What Does The 2023 Nissan Maxima Have To Offer?

Although it hasn’t been restyled since the 2016 model year, the 2023 Nissan Maxima’s exterior still turns heads thanks to its floating roofline and swoopy profile.

The Maxima feels nimbler than the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger but it’s not as refined as the Volkswagen Arteon. All Maximas come with a V-6 engine that pumps out 300 horsepower, but it’s mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) that’s a buzzkill. All Nissan rides are spacious. So, if you’re looking for a lower-cost ride, the Nissan Infiniti or Nissan Maxima is worth the purchase.

Engine & Performance

The Maxima is one of the quicker full-size sedans, and its V-6 engine sounds good when it’s pushed hard. The 3.5-liter V-6 makes 300 horsepower and moves the Maxima along with purpose.

The continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), however, detracts from the Maxima’s sports-sedan mission. In our testing, a Maxima Platinum sprinted from zero to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds, out accelerating rivals such as the Volkswagen Arteon and V-6-powered models of the Charger.

The Maxima handles well for its size. The suspension is nicely damped and firm to the point of being perhaps too stiff for the class. The Maxima exhibits little body lean in aggressive cornering maneuvers, and in our testing, the Maxima SR easily outhandled its rivals.

Fuel Economy

With good fuel-economy ratings of 20 mpg city and 30 mpg highway, as well as above-average results in real-world testing, the Maxima’s powertrain proves itself adept at blending performance and efficiency.

Its long highway cruising range also makes it a perfect long-distance companion. In a 200-mile highway fuel-economy test route, the Maxima’s EPA rating reached 32 mpg.

Interior

The Maxima offers room for five in a well-executed cabin that’s full of soft-touch materials, simple controls, and tons of high-end features. Front-seat legroom is among the best in the class, while headroom is average. Rear-seat space is not as generous as it is in larger rivals such as the 300.

Power-adjustable driver and front-passenger seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, dual-zone automatic climate control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and push-button start are standard across the board.

One of the smallest trunks in the category means the Maxima starts with a disadvantage in cargo hauling, however, its larger cubbies are convenient places to stash everyday items, and its rear seatbacks fold down to accommodate larger items.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Basic driver-assistance features are standard; more advanced tech is available on the SR and Platinum models. Key safety features include: Standard automated emergency braking, standard forward-collision warning, and available adaptive cruise control.
