Nissan Maxima Wins AutoPacific 2007 Vehicle Satisfaction Award for Luxury
Mid-Size Car
The Nissan Maxima is the top of the sedan lineup for Nissan providing Nissan buyers with high value, high feature, and luxury transportation. As a car from a mainstream brand, it competes with entries from luxury car divisions. The Nissan Maxima is highly rated for Power/Acceleration, Passenger and Cargo Capacity, and Instrument Layout/Ease of Use. Wheel and Tire Size and Appearance also received high scores.1


 

Maxima’s VQ Engine Receives 2007 Ward’s 10 Best Engines Award
In the words of the writers and editors of Ward’s, the “sublime 3.5L ‘VQ’ V-6 needs no introduction, being that it’s won a 10 Best Engines award each and every year since the competition’s inception in 1995. That the VQ has cemented itself as the dominant V-6 benchmark is without question….”3


 


"With a mix of comfort, newly-available high-tech and luxury features, distinctive styling, and more attitude than your typical family transportation appliance, the two Maxima models, the comfort-oriented SL and sportier SE, can please not only the Maxima faithful, but just about anyone looking for an upscale family sedan."

The Auto Channel, 2006

 


"The Maxima, in its current iteration, wraps a roomy interior with a solid structure, and powers it with Nissan's lovely 3.5-liter VQ35 V6 engine. I've been driving a well-equipped SE for the past week, and have been impressed by its comfort and fine highway manners."

The Auto Channel, 2006

 


"Now that the Nissan Altima has assumed the role of a roomy mid-size sedan, the Maxima has moved up-market to a premium position. The Maxima has become a more specialized product and makes no apologies for what it can't do."
