The new Nissan Maxima Can't Be Pinned Down: Research Features, Specs, Tech, and Inventory
This iconic Nissan car is bigger and more comfortable than many other sedans in its price range, but it's way sportier and more fun to drive than any typical family car. The stunning range of options and list of standard materials in upper-level trims even let the new Maxima compete with (and beat) some very popular entry-level luxury sedans--perfect for the St. Louis driver who dreams of a premium car but doesn't want to rise to such an expensive price point.
See if the newest Nissan Maxima is right for you.
The Well-Equipped new Nissan Maxima Offers a Lot
There aren't many cars out there that are as generous as the new Nissan Maxima, which offers a huge range of standard features and available package upgrades even on its entry-level trims; standard gear includes LED daytime running lights, foglights, dual-zone climate control, power seats, navigation, an 8.0-inch touchscreen, and a pretty nice sound system. And, yes, that's just the base model.
Standard power across the lineup comes from an impressive 3.5-liter V6 engine, good for 300 horsepower and 261 pound-feet of torque, that's paired to an Xtronic CVT (continuously-variable automatic transmission) for smooth shifting. The Nissan Maxima is currently available only with a front-wheel-drive system--will we see an AWD Maxima in the next generation? Only time will tell.
Connected Technology Makes the Maxima a Smart Choice
Attractive? Check. Powerful? Check. Efficient? The new Maxima gives you up to 30 mpg highway with its V6 engine, so--check. But it's not just the powertrain that makes this sedan a smart choice. It's the incredible intelligent, intuitive, and user-friendly collection of new tech found throughout the new Maxima's cabin.
Every car comes standard with a sleek, bright 8.0" touchscreen that lets you zoom, pinch, and swipe--just like using your smartphone or tablet. It's easy to use by touch, by controls placed on the steering wheel, or by Nissan's cool Display Commander, which lets drivers use a conveniently-placed group of knobs and switches just below the shifter to control infotainment options and media.
Every new Maxima also comes standard with NissanConnect® with Navigation; the integrated system isn't your only choice, though. Plug in your compatible smartphone with a USB cable to boot up Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and use your car's touchscreen system like an extension of your device. Now, that's smart.
Sensible Safety and Innovative Driver-Assistance Features
Sporty doesn't have to compromise safety. The new Maxima offers available Nissan Intelligent Mobility driver-assistance systems on many of its models. The safety suite includes systems like Automatic Emergency Braking, Intelligent Cruise Control, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Intelligent Around View Monitor, and Front and Rear Sonar System.
All of these features work together seamlessly to watch your back no matter where you're driving. And your front. And your sides. And your blind spots. It's full-body coverage that's smarter than ever.
All of this is just a small taste of the features and tech available in this stunning new sedan. If the new Maxima has caught your eye, you can find the best new Nissan deals for you at our St. Louis-area dealership. If you still need some convincing, keep reading.
