The Japanese car company, Nissan, has been around since 1934. But it wasn't until 1958 when Nissan featured some of their cars at the Los Angeles auto show. The company then formed a U.S. Subsidiary the following year. By improving their vehicles, they gained success in the market and became one of the world's largest exporters of automobiles. Nissan formerly marketed vehicles under the Datsun brand name.
Continuous improvements were implemented on their vehicles such as the Nissan Maxima which debuted in 1976. Maxima went through a lot of changes, characterized by enhancements in Nissan Maxima parts in each and every single generational model of the Nissan Maxima. The Maxima model began with the Nissan Bluebird Maxima, which was available in the US as Datsun 810 from February 1977. It offered two types of engine, a 2.0 L displacement for the Japanese market and a 2.4 L for the US market. The vehicle used a carburetor for the base model and fuel injection for the sporty version. The sporty version channeled power through a five speed manual transmission. These cars were rear-wheel drive and had a semi-trailing arm rear suspension. In the first Maxima, Nissan also offered a 2-door coupe version in 1979. It featured some new Nissan Maxima parts, but it was most notable for its fresh exterior.
The latest Maxima is far from the first one. It has some great like the V6 engine that can produce 265 horsepower though. Nissan's current engine in the Maxima is one of the great innovations of the company. In fact, it consistently received Wards 10 Best Engines award every year since the competition's inception in 1995. There were also other Nissan Maxima parts such as auto accessories that contributed to the vehicle's performance. Presently, the new Maxima comes equipped with a Xtronic CVT or what is mostly known as the continuously variable transmission. It's a transmission wherein the ratio of the rotational speeds of two shafts can be varied continuously within a given range. This can provide an infinite number of possible ratios for motorists on the road.
