Nissan has high expectations with its new 2016 Maxima as being sporty and elegant alternative to cars such as the Chevrolet Impala, Ford Taurus, Hyundai Azera, and Toyota Avalon.

The company's best sedan enters its seventh generation for 2016, proving to be the longest progressive nameplate in Nissan's United State showrooms, Left Lane reported.

The new Maxima model is somehow a tweener according to the modern standards. Conventionally, it is a large sedan, comparable to the Ford Tauruses and Chevy Impalas of the world, but practically the car is an over-created midsize.

The lustrous sedan appears great both from the inside and out, Detroit Free Press reported. The outside styling depicts an outlook of the new Murano SUV with Nissan's recent energetic flow strategy theme.

Sweeping horizontal lines, flared fenders and black A-, B-, and C-pillars that offer the roof a cockpit design-floating look mark the sedan structure.

The interior of the Nissan Maxima has many soft touch materials and details as tufted leather fabric and actual embroidery in drawl color. The car has an 8-inch standard tool touchscreen, a backup camera, and a movement system.

The car's susceptible 3.5L V6 has been improved to offer 300 horsepower. For the 2016 model, 60 percent of the engine parts have a new design.

The new model's EPA fuel usage is rated 22 m.p.g. in the city, 30 on the highway, and 25 when the two are combined, providing the highest collaboration rating in the model. A clear shortcoming as compared to most competitors is that the Maxima Nissan runs on premium gasoline.

The car's continuously variable automatic transmission is smooth and responsive.
