Staunton, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/16/2011 -- Staunton Nissan, near Charlottesville, Virginia, is pleased to announce the arrival of the 2012 Nissan Maxima to its inventory. Exterior updates, as well as fresh interior details, give the seventh generation of the popular vehicle a vibrant new look.

The Nissan Maxima is a front-wheel-drive midsize sedan powered by a 290-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine, with a continuously variable transmission. Its powerful exterior styling, interior luxury, and powerful standard engine consistently earn high ratings and user reviews. Nissan’s “original four-door sports car” comes with four-wheel drive and an impressive suspension system, with the option of sport-tuned suspension. The 2012 Maxima is available in two trims, each offering luxurious comfort and technological features.

2012’s facelift includes distinguished exterior features, such as a new front grille, new dynamically-designed wheels, and redesigned taillight. The cabin includes a new white background light for the instrument panel, updated trim with wood tones and metallic finishes for multiple elements. New exterior and interior color options are available, and a new Limited Edition optional package gives the customer a handful of additional luxuries.

This generation of Maxima packs a variety of luxurious amenities, such as a standard moonroof, keyless entry and ignition, dual-zone automatic climate control, automatic on/off headlights, and an eight-speaker system. A great deal of storage designed into the already-spacious car.

A complement of safety features comes standard on this Nissan model. Dual-stage supplemental front air bags with seat belt and occupant-classification sensors, as well as seat- and roof-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags provide protection, as do front-seat active head restraints and technologically-advanced seat belts. Vehicle dynamic control, with traction control, stabilizes the vehicle in inclement driving conditions.
