| Handling |
| |
 |
Swift. Smooth. Maxima. Maxima's all-new D-platform delivers a sporty ride without harshness. Stiffer and lighter, it paves the way for quicker acceleration and improved handling.
All-new performance-steering system responds to vehicle speed for a sporty feel at cruising speeds and easy manuevering when you're parking.
A new shock absorber mounting system means more performance and less roughness. While an available sport-tuned suspension maxed out handling without sacrificing ride comfort. |

| Premium Interior |
| |

|
Driver's command center Exhilaration for one - A streamlined cockpit, purposefully designed to center around you. Paddle shifters are within easy reach. For a custom fit, the driver's seat features an available adjustable thigh extension to reduce fatigue. Even the center console and high armrests are designed so you feel enveloped. Being in control has never felt so powerful.

 |
Atmosphere
Premium is all around - Open up to an available dual panel glass moonroof and take it all in. Close the rear window power shade to keep rear passengers out of the sun. Then let the mood lighting set the ambience. Sport model interiors are trimmed in metallic, premium models are trimmed in eucalyptus wood-tone.

Seating Amenities
Comfort for all - Maxima's bucket-style seating is inviting for five. When there's only four on board, fold down the available rear armrest to reveal audio and air conditioning controls. Up front, the temperature is just right thanks to Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control and available heated seats. An available climate controlled driver's seat also features a cool-down function, while the driver's memory seat system stracks favorite positions for two. |

Nissan Safety
Six standard air bags [1] along with an Anti-lock Braking (ABS) and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) [2] are among the more than 50 standard safety features you'll find on every Maxima. It's all part of the Nissan Safety Shield, our comprehensive approach to help inspire confidence every time you get behind the wheel.
Maxima's standard Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps provide maximum braking power in any situation.
Front-wheel drive improves grip to keep you moving forward in poor conditions.
Front-seat Active Head Restrains move toward your head to help reduce the chances of whiplash.
Standard Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) helps you stay on your steered path. [1]
Zone Body construction with front/rear crumple zones.
Snug Kids Child Safety Guide helps you find the ideal car seat. While the Maxima LATCH system (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) lets you secure LATCH-Campatible child restraints without having to use seat belts or a locking clip.
|
[1] VDC cannot prevent accidents due to abrupt steering, carelessness or dangerous driving techniques. Always drive safely.
[2] Air bags are only a supplemental restraint system; always wear your seat belt. Even with the occupant-classification sensor, rear-facing child restraints should not be placed in the front-passenger's seat. Also, all children 12 and under should ride in the rear seat properly secured in child restraints, booster seats, or seat belts according to their size. Air bags will only inflate in certain accidents. See your owner's manual for more details. |
