Official U.S. Pricing 2018 Nissan Maxima

When it comes to full-size sedans, it’s hard to compete with the 2018 Nissan Maxima. The model is not only modern in design, but offers a variety of contemporary features that shoppers specifically look for in a new vehicle. The question is, can the official U.S. pricing remain low enough to keep the car enticing? We think you’ll find the starting MSRP of $33,020 for the Maxima S trim is competitive, and worth every penny. The model is available in five trim levels: S, SV, SL, SR and and Platinum. Here’s what you need to know for the newest model year.

Infotainment comes standard in the 2018 Nissan Maxima

Most of us don’t remember a time when there wasn’t some form of radio in a car, and with the average American driving 24 miles to and from work each day, it’s needed. Today, we expect even more functionality from our system, which is why so many shoppers look for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. These platforms allow you to connect your smartphone right to the system and provide an interface that is similar to what you already see on your phone, but paired down to only the features you need to use while you drive. Things such as your favorite podcast and radio apps, navigation and phone features. Used together with voice recognition software, it’s more intuitive to use than many of the platforms designed by automakers simply because they are all proprietary.
