Maxima Platinum

The Platinum is the top-of-the-line Maxima model, and edits out the SR’s sport-tuned suspension and paddle shifters, but adds the following:

  • Automatic wipers
  • Premium leather upholstery
  • Rear window sunshade

Maxima 40th Anniversary Package

Upgrade the Platinum trim to commemorate the Nissan Maxima’s 40-year history with a two-tone paint job, unique upgrades to the interior and exterior, premium leather upholstery, and heated rear seats.

Performance

Due to the V6 engine, the Nissan Maxima has strong acceleration and easy handling. It offers 24 mpg combined, 20 in the city, and 30 on the highway. Acoustic glass, ample sound-deadening materials, and active noise cancellation give you a quiet ride in the cabin, and a premium feel when you are driving.

The suspension does well at absorbing bumps and road imperfections without skimping on passenger comfort. If you prefer a firmer suspension, the upgraded sport-tuned suspension in the SR trim will allow for sharper handling. Overall, the Nissan Maxima rides smoother than its counterparts on the market, and is more like an entry-level luxury car, than just a family sedan.

Which Nissan Maxima is Right for You?

Regardless of which trim you choose, the 2021 Nissan Maxima offers a sense of luxury alongside sportiness and accessibility. This car was designed to make you, the driver, feel good. While the SV offers many safety features, the SR model takes it up a notch with its stiffer suspension and sharper handling, plus additional safety features. Ultimately, it’s up to how you want your vehicle to feel when you drive, and what safety and tech features are most important to you. The truth is, whichever model you choose, you’ll drive away with a fantastic luxury-styled car with amazing safety and comfort features.
