Every car Nissan redesigns lately turns to sales gold, and the 2016 Maxima is likely to be another solid success for both the company and midsize sedan shoppers alike. Nissan seriously reworked the Maxima's V6 engine and CVT transmission and made navigation a standard feature. It also added a cockpit controller to the touch screen, and much of the tech you want can be found on most trim levels. The 2016 Nissan Maxima Platinum has the technology, the fit and finish, and the comfort to compete with other top cars in the segment, like the Chrysler 300 and the Chevrolet Impala, earning it our Editors' Choice award.
Tech by Trim
Even the least expensive Maxima trim line, the Maxima S, starts at $32,410 and includes navigation, remote start, a rear camera, twin LCDs, and a control wheel. Rather than choose options, you pick which of the five trim lines has the tech and convenience features you want. The only other choice is paint color. For people who believe a life well-lived means less time spent in a showroom with a salesperson and assistant sales manager, this is nirvana.
