2021 Nissan Maxima

The 2021 Maxima is available in four fabulous trim levels, so you're sure to find one that you love. The SV announces its arrival with LED headlights and LED signature daytime running lights. On the rear, you'll find integrated LED signature lights and chrome quad-tipped exhaust finishers. The SR adds a black V-motion grille flanked by LED fog lights and 19-inch gloss-black wheels that go nicely with black quad-tipped exhaust finishers. The Platinum's 19-inch wheels have an eye-catching machine finish. To celebrate the Maxima's 1981 introduction to drivers, Nissan is adding a 40th Anniversary Edition to the lineup. This top trim features sleek black accents and 40th anniversary badging.

When it comes to delivering power, the 2021 Maxima doesn't disappoint. Under the hood, you'll find Nissan's legendary 3.5-liter VQ V-6 engine. Showcasing sodium-filled exhaust valves and anodized pistons, this finely engineered masterpiece can produce 300 horsepower and 261 pound-feet of torque. That incredible output enables the Maxima to go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 5.7 seconds. Even more impressive is the engine's 30 mile-per-gallon highway rating.

The Nissan Maxima is built to perform. Standard in every model is Nissan's Xtronic CVT transmission. This innovative system features dynamic step shifting, wider gear ratio coverage, and an adaptive shift controller, all working together to deliver a spirited driving experience. A drive mode selector lets you adjust the Maxima's throttle response and steering feel, enhancing the Maxima's performance to suit your mood. The front-wheel-drive provides the agility you need to zip down busy city streets and cruise down the highway, while an independent multi-link rear suspension makes every ride smoother.

Inside the 2021 Nissan Maxima, you'll find every amenity you're looking for and then some. The sport-styled front seats are inspired by zero-gravity space travel and give you a natural seating position that reduces fatigue while giving you support. They also feature climate control to keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Your passengers will appreciate the heated rear seats and power rear sunshade. The Platinum adds a Satin Birdseye Maple wood-tone interior trim. With the 40th Anniversary Edition, you'll enjoy diamond-quilted leather seating surfaces.

The 2021 Maxima wouldn't be complete without its many intelligent safety features. Automatic emergency braking can detect potential front-end collisions with vehicles and pedestrians. The system will apply the brakes when necessary. If a vehicle or pedestrian is approaching as you're driving in reverse, you'll receive a warning from the rear cross-traffic alert. The blind-spot warning will let you know when a vehicle enters your blind spots. The lane departure warning can sense unintentional drifting and steer your Maxima back into place.
