Nissan Maxima Engines and Transmissions

Each Nissan Maxima engine here is petrol and drives the front wheels. Smaller units such as the 2.0 MT suit town use and lighter running costs, the 2.5 AT adds relaxed automatic cruising, while the 3.0 MT powertrain gives stronger overtaking pull through its manual transmission.

Nissan Maxima Trims and Equipment

Nissan Maxima trim levels sit on top of a technical version rather than replacing it: the 2.0 AT sedan, for example, appears in SE form. Equipment differences usually cover comfort, interior materials and convenience features, so check the individual car's specification before buying.
