TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Chevrolet Impala does big car hauling with sports car design flair.

The 2019 Nissan Maxima is a break from the familiar mid-size four-door sedans.

TCC Likes

Sharp styling
Good value overall
Comfortable interior

Sharp looks
Relatively quick, compared to other sedans
Driver-first layout

TCC Dislikes

A hybrid would help
So would more active safety tech
Less rear-seat headroom than expected

Cramped rear seat
Small-ish trunk
Still a CVT
