According to a recent press release from Nissan North America, the 2016 Nissan Maxima ranked number one in the Large Car category for the J.D. Power 2016 U.S. Tech Experience Index (TXI) Study. Now in its inaugural year, the study measures the driver-centric vehicle technology experience of new-car owners over a 90-day period. J.D. Power presented the award, which was determined in October, to Nissan this week during the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The TXI is particularly focused on safety and driver-assistance technologies, comfort and convenience, connectivity, and navigation. Of these, the study showed that driver-assistance technologies like collision protection are what owners want most in their next vehicle. Maxima offers a full suite of these features, including Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW), Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC), Forward Emergency Braking (FEB), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) and Blind Spot Warning (BSW).
"Maxima is the flagship of the Nissan sedan lineup, with standard 8.0-inch display and standard NissanConnect with Navigation, with intuitive smartphone-like gestures such as swiping and pinch-to-zoom," said Michael Bunce, vice president, Product Strategy and Planning, Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA). "Nissan places usability, as well as safety and security of vehicle owners and their passengers as a top priority, and this award certainly reflects that mindset. Thank you to J.D. Power for this recognition."
Congrats! @Nissan Maxima ranked highest for the large vehicle category in our Tech Experience Index #JDPowerAwards
