Nissan will reveal the updated for 2019 Maxima at
the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show, boasting a refreshed exterior look and more
safety kit. The company didn’t go into specifics with its announcement, giving us
just one image of the 2019 Maxima and saying that it will be available with
Nissan Safety Shield 360 safety suite. The latter includes six safety and
driver-assist systems.
From the single image we can see that the updated
Nissan Maxima is getting a redesigned front bumper with different fog lights,
as well as a refreshed headlight design that incorporates LEDs. Expect similar
revisions at the rear, along with the obligatory new wheel designs.
All current Maxima models come equipped with a
3.5-liter V6 that kicks out 300hp and 261lb-ft of peak torque and is bolted to
an Xtronic CVT gearbox, which is the only transmission option. Nissan’s update measures may
include a new infotainment system with improved software (current models come
with an 8-inch unit), as well as new trim and color options. Earlier this
March, Nissan North America’s Vice President said that the Maxima “has a very
important role” to play in the company’s lineup.
The Japanese car maker says that their refreshed
flagship sedan will go on sale this December.
