Benefits of Buying a 2018 Nissan Maxima


When buying a new car, most people look for one that offers exceptional safety, reliability and performance. One vehicle that checks all those boxes is the 2018 Nissan Maxima. The Maxima, which has been in production since 1981, continues to attract drivers today due to its luxurious styling, high safety ratings, advanced technology and lively handling. Here are a few more reasons to get behind the wheel of a 2018 Maxima.

Superb Safety Ratings

The 2018 Nissan Maxima earned a five-star crash test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), making it one of the safest cars in its class.
The Maxima comes with many safety features, such as:
  • ·         Automatic Emergency Braking – Monitors your speed and the distance between you and the vehicle ahead and can automatically apply the brakes to help avoid a collision.
  • ·         Blind Spot Warning – The system alerts you if it detects a vehicle in your blind spot.
  • ·         Nissan Advanced Air Bag System – Includes front air bags with seat belt and occupant-classification sensors, front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags with rollover sensors.
  • ·         Rear Cross Traffic Alert – Warns you of vehicles approaching when you are backing out of a parking space or driveway.

Solid Reliability

The Maxima is considered a reliable vehicle, ranking No. 6 in the large car category by U.S. News and World Report. Every Nissan is backed by 36-month/36,000-mile limited vehicle coverage and a five-year/60,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, so you can feel confident knowing your Maxima will continue running like new for years to come.

Powerhouse Performance

The 2018 Maxima’s 300 horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine packs a lot of punch. By comparison, the 2018 Acura TLX only delivers 290 horsepower, and the 2018 BMW 3 Series only manages 180 horsepower. Combined with Nissan’s XTRONIC CVT® (Continuously Variable Transmission) technology, the Maxima offers smooth, fun-to-drive performance.

Despite its powerful engine, the Maxima stacks up well against the competition when it comes to fuel economy. The EPA rates it at 21/30 mpg city/highway, making it more efficient than the Chevrolet Impala and Kia Cadenza.

Luxurious Features in an Affordable Package

The Maxima is loaded with luxurious features at a more affordable price point than its competitors.
The available quilted seat inserts are crafted from premium leather or Italian-made Alcantara® – a material typically found in high-end performance vehicles. When paired with zero-gravity-inspired front seats designed to keep you in place and reduce fatigue, drivers can expect to experience unmatched interior comfort.

Other available upgrades include:
  • ·         Climate-controlled front seats
  • ·         NissanConnect® Services with SiriusXM® satellite radio, navigation and emergency response capabilities
  • ·         Racing-inspired steering wheel with heating capability
  • ·         Remote engine start system with intelligent climate control

Similar features come standard in the Maxima’s rival – the Infiniti Q50 – but at a higher cost. The 2018 Maxima starts at $33,270 and tops out under $41,000 for the Platinum trim. The base model Q50 starts at $35,500 and rises to a staggering $53,000 for the highest trim level. Drivers who want high-end features without paying luxury prices can find what they are looking for in the 2018 Maxima.

Acura Sport Hybrids | Hybrids That Perform

What Are The Acura Sport Hybrids? The Acura Sport Hybrid system is based on the Acura flagship sports car, the NSX. As with most hybrids, the electric motor is supported by a gas engine that runs on a battery pack that’s charged during normal operation of the gas engine and while regenerative braking. But Acura’s sport-hybrid system takes things to a whole new level. The Acura system combines a powerful V6 engine with a direct-drive electric motor that’s sandwiched between the engine and transmission. It also includes two additional motors that provide more assistance for the rear wheels. The three electric motors allow for torque assist during acceleration and tremendously boosts the horsepower and output of the overall system. The sport-hybrid system is available in three Acura models: the NSX, the RLX sedan and the MDX sport utility vehicle. The Acura NSX features a twin-turbocharged V6 engine, when combined with the electric motors total a powerful 576 horsepower. T...
