[@cecilotto504]

Nissan needs to listen to their customers. They are fed up with Cvt transmission. Put the 7 speed automatic transmission in it an the sells would skyrocket. The car would be bulletproof.

[@Briguy1027]

I've had a CVT for about 10 years and no problems with my Rogue. I suspect they use it mostly because of gas mileage. The CVT gets better gas mileage than an automatic.

[@cpd969]

I believe the lighter the vehicle the better fuel economy. So that’s why they put CVT.

[@Post2Post]

Amazing how they can do so many things right, yet so many things wrong at the same time. Not offering a manual transmission in the sport trim, or any of the higher trims at all, in my opinion is a big mistake. The AWD is extremely appealing, but not pairing it with the more powerful engine is also a big mistake. Let's hope, as said in the video, that in a couple of years they realize this and fix all the issues and give us what we actually want!

[@OnTheRocks71]

Their reasoning for not having AWD available with the turbo engine sounds like bs to me too. I'd bet the CVT coupled with the AWD and extra torque weren't meeting reliability/fuel economy metrics.

[@kevinschmitt97]

Although they do offer a sport trim remember this is only a sedan not a sports car. No one looks at a sedan hoping it comes with a stick shift.

[@LouAntonioGiordano]

If they offered awd with the 2.0T engine no one is going to buy the Q50 with the base engine, which is also a 2.0T. Plus 2.5 with awd is already in the Rogue. Cost of R&D is way lower.

[@FA--X01]

Where have you been living in a rock your entire life? Car manufacturers have stopped adding manual transmission to cars now a days because everyone wants easy and smooth shifting. No matter how good you think you are you can't beat a computer at smooth shifting.

[@JStrauD]

the AWD is not included because they expect the VC-Turbo to account for a small portion of sales. They did not spend the money adapting the system for that engine until they see how the market reacts

[@irvinpinto1262]

I Own a 2015 Altima and 3 years on not a single problem. The CVT has a little lag but nothing you can't live without. Those zero gravity seats are oh so comfy, and the car really feels sturdy and well put together. Nissan has got me hooked and my next car will be an Altima or a Maxima. Bulletproof reliability and a great product overall. Cant turn that down

[@infidel24]

I can tell you from owning an 09 Altima as well as a 2015 maxima, the cvt is horrendous. Makes it feel like it's driven by rubber bands. When we trade in our maxima next year, no more Nissan vehicle's.

[@williamgeorge4939]

[@lucastherexcat]

Failure rates are documented. Sorry but the numbers don't lie. They raised their transmission warranty period to 120000 miles to avoid DOT scrutiny (so did Subaru). What is wrong with wanting a car like the Maxima with better Transmission performance?

[@vulpixgrant]

I have a 2014 Altima SV with the 2.5 and CVT. I can get over 40mpg on the Highway doing 70 if I baby it, and 34+ City driving again babying it. The car is pretty quick as well, and it had the Tranny reprogrammed to 'help' with the failure issues... That said I do feel the rubber band effect, never realized what that feeling was until I started researching Altimas. The engine feels like it's trying to put more power down, but the tranny is delayed. I only feel it when passing or accelerating when the car's already moving, and it just feels... Weird. STILL love the car though but all that Tranny issues has me worried.

[@seheyser]

In the past lots of people, like my self, preferred an Altima instead of a Maxima, it had a larger back seat and a bigger trunk, almost the same interior quality for less money. It seems history is repeating again. Great review by the way.

[@kevinschmitt97]

Let's not scare away potential buyers by only giving the 2.5L AWD mpg numbers. The 2.5L FWD is said to get 39 mpg hwy.

[@regsparkes6507]

[@J.Nev.]

I Know V6 Engine Are Becoming Rare In Midsize Sedans , But I Wish Nissan Kept The VQ35DE Engine In The Altima. For Some Reason I Don’t Think The 2 Liter Turbo Will Perform Better Than The 2013-2018 3.5 Altimas .. Hopefully I’m Wrong

Moved away from GM into a 2015 Nissan Altima 3.5 and I am very impressive no issues outside routine maintenance...My GM vehicle would have been in the shop a few times already...I am sad that the 3.5 is gone as I would buy another one....I am just not a fan of turbos if they break they seem expensive to fix outside of warranty...all the brands are now going turbo or super chargers...no one seems to have a plain ol v6 or V8 anymore...that's really sad( maybe a dodge charger which still has a v6 and v8 options in lower trims)

[@NapFloridian]

Ford with their ST is not too bad neither, I had a V6 BMW and let me tell you the engine was flaky to say the least. Its not the V6 vs anything out there, its the way they build the car around it. I went 2017 Altima, and I am not impressed by the Power behind the engine at all. Its a City car to drive from A to B, I would rather have a more powerful engine where driving is fun from time to time, but Nissan was the option I had back when I bought the Altima.

Search Google and type in 2019 Nissan Maxima. Nissan is doing a mid cycle refresh on it. I'm assuming they're putting AWD in the Maxima. Their chief engineer stated they wanted to bring AWD to their sedan line ups, so it's definitely a possibility after now seeing it in the Altima.

