2019 Nissan Maxima Platinum Reserve|In Depth Review|Test Drive

[@wavymats6128]

Guys, as a owner of 3 different maxima gens with the CVT, drove all of them hard, even took them to track, all cars combined total of almost 300k miles, none of them had any transmission issues whatsoever. Bought all of them as brand new. Still performs like new. Just take good care of these things, and it’ll treat you well

[@Therealpeter10]

How many miles you Put on each???

[@Laptops1781]

Just leased a maxima sv. Yes it has a cvt, but they are tuned differently than other nissan models. It's still a cvt, but not nearly as bad as what my wife's rogue is. Maximas are fantastic for people who want a more exciting drive, but don't need something absolutely ridiculous. I did ALOT of test drives before I decided to go with the maxima. Imo the maxima was kind of the best of all worlds. Super comfortable, good power, great gas mileage for a v6, and I personally love the styling. Yes it has its flaws, but of all the cars I test drove and researched, the maxima just was the best of all of them

[@NeighborhoodCarReviews]

I have to agree. For the money, you get quite a bit of car, if you ask me. I love the "Gliding Wing" interior design as well. Overall, just a nice, comfortable and sporty car, which is really hard to find these days.

[@angeleyessopretty]

Dont mind me asking, which other cars did you test drive?

[@Laptops1781]

@@angeleyessopretty looked at a few Toyota models, had no interest. They have no android auto and I've had 3 Toyotas already. Looked at a Mazda 3 and Mazda 3 hatchback. Looked at a Hyundai sonata and Tucson and then looked at the new altimas, which eventually lead me to the maxima.

[@cedricmiller2167]

@@Laptops1781 did you test drive the Altima platinum turbo model before deciding on the Maxima overall?

[@Laptops1781]

@@cedricmiller2167 I didn't. They actually wernt available when I got the maxima. I did test drive the regular altima though. Also, I was able to talk down the proce on the maxima quite a bit. Highly doubt I Coulda done that with a new altima turbo, being its first year and all

[@cordinate81]

guys, whatever im posting here abt CVT is just my personal experience and taste abt this car, no need to bashing each other, I respect all your opinions out there, I had this car so I know abt CVT and how it drives, the engine is amazing and is capable to do a lot more if it have regular gear box, take care all!

[@PLATINUM2U]

After I drove my mother's Maxima 700 miles I was able to get 38 mpg on the highway. Very impressed how well these maximas sip gas on the highway for it's size

[@rw1494]

Wow you must drive 16 mph lol! How do you get such high mpg?

[@mitchlu]

@@rw1494 I have a '16 MAX, my best was 36.9 mpg @60mph over an approx 80mi run.

[@sammyorta]

That sounds like ur numbers are off i know with my 2017 altima sr 4 cylinder i get close to 37 miles per gallon but in the maxima 6 cylinder it is less on highway miles

[@teebed-stuy3819]

Lots of comments about the CVT but every person I know with one hasn't had any problems with it. One of my partners has a 2016 and he just got to 100k miles. Never had a problem. Like he always says, don't drive it like a race car, don't dog it out and you will be fine. He just did his flush and fill. According to him it's good for another 100k.

[@mylifechanger2875]

He sounds like a flight attendant 👨‍✈️ I felt like I was gonna go somewhere special Best review on this vehicle to date so far I found👏

[@davidnewcomb8874]

If anyone has done any research on the maxima cvt they wld know that on the maxima it's been dialed in perfectly. Per consumer reports. I've personally owned 2011 luved it currently own 2019 absolutely luv it. Remember people this is no mustang Camaro porsche or Ferrari. It's a beautiful comfortable reliable gentleman car. Not a weekend racer.

[@cerebralmindgame9818]

How'd they add all-wheel-drive and ProPilot assist to the new Altima but not include it in this "premium" Maxima ??

[@NeighborhoodCarReviews]

Good question! The Maxima is due for a total redesign soon. I’m sure when that happens, they’ll probably address that.

[@Fat_Vegan]

Marketing scheme. It’ll probably be offered in a year or 2

[@dedreandixon4620]

It's on an older platform than new Altima and doesn't support some of the tech needed for ProPilot. AWD... this platform is definitely capable of AWD but maybe its not cost efficient to add it until its redesigned.

