Other interior features include illuminated steering wheel controls, available factory-installed satellite radio and available Bluetooth ® Hands-free Phone System. The seats offer large shoulder bolsters and a sporty sew pattern, with a sliding centre armrest for comfort and utility. The instrument panel features a centre stack with quality feel and control ergonomics and a Fine Vision Meter gauge display for easy readability, all of which make for an intuitive, cockpit-like interior.Ĭomfort and convenience features include standard Intelligent Key and auxiliary input jack and available 6-disc in-dash CD autochanger with mp3 capability. Maxima’s interior boasts a high level of quality, luxury and sportiness to match the unique exterior. Maxima’s dynamic performance stance is accented by 17-inch (3.5 SL) and 18-inch (3.5 SE) 7-spoke aluminum-alloy wheels.
Other exterior features include aggressive side sills and a prominent rear spoiler (standard on 3.5 SE), a dynamic rear bumper design with available Rear Sonar System and dual tailpipe finishers. HID xenon headlights are optional on all models. The headlights include built-in cornering lights, while the fog lights sit just below, on the front bumper. Maxima’s front grille, hood, bumper and headlights give the front end a contemporary appearance, balancing the sporty look of the deep front valance and large wheel openings. “Maxima continues as a great performance sedan at a great value, just as it has for the generation of sporty Maximas that have come before.”
“Maxima offers the best Nissan has to offer, including stylish design, exhilarating driving performance and user-friendly technology,” said Ian Forsyth, Director, Product Planning, Nissan Canada Inc. The 2007 model updates, all of which carry over to 2008, included a redesigned exterior, a greatly refined interior, the addition of new, available technology features and the adoption of the smooth, efficient Nissan Xtronic CVT™ (Continuously Variable Transmission) as standard equipment. The 2008 Nissan Maxima continues its position as the flagship of the Nissan lineup, carrying the numerous enhancements and refinements from the last model year, when the Maxima received extensive styling, performance and amenity enhancements.
