Look! Nissan Maxima 40th Anniversary Edition

Nissan has announced a limited 40th Anniversary Edition as part of the 2021 Maxima lineup to celebrate the flagship saloon completing four decades of production.

The limited production package builds on the fully equipped Maxima Platinum grade and includes a two-tone Ruby Slate Gray Pearl exterior color with black roof and 19-inch gloss black aluminium-alloy wheels.

It also features black exterior finishers and trim badges, including a 40th Anniversary badge and black exhaust finish.

The cabin gets red semi-aniline leather-appointed seating with 40th Anniversary embossing as well as red contrast interior stitching and Satin Dark Chrome interior faceted finishers.

The instrument cluster gets white speedometer and tachometer faces reminiscent of past Maxima models.

Maxima is the longest continuous running Nissan nameplate in the US market, with the first one sold there back in 1981.

Now in its eighth-generation, Maxima’s history goes back to the Datsun Bluebird 810 of the late 1970s. The 1981 Datsun 810 was the first to carry the Maxima nameplate.
