A Japanese that wants to put in place several American and European size. The Maximum has been marketed in the Mexican market for nearly 20 years with an excellent acceptance. The wait for the Nissan Maxima over, encentra be available in dealerships Mexican brand since last Sept. 25 as it was presented at the autoshow in New York last, so very few have been fortunate to manage in Spain.
First of all I must clarify that I consider myself the target of a sedan like this, well except for a Nissan GT-R, a Mitsubishi Evo or a Subaru WRX STI, nearly always prefer a car on a European East, the Japanese are probably the ones with the best technology, but Europeans are more comfortable with the quality of its interiors and building materials. So in this article I'll talk to him breaking all the fears and stigma.
Maxima's new flagship sedan for the brand really, as in the domestic market
has been marketed for nearly 20 years with an excellent acceptance and the seventh generation will certainly not be the exception to the rule. Its design is very arrogant and muscular with the new platform "D" and its similarity to the sister brand in the luxury segment, Infiniti. Even engineers have called "liquid motion" (liquid motion), highlighting the L-shaped headlights, wide grille and side panels clean. In the front - especially in light xenon headlights - Follows the features of the sportiest of its brethren, the GT-R, but with a touch conservative. The sides are clean, highlighting the flared fenders to cover the huge soft 19-inch wheels of the Sport (Model Tracking the holder of 18). It's funny because if we look from above, we will find a seductive feminine silhouette slimming in the middle.
But not everything is hunky-dory, and that because the rear lacked a
May or attached to the brand identity and more after seeing the grand style of the front. The skulls, despite incorporating 12 LEDs each, have a sober and do not stop to combine with the modest spoiler located on the upper trunk and twin exhaust pipes. Its dimensions are reflected in comfort, to be a vehicle so large comfort is evident in the interior spaces, giving passengers a very pleasant on long trips and much more if it is a city dweller use, ideal for travel in the back while someone drives by you. The leather seats are heated, detail a bit strange in a car of this nature but this way eliminates the temptation to ride in the front.
As spectacular r
equipping this car for nearly half a million dollars does not disappoint. As in most of the sedans in this segment, the intelligent key presence and just have it stored in a pocket to be recognized. BOSE audio system with nine speakers, - characteristic of the brand - with six-disc, MP3 auxiliary input, the control air conditioning with automatic dual-zone is a first for the second driver and front passenger as well as vents in the rear. It's amazing that with Japan's capital of technology does not have a navigation system, even a few dollars above the price that the American Lincoln MKS, which already has it. Safety is something that can not be left behind, except when you pay $
431.700 the version Trucking or 450.600 USD yes it is the Sport; to enforce your money this seventh-generation Maxima has air bags dual-stage front with advanced detection occupant side front seat and curtain airbags, in addition to has dynamic stability control in the event of understeer and oversteer, and traction control and used to prevent loss of grip on the wheels. Coupled with previous systems, in the familiar appears brakes, ABS, brake assist system and the electronic distribution of it. Many technology on paper, but turn to put it into practice.
The engine is a 3.5-liter V6 VQ35 technically called, which generates 290 hp and 2
61 lb.-ft. of torque, showing a significant increase of 35 hp and 9 lb / ft compared to the sixth generation thanks to a higher rate compression, a variable induction of air into the engine, electronic throttle control with Drive by wire system and time control system variable valve timing (CVTCS). The transmission complements the drivetrain is an X-tronic CVT with six-speed manual mode which, when continuously variable improves performance, reduces fuel consumption and therefore reduces emissions. also has a Sport mode automatic or paddle on the steering wheel (S version
port) to enjoy more of their sportsmanship. We found that when you hit the throttle in automatic mode, the Torque Steer is really noticeable around the 4,000 rpm as CVT is a feeling in the steering wheel that lasts longer than a car with automatic transmission ordinary . By contrast, when handled with manual mode performs much better, really counts are accurate both in ascending or descending and you take all the "juice" the engine, enough to carry your weight 1.647 kg 0 to 100 km / hr in 6.2 seconds, a figure very reasonable if we consider that this is a four-door that measures 4.843 mm long, with a wheelbase of 2.775 mm, 1.180 mm wide and 1.467 high. And that it took about 10 centimeters compared to the previous version.
Maxima sedan is a very comprehensive fulfills its purpose through the development of technology, comfort and smooth ride but I dare say I expected a bit more aggressive image because of their sportsmanship and their DNA shared with the GT-R.

merely sufficient for everyday use to be comfortable and roomy for four people in every way, but to require a bit more features considerable tendency to understeer, ie to be in front when cornering at high speeds. But obviously this is not a sport, we know that, although his desire to cope with cars like the Mercedes - Benz C class and BMW 3 Series Sport lacks the touch of Europeans, at least in management and not be a rear-wheel drive vehicle, shared features in most cars for the American market where the endless lines rarely have blemishes. The Last Samurai came in a dull moment for the Mexican market, rising gasoline prices and large engines tend to disappear, so we wish her success thanks to its 3.5-liter heart, powerful ciando is required and cautious in terms of CO2 emissions, the perfect car for a country that operates under the influence of fashion.
