2022 Nissan Maxima

Engine Type

Standard on the 2022 Maxima is a powerful yet practical 3.5-liter V-6 engine that produces 300-horsepower that helps move the vehicle along with more purpose than imaginable. It receives a seamless wave of power thanks to the Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) that combines incredibly smooth driving with uncompromised fuel efficiency to give buyers the most out of their vehicles. The CVT achieves this through advanced features like dynamic step shifting, wider gear ratio coverage, and an adaptive shift controller. Efficiency is highlighted even further when buyers take a look at its incredible 30mpg on the highway. Buyers can experience all the power the Maxima has to offer with its incredible 0 to 60mph jump in just 5.7 seconds, and still feel the smooth and steady ride that the vehicle is praised for.

Driving and Handling

The 2022 Nissan Maxima is flexible, as it caters to the driver and the situation it’s in on the road. Around town or on the busy freeway, the updated suspension fully absorbs any bumps one might experience. When handling quieter roads that have more difficult corners, the Maxima handles it with ease and flexibility. This is thanks to the Intelligent Trace Control which brakes each wheel individually for smoother steering. Other features that help drivers feel confident on the road include the Intelligent Engine Brake for smooth deceleration when cornering to a stop and Active Ride Control for extra brakes and adjustment to the torque to ensure a smoother ride through bumpier terrain.

Exterior Features

A beautiful and sleek vehicle awaits those who choose the 2022 Nissan Maxima. Its low, sculpted, and streamlined design gives it all its beauty while its aerodynamic profile allows it to glide through the streets with ease. It maintains its unique signature boomerang headlights and the LED signature taillights; but has added a bold V-Motion grille, quad-tipped exhaust finishers, and a beautiful floating roof design to complete the bold and luxurious Nissan Maxima look. Available in seven different colorways such as Pearl White TriCoat, Brilliant Silver Metallic, Gun Metallic, Sunset Drift ChromaFlair, Scarlet Ember Tintcoat, Deep Blue Pearl, and Super Black; the 2022 Maxima will be the star of the show when it’s on the road.

Interior Features

With a sculpted and sleek exterior, it’s only fair for the interior to be just as luxurious and bold. The interior of the 2022 Maxima is equally stunning in appearance and comfort, and once inside, the true nature of its beauty is revealed. Space is never an issue within the Maxima, as it offers 14.3 cu.-ft of trunk space and the best-in-class legroom for the front seats. Standard across the 2022 Maxima lineup are power-adjustable front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, dual-zone automatic climate control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and push-to-start.  It sports two different kinds of leathers (depending on the trim), such as Premium Ascot Leather in Charcoal and Cashmere; and regular leather in both Charcoal and Cashmere shades as well.

Standards

The center dashboard is adorned with the latest in Nissan’s technology.  An 8.0-inch infotainment system with the power to connect drivers with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and brings USB-C and USB-A ports along with it so it can connect to anything without needing a special cable or adapter. Nissan has also taken great care to include NissanConnect services for any additional needs and integrates Nissan Door to Door Navigation, a Display Commander (so drivers never have to look down or touch the display), and NissanConnect with Wifi. On top of the infotainment system, a 7-inch color display right on the driver’s side dashboard brings with it a home screen with a compass, audio streaming through Bluetooth connection, and even allows for turn-by-turn directions right in front of them so the driver can completely focus on the road without having to look away from the road. It will even warn the driver if the system and vehicle sense it needs to break. Buyers also have the option to upgrade their sound system to the Bose Premium Audio system that includes active noise cancellation, active sound enhancement, and acoustic laminated glass.

Options and Safety Features

There are three different trim options available for the 2022 Nissan Maxima. The options include the SV trim, the SR trim, and the Platinum trim; each offering its own unique features that will cater to those of every individual buyer. However, it is recommended to take the Platinum trim into consideration when purchasing as it adds the power-adjustable column, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a power-operated rear sunshade, full leather seats with diamond-quilted inserts, heated rear seats, and wood interior trim; all truly adding that extra touch of luxury. Standard on each trim, however, is the abundance of safety features everyone knows and loves. Features like the Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Automatic Braking, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and High Beam assist are all included within the Nissan Safety Shield 360 so buyers can always drive confidently and safely.
