For 2002, Nissan is offering the most powerful and most luxurious Maxima ever. Offered in three trim levels -- base GXE, sporting SE and luxury GLE -- the 2002 Maxima can be anything from a nicely equipped family car to an affordable sport sedan. The big news for all Maximas is a new 3.5-liter engine. The 24-valve V6 produces 255 horsepower and 246 lb-ft of torque, an increase of 33 horsepower and 29 lb-ft of torque over the 2001 Maxima's 3.0-liter engine. For the first time on the Maxima, a close-ratio six-speed manual will be standard on SE models. Remaining models come equipped with a standard four-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission (optional on SE). To identify a 2002 Maxima, look for the updated exterior styling. Subtle changes are evident, such as the headlight and taillight styling tweaks. The grille now wears a bigger Nissan symbol and the lower fascia has a larger air intake. New for this year, and standard on every Maxima, are high intensity discharge (HID) xenon headlights. Yep, the same type of serious illumination that certain high-end carmakers make you pay extra for. Out back, the taillights sport the clear lens treatment that is so en vogue today. On the inside, the Maxima features numerous refinements, including more supportive seat designs, titanium-color trim highlights, redesigned audio system faceplates, a new gauge package and a multi-function trip computer. Other additions for 2002 include micro-filtration for the climate control system, memory seating for the driver seat and an upgraded sound system with a six-disc in-dash CD changer and an optional GPS navigation system.The sport sedan enthusiast's choice would be the SE, with its six-speed manual gearbox, firmer suspension calibrations, high-performance rubber mounted on alloy wheels and the obligatory rear spoiler. Nissan's 2002 Maxima changes are impressive. With the addition of 255 horsepower and features like HID headlights, the Maxima is more of an entry-level luxury sedan than a family sedan. In fact, there now seems to be little reason to buy the Maxima's more expensive cousin, the Infiniti I35.
