2018
Nissan Intelligent Mobility guides everything we do. We’re using new technologies to transform cars from
mere driving machines into assistants. Together the journey is more confident, connected, and exciting.
Whether it’s cars that assist in the driving task, or highways that charge your EV as you go along, it’s all in
the very near future. And it’s a future already taking shape in the Nissan you drive today.

MAXIMA® SR: AN
ENTHUSIAST’S WISH LIST
A BOLDER RIDE THROUGH LIFE Nissan Intelligent
Mobility connects you to your drive like never before.
You’ll make every move with greater awareness and
get a little help when you need it most. In some cases,
it even reinvents things – like the way you park. All of this
gives you more confidence and, ultimately, the freedom
to embrace the joy of being behind the wheel. This is how
driving was always supposed to be.
Start with 19" machine-finished
aluminum-alloy wheels, and a unique
sport-tuned suspension with advanced
dynamic technologies. Add in a special
interior with Premium Ascot Leather
appointments, Alcantara® inserts on the
seats and steering wheel, and “Liquid
Chrome” faceted interior trim. The result –
a driving experience that’s exhilarating
in every sense of the word.
CUSTOMIZED PERFORMANCE
With legendary VQ V6 power under your right foot, a
next-generation CVT to keep you in the meat of the
powerband, and a sport-tuned suspension to hunt
down corners, Maxima is a driver’s dream come true.
And with the standard Drive Mode Selector, you can
switch between sport sedan and luxurious cruiser at
the touch of a button.
