Vehicle Highlights

Nissan's Maxima was redesigned for 2000, so the upscale Infiniti model that shared its platform and engine was as well. The new I30 is a front-drive, V6-powered near luxury sedan. In the 2000 redesign it gained 2 inches in wheelbase and 4.1 inches overall. The biggest interior gain was 2 inches of rear leg room. The V6 engine carried over from the '99 model but was more powerful, this time making 227 horsepower. A 4-speed automatic was the only transmission. Base and sportier Touring I30t returned, both with standard front head/chest side airbags and active front head restraints. Antilock brakes were standard and traction control was optional. Standard features included a power sunroof, leather upholstery, automatic climate control, and keyless entry. I30t added a limited-slip differential, xenon headlights, sport suspension and larger tires.
