Nissan Maxima (A33). 1999–2003 (prod. n/a). 4-door sedan. F/F, 2987, 3498 cm³ (V6 DOHC). Rebodied Maxima, with styling done at Nissan’s Californian studio. More sporting than equivalent Nissan Cefiro (A33), which often wore Maxima badges for export. Larger grille at front, smaller rear lights. Low C_d for base model at 0,31. Much improved interior with more standard equipment than A32. Excellent engine, smooth for cruising, though not as apt a handler as sporting image suggested.
