The 2020 Maxima sedan's aggressive styling features a voluminous front grille with a deep V-motion grille, standard jewel-like LED headlights and Nissan Signature Daytime Running Lights – contributing to the flagship sedan's premium, high performance appearance. Inside is a driver-oriented cockpit and comfortable seating for five occupants. The interior's "Gliding Wing" interior layout emphasizes the horizontal movement and easy access to all controls.

Available interior features include Rear Door Alert (RDA), SiriusXM Satellite Radio with Advanced Auto Features (SiriusXM subscription required, sold separately) and Nissan Door to Door Navigation system (standard on SV grade and above). Maxima Platinum models include standard NissanConnect with Navigation and Services featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
