Now at the latter half of its eighth generation of production, the Maxima-Nissan's longtime sports-oriented four-door sedan-is majorly updated for the 2019 model year. It now sports the more chiseled front and rear ends found on its siblings, the Nissan Altima sedan and Nissan Rogue compact SUV. Also new for 2019 is a driver-assistance safety technology bundle dubbed Safety Shield 360. Added on the higher-level trims, Safety Shield 360 includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, high-beam assist blind spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, intelligent lane intervention, and automatic reverse braking.
