2013 Nissan Maxima

Vehicle Description

As Nissan's flagship model, the 2013 Maxima offers breakthrough sports sedan styling, a driver-oriented cockpit, ample comfort and luxury, and an advanced drivetrain anchored by Nissan's legendary VQ-series V6 engine.

Maxima offers exclusive features not found anywhere else in Nissan's sedan lineup: an award-winning 290-horsepower engine that delivers exhilarating performance; sport-tuned chassis with the quickest steering ratio of any Nissan sedan; available 19-inch Hyper Silver-finished wheels with optional summer tires; available Dual Panel Moonroof; available heated and ventilated driver's seat for added comfort in all climates; sport seats with driver's thigh extension and contrasting stitching.

For 2013, enhancements include a new SV Value Package featuring 9-speaker Bose audio system, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, heated outside mirrors and a new Bose Audio Package.

The Sport Package is revised to add Monitor Package content (7-inch color monitor, USB connectivity, iPod in center console, RearView Monitor), plus climate-controlled driver's seat and Dark Hyper Silver-finished 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels.

Maxima is offered in 3.5 S and 3.5 SV, each powered by a standard 290-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine. Also standard is Nissan's smooth Xtronic CVT with manual and "DS" (drive sport) modes with available paddle shifters.

In creating driving performance worthy of Nissan's flagship, the Maxima body and chassis engineering teams worked together to create a secure feeling, virtually no torque steer during acceleration and a level of nimbleness that ultimately makes a car fun to drive. Maxima's suspension is designed to be both stimulating and relaxing, combining responsive handling with a comfortable ride.
