How does the new maxima handle inclement weather and driving in the snow? Just curious because I reside in DC and was wondering can it handle the snow.

 

Folks here have had fairly good luck driving previous Maximas in inclimate weather, and even in light snow, and I think the 8th gen 2016 will perform similarly to previous Maximas.

The depth of snow could be the limiting factor, as the 2016 has only a 4 1/2 inch ground clearance, the least of any Maxima model ever built.

Many folks here who live in northern climates have a second set of wheels with snow/winter tires that they switch to during the cold part of the year. There are posts somewhere here that give the limits of wheel/tire size that can fit on this 2016 Maxima.

 

You'll be fine, im in the dmv as well, ive never had a problem in fwd cars, those 300 horses will get you out. Didnt know it only had 4 1/2 inches of clearance
