2023 Nissan Maxima SR - POV Test Drive (Binaural Audio)

[@nidalonso8692]

Same comments about the CVT, I've had this Gen Maxima for almost 9 years and I LOVE IT.

[@bowie2004]

If you're gonna have fixed paddle shifters, why on gods green earth does it make sense to put a cvt in it? What is Nissan smokin?

[@bull5836]

It’s smoking that Renault puff

[@certifiedfrootloop]

Would’ve been nice if they would’ve put the 9 speed from the Frontier instead of the CVT

[@NissanAltimaGuy]

When it tries to hold one ratio it provides the full 300hp constantly and they’ll haul. Thank y’all for the pov 🫡

[@bensullivan5414]

My mom had a 2016 when it came out. The interior was ahead of its class at the time and the engine sounded great, but the horrible transmission (rebuilt 2x in the 3 year lease period!) and the front wheel drive torque steer over hinder the experience.

[@isamisam19]

Was the CVT trans oil changed regularly during that period?

[@DMCarReviews]

Amazing car! Great design and high quality interior. Had one back in college. I loved the CVT! Was very smooth and responsive, and was always in the powerband.

[@tonierbuckle0202]

Wish i could say the same about nissan cvts. While i never owned one, my stepmom had a 2016 sentra and the single time i drove it, it kept revving up to 4k rpm, then slowly went back down to 2k, then straight back up to 4k when all i was doing was coasting at 40 mph. About a month after that, the transmission died on her at a gas station and it wouldve been more to fix the transmission than the worth of the car

[@chitownbear7733]

Ahhh the inside of my batmobile on KZbin lol. The trans is questionable but it’s still my baby.

[@javy.airlines]

That’s A Very Nice Nissan Maxima👍👌🏁🚗💨!!!

[@officialcarguykh]

And CVT for V6???

[@83goobmoonlight]

The Nissan Maxima is expected to return as a EV for 2026 MY with a unique design, interior enhancements with some Luxurious feel. The Maxima may drop the CVT in favor of a 9 speed automatic transmission. It's expected to arrive at showrooms in Fall 2025 with a estimated pricing of $67,000 for base Engage and $95,000 for Platinum+

[@deetay450]

45k for a v6 is crazy !

[@mikedior3089]

45 for a v6 isn’t crazy, but 45 for a cvt in a “sports car” is

[@kheirfrancis22]

Imagine paying 20k more for a Turbocharged 4cyl?? I'd take the V6 any day

[@jermainebyers5027]

I paid 40k

[@cedricmiller4370]

Yea maxima is a good car but 40-45k is greed I remember in 1998 you could buy a brand new maxima from Nissan dealership for 25k that included sunroof and foglights at that

[@Evan2]

Really wish this platform lived to see the 9 speed.

[@anthonycarreviews1528]

I'm very pissed off at Nissan they discontinued the maxima I don't like cvt but I'm impressed by the style and interior it's a powerful V6 engine I wish they'd put the vr30 twin turbo V6 from the q50 and gave it a 9 speed I've looked up how it is to replace a cvt $4000 nope I'm good.

[@forester333]

I had a 2016. Had issues with knocking in the back which took Nissan 2 years to resolve (bad shock) and front control arms and bushings needed replacement 50k in. I do remember you have to change cvt oil religiously every 30k or else it slows down and higher rpm than usual.

[@marshall0745]

when was the last time you drove a nissan maxima ?

[@hollysaga]

My bf has it i was surprised for the high quality and well built

[@tylerwatt12]

What would win in 1/4 mile. This or an Elantra N?

[@DMCarReviews]

My best quarter mile on a stock 2017 Maxima was 13.8s on the street. It will be very close!

[@R19Robbin]

Huge paddle shifters 👌

[@smoua2012]

I have been looking at cars and just wanted to know if this car is reliable?

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

I really like this Maxima & can't wait to buy it.

[@daniel6villegas]

cvt is garbage

[@Planes_onlyplanes]

That CVT honestly wines doesn't it!!

[@garrett1144]

This exact car (color and model) is for sale near me for 27k with 20k miles CPO, thinking about picking it up. I'm not a fan of the CVT but I love the rest of it.

[@HB3ZZY]

Wow what an awesome engine RUINED by that stupid CVT 😒😷

[@0990ftn]

JATCO has fallen so far they had to license from ZF to make 9-Speed. JATCO used to be something you know…

[@serpentblaze6702]

Would definitely have a lot more buyers if they had an actual transmission instead of a nasty unreliable CVT. At least offer a manual transmission in the Maxima and Altima, Nissan... I miss the old Nissan back in the 90s when they made great cars with good transmissions.

[@zoomzoom3839]

It’s just blasphemous to pair a V6 with a CVT, and not just any V6, this is a VQ35, just an absolute peach of a motor ruined by that nasty CVT, this would be a great car if it had a 9 speed automatic.

[@riv.k1302]

2013’s are prolly the most seen year Nissan you see on the road today & guess what….. C V T ENGINES & 300’000 mile run……… guaranteed you just do general maintenance you know take care of the car

It was an awesome car, they discontinued it unfortunately!!

Nice car.

[@alekscieslak8453]

very nice👍😃

[@crescentlust6113]

i’m so used to having a car that shows the exact speed on the dash bc of my maxima and i don’t think i can ever go back

[@whatchis1120]

We had one of these back when they first came out it was not a good car even compared to the Altima we had, definitely wasn't worth the premium over it. My biggest complaint was the seats were very hard and still are in the newer ones that makes for painful road trips, the next was atrocious road noise for a flagship car mixed with the sunroof sounded like it open after 75 mph, and final it looks good but its cheap once you start poking around like the econo grade carpet good luck getting dirt out. I soon found out that's how all panoramic sunroofs were from Nissan, save your money on this thing it's not worth the price or the depreciation. Too bad they let Infiniti die those were real cars with amazing quality back then.

[@cedricmiller4370]

As a Nissan/Infiniti enthusiasts I understand your statement even tho the maxima is the top tier sedan for Nissan it almost feels as if the Altima is equally built to same standards to the maxima minus having the panoramic sunroof the fully loaded Altima can feel just as smooth as the maxima

[@WayApp]

Mind blowing

[@Sorrowpsalm]

Amazing that you get Lamborghini paddle shifters on a $45k car with a CVT.

[@mudendamweetwa9155]

Powerful engine

[@mr.everything4941]

Nissan went out with a 50/50 bang. Yes the final year Maxima is stylish and has the incredible VQ V6 but $45,000 with a CVT? Yuck! Had the car been cheaper and came with a traditional automatic or dare I say, even a manual transmission, it would have been a proper send off.

[@JeanClaud3]

I get that the CVT was used for fuel economy but they ruined the powertrain

[@mikedior3089]

ruined the entire car

Beautiful car,lovely engine but a crappy transmission. It’s a shame Nissan ruined the Maxima with that horrid CVT.
