2020 Nissan Maxima

The 2020 Nissan Maxima's trim levels let you pick a sedan outfitted with the features you want and need. Go for the surprisingly equipped entry-level S, or watch the features add up with the SV, SL, SR, and Platinum. This year's model comes in one of seven factory paint options. Exterior details such as the signature boomerang headlights, blacked-out Nissan grille, and muscle-car-style cuts and grooves in the body make the new Maxima the sedan for those who want the perfect balance between sportiness and luxury. Topped off with Nissan's floating roof design, nothing looks quite like the 2020 Maxima.

Each 2020 Maxima is outfitted with a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that produces 300 horsepower and 261 pound-feet of torque. This engine is matched with a continuously variable automatic transmission and a front-wheel-drive system.

In addition to offering an exceptional amount of horsepower, the 2020 Maxima's powertrain can also achieve up to 30 miles per gallon on the highway. Engage the Maxima's Sport Mode to enhance your sedan steering, transmission tuning, and throttle response. If you want the highest-performing Maxima, the sport-minded SR trim is particularly attractive. This model comes equipped with paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel that let you take greater control over your shifting. It also adds the sport-minded suspension system that improves the Maxima's handling around corners.

The Maxima's zero-gravity front seats are designed to keep you ready for your destination by reducing fatigue. As you move up trim levels, the Maxima's upholstery is available with quilted leather-appointed inserts that look and feel great. The Maxima's weather-ready features include intelligent climate control that can be turned on with a remote engine starter and adjustable heating and cooling for the front seats. The rear door alert feature uses visual and audio alerts to let you know when you've left something in your back seat. In addition to all this, the 2020 Maxima also keeps you connected when you're on the go, thanks to its 8-inch touch screen. This screen is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, which allow you to pair your phone with your sedan for hands-free use of your favorite apps. Throw in the available 11-speaker Bose sound system to give new life to your favorite playlists.

Every Maxima comes standard with the Safety Shield 360 suite of six advanced driver-assist safety features. This suite includes the automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection system, rear automatic braking assist, a blind-spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, and automatic high beams. You also get plenty of conventional safety features, such as anti-lock braking systems, traction control, and a brake assist system that boosts your ability to stop when you need it. Opt for the 360-degree bird's-eye view camera to make maneuvering through tights space easier.
