Nissan Maxima

摘要

The 2016 Nissan Maxima is either too big or too small, depending on what segment you place it in. But whether seen as a big midsize car or a small large car, the Maxima provides a strong exterior design, a luxurious interior, and the best use of a CVT around. Its performance numbers are also impressive. The Maxima went 0-60 in 5.7 seconds and completed the quarter mile in 14.2 seconds with a trap speed of 100.5 mph. The performance numbers are important for a carthat proclaims to be a four-door sports car, old Maxima marketing-speak Nissan has long championed. "I love the fact that it has 300 horsepower and all that torque (261 Ib-ft)," Lieberman said of Nissan's 3.5-liter V-6. "The Maxima also has the best CVT on the market, full stop." But Lieberman wasn't as effusive with praise for its interior, especially noting the nav system's old map software. Other editors approved of the car's leather-encased interior and ample second row.