1. They should make an option of a 7 speed automatic, cvt, or a manual 2. The instrument cluster goes to 140 the car will go past 160 and they removed rpm marks 3. AWD should be available on 2.0 and 2.5 4 Push button start should be moved by the steering wheel not the shifter.

[@Suction_]

Pass. That VC turbo seems like trouble. Let alone the CVT issues they've had

[@JDMHaze]

emark24 Exactly, they should've invested all that VC turbo money, into making a conventional automatic and I saw a full video explaining this damn engine from "engineering explained" And trust me I am not convinced of its reliability in the very least

[@Suction_]

Agree, it seems way to complex for the common consumer. Consider getting these used too, especially when people beat them and dont maintain them properly. They should have spent the money getting a good trans and just fine tuning their old 2.5 - the benefits of the VC for MPG really isnt that great, Mazda 6 2.5T is only a 2-3 MPG numbers off and its no where near as complex as this

[@JDMHaze]

emark24 Yes a Mazda pretty much made a diesel engine without making a diesel engine if you get when I'm saying, because they basically use the same high compression Ratio strategy, and it worked for them and this is going on a few years now so I don't understand why the hell Nissan went 300 miles basically to do the same thing , I mean this was in elaborate design to force customers into the dealership

[@Suction_]

Absolutely. I think its a marketing stunt too, something for people to talk about that's 'different'. Unfortunately different isn't better always.

[@AhmadQ.81]

I own the Altima 2013 and i drive it since then without any problems in regards of transmission or engine! It seems reliable because my driving style caused to fail my Hyundai Elantra transmession more than once!

[@billwilmington8284]

The design language of this looks great for the most part. Everyone always wants to crap on cvts. You're looking at an Altima not a GT3 calm down. I drove a 2015 Murano for 3 years and the transmission was fine, never gave me a problem. And to a degree I have faith in this new variable compression engine technology. I'd lease one if I was in the market for a midsize car

[@99-Zulu]

I don't think there is a problem that Nissan is using cvts, but there is a problem with who supplies Nissan the cvts. If Jatco put chains instead of belts on the cvts it would probably get rid of the rubber band effect, while increasing reliability. Belts tend to stretch while chains tend retain their size. But nothing is perfect.

[@TheRealSh1zz4m]

i had a 2015 altima and i cant complain about the cvt. I don't get all the hate. smooth and always in the right "gear" when you put your foot down.

[@Killerghia]

We are in the market for a sporty 4 door commuter with AWD.... So being a Nissan fan, this seems to tick the box pretty well....EXCEPT that it has a cvt... Thats a deal breaker for us. Had a cvt in a Rogue company car. Put 100k on it and it was near dead at 70k. My advise would be for Nissan to keep the cvt for the base model 2.5 fwd. We want a high output turbo awd with a real transmission (manual or automatic is fine).

My CVT 2011 Maxima has almost 150k miles and still running great. I drive a lot for work and haven't had any issues so far... (Knock on wood). I dunno bro, CVT is pretty reliable from my past few cars, had a 09 Altima before (first model I think with CVT, that first nice looking redesigned Altima model)

[@Kyzzle112718]

Nissan CVTs are fine. I had a 2007 Nissan Altima, 3.5SE with the CVT, that had 201,734 miles on the clock, and I drove that car 600 miles round trip, in total, for work on the weekends. I ALWAYS changed my CVT fluid at 30,000 miles and always put full synthetic oil in the engine. Unfortunately it got totaled by a driver, driving a 2007 Honda Accord SE, who pulled out in front of me.

Also, now you cannot get manual transmissions anymore! Even the Nissan trucks won't come with it! You have to pay more to get your truck with a manual transmission!!!

For those people complaining about there being no V6 VQ35DE anymore, you have to understand that the Altima has been encroaching on the Maxima and better differentiation is needed between the models. Ditto for why the now cancelled Hyundai Azera got a V6 compared to the previous Sonata (YF) and current generation Altima. The Accord lost the V6, partly because of Acura midsize-large cars. Toyota is only holding out for the time being.

Another decent looking vehicle. Sure as hell beats the ugly duckling Accord in terms of exterior styling 😎

[@jmasoncars4452]

☝️Considering you find the new Avalon that comes with an atrocious gaping grill at no additional cost attractive, I'd take you what consider "ugly duckling" with a grain of salt.

[@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947]

+jmasoncar s The new Avalon's grille may not be for everyone (as within the design of basically any car), but it looks sleek, well sculpted, and works very nicely with the overall (already stylish) design, and really cohesively, while looking more aggressive in a fashionable demeanour, rather than plain-jane vanilla of the prior Avalons. Also well-proportioned all around, the dramatic styling actually works there, without doing too much. (like the new Camry to a degree) The Accord on the other hand, seems like the opposite in my book. It's front looks blocky, the chrome strip looks too thick, and below it looks like something came off. If they were about to place the Honda Sensing camera on the front, they could've placed it behind the Honda emblem. And overall, it looks a bit dated, and I don't think it works with the overall car. I didn't knew how they even went from the CR-V's nice looking front that actually works regardless, to this honestly. And design is subjective, so if you say so.

