2012 and 2016 Nissan Maxima Specifications

2012 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	Step inside, and you'll discover another good reason to buy a Cadillac XTS. The large, cushy (but not at all mushy) front seats are among the most comfortable and supportive you'll find in any car, rivaling the best from BMW, Lexus, and Volvo and easily besting the seats in the Audi and Mercedes. The rear seat of the XTS is also quite comfortable--for two people. Basing the XTS on GM's Epsilon platform, originally created for much smaller cars, has a cost. It's much cheaper and easier to lengthen a platform than to widen one. So the XTS is essentially a stretched midsize sedan rather than a large one. Rear legroom is abundant despite insufficient space for feet beneath the front seats, but the cabin is very much midsize in breadth. The compact Dodge Dart (admittedly wide and heavy for its class) provides as much space for shoulders. see full review

2016 Nissan Maxima Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	Starting with the 2013 Altima and continuing with the 2015 Murano, the latest Nissans have had exceptionally comfortable front seats. The new Maxima's seats are based on the Altima's, but have some additional padding. While they don't feel as cushy and form-fitting to me as the Murano's, they're still more comfortable than the Acura TLX's front seats, which are themselves pretty good. The side bolsters are of similarly moderate size and aggressiveness in both cars, but the Maxima SR's Alcantara upholstery prevents sliding much better than the TLX's leather. see full Nissan Maxima review

2016 Nissan Maxima Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	If you need an especially roomy rear seat, then the Maxima isn't your best bet. The Nissan does have an inch or two more rear knee room than the Acura TLX, and about an inch more rear headroom than the Lincoln MKZ (perhaps enough for someone six-feet tall), but the LaCrosse, Azera, and Avalon offer enough rear seat space for adults to not only fit but stretch out. see full Nissan Maxima review
