Nissan
Sport Sedan Concept
Nissan
unveiling something that should set the tone of the upcoming redesigned Maxima.
What we think is the basis for the next Maxima, was revealed at the 2014 North
American International Auto Show in Detroit as the Nissan Sport Sedan Concept.
The
new concept has many of the new styling language found in the Nissan brand
while it sports 4-doors giving us the indications of being the next Maxima. For
a while, the Nissan Maxima received a lot of flak for retaining the ‘4-door
sports car’ moniker. It is possible, by the looks alone, that the new Nissan
Sport Sedan Concept could capture that nomenclature so consumers and
enthusiasts alike won’t give Nissan such a hard time about calling what we see
here a 4-door sports car.
This
Nissan Sport Sedan Concept is said to be powered by a 300-horsepower 3.5-liter
V6 mated to a CVT transmission. That layout is all-too familiar to what we
already see in current Nissan products. We are not so sure a CVT transmission
belongs in a 4-door sports car, though Nissan could do away with that old
classification. Though, we fail to find the sportiness in any CVT transmission.
However, this concept does look pretty awesome and you could easily call it
sporty.
The
Nissan Sport Sedan Concept was created by Nissan Design America in San Diego,
California and developed at the Nissan Global Design Center in Atsugi, Japan.
