Serving New Rochelle, Yonkers, and Mt. Vernon, NY

The full-sized sedan was once the go to car for many consumers. These days, many consumers prefer the affordability and fuel economy of the compact or mid-sized cars. The full-size sedan still has its appeal for many consumers who are more interested in amenities and the roominess of a full-size car but aren’t interested in an SUV.

 Design Aspects

The Nissan Maxima has one of the sharpest looks on the full-size car market with bold lines, a smooth ride and an aerodynamic profile. It doesn’t have the boxy look some of its competitors have but leans closer to a sporty appearance with its sleek design and jet inspired roof.

The Toyota Avalon has retained its simple and classic profile that has a straight and angular appearance. It also has a big, black front grill that takes the focus away from the rest of the car and chrome trim that looks harsh against the rest of the car’s design.

Inside, the Toyota Avalon has received a few upgrade like its upholstery and heated front seats that are power-adjusted for convenience. In comparison, the interior of the Nissan Maxima displays advanced zero-gravity technology front seats that takes ergonomics to a whole new level and provides incredible comfort.

Tin comparison, the 2016 Nissan Maxima beats out the Toyota Avalon with the engine in its base model encompassing a 3.5-liter V6 under the hood providing a whopping 300 horsepower blowing away the 268 horsepower of the Toyota Avalon.
