The curtain falls this year on the current-generation Maxima, a stalwart in Nissan’s lineup. But wipe those tears because it’s not a goodbye.
The venerable Maxima is poised to make a ground-breaking return, reinventing itself as an electric dazzler!
Taking cues from the sleek IMs concept that wowed us in 2019 and probably borrowing the electric Ariya SUV’s guts, the 2025 Nissan Maxima is revving for a spectacular entrance.
As I sift through the tantalizing tidbits, let’s peer into what we can expect from this electric phoenix, expected to be assembled in Canton, Mississippi starting in 2025.

What’s New?
Brace yourselves! The 2025 Maxima is shaking off its past like a snake shedding skin.
Don’t squint for familiar details when this beauty arrives for the 2025 model year.
The only inheritance from its predecessor? The number of doors.
The 2025 Maxima is expected to brandish a cloak of sharp angles and thin lights, reminiscent of the IMs concept – an “elevated sports sedan,” in Nissan’s own words.
Interior; Luxury Contemporary
Step inside and be ensconced in what I can call the sanctum of contemporary luxury.
The Maxima has always stood tall as Nissan’s flagship sedan in North America.
And it’s no surprise that the 2025 model will follow suit, cradling you in ample legroom, headroom, and cargo space for that impromptu road trip.
What’s a luxury sedan without a dollop of tech?
An array of infotainment options and driver-assist technologies will grace the 2025 Maxima.
If you’ve been following the evolution of Nissan’s ProPilot system, fasten your seat belts.
With a history of showcasing hands-off single-lane driving, I am anxious about how Nissan might up the ante.
Safety has never looked sexier. The 2025 Maxima is expected to don a new and improved Safety Shield 360, armed to the teeth with a cornucopia of features for driver safety and convenience.
Powertrain; It’s an EV!
The 2025 Maxima will strut on Nissan’s CMF-EV platform, a child of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance and which is currently also used on Ariya.
It would be sensible to assume that Nissan might outfit the base model with Ariya’s 214-horsepower electric motor, wouldn’t it?
But let’s talk dreams! The Maxima has always flirted with sporty driving. So, I am crossing my fingers for the monstrous 483 horsepower and 590 pound-feet from the IMs concept!
Combine electric power with aerodynamic design, and you’re looking at a car that shoots through roads like a silent arrow. Electric means torque, and torque means neck-snapping acceleration.
We’re in 2025, and I expect nothing less than rapid charging. Nissan has been making waves in Europe’s fast-charging scene, and it’s about time they brought that prowess to the 2025 Maxima.
Estimated Arrival and Price
So when can you swaddle yourself in this electric luxury? Production is slated to fire up in 2025 in Canton, Mississippi. And the price? I expect it to hover around Ariya’s mid-$40,000s.
Final Words
The 2025 Nissan Maxima promises to be more than just a car; it aspires to be an experience. A harmonious blend of elegance, technology, and exhilarating power.
For those yearning for an environmentally conscious choice without compromising on luxury or performance, keep your eyes on this electric phoenix set to rise in 2025.
And as I eagerly await its arrival, I cannot help but feel that with the Maxima, Nissan is not just launching a new car but setting a benchmark for the future of electric sedans.
