Style on the Inside
Between tech, entertainment, aesthetic, and comfort, the 2021 Nissan Maxima’s interior goes beyond expectations. Each trim comes with its own unique seating/interior color. The 2021 Maxima SV comes with Charcoal and Cashmere leather options, the 2021 SR Maxima comes with Charcoal Premium Ascot leather, the 2021 Platinum comes with Charcoal and Cashmere Premium Ascot leather, and the 40th Anniversary trim includes Red semi-aniline leather with leather inserts.

These seats are designed to promote good posture while reducing fatigue. Additionally, the 2021 Maxima comes with a driver’s footrest, manually adjustable front and rear head restraints, and front and center armrests with internal storage.
Tech and Infotainment
In addition to comfort and aesthetics, the Maxima offers a variety of tech and entertainment features. These include remote keyless entry, illuminated entry and ignition, a HomeLink garage door transmitter, and a manual tilt and telescoping steering wheel, to name just a few convenience features. The Maxima also has this cool feature called the valet handoff, which makes sure that valet drivers only have access to the Maxima’s Intelligent Key rather than its mechanical key.
In terms of entertainment, the Maxima comes with Bluetooth audio streaming, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM Radio, Advance Audio Features, a WiFi hotspot, aux and USB compatibility, and NissanConnect. The 2021 Nissan Maxima includes an 8-inch touchscreen display, steering wheel controls, and voice activation.

Safety
There’s plenty of safety features on the 2021 Nissan Maxima, including driver assist features and traditional safety assets as well. The 2021 Maxima comes with Nissan’s standard 360 Safety Shield. This suite includes six different technologies like automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, rear automatic braking, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, high beam assist, and blind spot warning. Let's break down what these standard safety features do.
Nissan's 360 Safety Shield
First, automatic braking with pedestrian warning uses sensors to detect pedestrians who may be outside the driver’s viewing field. It sends alerts to the driver, and when the driver does not heed these warnings, this technology applies automatic braking for the driver. Next, rear automatic braking does the same, but it monitors for other vehicles or objects that may be in the way when backing up. Rear cross traffic alert works in conjunction with the rear automatic braking system, but it monitors traffic that may come from the left or right, rather than just what's directly behind your vehicle.
Lane departure and blind spot warnings work to alert the driver of upcoming vehicles when on the road. They provide alerts and automatic steering to avoid dangerous lane switching. Finally, high beam assist lights will automatically dim when there’s an oncoming vehicle, removing the chance of blinding other drivers, which can cause distraction and limited vision.
Driving and Parking Aid Systems
Now let’s look at the 2021 Maxima’s parking technology. Thanks to the Intelligent Around View Monitor, drivers get front, rear, overhead, and curbside views, assuring that nothing stands the Maxima’s way. These cameras further help reduce potential collisions. In addition to this feature, the Maxima also comes with traffic sign recognition, acting as a second eye, always there to remind drivers of speed limit signs or other important traffic signs they might miss.
The 2021 Nissan Maxima’s tire pressure monitoring system is a prevention feature that notifies drivers when any potential or severe tire issues occur. This can prevent blowouts and flats, and serves as a reminder to air up the car’s tires. Lastly, the Intelligent Driver Alertness feature can monitor the driver’s steering patterns, noticing inconsistencies, and sending an alert suggesting that the driver should take a break.
The 2021 Maxima comes with side impact beams to deflect impact and absorb most of the blow, an airbag occupancy sensor with knee, side, curtain, and dual-stage airbags. This model also includes height-adjustable seatbelts, rear child safety locks, and electronic stability control to reduce traction loss. As a whole, the 2021 Nissan Maxima is a safety-packed sedan.
