There are three trims to choose from for 2023: the SV, SR, and Platinum. All are powered by a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine producing 300 hp and 261 lb-ft. Power is sent to the front wheels via a CVT automatic. Standard features on all models include automatic LED headlights, heated front seats, leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control with rear-seat vents, and an eight-inch touchscreen display, navigation, in-car Wi-Fi, and adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, pedestrian detection, and lane-departure warning. Depending on the trim, features available higher up in the range include sport-tuned suspension, a panoramic sunroof, rain-sensing window wipers, wood trim, and rear seat heating.
Nissan offers the Maxima with a comprehensive list of standard features, but new owners still have the option to add some extras. The base model is offered with optional dual rear USB charging ports for $140 or the SR's rear spoiler for $350. The exterior can be upgraded with a set of machined 18-inch alloy wheels for $900. All trims are available with rear rocker-panel moldings for $435 or a sporty rear bumper diffuser for $370. The lower two trims can be fitted with the Platinum's illuminated kickplates for $375.
