Why it stands out

The 2021 Nissan Maxima marks 40 years on sale, and that long run gives it a distinctive place among Japanese nameplates. It is the current eighth-generation Maxima, which debuted for the 2016 model year, and for 2021 it carries over with few changes. The most notable update is a 40th Anniversary Edition option package for the top Platinum trim level. That combination of longevity, restrained updates, and a premium-leaning position helps define the car’s appeal.

What stands out most about the 2021 Nissan Maxima is its blend of style and substance. The test-drive data points to stylish design, a powerful engine, and premium interior materials, while owners commonly praise its comfort, design, features, smooth ride, and luxurious interior. At the same time, it is not without compromises: all-wheel drive is not available, fuel economy is poor, and the back seat is cramped. For buyers who want a full-size sedan with a more relaxed character and a polished cabin, those strengths may outweigh the limitations.
