Nissan Maxima Generations
For each major redesign, a vehicle is said to begin a new "generation."
The Maxima is offered in two trims: 3.5 S and 3.5 SV. The 3.5-liter V6 engine now features 290-hp. All that power is fed to the front wheels via a continuously variable automatic (CVT) transmission with traction control. Standard safety fare includes; dual-stage front air bags, front-seat side-impact air bags, curtain side-impact air bags for front and rear outboard occupants, front-seat active head restraints, and a tire-pressure monitor.
