Used Nissan Maxima Platinum for Sale

If you don't typically think of Nissan as a luxury car brand, you've probably never taken a close look at the Nissan Maxima. This entry-level midsize luxury sedan is designed with your discerning tastes in mind—and this is doubly true on its range-topping Platinum trim. 

This particular trim debuted along with the Maxima's eighth generation in 2016, offering a punchy 3.5L V6 engine at 300 hp and a continuously variable transmission. Front-wheel drive is also standard on every Nissan Maxima Platinum, as is a spacious 14.3-cubic-foot trunk for your everyday gear.

While even the Nissan Maxima's base trim is well-appointed, the top-tier Platinum trim offers some serious indulgences that will impress you and your passengers. On the 2019 model, this includes heated and ventilated front seats for added comfort, as well as premium leather upholstery for a sophisticated look inside the cabin. Check out a used Nissan Maxima Platinum for yourself to see what all the hype is about.
