2020 Nissan Maxima

Maxima monitors your speed and distance between you and the car ahead, and can let you know if you need to slow down. It can also automatically engage the brakes to help avoid a frontal collision or lessen the severity of an impact. And when it detects a pedestrian in the crosswalk, it can stop you in your tracks.

Save your bumper. Maxima with Rear Automatic Braking watches out directly behind you for stationary items you might not see. If it detects something and you fail to stop, it can automatically engage the brakes to help avoid a rear collision or lessen the severity of an impact.

Wait. Was that a car over there? Maxima with Blind Spot Warning keeps an eye on the blind spot area and gives you a heads up if it detects a vehicle hiding there.

Fear no parking lot. When you're backing out of a space, Maxima with Rear Cross Traffic Alert watches around the rear of your Maxima and can warn you about cars it detects creeping up on you from either side.

Hold it right there. Lane Departure Warning helps make sure you change lanes only when you mean to. If the system detects that you’re drifting over, haptic feedback on the steering wheel can let you know.

Standard High Beam Assist helps out with night vision, while being considerate of your fellow drivers. It automatically switches to low-beam headlights when it detects a vehicle ahead, and turns the high beams back on when you need them.

What's up ahead? Maxima knows. Intelligent Forward Collision Warning watches up to two cars ahead, and when it detects sudden deceleration in front of you, it gives you a warning to slow down.

If you need to slam on the brakes, Brake Assist detects how hard you’re braking, and if it senses you are in an emergency, it helps to apply maximum braking force.

Under certain hard braking situations, the ABS is able to pump the brakes faster than you possibly can, helping to prevent wheel lockup and allowing you to continue to steer while braking heavily.

Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) helps you maintain your steered path, while the Traction Control System (TCS) helps reduce wheelspin in low-traction situations.

The LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system lets you secure compatible child restraints in the back seat without a seat belt or locking clip. Nissan’s Snug Kids® is our Child Safety Seat Fit Program.

Using the Nissan Intelligent Key®, you can start the Maxima remotely and heat up or cool down the cabin before getting inside. So every time you climb in, it’s at the perfect temperature.

Available climate-controlled front seats offer individual heating and cooling for driver and passenger, making comfort as easy as turning a knob.

You like it one way. Your front passenger likes it another. With Dual-Zone, both of you are happy.

Maxima’s sport-styled front seats are deeply bolstered to help keep you in place – even during high-G cornering. Plus, inspired by zero-gravity space travel, their natural, neutral seating position can help reduce fatigue.

Keep forgetting things on your back seat? The innovative Rear Door Alert system gives you a visual and audible alert that can remind you to check your rear seats before leaving your Maxima.

Under the hood lies its beating heart: Nissan’s legendary 300 horsepower, 3.5-liter, VQ V6 engine. From sodium-filled exhaust valves and anodized pistons, to the high-flow tuned induction system, it’s designed to exhilarate from idle to redline.

Engineered to satisfy even the most die-hard enthusiast, Maxima’s next-generation Xtronic CVT features dynamic step shifting, wider gear ratio coverage, and an adaptive shift controller. The result is a more connected, spirited driving experience – all without sacrificing fuel economy.

Adrenaline on tap. Put it in Sport, and you’ll sharpen throttle response, steering feel and transmission tuning for a pulse-raising ride. The system even pumps a more powerful engine note into the cabin, thanks to available Active Sound Enhancement.

Maxima's independent multi-link rear suspension with monotube shocks equals exhilarating performance and a more comfortable ride. And a lowered stance isn't just for looks, it gives you the handling and response you'd expect from the 4-Door Sports Car®.

Go take on your favorite roads. Maxima SR features a track-inspired suspension with stiffer springs and a larger front stabilizer bar.

The unique double-spoke wheels are at the intersection of sport and style.

A subtle design cue that makes a major statement.

Maxima SR's premium interior features dynamic diamond-quilted inserts, made from premium Italian-made Alcantara® – a material usually reserved for high-end performance cars.

The paddle shifters are mounted on the steering column, so they’re always within easy reach – even on corners when Maxima’s steering wheel is clocked 90° – making the perfect gear ratio just a fingertip-blip away.
