2027 Nissan Maxima : Engine

The heart of the Nissan Maxima is the legendary 3.5-liter naturally aspirated VQ35DE V6 engine, producing a powerful 300 horsepower and 261 pound-feet of torque. This power unit features performance-oriented engineering characteristics borrowed from the high-performance Nissan GT-R, including anodized pistons and sodium-filled exhaust valves for better heat management and optimized high-rev durability. It uses a Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS) to provide instant throttle response throughout the rev range and comes with a distinctive, booming exhaust sound that intensifies when in Sport mode.

This powerful V6 transmits power only to the front wheels via Nissan’s Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT). To ensure driver satisfaction and eliminate the typical “rubber band” feel of older CVTs, Nissan programmed this transmission with “D-Step” shifting logic that reproduces engine revs during hard acceleration and simulates different gear steps. Despite its large 3,500cc displacement, this transmission combination delivers a solid balance between sports sedan performance and highway efficiency, offering fuel economy of 20 mpg in the city, 30 mpg on the highway, and 24 mpg in mixed use.
