If you are in the market for a mid-size sedan that is loaded with luxury options, consider the 2014 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SV. With a trunk capacity of 14.2 cubic feet, this five-seater has plenty of space for groceries or luggage. As a family-friendly model, it will not break your bank either.
Under the hood rests a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 290 horsepower and 261 pound-feet of torque. Equipped with front-wheel drive and a continuously variable transmission (CVT), it has a fuel economy set at 22 mpg combined (19 city/26 highway). According to Edmunds, the 2014 Maxima also earned a solid 5-star rating for side-impact protection in government-conducted crash tests.
The SV trim level includes 18-inch alloy wheels, xenon headlights, and foglamps for a stylish exterior look. The cabin boasts subtle leather upholstery and a driver’s seat that offers thigh and lumbar support. This helps ease back pain issues that accompany long rides. The audio interface and rearview camera feed are both displayed on a 7-in touchscreen. You can operate your music settings with a simple swipe of your finger.
