The 2020 Nissan Maxima has transformed the sedan into something much more than a car that gets you to work, drops the kids at school, or takes you up to the cabin in the hills. It’s a driving experience like no other. Here are a few reasons the 2020 Nissan Maxima will transform your drive.silver nissan maxima

Performance

When you think performance, you think engine first. So did Nissan. They put in their 3.5-liter VQ V-6 engine to make the ride an exhilarating one. Engineered with anodized pistons, sodium-filled exhaust valves, and a high-flow tuned induction system, the 2020 Maxima delivers with 300 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque. 

Paired with Nissan’s Xtronic CVT transmission your commute changes from ho-hum to oh-boy. The Xtronic CVT features Nissan’s dynamic step shifting, an adaptive shift controller, and wider gear ratio, resulting in a more adventurous drive.

Nissan’s independent multi-link rear suspension with monotubed shocks, and a lower stance not only looks great, but it also drives great. The Maxima delivers exhilarating performance and a comfortable ride all in one.

Switch into Sport Mode and enjoy sharpened throttle response, increased steering feel, and enhanced transmission tuning for a thrilling ride. The Maxima even has an available Active Sound Enhancement feature that pumps a powerful engine note into the cabin for a pulse raising ride.

For a superb driving experience, you can upgrade to the SR trim and enjoy a track inspired Sport Tuned suspension with a larger front stabilizer bar, stiffer springs, and a rear spoiler. When the drive gets fun, you can use the steering wheel mounted paddle shifters, then taking those curves on that short-cut back road is like taking corners on the track.

Technology

The Maxima’s Dynamic Drive Technology suite takes advantage of all the advanced technology available today. Intelligent Engine Brake used with the Xtronic CVT takes engine power and uses it to decelerate. Intelligent Trace Control applies brake pressure to specific wheels to help you hug that corner. Active Ride Control uses engine torque and brake pressure to smooth out your ride over those pesky bumps in the road.

Nissan’s Brake Assist/Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) works by detecting brake force, and applying more when it senses extreme pressure. The EBD system can even sense when there are passengers in the rear and apply additional brake pressure to the rear wheels to compensate for the additional weight.

Comfort

What’s a smooth ride without comfort? The Maxima is available with diamond quilted leather seats, or the ultra-high-end Alcantara. Zero gravity seats make your drive feel like soaring through the skies.

Maxima even has an available Remote Engine Start system with Intelligent Climate Control. Not only can you start your car remotely, but you can also set the cabin’s temperature. The Maxima responds based on external climate readings to get your car to the perfect indoor environment. It will even heat or cool your seats before you climb in.

There’s a lot to like about the 2020 Nissan Maxima. Come in and test drive one today and see for yourself how your drive can be transformed.
