2023 Nissan Maxima

The 2023 Maxima lineup consists of three thrilling trims, starting with the SV, which features LED headlights, LED signature daytime running lights, and taillights featuring an integrated LED signature. You'll also find heated mirrors and a chrome quad-tipped exhaust finisher. The SR announces its arrival with a black V-motion grille and has LED fog lights, black exterior accents, and an athletic rear spoiler. This model and the Platinum let you take advantage of a dual-panel panoramic moonroof with one-touch open/close. No matter what Maxima you choose, it will look amazing in colors like Scarlet Ember, Deep Blue Pearl, and Brilliant Silver.

Pop open the Maxima's hood, and you'll find a 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V-6 engine capable of producing 300 horsepower and 261 pound-feet of torque. With that much power, the Maxima can go from zero to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds. The Maxima's robust engine is also quite efficient thanks to its innovative fuel-saving features. The Maxima can get up to 20 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway.

With Nissan's Xtronic continuously variable transmission, you'll enjoy smooth acceleration and straightforward handling each time you slide behind the Maxima's wheel. The transmission's Normal mode perfectly balances performance and efficiency, while the Sport mode sharpens throttle response and steering feel. The SR adds steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters so you can manually control shift points and features a trim-exclusive sport-tuned suspension.

The 2023 Maxima seats five and features leather-trimmed seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a leather-wrapped shift knob. An eight-way adjustable power driver's seat comes standard, with the SR and Platinum adding a memory system. The SV features heated front seats, while the SR and Platinum offer climate-controlled seats with heating and cooling. With the SR and Platinum, you can also take advantage of adjustable ambient lighting and a HomeLink universal garage door transceiver. Every Maxima comes equipped with an 8-inch color touch-screen that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The 2023 Nissan Maxima provides peace of mind with an automatic emergency braking system that issues audio and visual alerts when it senses an impending collision with a pedestrian or vehicle. The system will apply the brakes if you're unable to respond in time. When you're driving in reverse, the rear cross-traffic alert will warn you if a vehicle is approaching from either side of your Maxima. A blind-spot warning detects vehicles as they enter your blind-spot zones, while a lane-departure warning detects unintentional drifting. You can also take advantage of high-beam assist, which dims your high-beam headlights when it detects oncoming traffic, preventing them from blinding other drivers.
