Performance Capabilities

Coming from the well-established VQ series, a 3.5-L engine block propels the 2022 Nissan Maxima SR and Platinum. This V-6 powerhouse kicks out up to 300 total horsepower on an SAE-approved scale. Cranking out 261 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated powertrain utilizes a direct ignition system for combustion. All power flows from the robust Xtronic CVT system to the front wheels. By pressing the Sport Mode button, you will optimize the response from the engine, gearbox, steering, and suspension. This unique mode activates the Active Sound Enhancement for aggressive acoustics on the road. This full-size Nissan sedan can also operate in Normal Mode, which focuses on efficiency and comfort. With adjustments from the Intelligent Engine Brake, this lavish sedan comes to a controlled halt on paved surfaces. Applying each brake in a unique sequence, the Intelligent Trace Control keeps the 2022 Maxima balanced on curved roads. Bumps on the road won’t bother this premium Nissan model, which has the Active Ride Control. Additionally, a sport-tuned suspension system bolsters the entire chassis.

Providing eight-way seating positions, the unique Zero Gravity seats are standard in the first row of the 2022 Nissan Maxima SR and Platinum. A memory system instantly recalls the custom settings for the driver’s seat and outside mirrors on the SR model. You’ll get an additional memory function for the steering wheel in the Platinum edition. Both Nissan sedans flaunt climate-controlled seating in the front row. However, only the Platinum has factory-installed heated seats for the rear passengers. In fact, this high-end trim is furnished with premium Ascot leather upholstery and diamond-shaped leather inserts. By contrast, the SR model has Alcantara inserts for contrasting aesthetics. A charcoal headliner is another deluxe ornamentation inside the cabin. You’ll be astounded by the elegant Satin Birdseye Maple Wood finish inside the Platinum. Each model has several other premium interior features, such as a dual-zone HVAC system with remote activation and LED ambient lighting. You’ll appreciate the Platinum’s exclusive power sunshade on the rear windows.
