Nissan Maxima Interior

When you head out for a drive in a midsize sedan, you want a car that focuses on appearance, comfort, and convenience. The 2021 Nissan Maxima brings all of those elements together and is a great choice for traveling around Indianapolis, Lawrence, and Speedway, Indiana.

When thinking about a car to buy, it's natural to want to know what it's like to actually get behind the wheel. Andy Mohr Nissan takes you inside the cabin with this in-depth look at the 2021 Nissan Maxima interior.

Ride Around in Style

The interior of the 2021 Nissan Maxima is designed to bring a sense of refinement to the midsize sedan.

Right away, you'll notice the attention to detail with the design of your controls. A leather-wrapped steering wheel and leather-wrapped shift knob come standard to give your driving experience an old-fashioned touch of class. There’s even an available heated steering wheel to keep your fingers warm during those chilly Indiana winters.

You'll also have a choice between cloth or premium leather seats to give your cabin either the feeling of a sports car or a classic luxury ride. For an extra pop of color, you’ll have access to dramatic contrast stitching on the dashboard, doors, and console.

Interior Options

There are six available interior colors across the four trim levels. The SV trim can be kitted out in charcoal or cashmere leather. The next level up, the SR trim has charcoal premium ascot leather with Alcantara® inserts. The Platinum trim level has premium charcoal and cashmere premium leather for a more luxurious touch.

But the apex of interiors belongs to the highest trim level, the 40th Anniversary Edition. This interior has eye-catching red Semi-Aniline leather-appointed seats with quilted-diamond inserts. The gauges have Heritage white faces which contrasts perfectly with the Satin Dark Chrome faceted interior. This is the trim level for those who want a sleek and modern look with sumptuous comfort.

Room to Stretch Out

There's plenty of space inside the cabin of the 2021 Nissan Maxima with seating for up to five people. The driver and front passenger have 45 inches of front legroom and 39.4 inches of front headroom. Passengers in the back seat have 34.2 inches of rear legroom and 36.7 inches of rear headroom.

Even at full capacity, you and your passengers won’t feel cramped inside the Nissan Maxima. There's 56.7 inches of shoulder room in the front seats and 55.7 inches of shoulder room for passengers in the back seats.

The back seats can also help you accommodate cargo for plenty of room to stow away luggage on vacation with up to 14.3 cubic feet of trunk volume. The standard 60/40 split fold-down rear seatbacks let you conveniently access the trunk through the back seats.

The front seats have plenty of features as well. The driver and front passenger can easily adjust their seats with the standard 8-way power driver's seat and 4-way power front passenger's seat.

Stay Comfortable Even on the Longest Drives

One of the best things about having a roomy sedan like a Nissan Maxima is the comfort features that it has to offer. This technology helps to make your vehicle feel much more welcoming on long drives, so your commute feels as relaxing as possible.

Standard with this sedan is a Dual-Zone Automatic Temperature Control system, which manages your cabin’s temperature automatically. Similar to your air conditioning system at home, this climate control feature will manage fan speeds and air temperature to provide you with your requested cabin temperature.

The Maxima even comes standard with an Intelligent Climate Control, which will monitor the weather outside and adjust the interior temperature accordingly. In either warm summer or chilly winter, when you slide into the driver’s seat it will be just right.

Expertly Engineered Seating

When it comes to staying alert and avoiding fatigue on long trips, we were inspired by the stars. One of the longest trips made by people was into space, so astronauts needed to be comfortable for the long haul. Our Zero Gravity Seats with 3D boosters are designed for a natural, neutral seating position, to help reduce tiredness on longer drives.

You’ve finally found the perfect seating position, but you’re sharing the car with your partner, and they always readjust everything. Well, the Nissan Maxima has a solution for you. With two memory settings available, you and your partner can each set the driver’s seat to how you like, and the car will remember for next time.

No matter if the summer sun is beating down or the winter wind is whipping up the seating in this sedan has got you. The front seats have available heating and ventilation, so you won’t have to worry about that first hot sting of sitting on a too-hot driver’s seat.

If you’re in charge of the morning carpool on those brisk winter mornings, you’ll quickly become the favorite with the available heated rear seats. While you and your coworkers may not always be excited to head into the office, at least you’ll be warm and toasty on the way over—they may even thank you by spotting your morning coffee.

Keeping You Entertained for Miles and Miles

The infotainment system in the 2021 Nissan Maxima is full of entertainment options and driver-assistance technology. By using this central touchscreen, you’ll be totally equipped to stream music and podcasts with ease.

It all starts with the NissanConnect® 8-inch touch-screen display. Here, you'll find everything from music options, such as Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ as well as SiriusXM® Satellite Radio and an available navigation system. It even has the ability to sync to your Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant-capable devices.

This NissanConnect® system also turns your car into 4G Wi-Fi hotspot with connectivity for seven devices. Perfect for staying connected to home on long business trips or posting all your vacation selfies on social media.

Nissan Voice Recognition lets you control all of this as well as make hands-free phone calls with Bluetooth®. By using the standard Bluetooth® functionality of this vehicle, you’ll be able to wirelessly listen to music from your phone.

While this monitor offers entertainment and navigation, a second screen keeps you alert. The Advanced Drive-Assist® Display is a 7-inch color monitor located next to your speedometer. Here, you'll receive alerts from Nissan Intelligent MobilityTM, a driver-assistance system that includes:

• Intelligent Forward Collision Warning
• Blind Spot Warning
• Intelligent Around View Monitor

Available Premium Audio Features

To add to the comfort of your cabin, this vehicle additionally offers an available 11-speaker Bose® Premium Audio System. When you’re equipped with a high-quality sound system, you’ll be able to enjoy every note of your favorite music.

The quality of your audio will be further enhanced by the available Active Noise Cancellation feature. You’ll enjoy a quiet and comfortable ride that feels isolated from the sounds of the road. Plus, you’ll be able to truly immerse yourself in the sounds produced by your high-quality audio.

Watching Out for You on the Road

Staying safe while on the road is of utmost importance, which is why the interior of the Nissan Maxima is set up to provide you with full peace of mind.

Standard with all trims of this sedan is an Intelligent Driver Alertness system. If your vehicle finds that your driving style is erratic or otherwise in line with a fatigued driver, your car will urge you to take a break. This is a great feature for helping people stay safe while heading out on road trips.

In addition, there is also an available Traffic Sign Recognition feature. Your vehicle will use cameras to read speed limit signs and will then keep a speed sign reminder on your Advanced Drive-Assist® Display. This is a fantastic way to stay informed on traffic laws while on roads you may not know too well.

Comprehensive Driver’s Assistance Features

What would any fully equipped sedan designed for comfort be without comprehensive driver-assistance features? This technology is designed to help make driving feel easier and more comfortable, so you can enjoy this car’s smooth ride to the fullest.

It all starts with an Intelligent Cruise Control system, which makes keeping up with traffic on the highway an absolute breeze. Simply turn this feature on, and your car will automatically maintain a set distance with the car ahead of you. In order to maintain that distance, your car is able to slow down and speed up automatically.

If you really want to enjoy the most advanced driving experience this sedan has available, you’ll want to upgrade your car with the available Intelligent Around View® Monitor. When using this technology, your car will display multiple camera viewpoints to generate a top-down view of your car’s surroundings.
