2026 Nissan Maxima: Release Date, Price and Trims

The 2026 Nissan Maxima emerges as a sports sedan, establishing its unique position in the market. While sharing similar dimensions with the midsize Nissan Altima in terms of length and width, it distinguishes itself with a V6 powertrain, an upscale interior, and a corresponding higher price tag.

Nissan Motor by dubbed a four-door sports car, Maxima has held onto this designation for decades. However, production of the current-generation Maxima is slated to cease this year, the nameplate is not fading into obscurity.

Instead, it will transform an electric sedan, drawing inspiration from the stylish IM concept unveiled in 2019. Anticipated to inherit powertrain components from Nissan’s electric SUV, production of the sedan is expected to commence in 2025 in Canton, Mississippi.

2026 Nissan Maxima Design

The upcoming Maxima for the 2026 model year will be entirely new, replacing the current generation whose production will conclude this year. As Nissan reorganizes its lineup, the Maxima name will temporarily go into hibernation.

By 2026, we anticipate very few components from the current Maxima to carry over, aside from the number of doors. The design inspiration will be drawn from the IM Concept, characterized by sharp angles and slim lights, described by Nissan as an “elevated sports sedan.”

The electric successor to the Maxima is projected to be an “advanced sports sedan,” suggesting Nissan may position the Maxima as either an SUV or a sedan with a higher ride height, akin to the new Toyota Crown. We anticipate the electric vehicle to feature Nissan’s shield grille, similar to that of the Ariya.
