2018 Nissan Maxima Engine

Maxima are available in S, SV, SL, SR and Platinum Trim levels, an unusually high number of configurations. All share a 300-power, 3.5-litre V-6 paired with a continuous-variation transmission (CVT). It’s not exactly a recipe for thrilling performance, but Maxima accelerates quickly, but with some unnecessary abruptness. The high-effort direction helps the Maxima feel decidedly more athletic than rivals such as the Toyota Avalon, but our staff is mixed up on the lack of direction of road feedback and its occasional spring character.

Under its slender style, the Maxima shares a large part of its architecture with the small mid-size Altima sedan of Nissan. One would think that would result in a more cabin, but the maxima priorities of depth, thick padded bucket-style seats for outboard passengers and the low roof makes the back feel even tighter. A driver-oriented dashboard provides a sporting sensation and the interior materials range from the average above to downright decadent in the range-Topping maxima Platinum.

The entry-level Maxima S do not quite deliver on the luxury mission with its fabric padding, but it comes standard with the navigation and remote start of the engine. The maxima are leather and a multiple-adjustment driver seat with thigh support that makes them feel a little more special for not too much money. If you are sold on the Nissan “four-door sports car” marketing line, the firmer suspension of Maxima SR, the retuned brakes and the available summer tires turn it into a convincing corner sculptor.
