1991 Nissan Maxima: Equipment changes include redesigned outside mirrors and black instead of charcoal, for the optional leather upholstery.

1992 Nissan Maxima: An optional driver-side airbag and a more powerful engine for the sporty SE model are the major changes for Nissan's front-drive flagship model. Now standard on the SE is a new double-overhead-cam, 24-valve, 190-horsepower 3.0-liter V6. The optional airbag retains the tilt steering wheel. And antilock brakes, previously optional only on the SE, can be ordered on both models for 1992. Minor appearance changes this year include a freshening of the front grille and taillamps.

1993 Nissan Maxima: The driver-side airbag becomes standard for 1993. The change coincides with the addition of built-in safety belts for an optional rear child-safety seat.

1994 Nissan Maxima: With a new Maxima looming on the horizon for 1995, Nissan provides few changes to the 1994 Maxima, which begins its sixth year in its present form.
