An increasing number of vehicles with sticker prices of $40,000 or less, some much less, offer heated mirrors.

J.D. Power’s annual Initial Quality Survey measures the number of consumer-reported problems per 100 vehicles during the first 90 days of ownership, and the 2023 results are not good news for manufacturers.

Nissan claims its electrification efforts are the reason for the current Maxima’s demise and hints that the nameplate may return in EV guise in the future.
