Lumbar in the base model. Good side bolstering on bottom cushion and through the shoulders. Large range of adjustment and the wheel tilts and shifts. see full Nissan Maxima review |

Bucket seats hold you in around corners - very supportive. Telescopic steering wheel and power seats ensure you get a great driving position. Both seats and steering wheel are heated. Dual climate control great for passengers. see full Nissan Maxima review |

The rear seat of the 7th gen Maxima is slightly smaller than that of the 6th gen Maxima. Still fairly roomy, but slightly smaller. This is understandable because of the major styling change, and the conversion from 'near luxury family sedan' back to 'near luxury family sedan with a sporty edge' that took place between these generations. see full Nissan Maxima review |

CVT allows for a seamless amount of power. No gears to shift the acceleration is constant. If you feel odd driving without feeling a shift of a transmission, you can drive in sport or manual mode which emulates the sensation of a traditional transmission see full Nissan Maxima review |

The CVT allows great town and country mileage. The Engine has more power than any driver actually needs. Any prolonged WOT in passing will see serious speed limit abuses. Pass at 50, you pull back in at 85 under WOT. see full Nissan Maxima review |

Optional paddle shifters in Dsport mode, and the CVT tranny is so smooth, however, a little "doggy" from 0-40 mph, then she screams. There are a few mods that you can do to add the the performance see full Nissan Maxima review |
