2021 Nissan Maxima USA Redesign, Changes
2021 Nissan Maxima USA Redesign, Changes – Maxima received a more thorough refresh for 2020 which included exterior and interior updated styling and a number of new features.
Slight change to the 2021 Maxima but Nissan has made the Maxima Suite driver-a standard help feature across the board. This Suite includes blind-spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, departure-line warnings, and automatic high-beam headlamps.
The sporty SR Model now comes standard with the previously optional Premium package, which includes sunroof panoramas, 360-degree camera systems, rear automatic emergency braking, driver seats with memory function, and Auto-dimming exterior mirrors.

For 2020 we recommend the SR model for a balanced offering of value, luxury, and athletic, but now that it has even more standard features than last year, Nissan has raised its price into the $90 of the high-end Platinum trim.
We thought the $90 was worth a good upgrade to Platinum, as it adds power-Adjustable column steering, a windscreen rain-sensing, power-operated rear blinds, leather armchairs filled with diamond-plated inserts, and wooden interior trim.
If you are feeling spendy, an additional $1140 buys a backup package and maximizes the Maxima with a heated back seat, a charcoal colored headliner, two-tone wrapped leather steering wheel, and exclusive 19-inch wheels.
2021 Nissan Maxima Engine
Maxima is one of the faster full-size sedans, and the V-6 engine sounds good when pushed hard. 3.5-liter V-6 makes 300 horsepower and moves Maxima along with the goal.
Continuous variable automatic transmission (CVT), however, diverts from the Maxima sports-sedan mission. In our testing, a Maxima Platinum ran from zero to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds, out speeding up rivals like the KIA CADENZA and Buick LaCrosse.
Maxima handles well for its size. The suspension is well-damped and firmly to the point that may be too rigid for the class. Maxima’s small body exhibit rests in aggressive cornering maneuvers, and in our tests, Maxima SR easily outhandled its competitors.
With a good fuel economy assessment as well as above-average results in our real-world testing, a powertrain Maxima proves itself skilled in mixing performance and efficiency. The long highway mileage also makes it a perfect remote companion. During our 200-mile highway fuel-economic testing route, we exceeded the value of the EPA Maxima, achieving 32 impressive MPG.

Maxima offers a room for five in a nicely executed cabin full of soft-touch materials, simple controls, and many High-End features. The legroom of the front seat is one of the best in its class, while the main room is average. The backseat space is not generous as in larger rivals such as the Chevrolet Impala and Toyota Avalon.
Power-Adjustable Driver and front passenger seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel and Shift key, dual-zone automatic climate control, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and push-button standard Start across the board. One of the smallest rods in the category means Maxima begins with a loss in cargo transport; However, the larger cubbies are a comfortable place to store everyday items, and rear seatbacks fold down to accommodate larger items.
2021 Nissan Maxima Specs
An 8.0-inch Infotainment touchscreen system is standard throughout the range of Maxima, and we find it easy to use. The Infotainment system can be used as a touch screen, but there is also a redundant button on the center stack for quick access to common adjustments such as audio volumes and climate control.
The system provides remote access vehicle monitoring and emergency services. Parents of teen drivers can appreciate the speed, limit, and night hour warnings, and the system automatically contacts emergency services when the airbag deploys after the accident. Able to track the location of Maxima in terms of useless theft, such as its remote Start and door-access keys.
Nissan offers an entirely flat protection package. Additional protection is available at an additional cost through the dealer, but the standard period — a three-year or 36,000-limited warranty and a five-year or 60,000-mile powertrain warranty — must match most buyers. In the segment, the LaCrosse and CADENZA offer greater coverage.
