Yesterday, WardsAuto announced the winners of its "10 Best Interiors for 2016" list, and here at Lithia Nissan of Eugene, we were happy to see that the bold yet elegant Maxima made the list. Nissan's eighth generation flagship sedan earned praise for its "command central fighter jet-inspired driver's cockpit that rivals luxury vehicles."
As part of the selection process, eight WardsAuto editors spent two months evaluating more than 45 vehicles based on ergonomics, safety, comfort, aesthetics, and materials. While there is no price cap for the list, emphasis was placed on overall value. Maxima was noted for its premium-crafted interior that competes with significantly more expensive vehicles from luxury brands.
"This interior makes a brilliant first impression," said WardsAuto Senior Editor Tom Murphy. "The Maxima exhibits expert craftsmanship and reminds us once again why it serves as Nissan's flagship. We love the black-and-camel color scheme, two-tone flat-bottom steering wheel, 'Liquid Chrome' metallic trim and Alcantara diamond-quilted seating surfaces. Nissan took some chances with the Maxima interior, but the rewards are evident."
