2022 Nissan Maxima for Sale in West Springfield, MA
Overview
The Maxima has provided sedan drivers with additional doses of space and comfort since 1985, when it debuted under the Datsun name. Along the way, this full-sized sedan has been the recipient of significant upgrades in its performance, materials, and amenities, earning it flagship status within the Nissan lineup. But all good things must come to an end, and with utility vehicles soaring in popularity, many manufacturers are slashing the number of sedans they produce. The Maxima will be a casualty after this model year, ending a run of eight generations.
Trims and Powertrain
The front-wheel-drive Maxima will end its tenure with a selection of three trims: SV, SR, and Platinum. Their 3.5-liter six-cylinder engine puts out an even 300 horses and 261 lb.-ft. of torque; its partner is a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The EPA has rated the full-sized sedan to return 20 miles per gallon around town and 30 mpg on the highway, making it ideal for comfortable commutes and extended road trips.
Standard Features by Trim Level
The SV may be the base trim, but it’s impressively equipped with features like remote start, keyless entry, automatic LED headlights, heated exterior mirrors with integrated turn-signal indicators, push-button start, automatic climate control (dual zone), an auto-dimming rearview mirror, Zero Gravity heated front seats (power-adjustable), a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter knob, an Advanced Drive-Assist display (7-inch diagonal), one USB-A and one USB-C port, and a 60/40-split fold-down back seat.
Fog lights and black exterior trim make the SR stand apart visually. Its exterior mirrors are enhanced with position memory, reverse tilt-down capability, and auto-dimming on the driver’s side. The luxury factor continues to ramp up with a heated steering wheel, top-notch leather upholstery with diamond-quilted inserts (ventilated in the front row), a dual-panel panoramic moonroof, ambient interior lighting, a driver’s seat with memory and extendable thigh support, a front passenger’s seat power lifter, more USB-A and USB-C ports, active noise cancellation, a HomeLink universal garage door opener, and track-inspired aluminum sport pedals. The Platinum has heated rear outboard seats, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a power rear-window sunshade, and a power tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel with position memory.
Active Safety and Infotainment Technologies
Nissan is a clear leader in advanced driver aids, and it has packed these features into the 2022 Maxima. Besides a rearview monitor, the SV gets standard forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, automatic high beams, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, driver attention alert, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors, and reverse automatic braking. The SR and Platinum add front parking sensors, intelligent lane intervention, and a surround-view monitor.
We’ve already mentioned the various USB ports in the Maxima trims, which help to keep all passengers charged and connected. The 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system does the rest, with smartphone integration (Android Auto and Apple CarPlay), navigation, an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming, and SiriusXM satellite radio. The SV gets a good sound system with eight speakers, while the SR and Platinum pamper their occupants with an 11-speaker Bose Premium Audio System that uses Centerpoint 2 surround-sound technology.
