The 2009 Nissan Maxima, which makes its debut today at the NY Autoshow, will offer XM NavTraffic as a standard, factory-installed
feature when equipped with Nissan's Hard Drive Navigation system.All XM NavTraffic equipped models come with a 3-month complimentary subscription.
XM NavTraffic is available on Nissan Murano, Armada, Altima, Altima Coupe, Altima Hybrid, and Pathfinder, as part of packages equipped with a navigation system. NavTraffic will soon be available on the 2009 GT-R. And don't forget that XM is now standard on all Infiniti vehicles.
XM and Nissan announced their long-term data services agreement back in 2005.
The 2009 Nissan Maxima interior (pictured below) has been dubbed the "Super Cockpit" by Nissan's design team, and also features a number of technologies (in addition to the Hard Drive nav system with XM NavTraffic) including a RearView Monitor, Voice Recognition and 9.3GB Music Box Hard Drive.
This is a great car people..
Is it still FWD? Why get this over a v6 Altima?
I dont know how I feel about that interior. There are just too many buttons in too many places for my liking.
"Why get this over a v6 Altima?"
Or G35, for that matter.
Comparing a front-drive Altima to a rear-drive G35 is apples and oranges.
This baby is smooth.. You can hear yourself breathing even when you run it fast..
Just test drive it and you will see what I mean! (At least the previous model is but I am sure this will blow your mind too)
I wish the screen was no set so far back. I would think it would be more difficult to see.
the headlights are fucken gay sort of like the new focus
I would love to get back into another Maxima (I miss my old one) , especially this newly resigned one. It is strikely beautiful...THIS is a car!!! I almost woke my husband up out of his deep sleep, just so that he could see the commericial. I used to own a 2000 5 speed GXE, before I had my daughter. I sold it and got a familymobile (2004 Pacifica); totally missed my Maxima (made me sad everytime I saw one like mine). I absolutely loved that car. When I was on driving on the road, especially the interstate, it was like no other car was on the road but me and didn't mind a little road challenge every now and again either; iIt had great pickup and style. That was one smooth ride. The Maxima is a strong, handsome car (just like a man :)) and a sure 'noug head-turner. My husband and I are about to buy a 2009 and I am anxiously anticipating to see if I can get him to buy THIS car, instead of the Acura TL or any other car for that matter. This is the car for 2009.
Wow...wow...this is such a beauuutiful vehicle, i can definetly sell my BMW to buy a Maxima 2009!!!
I've never like Altima's. They look cheap. I've always like Maxima's. Four doors, looks great, better power, more refined interior, Nissan reliability and resale value. G35's coupes look good, but we're talking 4 doors, not 2, for someone with a family, who doesn't have to sacrifice sports feel or power. The G35 sedan is not that good looking, quite honestly. I only wish the Maxima was offered with all-wheel drive. Then we'd be comparing it with Audi. Looks good though!
LOve It
Better than the bloated looking 6th generation Maxima which was very unattractive from nearly all angles. There getting somewhere fianally- but somehow still looks too cheap for the harsh sticker price.
Buy a BMW people, for the same price you could get alot more in the looks department.
I Googled the Maxima because I just drove past one that was parked on the side of the road here in Simi. In person, I was stunned it was a Maxima, and as luck may be a 2006 was right across the street for fair comparrison. The old one is a waste and this one is worth taking a look at. My wife called it a sexy beast, thougt not sure thats good or bad but I'm going to test drive one of these.
theres no doubt this is an awesome car. Its powerful, luxurious ans stylish. It may be even better looking than the infinity. Nissan has really stepped up. Even though Nissan is not a luxury car brand, the 09 maxima is a luxury car. Yes, the price is considerably high, however you would paying more for an infinity or maybe even an acura. The price seems high because people are not used to be paying that much for a Nissan. This car is definitely worth it. When I first saw the 09 maxima on the street I couldn't believe that it had a Nissan symbol on it and not a infinity or BMW. No matter what anybody says, this is a high class luxury car for a fair price.
I have got to get one!!! That is all.
My parents are looking for a new car. I have looked at all the luxury cars and when i stumbled across this one i was shocked it was Nissan. Not because they are bad or anything but i was expecting a new BMW or Infiniti. My Dad had never seen this car, and when i showed to him at first he thought it was a Lexus. The interior in my opinion is comparable to that of Infiniti's and BMW's. It Looks cozy, luxurious, and up to date in tech. Besides being a well known Model from a Great brand, I would have bought it even if it was a BMW just for the looks.
I've had my Maxima 2009 since Oct.I absolutely love it. It a sexy car inside and out. The smooth ride on the highway is sweet. It truly feels and sounds like a sports car, yet its smooth, classy, roomy and seats 5 comfortably. WINNER!!!
I just bought the 2009 Maxima two weeks ago and I cant tell you enough how proud I am of Nissan. This car is so smooth, so quiet, and gets so many peoples attention...Its freaking fast too! EVERYWHERE I go, Im asked about this car. People even think its a lexus. If you disagree, Its probably because youre jealous you dont own one. I rest my case
dumbass because its way sexier than a v6 altima and a g35...somebody doesnt know a sick car when they see one..i say this is nissans nicest car ever
drive one and you will understand
love this car!
I have been a Maxima entusiast for some time, sold them for 5 yrs and own a 97. In keeping up with the design changes I have been thuroughly unimpressed with the models following the 99 and almost crapped my pants at this latest revision to the car. This the only one Ive been remotely interested in as far as the cosmetics are concerned. I drove one a couple weeks ago and was not disappointed. It felt wonderful and drove as you would expect it should based on looks, agressive, stylish, and powerful without being over zealous. I will be buying this car, its awsome.
I visited the melb. car show the other day , and found that the max - 2009 was a car second too none in is price group. love the vehicle and will be buying one soon.
I'm definitely going to buy this car.
I've owned two Maxima's in the past, great cars.
With that said, I can't see paying the money for this one, it's too expensive and when you get that high up in price, it's competitors start to come into view.
I find it's not that appealing to look at no matter how nice it is to drive, for that amount of $$ you want the full package (looks and performance). Maybe sometime I'll get a used one for a bargain somewhere.
If I do go "Nissan" next, I'd probably stay in the family though and go with an Infinity. I find their designs much more attractive.
I also find that the new Accord looks better than the Maxima now IMO. Even the new VW Passat is nicer.
WoOoW, Maxima .. I love this car.
Sure I will renew mine :)
This is my third Maxima. I bought my new '09 after my lease was over in a '06 Maxima last year. I was actually looking for a BMW 3 series or Infinity M35 before deciting for my new Maxima, up to this time i still have people looking at it and acting surprise after realizing is a Nissan.
Drives great as good as any of those luxury cars!
