Learn more and browse inventory of the 2016 Nissan Maxima or 2016 Nissan Altima.
Both the Maxima and Altima fall into the mid-size sedan segment. They both have sleekly sculpted exteriors, innovative and elegant features. You’ll find the main differences between the 2016 Altima and Maxima in power, performance and space.
What’s the difference in power and performance?
While the Maxima comes standard with a powerful 3.5 Liter V6 engine, the Altima is offered with two different engines: a 2.5 Liter 4-cylinder and a 3.5 Liter V6. The Altima slightly edges out the Maxima in fuel economy, but both are impressively efficient. The Maxima reaches a powerful 300 horsepower while the Altima’s engines have maximum horsepower of 182 and 270 depending on the model. Both Nissan give a sharp response and dynamic handling.
What’s the difference in space?
The Altima and Maxima are nearly identical in size, but their configurations differ. Both have generous room for up to five passengers. The Maxima is slightly longer and wider overall; however, the Altima takes the lead for front and rear headroom, legroom and total interior space with 117.5 cubic feet compared to 112.9 cubic feet.
If you’re looking for speed and power, you’ll find it most in the 2016 Maxima. If you’re seeking ample interior space and sophisticated appeal, look towards the 2016 Altima. It all depends on your driving style and what you need first and foremost in a car.
We look forward to hosting you soon at Gillman Nissan Fort Bend for a test drive! Both the Altima and Maxima make incredible sedans for Houston, Sugar Land and Katy, TX, residents. Come visit us today to see which works best for you.
