Does the Nissan Maxima come with AWD?
This past year was a huge redesign year for the Nissan Maxima; in fact, we waited and watched for its debut during the Super Bowl until we finally caught a glimpse of its boomerang headlights and V-motion grille. Fully redesigned from top to bottom, the Nissan Maxima moves forward another year into its new generation.

Because the 2017 Nissan Maxima is still fairly new, we’ve received a number of questions about this full size luxury sedan. To help sort out any confusion, we plan to answer a few of the frequently asked questions below, such as “Does the Nissan Maxima come with AWD?” The Maxima is strictly available as a front wheel drive vehicle. All-wheel drive is not offered.
Any other questions that you might have, please do not hesitate to ask! The Glendale Nissan team would be more than happy to help find the right answers.
Does the Nissan Maxima take premium fuel?
Rather than digging your owner’s manual out from the glove box and then searching through a never ending index, we have the answer right here. According to the 2017 Maxima’s owner’s manual, unleaded premium gas is recommended. The octane rating should be a minimum of 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index.)
What would happen if you didn’t use premium fuel? Your engine isn’t going to explode, hold onto your horses. Speaking of horses though, if you choose to use regular fuel (which is typically 87 AKI) you might feel like the Maxima is lagging a bit and doesn’t have the same giddy-up as usual.
Does the Nissan Maxima have a manual transmission?
Across all six trim levels, the Nissan Maxima is strictly available with its 3.5L V6 engine which is paired to Nissan’s continuously variable transmission. (Select trim levels do come with steering wheel mounted paddle shifters.)
Does the Nissan Maxima have Bluetooth?
Yes! All Nissan Maxima trim levels come with Bluetooth audio technology. This allows you to place calls and answer them without losing your focus on the road. You’ll also be able to stream music through your phone rather than listening to the radio.
Does the Nissan Maxima have heated seats?
Yes it sure does! A heated steering wheel is available as well.
How much is the Nissan Maxima
This will depend on which trim level you choose–there are six in total. Your destination will also matter as well as the specials currently available at the dealership, but the MSRP for the base level 2017 Nissan Maxima is $32,560.
How fast is the Nissan Maxima?
The 2017 Nissan Maxima houses an immense 300 horses beneath its hood and therefore is able to rocket off 0-60 mph in just 6.1 seconds.
