For over three decades, the Nissan Maxima has offered a stylish and sporty option for drivers seeking a comfortable sedan. The automotive industry exists in a constant state of evolution, and keeping up with changes can be quite challenging, to say the least. For any manufacturer to be able to stay up to date and ahead of the curve takes innovation and a genuine commitment to excellence. However, Nissan has always been up to the job, and the 2022 Nissan Maxima is proof.
Since its earliest days, Nissan has always dedicated itself to technological mastery and cutting-edge engineering. With such a wide range of choices for a sedan currently on the market, finding the right one that "checks all the boxes" can sometimes appear to be an arduous task. Fortunately, we're here to present you with the information you need to find the car that works for you. It is time to see what the 2022 Nissan Maxima has to offer. From its powerful V6 engine to its many luxury and safety features, this is one premium model that you will enjoy driving wherever your life on the road takes you.

As a consumer, you want to get the most for your money. The best things in life are free, but those we need tend to cost money. Performance is a very important factor for some when it comes to finding the ideal car. The Nissan Maxima doesn't lack for performance, and no matter what trim you choose, you'll find that pristine engineering exists across the board. Underneath the hood, you'll find a standard 3.5L V6, capable of generating 300 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque. As we've seen with Nissan in the past, they believe that accessibility and performance should go together, which is why this engine is standard on every Maxima.
What makes this V6 unique is one of Nissan's innovations, CVTCS (Continuous Variable Valve Timing Control System). Another groundbreaking design from Nissan, this feature can adjust valve timing on the fly. Not only does this provide better fuel economy, but it also works to lower the carbon emissions that all engines produce. This technology was at one time only available to high-end performance engines, such as the ones found in sports cars. Now, it's more available than ever, thanks to Nissan's unyielding pursuit of excellence.
The transmission that Nissan equips their V6 with is the Xtronic CVT (Continuous Variable Transmission). This gearless transmission allows the engine to always run at its optimal speed and eliminates the need for constant gear changes. This promotes better fuel efficiency and allows quicker acceleration. To give you an idea of how these components result in top-tier performance, the 2022 Nissan Maxima is rated for a combined 24 MPG, and it can launch from 0-60 MPH in a mere 5.8 seconds. This is next-level performance for the modern world, and there is no surprise why the Maxima is affectionately known as Nissan’s “four-door sports car.”
Here's a question that's rather redundant; have you ever known anyone who favored a sedan that was uncomfortable? Of course not, which is why you'll find all the creature comforts and amenities readily available in the 2022 Nissan Maxima. As you step inside the vehicle, you're immediately inundated with luxury normally reserved for vehicles at a much higher price point. This is a level of comfort fit for a king or queen. As with the impressive performance underneath the hood, several comforting facets are standard on all trims, meaning you'll feel pampered when you're behind the wheel.
Some of the standard interior features of the Maxima include an 8-way power driver's seat, a leather-wrapped shift knob, and dual-zone climate control. Higher trim levels have some extra features that are fit for royalty, including climate-controlled front seats, a heated steering wheel, satin faceted interior trim, and Ascot leather diamond-quilted seats. It should also be noted that the 2022 Maxima boasts Nissan's unique Zero Gravity seats, which were the result of research on the human body in space and are designed to promote natural body posture. Just another way Nissan stays ahead of the curve.
Infotainment centers are as standard as seat belts in the modern age, and Nissan outfits all trim levels with some wonderful technological treats. Included on all 2022 Maxima's are a 7" advanced driving assistance display and an 8" color touch screen. Nissan Connect services, SiriusXM, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and compatibility with Android and Apple are also standard. As a bonus, a 3-month subscription to SiriusXM is also included. The introductory trim features an AM/FM/CD audio system with eight speakers, and for the audiophile, upper trims have a Bose audio system with 11 speakers and active noise cancellation. With all these wonderful features that the 2022 Nissan Maxima has to offer, you might find it hard to get out once you park.
Performance and comfort are always ideal when considering the purchase of any vehicle. But knowing that you're safe and sound when on the road is not only priceless, it's peace of mind that you can't possibly think to put a price tag on. Like so many other offerings that come with the 2022 Nissan Maxima, there are a wide variety of safety features. What's better, several come standard across all three trims. Some of the standard features on all three trims include a tire pressure monitoring system with a fill alert, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. And just so you're at ease a little bit more in your purchase, The 2022 Nissan Maxima was awarded a five-star safety rating by the NHTSA.
Several driver assistance features, which Nissan has always been efficient in developing, also come standard. Intelligent cruise control and driver alertness are both standard on all of Maxima's trims. Intelligent cruise control refers to sensors that help monitor traffic patterns and apply the data to cruise control when it's in use. Intelligent driver alertness is easily one of Nissan's most unique breakthroughs in driver assistance technology. By monitoring steering patterns, this technology can help monitor driver alertness. Intelligent trace control is also standard and helps provide braking and engine power in turns to ensure that your commute is smooth and unhindered.
Since 2020, Nissan has equipped several models of their fleet with their Nissan Safety Shield 360. This is a suite that monitors 360 degrees outside of your vehicle. This is not only in place to provide protection to you, but it allows for extra vision on the other drivers and pedestrians in your immediate vicinity. It doesn't matter if you're on the road, backing up, or parking. This is technology specifically designed to keep everyone safe and mitigate many of the most common types of accidents. We all share the road and should never take anything for granted.
A standard feature on the entry-level trim is rear sonar detection, while front and rear sonar detection is found on the two upper trim levels. Another safety innovation from Nissan, this works like the echolocation used by bats to fly at night. It detects objects close to the bumpers of your car and helps keep more vision on the objects that we sometimes have difficulty seeing. However, it should also be noted that although the driving assistance technologies that Nissan has developed are impressive, cutting edge, and designed to provide an extra degree of safety when you're driving, they do not replace the responsible driving habits that come with experience.
There is a wide variety of manufacturers in the auto industry today. Every year, there are even more makes and models that promise to be a perfect solution for the discerning consumer and provide the most value for your money. However, the 2022 Nissan Maxima provides many of the items that others charge extra for as standard features. A better quality of life shouldn't come with a price tag, and being safe while on the road shouldn't cost consumers extra.
