Unlike many class competitors that disappear into traffic, the Maxima has a bold and in-your-face look that is truly refreshing. Its exterior features a large "V-Motion" front grille and all models come standard with intelligent auto LED headlights and DRLs. SR and Platinum models also get LED foglights, a power panoramic sunroof, and an auto-dimming driver-side mirror. The base model rides on 18-inch machine-finish alloys, which increase in size to 19 inches for the rest of the range. The SR is the sporty looker in the lineup, with black-out treatment for its wheels and exterior accents.
The Maxima is classified as a full-size sedan and is nearly the same size as competitors such as the Toyota Crown and Dodge Charger. Photos do not do this car justice: out in the real world, it seems larger and has more of a striking presence. The 2023 Maxima has an overall length of 192.8 inches, a width of 73.2 inches without the mirrors, and a height of 56.5 inches. The track width is 62.4 inches front and rear, and rolls on a 109.3-inch wheelbase. The base model weighs in at 3,608 lbs, the SR weighs 3,717 pounds, and the Platinum comes in at 3,730 lbs.

The base SV and flagship Platinum are offered in the same six exterior colors: Deep Blue Pearl, Super Black, Gun Metallic, Brilliant Silver Metallic are no-cost options, while Pearl White Tricoat and Scarlet Ember Tintcoat go for an extra $395. SR models reduce the palette to Super Black, Gun Metallic, and Pearl White TriCoat, losing the extra-cost Sunset Drift ChromaFlair that was available last year.
