Nissan is used to making bold moves. Why, just one look at all the adventurous designs peppering the company’s lineup of vehicles is enough to notice that Nissan isn’t your average car company. That desire to break free from boring is what makes Nissan so special. At the 2015 New York Auto Show, Nissan showed off another special vehicle—the all-new 2016 Nissan Maxima.

Despite teasing us during the 2015 Super Bowl, the 2016 Maxima’s debut in the Big Apple provided a lot of solid details surrounding the new model.
