2015 Hyundai Genesis vs 2016 Nissan Maxima - AutoGuide.com

One is a classy old gent, while the other is the new guy, trying to blaze a new path. Both the 2015 Hyundai Genesis 3. 8 Luxury and the 2016 Nissan Maxima Platinum are very capable, but the two sedans have varying priorities and the one you like better will heavily depend on what you need in a car and what kind of statement you... Who Has the Better Looks. The Genesis and the Maxima take two totally different approaches to aesthetics. On one hand, you have the Genesis, a more mature, conservative-looking sedan with a more mature and conservative clientele. And then on the other hand, which the Maxima is very enthusiastically trying to high-five, you have the Nissan, which is dramatic and literally very edgy. With its prominent, high-end looking front grille and purposeful lines, the Genesis has a much more elegant design, which some would say is boring. It looks like something luxurious, which means the design has done its job. But every time I see a Nissan these days, especially the new Murano and the Maxima, my eye twitches a bit. I like the look of the floating roof from the side profile, and the sedan definitely looks sporty, but I think Nissan could have done a better job at smoothing out the lines. The Maxima just feels like it’s trying too hard and its design will get old very quickly. Source: www.autoguide.com
