[@ScottyLo]

Great review. Covered everything in a reasonable amount of time and definitely helped me with making an educated choice.

[@JsGarage]

My biggest issue with CVT is that Nissan insists on the fake shifting under harder acceleration. Just let the CVT benefit from its design where shifting isn't a thing. It'd be like making an electric car feel like it shifts gears but ultimately negatively effecting performance and experience. Nissan CVT could easily be the smoothest transmission but simulated shifts make it a lesser experience than it could be. If you're light on accelerator these transmissions are just a nice, smooth pull in the torque of the engine.

[@liddlebopeep]

I have no issue with the fake shifting, I just wish Nissan would make their CVTs reliable and bulletproof.

[@SimornM]

really good looking crossover

[@bubberlad]

seems like a really nice car, would definitely consider this if i was looking for a car like this.

[@cmreviews007]

now that the interior is a step up, its definitely worth paying for

[@raphaelbecker-foss3915]

Actually, the gas pedal is a lot more linear than anything else. It's just that we all got used to the weird behaviour of our cars, putting out different amounts of power at different rpms. A CVT will level that and the car will do exactly what you tell it via the gas pedal. It's more like driving an electric than driving an ICE. Once you get used to it, you'll really appreciate the amount of sophistication a CVT will give you. It's so much more advanced than a traditional automatic, especially when coupled to 4WD.

[@DavOlek_ua]

Intuitive and convenient - that's exactly the description for my Nissan

[@NissanAltimaGuy]

Anyone complaining about the Cvt it’s so refined you truly could mistake it for a traditional automatic. My favorite thing about CVT’s are no “bad gear” ever. Not at 45mph, 60mph, 90mph, 110mph. It’s just nice to punch it and get the power you ask for. Mine has 95k miles on it and have had no issues. Comfy vehicles, Quick on their feet, smooth and quiet. There’s a reason many love Nissan’s and stay loyal to the brand. If you take care of them they last. That goes for any vehicle.
