Used 2020 Nissan Maxima Sedan Trims Comparison

All models come with a 3.5-liter V6 engine (300 horsepower, 261 lb-ft of torque) that drives the front wheels through a CVT automatic.

The S has a robust list of standard features, including adjustable driving modes, power-adjustable front seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Infotainment tech includes an 8-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an eight-speaker audio system with satellite radio.

Standard safety systems include a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot and rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, automatic high beams and automatic rear braking.

The Maxima SV adds a few more comforts, such as heated front seats, leather upholstery, navigation and adaptive cruise control, while the SL goes further with a panoramic sunroof, upgraded Bose sound system and active cabin noise-canceling, among other items.

The SR is considered the lineup's sport model, and with that comes a sport-tuned suspension and paddle shifters, along with luxury features such as ventilated front seats, a surround-view parking camera, simulated-suede seat inserts and lane keeping assist.

The top-trim Platinum skips the SR's performance add-ons, but it keeps the ventilated front seats and adds a few other luxury touches, including memory settings for driver preferences and upgraded leather upholstery and interior trim.
