If you like to hear the engine roar while you're commuting to work or taking a Sunday drive up the coast, you'll love the 2017 Nissan Maxima's powerful engine. The 2017 Maxima comes standard with a 3.5L V6 that produces 300 hp. That's enough to thrust the Maxima from zero to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds (according to the manufacturer, when new)—fast enough to give your morning commute a little extra thrill, especially when you switch on the standard sport driving mode. For even more excitement, opt for the SL trim, which has paddle shifters and a sport-tuned suspension for more hands-on performance.
The 2017 Nissan Maxima will make you feel like you're stepping into business class when you climb into your car. The base trim comes standard with "razor steel" interior accents, while the Platinum trim has mahogany accents. A leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob are standard, while leather upholstery is standard on all but the base trim.
If you live in a chilly climate, you'll appreciate the remote start that comes standard on the 2017 Nissan Maxima. Just press your key fob to start the car without setting foot into the elements. Once you slide into a toasty warm car all winter long, you'll never want to be without remote start again.
Whether you want to listen to your favorite playlist or take a business call on the road, the 2017 Nissan Maxima makes it easy to stay connected. The 2017 Maxima comes standard with the NissanConnect® infotainment system, offering Apple CarPlay® and Bluetooth® integration. All of this technology is easy to manage with the standard eight-inch touchscreen.
Do you deal with aches and pains after driving, or need more comfortable seating for long rides? If so, the 2017 Nissan Maxima may prevent you from feeling sore. The Maxima comes standard with zero-gravity front seats, with optional heating and ventilation. If you need more support, choose the SV trim or higher to get driver's seat thigh support extension and lumbar support.
