how is new Maxima's VQ engine ??

Cyber370

As a happy owner of a 2017 Maxima, I can attest to the following:

1- the VQ35DE engine is one of the best sounding and smoothest V6’s I’ve ever experienced. It was the number one reason I chose a Maxima over any other sedan. Having test driven quite a few, I found the Maxima had the most powerful and responsive engine without direct injection (which I did not want).

2- The new generation Nissan CVT is absolutely perfect. Forget everything you know about CVT’s. This one is extremely responsive and will simulate 9 speeds in sport mode. It will almost redline at every shift if driven aggressively. The car does go 0-60 in about 5.8 seconds. That is better than most sedans in its class. So no, the CVT does not hold the engine back at all.

So far, this car has turned out to be the best DD I’ve ever owned.
