Nissan has been listening to customers' opinions on the use of CVT transmissions in their models, and to better accommodate their needs, the automaker has decided to alter some of their CTVs to operate much like a traditional automatic, eliminating the rubber band feel disliked by certain drivers. The 2015 Sentra, Pathfinder, Quest, Versa, Versa Note and V-6 powered Nissan Altima in Scottsdale will all receive the new modifications. These changes should lead to a more positive perception of CVTs and satisfy buyers who appreciate conventional automatic transmissions.
Each CVT sporting the revisions will come with a D-Step Shift Logic feature that will hold a ratio before shifting, creating a smooth transition similar to a traditional automatic transmission. This new component will better serve drivers who didn't like the fact that the CVTs were not changing gears and get rid of the rubber band-like feel that would be experienced with an unaltered CVT. Due to technological roadblocks in older CVT models, Nissan will only be able to offer the modifications on their upcoming lineup. You can keep an eye out for Sentra, Pathfinder and Quest models to arrive at Pinnacle Nissan and check out the 2015 Versa, Versa Note and 2015 Nissan Altima in Scottsdale - all are on sale now!
