Bend, OR -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/10/2012 -- Smolich Nissan is pleased to announce the arrival of the brand new 2012 Nissan Maxima at their Bend dealership. The powerful and stylish family sedan combines performance and luxury in a midsize package described as a “four-door sports car.”

Drawing influence from Nissan’s sports car line, the 2012 Maxima’s stylish and athletic exterior has been updated with a new grille, headlights and taillights for a more seductive, powerful stance reviewers find quite impressive. The interior of the new Maxima is also stylish with a luxurious feel thanks to high quality materials and numerous standard features, including dual-zone automatic climate control and a push-button ignition.

While the Maxima is a standout in regards to its looks, it is even more impressive under the hood. The 290 horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine with a continuously variable transmission provides the power needed to out-accelerate and out-handle the competition. The combination of sporty performance and smooth, precise handling is the perfect mixture for an excellent driving experience.

As a family sedan, the 2012 Maxima is also well equipped for those concerned with safety. Standard features include Nissan’s Advanced Air Bag system, vehicle dynamic control and a traction control system as well as electronic brake force distribution and a tire pressure monitoring system. Every Maxima also comes with a three year/36,000 mile warranty and a five year/60,000 mile powertrain warranty for added peace of mind.
