The Nissan Maxima is Nissan's most durable-selling flagship automobile. Nissan has produced the Maxima since 1976, and it is only available as a four-door sedan. The 2003 Maxima came with many standard features and many options were available at extra cost.
Trim Levels
The 2003 Maxima came in three trim options: the base GXE, the mid-level sport-oriented SE and the luxury GLE. The GXE and SE offered as standard equipment air conditioning; power locks, windows and mirrors; cloth seats and a power driver's seat. The GXE came with 16-inch wheels; the SE got 17-inch rims. The SE also came with fog lamps, a rear spoiler and stiffer suspension. The GLE came with standard leather seats, a six-disc CD AM/FM audio system, 17-inch rims and power front seats.
Under the Hood
Nissan offered one engine with the 2003 Maxima: a 255-horsepower 3.5-liter V6, producing 246 ft-lbs of torque. Combined with a close ratio six-speed manual transmission, the V6 can push the Maxima from zero to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds. A four-speed automatic transmission also was available. The bore of the cylinder measures 3.6 inches and the stroke has a 3.2-inch reach. The Maxima earned 19 mpg on city streets and 26 mpg on highways.
Dimensions
The 3,232-lb. 2003 Maxima sits on on a 108.3-inch wheelbase. Although considered a full-size car, the sedan is relatively short at 191.5 inches from front to rear bumper, 56.3-inches tall and 70.3-inches wide. The fuel tank holds 18.5 gallons. The cargo capacity in the trunk is 15.11 cubic feet.
Safety
The 2003 Maxima featured all-wheel disc brakes with the front discs ventilated. The car was equipped with dual-stage driver and front passenger airbags, three-point seatbelts and child-seat anchor points. The GLE model featured driver- and front-passenger side airbags. Government crash tests give the car four out of five stars in side- and front-impact crash testing.
Features
All Maximas featured body-side molding, monochrome front and rear bumpers, Xenon headlamps, tinted heat-reflective glass, leather trim on the gear shift, front and rear 12-volt power outlets, anti-theft protection, full floor console and storage box, and trip meter.
