2018 Nissan Maxima Fuel Economy
2018 Nissan Maxima Fuel Economy welcome to our site find great offers on Nissan’s full line of reliable sedans, versatile crossovers, capable trucks and SUVs. With good values in the fuel economy as well as above average results in the real world, the powertrain of Maxima proves to be skillful in the mixing of performance and efficiency. His highway route also makes him a perfect long-distance companion. The estimates of the EPA fuel economy for the 2018 Maxima have not changed from last year’s model, and they will not complain to us. The maxima proved to be a fuel sipper in our real tests last year.
The Maxima returns 2018 with only one change: the addition of an autonomous emergency braking system. The 3.5-liter V6, the 300 ps and 261 lb · FT torque is still connected with a CVT automatic, which switches the gearbox and simulates a front wheel drive. The cabin offers comfort and luxury for those who want to be pampered without turning to a prestige brand. The entire technological arsenal of NissanConnect is on board, including Apple CarPlay and speech recognition.
Completely redesigned last year, the Maxima sedan emphasizes the style of Nissan’s new design language – the V-motion counterpart, the signed boomerang lights, the kicking C-pillars and a unique floating roof. The 300-PS-3.5-liter VQ series V6 is redesigned with more than 60 percent of new components (compared to the previous generation 3.5 L V6) and is expected to increase the road fuel economy by 15 percent.
In addition to the V6, the new, performance-focused, xtronic infinitely variable gearbox with a wider range of ratios allows for faster acceleration from stop to start and new D-Step switching power, high throttle swing speeds. Standard features like four-trim levels – SV, SL, SR and Platinum – heated front seats with leather and heated steering wheel, 8.0 inch touchscreen navigation system, remote engine start, rear monitor and more.
The fuel consumption of the 2018 Nissan Maxima is above average for a large sedan combined with decent power under hood: 21 MPG city, 30 freeway, 25. That’s enough to make it 7 out of 10 points in our scale. (Read more about how we rate cars.) Unlike some rivals, there is no hybrid version of the maxima available, which means it faded against the 40 mpg combined supplied by the Toyota Avalon. It is also lower than the 26 mpg combined Nissan Altima, which shares the Maxima’s V-6.
However, this 25 mpg combined figure rounds off rivals such as the Dodge Charger (23 mpg) and Toyota Avalon (24 mpg).
