Nissan previews 2016 Maxima in Super Bowl ad [video]

Nissan has given us a preview of its all-new 2016 Nissan Maxima large sedan via its 90-second Super Bowl advertisement.

While Australia is unlikely to get the model, as it’s built in left-hand drive for the American market, some of its styling traits may be adopted by our next-generation Nissan Altima, which has replaced the Maxima as Nissan’s D-segment contender.

It is clear the new Maxima is inspired by the stunning Sports Sedan Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, but toned down for the real world. Nevertheless, the car looks sleek and upmarket, wearing Nissan’s new V corporate grille.

No mention of the car’s powertrain was made in the ad but it will likely get a revised 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine delivering over 221kW (300hp) and possibly a hybrid engine.
