Just some random differences i can think while falling asleep...


GXE.............SE
-chrome trim around windows.......... black trim around windows
-chrome grille............ body colored grille
-black gauges/speedo........... white face gauges/speedo
-Wheels 6" wide...............wheels 6.5" wide (wheels are different design also)
-Standard automatic tranny, no manual available........ standard 5spd, manual available
-front disc, rear drum brakes......... 4 wheel discs
-spoiler is optional................spoiler is standard
-single exhaust tip............dual exhaust tip
-keyless entry standard.............no keyless entry
-softer suspension........... "stiffer" suspension


89-91 Maximas, both SE and GXE had standard 16 valve, single cam... 160 hp/182 lbft or torque.... VG engine....
92-94 GXEs had the same VG engine as previous year maximas....
92-94 SEs had a new 24 valve, dual overhead cam 190 hp VE engine....

there are other minor differences, etc.. but i hope u got the point.......SE is more of the sporty version.... while the GXE is the regular....more luxurious.....

16 Valve?!?! how does that work with 6 cyl? Try 12 valves.

They must be working on that weird European conversion system. That 6th cylinder must have one valve...

nope

GXE came standard with auto; only way to have a 3rd gen GXE 5spd is a custom conversion

SE came standard with manual tranny with the option of auto

yeah plain and simple SE is better and faster it has every option that the GXE has and more except keyless entry, which isnt that big a deal

like I said before, NO
all 3rd gen GXE are auto unless custom converted
4th and 5th gens are different though because I believe their GXE comes stock with a 5spd so maybe that's why you're confused
