As a luxury car from a non-luxury brand, the Nissan Maxima occupies an unusual position in the market. And that has been working in the buyer's favor. Nissan routinely offers exceptional rebates and incentives for the Maxima, placing its price within punching distance of people with Altima budgets.
We expect a new Maxima for the 2015 model year, which should make dealers even more open to discounts on outgoing 2014 Maximas.

The big front-wheel drive sedan delivers 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway—numbers that aren't bad for a five-passenger vehicle with a sporty attitude.The process of choosing your Maxima is relatively simple—there are two models:
The Maxima is ideal for buyers who want the luxury of an INFINITI with a less showy Nissan badge. Because of exceptional discounting, we see the best value in a well-equipped SV.