[@cerebralmindgame9818]

@@dedreandixon4620 Even if it's an older platform of the Maxima, they could've made the last couple of years of this rendition a tweener upgraded model before the complete makeover. I've seen car companies pull this feat off before they made the new model years prior. I do agree that the strategy was primarily to be cost effective banking on the bold styling of the vehicle and preying on the naive shopper who might be unaware of the latest tech available. I disagree that they couldn'tve added the new features because the genius and ingenuity of these car makers is highly unfathomable.

[@crazyone1067]

Because Nissan is going to axe the Maxima.

[@D3MJON3S3Z]

I wonder if the tail lights are interchangeable with the 16-18 models and the 19-20 models

[@NeighborhoodCarReviews]

They might be. I’m not 100% sure.

[@paulreid7902]

Big Maxima fan, but they should get rid of the CVT, make it a RWD and pump up the liter to 3.7 like their cousins Infiniti 😀

[@amberallry9663]

Is that just the camera making the LEDs flicker? Or were they installed? Thanks:)

[@NeighborhoodCarReviews]

+Amber Allry Yes. It’s just the camera refresh. They don’t do that visually.

[@cordinate81]

this car deserves a dual clutch transmission or at least 7,8 speed automatic transmission to be sporty not this crap CVT!

Fully loaded maxima or mid option lexus is300 awd?

[@Tully3674]

Really like the styling inside and out. But that CVT (and to a much lesser extent, the nav system), makes this car a no buy.

[@bacardim390]

Nissan has two issues. Their dedication to CVT and their Infotainment is ancient even on Infiniti products. They need a Mercedes style infotainment on all of their products. Make use of their Merc partnership.

[@EOtekk]

Infiniti infotainment is old, but the Nissan software is fine. It's not as bad as Mazda.

[@subkarpaty]

gregorius car!

[@chigasaki06]

The gas mileage avg is incredible for a 300 hp vehicle. However, don't like CVT's.

[@cordinate81]

u don't understand, I had this car for over a year and I know the gas consumption, in city I got only 16 mpg max normal driving nothing hard on accelerator in winter I got 11.5mpg bcs the CVT holds the rpms for too long due to cold and no gear shift so the fuel consumption is very high, only on highway I got 34.7 that's only bcs the engine works in constant speed which is obvious in any car, in highway drive u will get high mileage in any car regardless of the drive train!

[@ninagall7500]

Good review, just one handed driving while holding the camera in a dealers car sounds like a bad idea.

[@sammyorta]

Why do all nissans have that whistling sound this includes altimas i liftted hood do not know where it comes from

[@NeighborhoodCarReviews]

I’m not quite sure I know what you are referring to. I’ve never noticed that whistling sound you mentioned. I’ll look for it the next time I review one. Hoping to review a 2020 Sentra soon.

[@sammyorta]

It is like a buzzing noise i noticed it also on a nissan rental i had it was a sentra check it out i tried to figure it out powet steering , engine they all do that noise my altima and maxima same noise I recorded it.

[@eleanormassaro5195]

Very nice looking car!

[@GRJCLyon]

I love the look of these cars. All except the wheels. Smoked wheels look like aluminum ones caked with brake dust. Also, there is barely any variety on wheel choices. Where are the chrome wheels. You could easily lose your car in a parking lot because they are all carbon copies especially with the wheels. The CVT complaints are horrifying too. I knew they were bad but I didn’t know it was that bad. I wonder if anyone actually got a good one.

I have a Nissan with a CVT and it’s the most bizarre driving car ever. One day it’s silk smooth and the next it’s jerky AF like my cousins old 99 civic with a slipping tranny. The CVT is nice when cruising or going from cruising to passing on the highway but full pedal forget about it.

[@jalikhand5157]

Is it me or does it loook small

[@NeighborhoodCarReviews]

I think the black paint makes it look small. They’re not, though. They’re 192.8” long, overall. Wheelbase is 109.3”. Interestingly, the 2021 Altima is longer in both dimensions than the Maxima, which is interesting...🤔

CVT transmission kills it . When they gonna stop using that same v6

[@NeighborhoodCarReviews]

Well, there’s nothing wrong with that V6, but I agree that the CVT needs to go. I know they’re efficient, but they aren’t conducive to a performance sedan for sure. A 7 or 8-speed automatic would be good.

[@spectrexr1]

@@NeighborhoodCarReviews its the same engine they been using for years figure they would get a better one. They have the 2019 Maxima Sr .. 40 thousand. Suppose to be sports sedan. Same engine and still CVT transmission lol that weak. They got to do better
