The Nissan® Maxima® is quite probably America's best luxury car value. For ten years running, the incomparable Maxima has been the best-selling V6 import in its class.^* And we don't think l996 will be any different. Not when the Maxima's 24-valve, 190-hp, V6 engine generates such startling power while at the same time delivering a gas-sipping fuel efficiency of 22 mpg city/27 mpg highway.^** And not when you consider the variety of standard features that comes along for the ride -- features like driver- and passenger-side airbags, power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes, even cruise control, power windows and door locks. We call it responsible luxury. You'll call it the sedan you've been waiting for, because Maxima starts at under $21,000.^***

Now, you may well wonder, what makes the Nissan Maxima such an exceptional luxury car value? You'll find it's more than just one or two features and our say-so. Here, for instance, are just some of the standard performance features that make the 1996 Maxima a very special sedan.

• 3.0-liter, 24-valve DOHC 6-cylinder/190-hp engine.
• Power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes.
• Independent front suspension.
• Rear Multi-Link Beam^tm suspension.
• Front and rear stabilizer bars.
• 3-year/36,000-mile "bumper to bumper" limited warranty.

Of course, no one drives a luxury sedan for performance alone. That's why the 1996 Maxima provides the finest in standard comfort and convenience:

• Power windows and door locks.
• Dual power remote-controlled outside mirrors.
• Cruise control.
• Electric rear window defroster.
• Non-CFC air conditioning.

The following items are standard on the GLE only:

• Remote keyless entry system
• Bose® audio system
• Leather seating surfaces
• Automatic temperature control
• Power driver and passenger seats

No doubt you'll agree that all the power and comfort in the world aren't really worth much without comparable attention paid to safety features. And the protection Maxima offers is world class.

• Driver- and passenger-side airbags.
• Steel side-door guard beams that meet 1997 federal safety standards.
• Energy-absorbing steering column.
• Child-safety rear door locks and child-seat anchor.
• Hood buckling creases and safety stops.

Imagine. Performance that's more like a sports car. The comfort and amenities of a true luxury car. The safety features you demand of any car. All at a price which, in this category, you'd swear was a misprint. No wonder we call it Maxima.
