Is the Nissan Maxima a good car?
Yes — the Nissan Maxima has a strong owner reputation and a clear identity as a stylish, performance-minded sedan. The all-generations owner rating is 4.55/5 across every model year in the data.
Owners consistently praise its comfort, design, features, smooth ride, and luxurious interior. They also frequently highlight the powerful performance, handling, and premium-feeling cabin.
Expert reviews rate the 2020 and 2019 models among the highest across all years.
The main trade-offs called out by experts are the CVT’s effect on driving feel, the back seat’s limited space, and the technology’s dated interface in some years.
26.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
Are Nissan Maxima models reliable?
Owners consistently praise the Maxima for its comfort, stylish design, and strong performance, and expert reviews reinforce its upscale feel and enjoyable driving character. Across the lineup, it also earns positive marks for its premium interior materials and solid road manners.
- Owners rate the Nissan Maxima between 4.31 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.
For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is most worth watching on older examples, where reliability feedback is more mixed and careful history checks matter most.
What should I look for when buying a used Nissan Maxima?

| Model Year | Accident-Free % |

| 2017 | 47.1% |
| 2016 | 46.7% |

- Infotainment: 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility
- Fuel efficiency: 24 mpg combined (20 mpg city, 30 mpg highway)
Which Nissan Maxima trim should I buy?
The 2021 Nissan Maxima offers these trims:
- SV: The base trim starts with the 8-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility, built-in WiFi hotspot, USB-A and USB-C ports, and Nissan Safety Shield 360. It suits you if you want the core Maxima experience with strong standard equipment.
- SR: This trim adds a sportier setup and sits above the SV, making it the better pick if you want a more performance-focused feel and are willing to spend more for it.
- Platinum: The top trim adds the most upscale feel, and the 40th Anniversary Edition package builds on it with a two-tone exterior, model-specific 19-inch gloss-black alloy wheels, black exterior trim, red semi-aniline leather upholstery, white gauge faces, and heated rear seats. It suits you if you want the most distinctive and richly appointed Maxima.

I love the car a lot and I would recommend a maxima to everyone. The features are great, especially the safety ones, my favorite one is the cooled seats. I love the interior. I don’t think it’s missing anything. To compare I like this models better then a lot of other brands and it doesn’t get better then this.

The Maxima is one of my favorite cars, it has lots of power and its very stylish. This particular one is has heated seats and steering wheel, I like that it has dual Sun roof. My only issue is that front sunroof doesnt have a cover up so to not let in any sun when too hot.

Why it stands out
The 2018 Nissan Maxima stands out as a sporty, well-equipped sedan that tries to blend performance with everyday comfort. It uses a 3.5-liter V6 rated at 300 horsepower and 261 pound-feet of torque, and Nissan pairs that engine with a continuously variable transmission. The car also gets larger sway bars to improve handling, while its sleek styling and “Four-door sports car” identity give it a more expressive personality than many mainstream sedans.
It is also notable for its standard equipment and safety content. An 8-inch color display with navigation is included across all trims, and Apple CarPlay was standard by the 2017 model year, with Android Auto added for 2018. For this model year, the Maxima also benefits from standard forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking, along with a range of available driver-assistance features such as adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a surround-view camera on the top trim. In 2018, Nissan made Android Auto standard as well.
The tradeoff is that the Maxima’s sporty mission is somewhat blunted by its transmission, which can dull responses, and it is not especially spacious for a large sedan. Even so, it remains appealing for buyers who want strong standard features, confident handling, and a premium feel without paying luxury-car prices.
