This beast is able to offer an incredible 300 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque. However, the Maxima’s Drive Mode Selector is a game changer. This selector is able to offer both a Normal Mode and a Sport Mode.

When in Normal Mode, the Maxima will of course drive then drive normally. This mode offers the standard driving experience designed by Nissan and is the default driving option for those behind the wheel not looking for any specific performance outside of what the sedan usually offers.
