2018 Nissan Maxima Configurations

Customers in St. Charles, St. Louis, O'Fallon, or St. Peters may have questions regarding Nissan trims or more specifically, Maxima trims. 2018 Nissan Maxima configurations encompass several cars, so it's important to narrow your choices down. Once you have, you can choose the set of features that's best for your driving needs. St. Charles Nissan is here to help with comparisons of Nissan Maxima configurations.

Maxima S

Let's begin with the S, the most basic of configurations. The Maxima S is basic only in name.  Boasting 300 horsepower and a 24-valve V6 engine, this car books in the heaviest of traffic, and even on rougher rural roads. The 18-inch machine-finish wheels provide extra grip and traction during inclement weather, and help you navigate through intense traffic safely. Automatic Emergency Braking and Intelligent Forward-Collision Warnings provide driver assistance, keeping you and other drivers and pedestrians safe.

Today's cars, even basic Maxima trims, are packed with technology, and the Maxima S is no exception. Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™ are available, making it easy to bring any device on a trip. The Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System ensures you will never miss a call, even where service is spotty, and that you can answer those calls without endangering yourself. The Display Commander and Rearview Monitor improves communication with the car as well.

Maxima SV and SL

The next two 2018 Nissan Maxima configurations in line provide the features of a basic S, plus a few more to enhance your Maxima experience. Both boast 8-inch touchscreens with multiple control options, so you can access almost anything with a simple swipe or click. As with the S, the SV and SL also use a Drive Mode Selector, which puts you in total control. Ease through your morning commute; the more familiar you are with the route, the more Drive Selector can help you cruise through the journey.

In terms of technology, the SV and SL offer the Nissan Navigation System, along with a front and rear sonar system. The sonar systems detect potential obstacles before seeing them. Combined with the Nissan Maxima's impressive response time, these systems help you avoid obstacles without feeling as though you've had near misses.

SR and SR Midnight Edition

The SR and SR Midnight Edition are luxury-level 2018 Nissan Maxima trims. Expect every feature you can get from an S, SR, or SL model, plus a few more customizable options. For example, both the SR and SR Midnight Edition boast LED ambient lighting, which you can turn up or down at your leisure. This can make for fun driving at night, or ensure your kids feel comfortable napping in the car on long trips.

Both editions boast significant safety feature upgrades, including Blind Spot Warnings and Rear Cross-Traffic Alerts, as well as standard features like Automatic Emergency Braking. Extra features like Noise Cancellation may not only help you listen to music in peace, but focus more intently on your driving.

Platinum Edition

We've saved the best for last, the Nissan Maxima Platinum Edition. Luxury is the name of the game with this vehicle, as almost every feature can be tailored to you. It uses the Memory System of the Midnight Edition, but upgrades it to include not only the driver's seat, but steering wheel and outside mirrors. We also love the heated steering wheel and climate-controlled front seats, which can be adjusted to fit any outdoor temperature. Premium Ascot leather-appointed seats with quilted inserts add a special touch of indulgence.
