When balancing luxurious features and affordability in a mid-sized sedan, Nissan has hit a home run with its Maxima. The latest generation of this beautifully designed car is sure to stun onlookers with its handsome styling while transporting you in exceptional comfort. Here’s the lowdown on the 2023 Nissan Maxima!
Performance
Definitely one of the Maxima’s many highlights, the sedan comes standard with impressive V6 power in the form of a 300-horsepower 3.5L motor that also puts out 261 lb-ft of torque. With the engine being coupled to Nissan’s Xtronic continuously variable transmission and its drive mode selector, the drivetrain encourages spirited driving and helps to deliver excellent performance at any speed. At 5.7 seconds, its 0 to 60 time handily outdoes many rivals.
The Maxima isn’t just fast in a straight line, either. In addition to its stiffened, yet comfortable suspension that enables the car to navigate through corners adeptly, it’s also available in the even more performance-oriented SR model. Marked by its unique black V-Motion grille and exterior accenting, the Maxima SR boasts sport-tuned suspension, optimized dampers, and an enlarged front stabilizer bar.
Passenger Cabin
Step into the Maxima’s ultra-modern cabin and you’ll be greeted by a beautiful, finely crafted interior that’s reminiscent of much more expensive cars from well-known luxury brands. Nissan designers have achieved this by combining a carefully laid out dashboard and controls, exclusive Zero Gravity seats that keep you comfortable and in the perfect driving position, and available features like premium diamond-quilted, semi-aniline leather upholstery.
Dual-zone automatic climate control, an 8-way power driver’s seat with power lumbar support, and contrast stitching throughout the interior all come standard with every model. Platinum models go the extra mile by adding heated rear seats, maple interior trim with a satin finish, and a fantastic memory system that saves the preferred positioning of the driver’s seat, steering wheel, and outside mirrors for two drivers.
Infotainment System
No matter which trim you choose, your Maxima will come standard with an 8-inch NissanConnect touchscreen system that’s complemented by the car’s 7-inch Advanced Drive-Assist Display. This handy screen sits in the middle of the instrument panel and provides information ranging from details about the song playing on Bluetooth streaming audio to turn-by-turn directions. Premium audio from Bose’s 11-speaker system with Centerpoint 2 technology.
Of course, the Maxima’s infotainment options include a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, integration for iOS and Android smartphones, and SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link support.
Unlike its competitors, the Nissan Maxima more than backs up its looks with a premium design and outstanding driving characteristics. Stop by Ed Martin Nissan today and get to know it further with a test drive!
