2016 Nissan Maxima Official Debut Coming In April At New York Auto Show

The big game was Sunday and Super bowl Sunday is likely the only time that people look forward to commercials. One of the stand out commercials for many people during the game was aired by Nissan and was called "With Dad." Nissan has this week confirmed what many already knew, the car that made a cameo at the end of the commercial was the all-new 2016 Nissan Maxima.

Nissan has long called the Maxima the 4-door sports car thanks to the powerful V6 engine under the hood and the sporty design of the car. Nissan will officially debut the 2016 Maxima at the New York International Auto Show in April.

Since the car hasn't officially debuted, we don't have anything in the way of details on the car. All we know from the commercial is that the 2016 Maxima seems to be smaller than the current Maxima and its profile shares a bit of familial resemblance to the current generation Altima.

Nissan is also strongly using the "4-door Sports Car" moniker trying to bring some performance credibility back to the car. These days there are plenty of 4-door sporty cars so I hope the Maxima has the guts under the hood to back up that claim. Nissan will likely use a V6 under the hood, but powertrain is unconfirmed. Watch the "With Dad" commercial below.
