The Maxima again offers a standard SkyView™ glass-paneled roof, which creates an open environment for front and rear passengers while maintaining a solid roof structure. The SkyView is a single elongated rectangular-shaped glass panel that stretches from the front of the roof to the back and comes with sliding sunshades to block out sunlight when desired. A traditional power sliding glass moonroof is optional and replaces the SkyView.

The heart of the Maxima is its powerful, award-winning 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 engine, rated at 255 horsepower. All Maximas come equipped with a standard Xtronic CVT™ with manual mode, tuned specifically for Maxima's sporty driving character. The Xtronic CVT is designed to create a true synergy between engine and transmission with smooth, responsive, efficient operation. The Maxima also features a standard Traction Control System (TCS) and optional Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC).
