I love my Maxima

I fell in love with the new bodystyle Maxima when it came out in 2016. I have it now for 7 years now with 99,212 miles and it is still drives smoothly. It's my baby. I am planning to put another 100,000 miles. I have no single problem at all but of course I am faithfully get it serviced. Sad that this will be the last year that they are making the Maxima. By the way, I named her Maxie.

Thumbs up all the way!

We have nothing but good things to say about our new Maxima. It seems to be a well built car, not to mention the unbelievable throttle response. Ours is the Platinum edition, but the way it goes through the curves it's easy to forget we're in a 4 dr sedan! Pleasure to drive!

2023 Nissan Maxima review: Our expert's take

By Jane Ulitskaya

Shoppers considering the Nissan Maxima will need to move fast, at least if they plan to buy a new model. 2023 marks the Maxima’s last year, with production ending by mid-2023, according to a statement from Nissan. For 2023, the Maxima will sing its swan song wearing a new logo and larger price tags across its three available trims (SV, SR and Platinum).

Nissan claims its electrification efforts are the reason for the current Maxima’s demise and hints that the nameplate may return in EV guise in the future. It’s likely the model’s underwhelming sales also played a role, however: Nissan sold only 3,753 units of the Maxima in the first half of 2022 — that’s compared to 44,375 Sentras and 78,610 Altimas.

What’s New?

The Maxima is not going out with any fanfare or special editions for its final run. Instead, the sedan will fade into the shadows with only minor tweaks for 2023. The sole change to the exterior is an updated logo, while the range-topping Platinum trim gets new semi-aniline leather seats and illuminated kickplates inside.

Powertrain and MPG

Under the hood, a 300-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine and continuously variable automatic transmission return unchanged. Front-wheel drive is standard with no all-wheel-drive option available. The powertrain’s capable acceleration, as documented in our 2019 review, comes with a fuel-economy tradeoff — the sedan gets an EPA-rated 20/30/24 mpg city/highway/combined. Meanwhile, rivals like the Lexus ES offer notably higher fuel-economy figures.
