SE = Sport Edition
GXE = Base (Cheapest) Model
GLE = Luxury edition
Generally the SE + GLE have white face gauges, upgraded sound, leather trim (shifter, steering wheel) leather seats, alloy wheels, fogs, ect.
The SE's come stock with spoiler and alloy's. GXE and SE have the option of auto/manual tranny. GLE only comes in Auto.

Unless you're a middle aged woman who enjoys softness and pampered luxury
Generally people think GXE is good to get if you plan on doing alot of major mods. But if you don't or don't for a while, the SE already looks good stock.
Be a man. Get an SE

GXE = $$$
SE = $$$ + 2000
GLE = $$$ + 3000
aftermarket
GXE = $$$$ + mods
SE = $$$ + 2000 + mods
GLE = $$$ + 3000 + mods
can you tell the difference between a modded SE and a GXE? nope...

a) Brand new popout drawer is $50 delivered.
b) Fuzzy pillars off a 95 to 96 GLE or 96 to 99 I30s from a boneyard for around $100 delivered.
c) All the benefits of the GLE, none of its fatness.
And, most important:
These are standard on the REAL Maximas: ALL 89 to 94 models.
Have a nice day medic!

The other trims are marketing gimmicks to get ignorant people to purchase the same vehicle for several thousand dollars more with maybe a few hundred bucks in additional part cost.
What makes a Maxima a Maxima, what makes a Maxima a Minima?

I find it interesting that some of you think the GLE is just a marketing gimmick to raise the price of a Maxima. Yet I've read dozens of posts asking:
How can I install auto climate control?
Where can I buy leather seats?
How do I install fog lights on my GXE?
Where can I get chrome door handles?
How can I add homelink?
And so on. Marketing gimmick indeed.

Uh, yeah. None of those items add to the actual car itself. You still have a VQ in there, it's the same length, width, height......
The only thing functional in that list is fog lights: a $200 DIY job for the factory kit.

Not all GLE's come with fog lights.. custommaxima.com aka greg took out his factory fog lights and put in aftermarket ones..so you tell me..
All GLE's do come with fog lights. And anyone who replaces them is just in a mod frenzie.
GXE comes with chrome door handles
who needs it.. most people have garage door openers.. I live in condo..what am i going to open? my mailbox?
yup you are right..

And I've never seen a post about poor leather seats. Nissan kills only the best of cows for us.
Fog lights are standard equipment on ALL GLE's. And other than installing different bulbs, anyone who would change them is just in a mod frenzie.
As for chrome door handles, I was talking about the inside.
Homelink? I need it. Those of us with garage door openers don't need another plastic device clipped to the sunshade, getting in the way when you actually lower the shade.
That's it for me.
Make rivalry is one thing. But model rivalry among us is a bore.

You're free to look this up, but that's false. At least the 97 to 99 models (i.e. price cutting). And I'm pretty sure the 95 and 96 GLEs were fogless as well.
There are some Hella aftermarket fogs with a beam output that would make you cry. Who's to say that's not what they are being replaced with?
4 Chrome handles are $60 from any Infiniti dealer, although I never knew they were standard on GLE models at all. Details/write-up are in dot org. My GXE has them, yet I paid a whopping $18k for my Max brand new.
The first good point of this post, although I prefer a programmable remote that you keep personally to keep thieves from coming to the house....
Boring? I'm just getting warmed up.

Bill knows were the good stuff is at. Bill hows it owning both. I was going to finance a 98 SE but it was sold.
