2017 Nissan Maxima trim options and features
It may seem like auto journalists can be a bit out of touch with real life shoppers. After all, buying a new vehicle isn’t an inexpensive decision, and many people are just thrilled to reach a place where they can buy or finance a new vehicle, rather than browsing through the right deals in pre-owned inventory. It’s not that there aren’t spectacular used options, but it only makes sense to want a model that comes with the reassurance of not having any problems that result from poor maintenance practices, driving styles or any other issues. Plus, a shiny new car warranty just to cover all the bases.
Once you realize the car you want, the next step is to pick from a variety of options you might not have known existed after years of choosing based solely on what has been available in your price range. Today, we’re talking about the 2017 Nissan Maxima and its various trim options and available features, to help you sort out just what you want.
What are the 2017 Nissan Maxima trims?
When you buy a new car, the decision doesn’t just come down to a model or even particular packages to add on, but also a variety of trim levels, also called grades. Each vehicle starts with a base trim, followed by higher options that add on additional features, style options and even sometimes different engines. So what do things look like for the 2017 Nissan Maxima?
