2018 Nissan Maxima features and Specs

The 2018 Nissan Maxima is back and better than ever. Never before has a car so seamlessly blended the functions of a luxury, sport, and family car quite like the Maxima.  And at the end of the day, it really is a car that's perfect for any occasion. Who could argue with that? So, with that said, let's get hyped about this amazing car by seeing all it really has to offer! 

New for 2018 

 

The Nissan Maxima always stood as one of the market's best sports luxury cars. And this year is no different, as Nissan added a few new tweaks to its popular sedan. For starters, you can now pick up the Maxima in a sexy Carnelian Red. And it couldn't look better with those new powerful black accents inside the grille.  

Inside the 2018 Maxima, you'll find that Android Auto is now a standard option-right alongside Apple CarPlay. And to ensure your smart phone's battery is always topped off, you'll even get two rear USB ports on the SL, SR, and Platinum trims. And to help you drive as safe as possible, you'll also get forward collision warnings with auto-emergency braking this time around! 

Sporty Nissan Performance 

Pop the hood of the 2018 Maxima and you'll find a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 engine. And yes, this motor packs just as much power as you'd expect from one of Nissan's best. With 300 hp and 261 lb-ft torque, this front-wheel-drive speedster will have no problems getting you where you need to go. In fact, that motor packs enough speed to rush from 0-60 in a rapid 5.8 seconds! That's about as fast as luxury cars come these days. So there's certainly plenty of room for fun here! There's even a sports mode button behind the shifter to tweak the suspension, throttle, shifting, and steering sensitivity to help you pump all the power you need out of this sporty Nissan. 

Along with some impressive power, you'll also receive stellar fuel economy with the Maxima - EPA Fuel Economy Estimate 21 city / 30 highway mpg*.  There's no doubt that you'll be saving quite a few dollars at the pump while driving this amazing vehicle. 

Just as Luxurious as it is Fast 

As you'd expect from a top-of-the-line luxury car, the 2018 Nissan Maxima packs plenty of comfort and cool features once you sit inside. 

Starting off in the driver's seat, you'll get an ultra-comfortable 8-way power adjustable seat. You can even opt for a heated seat if you want to combat those upcoming brisk autumn mornings.  

As a nice cool touch, you'll get a digital display in between the speedometer and tachometer on the instrument panel. By default, this reveals the outside temperature and time. But you can also use it to display just about everything you'd ever want to know about your Maxima's data. Some examples include tire pressure, a compass, time between services, how many miles until your gas is empty, and even a digital tachometer. As an extra nice touch, this display will even reveal how much power you're using at any given time. Now that's a unique and cool feature. 

As far as other tidbits go, you'll get dual zone climate controls. The 2018 Maxima also comes with an 8-inch touch display with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as a standard feature. Also included in this bundle is Bluetooth, audio streaming, and navigation. In other words, it's everything you could ever want from an infotainment screen!
