The 2020 Nissan Maxima is sporty and spacious

You might be surprised by how this large sedan carries itself.

Craig Cole
Craig brought 15 years of automotive journalism experience to the Cars team. A lifelong resident of Michigan, he's as happy with a wrench or welding gun in hand as he is in front of the camera or behind a keyboard. When not hosting videos or cranking out features and reviews, he's probably out in the garage working on one of his project cars. He's fully restored a 1936 Ford V8 sedan and then turned to resurrecting another flathead-powered relic, a '51 Ford Crestliner. Craig has been a proud member of the Automotive Press Association (APA) and the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA).

This car's interior is getting old, but it's still a pleasant place.

The Maxima is not an unattractive vehicle.

A 3.5-liter V6 with 300 horsepower is what powers the Maxima.

Even with a CVT routing torque to the front wheels, this car offers plenty of performance.

That V6 engine is smooth and unexpectedly potent.

Like the rest of its interior, the Maxima's infotainment system is getting old, but it's still functional and friendly.
