The 2013 Nissan Maxima is pitched as a four-door sports car, but go beyond that marketing facade and it's a surprisingly comfortable, spacious sedan with a refined, luxury-car ride and premium interior appointments.Â
Make no mistake, this sedan has a rather sporty calibration; the ride is on the firm side, yet at the same time it's supple enough to keep passengers content. The Maxima isn't the quietest vehicle on the road, though; there's a modest amount of road noise from those low-profile, V-rated performance tires.
The standard front seats are good, although the better-bolstered ones you get with the Sport Package will be a welcome upgrade to some. The back seat is officially good for three, but it's really just good for two adults and headroom can be a bit tight compared to other sedans this size. Interior detailing is superb and really luxury-caliber, with soft leather and carefully coordinated trims.
For those envisioning long cross-country road trips, take a look in back first. Trunk space is on the small side for a larger sedan, at just 14.2 cubic feet.Up close and aesthetically, it's simply hard to fault the Maxima's interior details and materials. With soft, supple leather and carefully chosen trims, there's a true luxury-brand look and feel.

Conclusion
The 2013 Maxima has a comfortable, refined interior, although rear seating and cargo space are limited.
