• 2016 Nissan Maxima vs. 2016 Honda Accord
  If you want the roomy mid-size sport sedan but don’t need 300 horses, the Honda Accord offers a 185 hp 2.4L four-cylinder engine that achieves an estimated 31 mpg with its automatic transmission.¹ However, you may not find the navigation apps or remote start with climate control that is included on every Maxima unless you choose a higher trim Accord such as the EX or EX-L. The Accord’s trunk offers an extra cubic foot of cargo space and over three extra inches of leg room in the back when compared to the Maxima.
• 2016 Nissan Maxima vs. 2016 Volkswagen Passat
  The VW Passat looks beautiful inside with leather-feel seats on every trim, plus extended trunk and legroom over the Maxima. However, the base 1.8L four-cylinder turbocharged TSI engine only manages 170 hp even if it ups the fuel mileage to an estimated 29 mpg combined compared to the 300 hp and 24 mpg found on the Nissan.¹ You will give up almost all the tech and comfort upgrades if you opt for the smaller VW engine while the Maxima includes the conveniences even on the base trim. The available 3.6L V6 trim includes navigation and remote start with climate control while pumping out 280 hp for a fun and athletic ride.
• 2016 Nissan Maxima vs. 2016 Toyota Avalon
  You still won't reach that 300 hp mark in the Toyota Avalon, but its standard 3.5L V6 engine with sportmatic transmission provides a respectable 268 horses while achieving a comparable estimated 24 mpg combined.¹ The navigation app is included on every trim level just like the Maxima, but remote start was not included on any of the trim packages for this year. The Avalon was also offered as a Hybrid reaching an estimated 40 mpg combined¹, but you give up 100 hp to its electric motor and four-cylinder gas engine combination. The gas version gives you the largest trunk at 16 cubic feet and offers five extra inches for rear legroom over the Maxima. If you opt for the Hybrid Avalon, you give up two cubic feet to the battery system and then you nearly match the cargo space of the Maxima.
