2022 Nissan Maxima Luxury Sporty Sedan

The 2022 Nissan Maxima comes in hot as a five-passenger sedan equipped to exhilarate Auburn roads. The Maxima flaunts its athleticism with a 300-horsepower V6 engine paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). All 2022 Nissan Maxima’s come as front-wheel-drive (FWD) that handles tight corners and is swift when necessary.

The Maxima brings minor changes from the last generation’s model, including dropping the entry-level S and SL trims. The new lineup of the 2022 Maxima minimizes its models to the SV, SR, and Platinum trims but maximizes its innovations. Thus, you get more standard amenities and safety features unlike ever before.  To celebrate the longevity of the model, Nissan has released a 40th Anniversary Special Edition trim level that takes luxury to the next level. 

With these four trim levels to choose from, you have an array of luxury, safety, and conveniences at your helm. Some comforts include an 8-inch infotainment center with smartphone integration, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and more. 

You quickly relax when behind the wheel of the all-new Maxima due to an extended list of active safety features. You can expect; automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, and more.

Upgrade your Maxima for additional performance with a sport-tuned suspension or luxuries like a heated steering wheel and rear USB ports. If you prefer to add more curb appeal to your Maxima, the dual-panel moonroof adds to both the interior and exterior aesthetics. 

Regardless of which trim level you choose, the 2022 Nissan Maxima offers a distinct mixture of performance, interior space, and comfort that outshines its competition. 

Nissan Maxima Performance

Unlike Any Other In Its Class.

The 2022 Nissan Maxima challenges other large-sedans by being one of the quickest. The 3.5-liter V6 engine delivers 300 horsepower, 261 lb-ft of torque that revs nicely due to the continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The Maxima is making a name for itself by out-accelerating its rivals and going from 0-60 mph in 5.8 seconds. The 2022 Nissan Maxima out-handles its competition with a finely damped suspension, making it a top vehicle choice.

Even though Maxima has the stance, performance, and handling of a sports car, it also has a fuel economy rating of 20 mpg city/30 mpg highway (24 mpg combined), making Nissan Maxima an affordable luxury sedan that charms families and those who yearn for extra room and excitement while on the road.
