2023 Nissan Maxima SR: The New Maxima Is Here!

Nissan KILLED the Maxima when they put in the CVT. Otherwise, it is (was) a good car & competitive among its peers. But that CVT was a slow poison with sales continuously decreasing (w/ 2023 being its last year).

[@AbdulazizAli-hs7gb]

Cvt is overhated in my opinion if u take care of it theres no problem with it. My self i have a 22 maxima its still low mileage but its been perfect with me and im having so much fun with it.

[@tristana2955]

@@AbdulazizAli-hs7gb it’s definitely over hated. I had a 2010 Altima with almost 70k miles with no issues with the cvt transmission “this had the most miles with my experience with a cvt.” Since I’ve had a 2015 Altima, 2013,2017 and 2020 maxima’s all without a problem.

[@t20sgrunt36]

It 100% helped killed it along with the fugly 6 gen, the Ghosn cost cuts/renault debacle, and the SUV craze. Go from the fun and sporty 5.5 gen with a 6speed to the floaty, ho-hum 6 gen, and then the CVT was such an overall brand killer for the Maxima, Altima, and more.

[@chargerman165]

Long story short…went to trade a 2020 Silverado RST that I bought new November 2020. Had 5.3 and after many serious engine problems at 19,000 miles in September 2013 went to trade it for a new Titan Midnight addition. Since moved to new house didn’t really need a truck drove off with a new 2023 Maxima like the one you reviews. They only had two left and all black and the white. Almost went with all black but got the white. I am 72 wife is 49. I am in good health, good shape and still work everyday. Told my wife this is my midlife crisis vehicle. We have a 17 soon to be 18 year old daughter and back in April we bought her a new Altima SR and it is a very nice car for the price so went back to Nissan. Don’t mind the CVT and absolutely love the vehicle and it loads of fun. Don’t drive it every day because have a work car and every time I get to can’t wait to drive the Maxima. Ben thanks a lot for this video and all your videos. I am a fan.

[@jamesd7154]

I have the burnt orange 2020 Maxima SR and love it but in my opinion. What killed the Max was introducing the Altima as its little twin. Nissan should have like others said skipped the CVT transmission and added 50 more horses to the SR model and 20 more horses to the remaining models. Then add some additional funky color schemes like a bright green to the SR lineup. Overall though it's a great car and despite the CVT it can get down the road. I will have mine for a long time. Great review!!

The CVT transmission literally kept me from every buying one, and I still won’t ever Nissan products are dead to me. After a four-year-old transmission graduated replaced granted again replaced burned up. I’ll never touch another.

[@robertelder5770]

I want this bad. I buy nothing but Nissan! The CVT is very good/strong transmission. The reason why many have had issues with the CVT on Nissan is because they DO NOT get transmission flushed every 30,000 miles. They believe the fluid it comes with good for the life of the car. NO people you must get your transmission fluid changed every 30,000 miles. Why? Because the fluid will become burned, thick which will cause transmission slippage leading to transmission failure. I put over 200,000 miles on a Nissan Sentra and it was still running great when I traded it for a new one! Nissan, I believe makes the best cars hands down!

[@gleanerman2195]

Yes they are.

[@jaimerodriguez5889]

Not only is the cvt a bad idea the oversized rims with the small amount of rubber between the rims and road ar just looking for blowouts if you hit a potholes not to mention more rubber gives a better ride

[@johng81818]

It honestly just looks like a bigger Sentra or Altima now? I really hate what car manufacturers have started doing with their vehicle line ups. Even Mercedes has the same problem. The C class, E class, and S class all look identical but just ones smaller and ones bigger. They no longer have that characteristic look that separated one from the other. It’s like going to McDonalds now and ordering a combo. Would you like it small, medium, or large?

[@kevinandrews2584]

I love my maxima. The xtronic cvt works good and solid when you take the Pan out and check the magnets in the cvt pan. Clean the metal sludge and change the outer cooler filter regularly like when you change the oil in your car. They last a long time doing this. Don't ever do a shop cvt flush, Flush won't help as strong. Why did they make it like this? No idea.

[@fzr1000981]

Every cvt trans should run a magnefine filter

[@kevinandrews2584]

@fzr1000 yes that would be awesome!

[@fzr1000981]

@Kevin Andrews 2 not sure you can install one one the Maxima, I have one installed in line on my Accord and change it every 25k. Keeps clutch material and particulate from accumulating. These transmissions last a long time if you take care of them

[@kevinandrews2584]

@fzr1000 Honda Accords last a long time from my experience of seeing freinds with theirs in the past. I knew people that didn't take care of them and raced all over the place beating them up and they still be on the road today. Toyota is a very good brand. Maybe I can build something that attaches to my cooler outer filter with a magnet that I can take apart from time to time to see what we got haha.

[@tommurphy4307]

theres no need to clean the magnets- they actually become more effective with the accumulated metal on them. its not called for in the service manual, either.

I have the SR Limited Edition with a Supercharger and Manual Transmission! Lol Wouldn't that be nice, if it were true! That being said, for the money, not many other cars out there that have the "coolness" factor like the Maxima (in this price range). It's very comfortable, yet handles well and has more than enough power for me. Driving in Sport Mode makes a huge difference and sounds great. Mine is gun metal grey with black wheels and smoked windows. Had it for close to a year and... rarely goes a day without getting a compliment. Now that they are doing away with the Maxima, they just lost two customers. My wife has the same one, different color.

Backup camera resolution is horrible. It’s the same as when I owned a 2018 QX50! Frequently Asked Questions By Stephanie Stephan | Apr 4, 2022 Has Nissan Fixed Their Transmission Problems? In 2019-2022 Nissan models, third-generation Xtronic CVT transmissions address overheating, failure, and limp mode issues by increasing the distance between the transmission oil and the pulley system. However, TSBs for “juddering” and drive shaft seal leaks still exist, and the CVT has been discontinued in the 2022 Pathfinder and replaced by a nine-speed automatic.

If you don't like Nissan no one is holding a gun to your head. Buy what you like or what you can afford. The reason you had problems with yours started with YOU. NISSAN makes the fastest , more powerful Japanese car you can buy. That new supra is ALL BMW , compared to the new Z. Germany cars are better. The new TRD camry has cvt , Honda accord cvt. TOYOTA , HONDA , NISSAN top 3 in Japan . GM , FORD , DODGE top 3 in U.S.A MERCEDES , BMW , AUDI top 3 Germany All cars break down from wear & tear just like our bodies. Buy what you like you paying for it . Name one car that has no issues , I dare you. I've own Japanese name brand cars for more than 20 years . Humans build cars , humans are NOT perfect so why should what we build be perfect . Cars are made to break , just as we are born to die . ENJOY THE RIDE

The infotainment centre in the Camry looks awkward as if they just stuck on a tablet on to it. The Maxima is in a different league from the boring hideous looking Camry. Secondly, the CVTs in Maxima are way more premium than what you will find in a Sentra. I'm apart of the Nissan Maxima group on Facebook with over 8K members and not one has had a CVT failure.
