History of the Nissan Maxima

The Nissan Maxima began as a sibling of the second-generation Datsun 810 that debuted in 1980 for the 1981 model year. It was a larger version of the iconic Datsun 510 and was a nod to the Datsun Bluebird 810 of the late 1970s.

Under the hood was the engine of the Nissan 240Z and 5-speed manual transmission, an innovation at a time when a 4-speed transmission or less was the norm. It also offered a station wagon body that lasted through the 2nd generation of the Maxima that went from 1985 to 1988, which happened to be the first to offer a V6 engine & FWD.

Other highlights over the years include:

• 160-horsepower 3.0L V6 for the 3rd generation starting in 1989
• New 190-hp V6, larger body design & rear suspension for the 4th generation in 1995, which earned Motor Trend's Import Car of the Year Award
• Legendary VQ35 V6 coming in the 5th generation in 2000, with an output boost up to 255 horsepower in 2002
• Added luxury with features like the ones above becoming available starting with the 6th generation in 2004
• 290-hp 3.5L V6 & more aggressive styling for the 7th generation
• Signature V-motion front end & floating roof design for the current-generation Maxima in 2016
