How much does the 2022 Nissan Maxima cost?

Is the 2022 Nissan Maxima a good car?

The 2022 Nissan Maxima stands out as a large sedan that still leans into Nissan’s long-running “four-door sports car” identity. It delivers 300 horsepower from a 3.5-liter V6, and it can scoot to 60 mph in just under six seconds while still cornering well.

It also brings a strong list of standard equipment. An 8-inch color display with navigation is included across the range, and the Maxima offers a broad set of driver-assistance features, including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision warning, and rear cross-traffic alert on the top three trims.

For you, that means the Maxima makes the most sense if you want a well-equipped sedan with a premium feel and a more engaging driving character than many mainstream alternatives. 32.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Nissan Maxima reliable?

The 2022 Nissan Maxima brings a strong list of standard equipment and safety tech, including an 8-inch color display with navigation and a broad set of driver-assistance features. It also has a long-running formula that emphasizes comfort, power, and everyday usability.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that you should expect a sedan with a more specialized personality than a simple commuter, so condition and maintenance history matter more than headline specs.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Nissan Maxima?

At 73.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should run a vehicle history report on any Maxima you’re seriously considering and confirm whether prior damage was repaired properly. Put inspection priority on body panels, paint match, tire wear, and signs of uneven alignment, since those can reveal whether a car’s condition matches its listing. Focus on overall condition and documentation, not just mileage or price.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Nissan Maxima?

This is a moderate buyer’s market, so you can shop selectively without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 32.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 536 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.02% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 73.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $22,578, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Nissan Maxima's resale value?

The current average of $23,100 sits slightly below last year's $24,580.

That softer pricing suggests the Maxima is currently a more buyer-friendly used car than it was a year ago. If you plan to sell later, you should expect value retention to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the car has been maintained. For you, that means buying well matters: a cleaner example at a fair price is more likely to hold up better when it’s time to trade or sell.

Should I buy a 2022 Nissan Maxima or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 32.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 73.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.02% compared with last year.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $19,051, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $23,100 average.
• It offers a more relaxed, comfort-focused character with a long-running nameplate appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-market balance of equipment, power, and shopping flexibility, the 2022 is the better primary target. If your priority is saving money up front, the 2021 is the smarter secondary path, especially if you find a clean example with good maintenance records.
