 8th iteration, these Maxima sees an infusion of Murano design, a horsepower increase to an even 300, and a new interior which is the best Nissan has ever delivered. What hasn't’t changed, at least fundamentally, is the engine and transmission. No surprise here, Nissan uses their Series V6 engine, found in no fewer than 8 of their models, sized at 3.5-liters but utilizing 60% new parts facilitating more horsepower and improved mileage. Rated at 22mpg city/30mpg highway and 25mpg combined on recommended premium, these 2016 Maxima sees a 14% mileage improvement while growing over 2” in length and gaining about 20 lbs in this new range-topping Platinum trim. The continuously variable transmission, which Nissan calls Chronic, has all-new shift logic which can hold the engine’s Rpm when it detects spirited driving. It has manual shifting at the gate but no paddle shifters and is paired with a Drive Mode Selector. Maximum torque output of 261 pound-feet at 4,400 RPM remains unchanged. In Sport mode, the high-res 7” cluster display offers a power meter, there are adjustments to the throttle response, transmission tuning and steering feel and Active Sound Enhancement kicks in amplifying the engine note inside the cabin. Though the SR trim is designated for the most performance-oriented Maxima shopper, this luxurious Platinum model balances a forgiving ride quality with decent front-drive dynamics. Even with over 60% of its weight over the front, the Maxima is up for bouts of rambunctiousness mostly resisting torque steer and under steer tendencies that could present themselves in a powerful car of this setup. These new Continental grand touring tires, sized at a modest 18”, seem nosier than I would expect but provide the mix of softness and grip a car like this deserves. It’s certainly quick enough with a 0-to-60mph time of 6 seconds, but this Maxima is far better at its relaxed duties than its athletic endeavors. The Maxima Platinum...
