What Changed
The Maxima receives a minor facelift for 2007. Exterior changes include a tightened up front fascia, headlights, hood, and a bigger rear spoiler. An Xtronic CVT replaces the conventional automatic and unfortunately, the 6-speed manual too. The 3.5L V-6 is re-rated at 255-bhp, because of new SAE standards. Unlike the 2007 Altima, the Maxima is not based on the Nissan D-platform chassis.
