Nissan has released a single image of the 2019 Nissan Maxima and announced that the sedan will make its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show, which opens in late November. The flagship of Nissan’s North American sedan lineup will go on sale in December.
It has been three and a half years since today’s Maxima was unveiled, which makes a facelift overdue. The eight-generation Maxima was as radical as a full size sedan could look when it debut, and still is quite a sight today. As such, the “four-door sports car” looks familiar, but also sharper.
The unique headlamps with upturned “eyebrows” are still there, but the eyes are now full LEDs and the LED daytime running light strip is slimmer and full length. The black nose section is also sharper edged; same goes to the V-motion “bowl” holding the Nissan badge.
There’s a bit of a silver-painted chin going on, while the fog lamp housings (lights should be LEDs now) are significantly larger than before – the overall look is a lot more aggressive. The profile, with its unique lines, is still good for a couple of years and have been maintained along with the signature DLO “tail”. Big gunmetal alloys go well with the car’s red.
No further details other than the Maxima facelift will be available with Nissan Safety Shield 360 technology, a suite of six advanced safety and driver assist technologies. The current model year car is powered by a 300 hp 3.5 litre V6 engine mated to a Xtronic CVT automatic.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Why cant this car be sold here…..all we have are the low level Nissans!
Deswai better buy premium level proton X70.
Altima/Teana are sold here but it’s not very popular. So as the US designed Sylphy that was once sold here but not popular as well.
Because only 3.5L engine available for that car. Sure no want to pay overpriced road tax for normal class nissan.
Kia can design better. Even the Nissan GTR is ugly actually. Honda also design very ugly cars these days. But Honda will always sell.
When Honda design very ugly, it is correct. However, nowadays people will buy other carmakers but not Honda because Honda Malaysia is always cheated to Malaysian when Honda Malaysia Sales is improving but Honda Assembly Quality and Honda Service Quality is very terrible. So it means the prediction is that Honda will not always sell for sure nowadays
3.5 litre v6 can outrun our boys in blue….
But whoe would pay the stonking roadtax for a nissan 5 seater (illegally 6)
Meanwhile, ETCM is still selling the aging pre-facelift Teana here
Tan Chong still sleeping. Too old fashioned, too conservative, too slow. Don’t blame consumers for choosing other brands if you can’t give what they want.
One of the best example of seriously conservative & old fashioned is the boss of Tan Chong himself, who didn’t believe in his son’s own idea of Grab. It was the mother who invested in her son’s idea (min RM1 Million from what I heard) & see how successful his Grab is now. Until buy over Uber, got investment from Japanese bank & most recently Toyota Motor Corp.
I think the crux of the matter is our ringgit is not strong. The car will be too expensive if Tan Choong bring it in to Malaysia.
To make matter worst, our ringgit is depreciating to a worrying state since the last GE.
