The Nissan Maxima is the Japanese brand's top-tier full-size sedan. The Maxima offers a comfortable ride along with sportier-than-expected handling for its class, and it can also be had with a good level of luxury gear installed. All versions of the four-door, front-wheel drive Nissan are motivated by a 3.5-liter V6 that generates 290 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque. A continuously-variable automatic transmission is the only gearbox available with the Maxima.
