"Here Comes The Sun" Maxima 4 Door Sports Car

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - April 21, 2015 - PRLog -- Mathews Nissan Celebrates The 2016 Nissan Maxima, the brand's flagship product and signature "4-Door Sports Car," with Award Winning Sales Events on NINE Nissan Models.... Stay tuned for the Big Maxima 'Showroom' Party at Mathews Nissan.

Nissan's Smyrna Vehicle Assembly Plant continues its reign as the top-producing automotive plant in North America, as Gov. Bill Haslam, U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander and Tennessee Economic and Community Development Commissioner Randy Boyd joined plant employees to celebrate the start of production for the all-new 2016 Nissan Maxima.

"When Nissan came to Tennessee more than 30 years ago, there were almost no auto jobs in the state," said Alexander. "Three decades later, about one-third of our manufacturing jobs are auto related, auto suppliers have located in 80 counties, and our family incomes are higher. I want to thank Nissan for providing opportunities for thousands of talented Tennesseans."

8 things you might not know about the all-new 2016 Maxima:

Angelic Inspiration: To design the new-generation Maxima, Nissan designers visited the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels®*. The cockpit design of their aircraft is echoed in the wrap-around design of the Maxima's. Externally, Maxima is lowered, sculpted and streamlined to achieve a sweeping aerodynamic profile that has more than a little jet fighter to it. To bring all this inspiration to life, a special metal stamping technique was developed, adding the distinctive powerful gesture to its bodyline and deeply scalloped doors.

By the Numbers: The new 8th generation Maxima is longer, lower, lighter and tighter than the previous generation design – all numbers that enhance the sports car side of 4DSC – 2.2 inches longer, 1.3 inches lower, 82 pounds lighter and 25 percent more torsional rigidity.

HP/MPG: Speaking of numbers, here are a few more improvements versus the previous generation: horsepower +10 (to 300 hp), new engine parts 61% (including cylinder head design, piston surfacing, piston rings, sodium-filled exhaust valves, oil pan) and highway MPG + 4 (anticipated to increase to 30 mpg**, EPA numbers not yet available). A couple of other numbers – at 85.7 horsepower/liter, Maxima achieves a high specific output (HP/L) and better power-to-weight ratio than a BMW 335i or Acura TLX V6.***

Sounds Like Max Spirit: If a 2016 Maxima drives through the forest on a favorite winding road, and no one except the driver is there, what does it sound like? Quiet and quite amazing. Maxima's luxury-level interior quietness is enabled by the application of laminated glass, not only on the windshield but also on the front door windows, while an Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) system works much like noise cancelling headphones to help reduce unpleasant low-frequency sounds. Amazing New Active Sound Enhancement (ASE)

Textural Messaging: When creating the new Maxima's interior, the design team sought to ignite the senses – so they added premium touches and touchpoints throughout including three unique "faceted" trim treatments (Razor Steel, Liquid Chrome and Mahogany wood tone), diamond-quilted seat inserts and genuine stitching on the instrument panel, doors and console. The D-shaped steering wheel on Maxima SR even has an Alcantara® insert, because the road shouldn't be the only thing you feel behind the wheel.

How About A Coffee: Maxima Platinum models offers an available Driver Attention Alert (DAA) system****, which alerts the driver when drowsy or inattentive driving is detected. DAA monitors steering input patterns (using steering angle sensors) and if it detects driving behavior consistent with a drowsy driver, the system uses an audible chime sound and displays the amber coffee cup with a message reading, "Take a break?" in the vehicle's information display.

Who's the Emboss: Look closely at the new Maxima's headlights and side taillight reflectors and you might notice something extra – embossed "4DSC" logos. Best viewed by others when parked.

Max Plant: The 2016 Maxima is assembled at Nissan's advanced Smyrna, Tennessee facility – which in calendar year 2014 produced more vehicles (648,000) than any other automotive plant in North America. Maxima engines are assembled in nearby Decherd, Tennessee.

"With today's launch, Nissan and Tennessee begin another chapter in their long and successful partnership defined by high quality vehicles and the innovation of its workforce," said Haslam. "We want to thank Nissan for continuing to invest here, helping build Tennessee's reputation as a leading automotive manufacturing state."

"Today's launch of the all-new Maxima is the beginning of an exciting year for Nissan's U.S. line-up, with new versions of the Altima, Sentra and TITAN due later this year," said John Martin, Nissan's senior vice president, Manufacturing, Supply Chain Management and Purchasing. "New models produced at our U.S. plants in Smyrna, Tennessee and Canton, Mississippi helped to propel Nissan to nearly 1.4 million sales in the U.S. in 2014, and vehicles like the all-new Maxima will help us eclipse that record this year."