[@LooneyCartoonMan]

@@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947 Coming from someone who loves and respects all cars and automobile manufacturers (including Honda), I'll have to admit the new Accord looks quite ugly and weird.

[@Suction_]

@Paul Hogue Nissan has had massive issues with their cvts

[@KennyPang]

Very finicky transmission. If you lease okay. But if you are buying a car for the long run. I rather get the traditional transmission. Also, how does it handle in the snow with AWD and CVT? Low-end torque is not CVT forte. More for MPG.

[@Alex-pn5bk]

give me a 8 speed and ill be happy

@Paul Hogue kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z37Hk4iCnNuKn6c watch this series and yes they have a High failure rate

[@JDMHaze]

Paul Hogue NaNa only is it the fact it's a CVT, it's a Nissan CVT, and you better do your research LOL because it ain't nothing a lavish about it

[@XxCiTiZeNxX]

Love these videos. Just a suggestion, can we get a full body pan of the vehicles? No swooping or swooshing the camera past body panels like the commercials do, but a nice, rotation almost, of the full vehicle while some voice-over or some nice music is playing so we can see the vehicle from headlights to taillights. I wanted to see the rear of this car and all I saw was a taillight, and it driving past the camera on the streets. I watched the video again and the rear end wasn't shown in full detail at all. The front end was shown in like 20 shots. Still, a big fan, just pointing this out.

[@TFLcar]

Sure thing

[@GIGABACHI]

AWD? They just made the shitty CVT's life a lot harder. LMAO. Looks very sleek.👌👍✨ Keep the AWD, give us a reliable MANUAL transmission for people who work on their own cars and plan to keep it for 10 years or more.

[@LantosAhim]

Hey! Great video, but one thing I don't really understand is the tire choice. I'm from Europe, and I've got separate sets of summer and winter tires (Continental Sport Contact 5 and Nokian WR D4) on a C Merc. Could you please make a video why automakers prefer those tires that are on the silver Altima there than just putting regular summer tires on especially in states where there are literally no winter? Thanks. :)

[@whatup1454]

I have the 2019 Nissan Ultima Sv and I got it for 25,000 and I love it. It is just the best car out there. It’s so smooth. I put 38$ of regular gas in and I can drive over 535 miles before I need gas. The Sv is the best in my opinion. The SL Has the built-in navigation system in the SV Has the Apple CarPlay so you can still use it but it Hass to be plugged into your phone But I love it

[@Gr1dlock0]

Sorry but much rather have the new Camry

[@mariowhyte2816]

I can absolutely appreciate the fact that Nissan like Toyota, Honda and Mazda has invested heavily in their midsized sedans. Ford missed this boat lol . With that said, I think they missed an amazing opportunity here to offer AWD on the higher trims with the turbo engine. Also, with all the documented failure issues of their CVT I hope wish and pray that they put in as much work into making this generation better for the long term. Kudos to you Nissan! Cheers.

[@Pattayaman999]

Nissan's history of CVT transmission problems.

[@6SpeedTA95]

Lots of vehicles make good power with turbo's and get mid 30s MPG without the complication of VC. BMWs B48 for example pretty consistently outperforms its EPA rating. I had one as a loaner in a 3 series and had it for three days and got 36.4 mpg and that included some city driving.

[@navyguy3341]

Hmm front end kinda looks like the face of the designer?

[@bighosre10]

I hate when people complain there's no manual transmission option. If manual transmissions sold at a reasonable volume. It would be an option. It's that simple!

[@Midnight7thgen]

Love Nissan hate the CVT please Nissan give us a 7 speed auto with normal gears 🙏🏾 CVT limits the cars potential so much 😩

[@wesammansour1486]

Love this new Altima.. It looks amazing..

[@ALittleDragRacing]

Stupid CVT transmission. Sport or Performance version cannot have a CVT, it has to be manual or a very good automatic.

[@ramoncarter6585]

I am Nissan fan and customer this Altima looks outstanding. One thing is this why ditch the V6 now all models comes with a 4 cyl. The new design looks better than last generation this model has come a long way with the last 25 years. I used to have a '07 Altima it's a great car these are one of my favorites model although still get the Maxima instead so glad Nissan did well with this model looks better than Accord.

[@hybridlancer2004]

Why did they get rid of the V6? I understand wanting more fuel efficient engines. But they should give customers the option.

New technology from Nissan in the 90s I would say, "great! They are doing it again!"

The big question is: how is it compare to the Camry and the Accord? Is it still far behind the industry camps, i.e. the latest Camry or Accord? Wish the review had shed more lights on that question.

I like Camry more. I am not being biased. They should always keep V6 in these cars. It’s so smooth and quite on highway roads going 70-80. V4 turbo good for city not highway. Have both option.
