A few touch-ups for 2012
The 2012 Maxima features a redesigned grille and taillamps and can now be shod in 18- or 19-inch wheels. A new colour has also been added to the exterior palette, Meteorite Brown.
The cabin received a minor facelift as well, boasting a new instrument backlighting colour (white), black or wood trim and a tan interior.
