The 2017 Nissan Maxima is part of the car's eighth generation. It's offered in five trim levels: S, SV, SL, SR, and Platinum. Every Maxima boasts a 3.5L V6 engine generating 300 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque, paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive. Key safety features include standard Nissan Connect emergency telematics, and in higher trims, you'll benefit from forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. Infotainment and tech highlights include an 8-inch touchscreen display, navigation, and Apple CarPlay, an amenity newly standard for the 2017 model year. The Maxima has been praised for its sporty handling and upscale interior quality.
