Nissan Maxima to be Discontinued mid-2023
Another one of the many sedans that will end production soon, Nissan announced plans to discontinue its Nissan Maxima around the mid part of 2023. The decision followed at the heels of a dramatic drop in sales, and in the first half of 2022, Nissan had only sold 3,753 units of the Maxima. To put that into perspective, the Altima, in the same time frame, sold 78,610 units.
Nissan has expanded their Certified Pre-Owned program to include older models and select non-Nissan vehicles. Nissan says that this will allow more people to use a CPO vehicle and make sure they are as financially sound as possible when buying a car. Drivers of Nissan vehicles can also find the perfect used vehicle or lease through the Nissan e-commerce site after being approved by their local dealership. The company is now confident that there is greater customer satisfaction with these new developments.
The Nissan LEAF has a limited range of 150 mi, which is not very long for some consumers. However, one recent LEAF charging system update will soon change all that.
After 42 years on the market, Nissan has announced that the Maxima will no longer be produced. The decision is part of the automaker's plan to focus on more popular and profitable models.
