4. A touch of luxury
Upgrade your daily commute with the impressive list of luxurious touches in the 2014 Nissan Maxima SV Premium Package.

5. Space for the whole crew
Whether it's the family day trip, the weekday commuter carpool, or a weekend away with friends, the 2014 Nissan Maxima is up to the task. Stash away luggage, sports bags, or groceries in the respectable 14.2 cu-ft of cargo space in the rear. 60/40 split-folding rear seats allow you to bring along longer items without losing all your seating. Last but not least is the 34.6 inches of legroom for your rear passengers to enjoy.
