Benefits of Buying a 2018 Nissan Maxima


When buying a new car, most people look for one that offers exceptional safety, reliability and performance. One vehicle that checks all those boxes is the 2018 Nissan Maxima. The Maxima, which has been in production since 1981, continues to attract drivers today due to its luxurious styling, high safety ratings, advanced technology and lively handling. Here are a few more reasons to get behind the wheel of a 2018 Maxima.

Superb Safety Ratings

The 2018 Nissan Maxima earned a five-star crash test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), making it one of the safest cars in its class.
The Maxima comes with many safety features, such as:
  • ·         Automatic Emergency Braking – Monitors your speed and the distance between you and the vehicle ahead and can automatically apply the brakes to help avoid a collision.
  • ·         Blind Spot Warning – The system alerts you if it detects a vehicle in your blind spot.
  • ·         Nissan Advanced Air Bag System – Includes front air bags with seat belt and occupant-classification sensors, front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags with rollover sensors.
  • ·         Rear Cross Traffic Alert – Warns you of vehicles approaching when you are backing out of a parking space or driveway.

Solid Reliability

The Maxima is considered a reliable vehicle, ranking No. 6 in the large car category by U.S. News and World Report. Every Nissan is backed by 36-month/36,000-mile limited vehicle coverage and a five-year/60,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, so you can feel confident knowing your Maxima will continue running like new for years to come.

Powerhouse Performance

The 2018 Maxima’s 300 horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine packs a lot of punch. By comparison, the 2018 Acura TLX only delivers 290 horsepower, and the 2018 BMW 3 Series only manages 180 horsepower. Combined with Nissan’s XTRONIC CVT® (Continuously Variable Transmission) technology, the Maxima offers smooth, fun-to-drive performance.

Despite its powerful engine, the Maxima stacks up well against the competition when it comes to fuel economy. The EPA rates it at 21/30 mpg city/highway, making it more efficient than the Chevrolet Impala and Kia Cadenza.

Luxurious Features in an Affordable Package

The Maxima is loaded with luxurious features at a more affordable price point than its competitors.
The available quilted seat inserts are crafted from premium leather or Italian-made Alcantara® – a material typically found in high-end performance vehicles. When paired with zero-gravity-inspired front seats designed to keep you in place and reduce fatigue, drivers can expect to experience unmatched interior comfort.

Other available upgrades include:
  • ·         Climate-controlled front seats
  • ·         NissanConnect® Services with SiriusXM® satellite radio, navigation and emergency response capabilities
  • ·         Racing-inspired steering wheel with heating capability
  • ·         Remote engine start system with intelligent climate control

Similar features come standard in the Maxima’s rival – the Infiniti Q50 – but at a higher cost. The 2018 Maxima starts at $33,270 and tops out under $41,000 for the Platinum trim. The base model Q50 starts at $35,500 and rises to a staggering $53,000 for the highest trim level. Drivers who want high-end features without paying luxury prices can find what they are looking for in the 2018 Maxima.

Today most car buyers take crumple zones, safety belts, airbags and anti-lock brakes for granted, but overall safety features of a car are still a priority for most people.

According to a Consumer Reports article, in a national survey of U.S. drivers that plan to buy a new or used vehicle in the next two years, 51% said it was very important for their next car to have a rearview camera or backup warning , and 45% said they wanted a blind-spot warning system .
