Nissan offers a 3-year, 36,000-mile basic warranty, and a 5-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty on its lineup.

    The 2022 Nissan Maxima is average compared to all vehicles.

    Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2022 Nissan Maxima has a score of 83, implying a 0.039% chance of driver death (3.4% chance of injury).

    We estimate that the 2022 Nissan Maxima has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0386% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 4.405%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0386% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 4.405% chance of being injured.

    Compared to the average vehicle, the 2022 Nissan Maxima is 17% less likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other sedans, hatchbacks, and wagons, the 2022 Nissan Maxima is 24% less likely to result in a fatal accident.

    Active safety features with Nissan's Safety Shield 360 can substantially reduce the risks of harm to vehicle occupants by preventing severe accidents. Active safety systems that are standard on the Nissan Maxima include: Automatic Emergency Braking w/ Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning, and Blind Spot Warning.

    Some safety technologies get a lot of press, but another may also improve safety. Side mirror turn signals are standard on the Nissan Maxima. They alert other vehicles of your intention to switch lanes, which allows the other vehicle's driver to prevent an impending accident with you.

    And it is about as safe as many comparable models.
