Where've all the Cowboys er.. Sedans gone? 2019 Nissan Maxima

In a world of sport utility vehicles and trucks, there are few sedans that still stand out. The 2019 Nissan Maxima is one of those sedans. It’s been called the 4-door sports sedan, and after spending some time with it, I see why. For starters, lets take a look on the inside. The 2019 Maxima SR model adds the paddle shifters, a Bose audio system and sporty orange stitching around the seats.

With all this smooth, sleek awesomeness going on inside the interior, expect nothing less on the exterior of the Maxima. New for 2019 is a more boomerang-shaped Jeweled LED headlight shape, deeper V-Motion grille and small fog lights. Around the back are newly designed taillights, Quad exhaust and a black sporty rear spoiler.

Although there are a few changes with the new 2019 Maxima, under the hood, Nissan sticks with the standard 3.5-liter V6 making 300 horsepower and 261 pound-feet of torque, mated to the same CVT transmission and sport-tuned steering, brakes and suspension. Why mess with a good thing?

All in all, the 2019 Nissan Maxima deserves a hard look if you’re looking for a sedan that fits and feels like a sports car, with Safety Tech information systems and head turning curb appeal!
