XTRONIC CVT
Technology Overview
CVT delivers enhanced fuel economy and seamless acceleration with a direct drive feel for enhanced AT driving pleasure.
Nissans 3rd generation XTRONIC CVT further boosts acceleration and fuel economy
Better fuel economy for everyday driving
Nissans basic approach to powertrains is to achieve an equally high measure of both environmental compatibility (fuel economy) and driving pleasure (acceleration performance). For the XTRONIC CVT, our efforts to improve fuel economy were not conned to catalog specications, but encompassed the practical fuel efciency people seek in everyday driving situations. For example, the majority of Nissan customers drive mostly in urban and suburban areas and about 60% run the air conditioner year-round. In developing the XTRONIC CVT, we enhanced real-world fuel economy based upon simulations of typical driving conditions.
The CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) provides smooth and stepless ratio changes, unlike conventional transmission systems that use sets of xed gears. With its seamless acceleration and fuel economy benets, the CVT has long been an object of Nissans R&D efforts, resulting in CVTs designed for a wide range of engines, from the 1.5-liter class to the 3.5-liter class.
