4 Standout Features of the 2021 Nissan Maxima
1. Satisfying Powertrain
The 2021 Maxima is only offered with one powertrain option, and it is a satisfying performer. The familiar V6 engine has won the hearts of many as well as quite a few awards over the years for its creative and cutting-edge design. This engine produces a thrilling 300 horsepower, with a clocked acceleration of a respectable 0 to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds. This is certainly enough power for drivers to get a bit of a thrill while driving.
2. Nissan’s Innovative Xtronic Transmission
The 2021 Maxima is fully equipped with an advanced continuously variable automatic transmission, which proves to be far superior to the typical CVT. Nissan’s Xtronic transmission doesn’t utilize traditional gears as it benefits from D-Step simulated gearshift logic. Drivers find that this feature delivers a more engaging driving experience. This new transmission also helps to optimize fuel economy, helping the Maxima to reach an EPA estimated 30 miles per gallon on the highway.
3. Exceptional Handling
The 2021 Maxima has the agility of the sports car and the maneuverability of a small coupe. Drivers are increasingly impressed with its athleticism, especially on winding roads. This vehicle drives extremely confidently and its lowered stance makes for good body control.
Every trim level of the Maxima comes equipped with performance-enhancing technologies, such as Intelligent Trace Control. This system enhances stability while Active Ride Control absorbs and smooths out those bumpy roads. The SR trim level has a track-inspired suspension that drivers who enjoy tighter handling will appreciate.

The Nissan Maxima has received some of the highest crash-test scores in its class. Every new 2021 Maxima comes standard with, not only state-of-the-art materials that make for superior crash ratings, but also with Nissan’s Safety Shield 360. This suite of driving aids helps to reduce the likelihood or impact of a crash.
The forward-collision warning system is intuitive enough to help predict a potential collision up to two vehicles ahead of you, while the blind-spot monitoring uses various sensors to detect and alert the driver about unseen cars or objects.
