WardsAuto has named the all-new Nissan Maxima one of its 10 Best Interiors for 2016. Not only does the 2016 Maxima boast a brand new exterior styling, but its premium-crafted cabin sets it apart among rival luxury vehicles, making the Nissan Maxima one of the best vehicles you can own this year.

Bridging the Gap Between Practicality and Luxury

The 2016 Nissan Maxima is at once upscale and sporty, offering a fun and more affordable alternative to traditional luxury sedans. Nissan put the Maxima on hiatus for a full year while the company reworked the design from the ground up, making the 2016 version a complete redesign that offers an unexpected level of refinement at every turn. These updates are particularly noticeable inside, where editors at WardsAuto have noted that Nissan blurs the lines between mainstream and luxury brands.

Nissan has opted for high-quality materials throughout the cabin, adding the brand’s “Zero Gravity” seats to make your ride more comfortable than ever. These seats are designed to reduce muscle fatigue, alleviate pressure on the lower back, and put you in a more neutral, ergonomic position to help maximize blood flow and boost energy levels. A lot of science went into the design of these seats, which is something you’ll notice right away during your first test drive.

An Array of Thoughtful Features

Nissan has also put a lot of thought into features most designers would overlook. For example, there’s a bin mounted in front of the shifter that includes two handy USB ports, providing you with ample space for large smartphones. An included slot even allows you to mount your phone vertically so you can safely see messages pop up while driving.

There are also several ways you can control the car’s various functions. The central touchscreen interface features a Display Commander feature that pairs with any smartphone. This technology can read your incoming text messages through the car’s speakers, helping you keep your eyes on the road at all times. It even conducts Google searches for you and can carry out navigation requests.

Ample Space and Cargo Room

The new Maxima features 14.3-cubic-feet of trunk space, which is slightly less than some competitors, but the interior itself is roomy and spacious enough for a family of five. In order to score highly on WardsAuto’s evaluation, vehicles had to have an interior that excelled in terms of materials, aesthetics, driver information, safety, fit-and-finish, and overall comfort. The base model itself comes with power-adjustable seats and cloth upholstery, but splurging for an upper trim will get you premium materials and leather finishes.

While the tallest adults may find the backseat to be less roomy than expected, most adults and children will have ample head- and legroom throughout the cabin. Thanks to these design considerations, the new Maxima more closely fits into the midsize car segment than the full-size segment, which will appeal to a wider variety of drivers.
