Nissan has not yet discussed how the 2025 Maxima lineup may look. The trims will likely follow the same progression as the Ariya, which ditches the old capital-letter style in favor of clever names like Engage and Evolve. We believe the Maxima will offer a small-battery variant to keep the base price low. Upper models will improve on power and range, with the latter carrying the "+" designation as part of the trim name.
The 2025 Nissan Maxima will ride on the company's CMF-EV platform, which is shared with partners Renault and Mitsubishi and currently underpins the Ariya. While we're still some time out from knowing how the new Maxima will be configured, it would make sense for Nissan to create a base model from most of the Ariya's entry-level bits, including a single electric motor on the front axle producing 214 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque.
