Overall Rating
Nissan Maxima is a four-door sedan with a sports car soul in it. Although it looks calm and restrained from the outside, it has a wild engine pumping underneath the hood.
Nissan Maxima is a four-door sedan with a sports car soul in it. Although it looks calm and restrained from the outside, it has a wild engine pumping underneath the hood. Only a car enthusiast would know the value of this sedan. Although Nissan boasts a huge range of cars, the Maxima holds its own legion of prospective buyers.
We Recommend the 3.5 SV version for its additional convenient features to keep you safe and comfortable during your commute. It also gets a truckload of cool additional features such as a panoramic sunroof for a better interior ambiance and some others like a heated steering wheel with manual tilting, manual telescoping, steering wheel memory, navigation system, and memory seats.

Nissan Maxima is a legit quick car with some remarkable performance figures at a price that won’t burn a hole in your pocket. The 2013 Nissan Maxima comes with one refined engine on offer. Both the trims are equipped with an iconic 3.5 Litre V6 engine option upfront, which cranks out 290 hp of power and 261 lb-ft of torque. The engine is mated to 2-speed CVT (continuously variable transmission), which is not up to the mark and sends all the power to the front wheels.
Nissan claims a 0-60 mph time of 5.8 seconds, which makes it the fastest accelerating car in its class. Moreover, it clocks a quarter-mile run in just 14.3 seconds, which is very quick when compared to some of its contemporaries. The sedan is also capable of reaching a top speed of 150 mph. When comparing the price tag, Nissan stands in the middle with Acura taking the tag for being the most expensive option in the competition.
