USA - The New Nissan Maxima sedan is available now, crammed full of tech and luxury.

Dramatically styled "4-Door Sports Car" lands in Nissan showrooms with 300 horsepower, jet fighter-inspired interior and $32,410 starting M.S.R.P.*

The wait is over. After its buzz-generating debut at the recent New York International Auto Show, the 2016 Maxima has arrived at Nissan dealerships nationwide. As Nissan's flagship sedan, the all-new eighth-generation design takes the company's best-known nameplate into new territory with its boldest styling, most powerful engine and highest level of available safety and connected technology features yet.

"Following on the highly successful launch of the all-new Nissan Murano, the new 2016 Maxima is hitting showrooms with tremendous momentum," said Fred Diaz, senior vice president, Sales & Marketing, Parts & Service, U.S.A, Nissan North America, Inc. 

"With its winning combination of style, technology and driving excitement, we see it appealing to both the large number of previous Maxima owners and buyers considering vehicles from luxury brands. We've proven Maxima can go tire-to-tire on the track. We think we can do it in the showroom as well."

A 2016 Nissan Maxima SR recently posted the lowest average lap time in independent third-party testing at Buttonwillow Raceway against the 2015 Acura TLX 3.5 (FWD) with Technology Package, 2015 Audi A4 2.0T quattro® Premium Plus Tiptronic and 2015 BMW 328i sedan**.

Along with burnishing its longstanding reputation as the "4-Door Sports Car," the new 2016 Maxima embodies the latest Nissan design language and projects a distinctive upscale look through its unique combination of a lower profile and a wide stance, bold front end, Nissan signature V-Motion grille and floating roof appearance. The new Maxima also features a premium-crafted interior, anchored by a command central fighter jet-inspired driver's cockpit, that rivals luxury vehicles.

All 2016 Maximas feature a revised 300-horsepower 3.5-liter VQ-series V6 engine and new performance-oriented Xtronic transmission. The comprehensive re-engineering effort also results in a 15 percent increase (over the previous generation Maxima) in highway fuel economy to 30 miles per gallon***.

Maxima's next-generation technology features include standard NissanConnect^SM with navigation and available 11-speaker Bose® premium audio system, NissanConnect^SM Services powered by SiriusXM® (SiriusXM subscription required, sold separately) and Around View® Monitor (AVM) with Moving Object Detection (MOD).

The 2016 Maxima is available in five well-equipped models (all equipment is grade standard, no available options): Maxima S, SV, SL, SR and Platinum. It is assembled in Smyrna, Tennessee, with engines assembled in Decherd, Tennessee.

The new Maxima starts with a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices (MSRP) of $32,410 for Maxima S. The Maxima SV is $34,390, while the Maxima SL is $36,890. The sporty Maxima SR is priced at $37,670 and the top-of-the-line Maxima Platinum is $39,860.

• Press conference also highlights Nissan's ongoing support of the Heisman Trophy Trust's charitable efforts

Nissan brought a splash of brass and color to the Los Angeles Auto Show today during a press conference featuring the debut of two new vehicles, the launch of a unique vehicle personalization program and an appearance by local Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Allen.

Sharing center stage at the Nissan display were the all-new 2015 Nissan Murano crossover, making its official debut in full production trim, and the revised Nissan JUKE sport cross.

"While Murano has always stood out from ordinary crossovers with its refined yet daring and futuristic design, this new third-generation design kicks it up tremendously with concept car-like styling, a premium interior and advanced, purposeful technology," said Fred Diaz, senior vice president, Nissan Sales & Marketing and Operations U.S., Nissan North America, Inc. 

"Less than two years ago this vehicle was turning heads at auto shows as the Resonance Concept. 

In just a few weeks from now, buyers will be able to drive this stunning all-new Murano home."

The new 2015 Nissan JUKE sport cross features a revised exterior and enhanced standard equipment – with a starting M.S.R.P.* announced today of $20,250. While keeping its same dimensions and aggressive stance as previous years, the 2015 JUKE offers a fresh front end look with its new projector beam headlights and LED front Signature Accent Lamps, while the redesigned rear fascia features a more aggressive shape to match the revised boomerang taillights with LED accents.

New standard JUKE features include Nissan Intelligent Key® with Push Button Start, RearView Monitor and NissanConnectSM with Mobile Apps, Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, Streaming audio via Bluetooth®, and Hands-free Text Messaging Assistant. 

Three new exterior colors are offered for 2015 – Super Black and hard-to-ignore Solar Yellow and Cosmic Blue.

"JUKE owners have always enjoyed standing out from the crowd and getting noticed," said Diaz. "And now we're adding an entirely new dimension of personalization with the unique JUKE ‘Color Studio' program. Color changes everything."

The JUKE "Color Studio" gives JUKE buyers and owners the ability to personalize both the exterior and interior with a range of "color packs" to change the look and feel of the vehicle. For example, new accessory 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels are available with color inserts to match or contrast the body color. 

Special color accents can also be applied to the outside rearview mirror caps, side sills, rear roof spoiler and door handles. Interior color packs will be offered for the door trim and other elements. Eight colors are available – including red, white, black, yellow, electric blue and purple – and a total of 12 accessories.

Nissan also features past Heisman Trophy winners in its popular "Heisman House" and "Heisman House Tour" marketing campaigns. The 2014 Heisman Trophy will be presented December 13th in New York City.

"Nissan is proud to partner with the Heisman Trust in their longstanding charity efforts and looks forward to continuing our association for many years to come," added Diaz.
