Vehicle Summary

For 2007, Nissan gave the Maxima a new grille, hood, bumper and headlights — in short, nearly everything in front of the A-pillars. The sheet metal made the car look much more menacing than the model it replaced, but its bark is worse than its bite.

A Platinum Edition package of convenience features is added for 2008 on both SE and SL trim levels.  Read more
