Not only can we celebrate the fact the Nissan Maxima has been saved for another generation, but now we can buy this awesome sports sedan in a Midnight Edition. Since the US is the largest market for this car it’s certainly understandable we would see this version of the Maxima. A blacked out car seems to be highly attractive to us here in America and I certainly can attest to this new 2016 Nissan Maxima showing up in grand fashion, elegant styling and showing off a bit of a sinister look with its blacked out appearance.
What is inside the Midnight Edition of the Maxima? This new edition is based on the SR trim level which already has leather and Alcantara components, a sport suspension, 19-inch wheels and LED headlights. If this was all you would get in this version of the Maxima it might be enough, but the Midnight Edition has to be more than just black in color and comfortable, it needs to have several other great features as well. This new edition has a blacked out interior and exterior that includes the use of Super Black exterior paint, charcoal colored leather trim, an interior full of Alcantara inserts, a rear spoiler, more aggressive rocker panel moldings , a chrome rear bumper diffuser, splash guards and blackened aluminum wheels.
As for the power of this new edition, it retains the SR level 3.5-liter 300 horsepower V6 engine which is attached to a continuously variable transmission. This CVT is actually attached to all versions of the Nissan Maxima. Even though most of the time using a front-wheel drive car with a CVT is not a recipe for a sports car, Nissan seems to have this formula down pat; providing the Maxima with plentiful power and the ability to be a great sports sedan.
As one of the top level cars in the Nissan lineup the Maxima makes a great choice for anyone looking for a sedan that has good power and drivability. The expected starting price will come in around $33,235 with the upgrade packages for the SR starts at $38,495. This Midnight Edition of the car is expected to be a hot seller in many communities and has found a special way to unveil this beauty to the world by showcasing it at the BET Experience which targets a major buying audience.
The Nissan Maxima nearly found its way to the pile of extinct vehicles, but with strong support from the project chiefs at Nissan the Maxima is expected to sell well in the US with the new generation. Having a Midnight Edition to add to the lineup only enhances the attraction to the Nissan Maxima for 2016. After you see this beauty showcased at the BET Experience you can visit your local Nissan dealer to order your new Midnight Edition Maxima. As an awesome sports sedan this car gives us some of the best of both worlds; power and the ability to haul the family wherever they need to go.
