The Nissan Maxima full-size sedan is now in its eighth generation. Under the hood is the familiar 3.5-litre V6 engine that produces 300 horsepower along with 261 pound-feet of torque. A continuously variable transmission sends power to the front wheels. Unlike the Altima, there is no all-wheel drive option. The Maxima comes in three trim levels including SL, SR and Platinum. Some of the highlights in the cabin are the “Zero Gravity” front seats and dual-pane panoramic roof.
