Nissan

‘s 2019

Maxima

is now officially official, debuting at the

Los Angeles Auto Show

today with a modest exterior refresh but adding

safety

technologies, redesigned front and rear fascias and new wheels to the list of subtle refinements.

We’ve already gotten a pretty good first look at the new

Maxima

, thanks to a

teaser photo Nissan leaked

of the

sedan

in front-quarter view last month. Now we have more photos and details to back it up.

The 2019 Maxima expands the availability of its Safety Shield 360 active safety and driver-assist technologies, such as automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning, high-beam assist and rear automatic braking. The package comes standard on the top-of-the-line Platinum model and as part of the SR Premium Package.

Nissan

is making the technology available on the 2019

Altima

,

Murano

(which

also debuted

in L.A.),

Rogue

and

Rogue Sport

, part of its commitment to making the technology standard on 1 million

new vehicles

by 2021. Nissan is making the

Rear Door Alert notification

and Intelligent Driver Alertness system, which monitors driver inputs for signs of fatigue and recommends taking a break when so detected, standard on all grade levels — S, SV,

SL

, a sporty SR and Platinum.

New is a series of 19-inch diamond-cut wheels, more pronounced boomerang-shaped LED headlights, a larger and sharper “V-Motion” grille book-ended by small intake grilles at the fog light housings, redesigned tail lamps and integrated quad exhaust tips. The SR grade also gets a sporty rear spoiler.

Inside, Nissan keeps the “Gliding Wing” layout, emphasizing horizontal movements and easy access to all controls. It adds more premium trim finishes and materials in certain models, with orange accent stitching, diamond quilting, orange-accented Alcantara appointments and dark satin chrome finishes in the SR grade as one example. Under the hood, Nissan sticks with the standard 3.5-liter V6 making 300 horsepower and 261 pound-feet of torque, mated to the same CVT transmission and sport-tuned steering, brakes and suspension.

The Maxima, Nissan’s longest-running nameplate, suffers from the same affliction plaguing most all sedans these days, with sales through October off 39.4 percent from the year-before clip, a drop exceeded in Nissan’s lineup only by the

Juke

, which of course is

being discontinued in favor of the Kicks

. The 2019 Maxima goes on sale in mid-December.
