2016 Nissan Maxima Performance and Engine

Power and Powertrain

Under the hood, this Maxima SR is powered by Nissan's proven 3.5L V6 DOHC 24-valve engine — the same unit that has made the Maxima a flagship for decades. This engine produces 300 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque, figures that put many sports cars to shame. Paired with Nissan's Xtronic CVT transmission and front-wheel drive, power delivery is smooth and linear. The CVT is tuned specifically for the Maxima to provide a more engaging, sport-like response compared to standard CVT setups, including simulated paddle-shift behavior for when you want to feel more connected to the drive. In real-world Hayward and Bay Area traffic, the V6's broad torque curve makes merging onto I-880 or climbing the hills toward Castro Valley feel effortless.

Nissan Maxima SR Features and Interior

What the SR Trim Brings to the Table

The SR trim is built for drivers who want a sportier edge without sacrificing everyday comfort. Inside, expect sport-bolstered seats, a D-shaped sport steering wheel, and aluminum sport pedals that reinforce the driver-focused cockpit feel Nissan designed into this generation. The Maxima SR also features a 8-inch touchscreen with NissanConnect, Apple CarPlay-compatible Bluetooth connectivity, a Bose premium audio system, dual-zone automatic climate control, and push-button start with proximity key entry. Sport-tuned suspension, exclusive SR badging, and larger alloy wheels round out the package and give this Maxima a presence on the road that punches well above its used-car price point.

Nissan Maxima Reliability and Ownership

What Owners and Experts Say

The 2016 Nissan Maxima has earned a strong reputation for long-term durability, particularly its VQ35DE V6 engine — one of the most celebrated engines in Nissan's history and a perennial fixture on Ward's 10 Best Engines lists. Owners consistently report smooth, trouble-free high-mileage ownership when basic maintenance like oil changes and spark plugs are kept up. J.D. Power gave the 2016 Maxima above-average dependability scores, and it remains a popular choice in the used market precisely because buyers trust it to go the distance. At 80,000 miles, this Maxima is well past its break-in period and entering what many consider the most reliable phase of ownership — major initial wear has settled, and with proper care, there are plenty of miles left ahead.
