2022 Nissan Maxima enters the 2022 model year with some minor changes compared to the 2021 model year. Platinum trim comes standard for the heated rear seats for next year, and the Scarlet Timber Tintrobe replaces the Carnelian Red Tintrobe on the exterior color palette. . And that’s all she writes to change matter. On the other hand, nothing has changed but the price of the flagship sedan, which has increased dramatically. Entry level in 2021 Maxima SV starts at $37,240, $150 more than the same period in 2021. Add a destination of $975 and you’re at $38,395.
The Maxima SR starts at $43,375 after reaching its destination, also up $150. Platinum costs $43,525 i.e. dollars230 more power than the 2021 version. Power for all versions still comes from a 3.5-liter V6 that makes 300 horsepower and 261 pound-feet of torque. All of that is transmitted to the front wheels through an Xtronic continuously variable transmission.
We are not sure what Nissan working with Maxima, if any. Usually the most expensive Toyota CamryThe XSE V6, is slightly more powerful with 301 hp and 267 lb-ft, but comes standard much better and costs $1,500 less than the entry-level Maxima SV. Thanks to Maxima’s price increase, 2022 Honda Accord The Touring 2.0T is currently $20 cheaper than the Nissan. Correct, Fit give up 48 horses, but Honda’s motobike challenge Mazda6 to enjoy driving, and Honda has a ten-speed automatic transmission that is more consistent and comfortable to start with. Only Volkswagen Arteon Ask for the same price as Maxima and we think Arteon Better looking from the inside out.
Perhaps all of that is why, for a 3,700-pound block of metal 56.5 inches tall, the eighth-generation Maxima can fly under a lot of radar. We know why the Mazda6 is selling slowly here compared to other sedans in the segment, but the Maxima is hitting similar numbers right now, and that’s a shame.
