The 2006 Nissan Maxima receives only minor changes, primarily regarding the availability of optional features. Satellite radio is now available as a factory-installed option, as are a Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System and auto-dimming door mirrors with auto-tilt down in reverse. In addition, the interface for the navigation system has been improved for 2006.
The 2006 Nissan Maxima Mid-Size Sedan compares to the Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, Mazda 6, Nissan Altima, and Toyota Camry.
