2022 Nissan Maxima: Performance Features
Powered by the same powertrain, the 2022 Nissan Maxima comes with the 3.5-liter VQ-series V6 engine—also found in the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The V6 engine delivers 300 hp at 6,400 rpm and 261 lb.-ft. of torque, which results in a high output of 85.7 hp per liter. The power is transferred to the vehicle’s front wheels via an Xtronic transmission with a manual shift mode, sport tuning, and D-Step shifting logic. Its D-step shifting logic enables smoother acceleration while taking corner exits, while the Sport mode increases the throttle response of the engine and offers more aggressive shifting.

Its drive-focused suspension and chassis balance smoothly, giving optimum stability at higher speeds without affecting the comfort of the passengers. This is because of the multi-link rear suspension with monotube shocks paired with an independent front suspension with stabilizer bars.
Also, if you want to make this sport sedan even sportier, look out for the Maxima® SR trim, which includes a sport-tuned suspension with retuned dampers that gives a breathtaking performance. Moreover, it features unique 19-inch gloss-black aluminum-alloy wheels, a rear sport spoiler, column-mounted paddle shifters, premium leather-appointed seats, and many more. Additionally, the 2022 Nissan Maxima is offered with 18 gallons of fuel tank capacity. It comes with a fuel economy of 20 mpg in the city, 30 mpg on the highway, and 24 mpg combined.
