Loading bulky or heavy bags into the trunk of the Nissan Maxima can be a challenge due to the high liftover height. Overall, the trunk is very spacious with 15.5 cubic feet of cargo space but closing the lid without an interior pull results in hand and fingerprints all over the deck lid. Another bad design is the release mechanism for the folding rear seats. Dropping them almost requires crawling into the trunk to reach the pull straps to release the seats and then either leaning further in to push them forward to ensure they have released or walking around to the door to pull them down.
