Nissan Maxima to be Discontinued mid-2023
The Nissan Maxima, Nissan's best-selling passenger car, will be discontinued at the end of the 2022 model year. It was initially introduced in 2003 and is still one of the top-selling sedans in Northern America. The Maxima had some success throughout its long life; however, Nissan discontinued it due to plummeting sales since 2017.
Nissan announced enhancements to its Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program. The expanded eligibility now includes vehicles ten or more years old and 100,000 miles. The Certified Select program is listed on the Nissan@Home page.
Nissan has confirmed that the Nissan Leaf will get bidirectional charging. It will be available in the United States. The feature will allow the Leaf to send electricity back to the grid. It won't affect the EV's warranty.
After 42 years of success in producing Maxima, Nissan halted their production in 2023. However, the Maxima is most likely to return some years later. Nissan is focusing on producing an electric version of the Maxima. Electric vehicles are here to stay.
