Nissan Maxima 2008 UAE Prices & Specs

The Maxima was a hot car when it was first unveiled in this iteration. However, Nissan's GCC division chose to let this model stagnate to the point where it was easily overshadowed by the newer Altima, even when the Maxima was redesigned in other markets and transformed into a luxury cruiser. The GCC-spec Maxima also still uses Nissan's older version of the corporate V6, with a displacement of 3.0-litre, combined with front-wheel-drive, and with a choice of five-speed manual and four-speed auto gearboxes. Performance is very respectable even after all these years. It comes with automatic air-conditioning, CD player, power windows, power mirrors, power locks with remote keyless entry, ABS-assisted disc brakes, cloth seats, front airbags and many wheel choices, depending on model. The basic model gets 15-inch steel wheels, while higher models get 16-inch or 17-inch alloy wheels. Options include an in-dash CD changer with subwoofer, cruise control, sunroof, rear electric sunshade and leather cabin trim. Changes from year to year largely involve a new grille style every few years.
