How long has Nissan been making electric cars?

For many drivers, it feels like electric cars are a fairly new development, and still not quite as practical as gasoline models. We expect range to increase in 2018, and charging times continue to improve, but when it comes time for a road trip, the models aren’t quite as competitive. What you may be surprised to learn is that the 2018 Nissan Leaf is 70 years in the making, as that’s how long it has been since Nissan first developed an EV. The Tama EV was developed in 1947, even though it wasn’t until late 2010 that the Leaf finally came out as the first mass-produced option. (more…)

What is Nissan Pure Drive?

One of the strongest selling points for a new or used vehicle is going to be its fuel efficiency rating. Naturally, when you choose your next vehicle, you would expect it to be more efficient (unless you’re going for a stampede of more horsepower) than what you’re currently driving.

Which Nissan Models Have a Continuously Variable Transmission?

Tuesday, January 5th, 2016

If you want a smooth and fuel-efficient ride, check out our Nissan CVT models. Many of our continuously variable transmission vehicles provide seamless acceleration and better fuel economy. Unlike traditional automatic transmissions, CVTs do not use fixed gears. This design allows for smoother power delivery and a more responsive drive. 

At Glendale Nissan, we offer several CVT transmission vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, and crossovers. Let’s take a look at the models that feature this advanced technology. 

Nissan Sedans with CVT

Several Nissan sedans come with XTRONIC CVT, which improves performance and efficiency. These models include: 

  • Nissan Versa – Available in S, SV, and SR trims with automatic transmission. It is a great choice for drivers who want an affordable and fuel-efficient option.
  • Nissan Sentra – Trims include S, SV, SR, and SR Midnight Edition. The Sentra’s Nissan CVT offers minimal shift shock and a quiet ride.
  • Nissan Altima – Available in SV Special Edition trims with both FWD and AWD. The Altima delivers strong acceleration while keeping fuel use low.

These sedans provide a smooth ride with reliable performance. Nissan’s XTRONIC CVT ensures steady power delivery without the jerky feeling of traditional gear shifts. 

Nissan SUVs and Crossovers with CVT

Many Nissan SUVs and crossovers are also continuously variable transmission vehicles, making them great for both city driving and road trips. 

Some popular options include: 

  • Nissan Kicks – Available in S, SV, and SR trims. This subcompact SUV is fuel-efficient and easy to drive in urban settings.
  • Nissan Rogue – Offers S, SV, SL, and Platinum trims with FWD or AWD. The Rogue’s CVT improves efficiency while keeping the ride smooth.
  • Nissan Murano – Includes SV (FWD & AWD), SL (AWD), and Platinum (AWD) trims. The Murano delivers strong performance with refined handling.

All of these models provide smoother shifting than standard automatics. They also offer better fuel efficiency and require less maintenance over time. 

Why Choose a Nissan CVT?

A Nissan CVT makes driving more enjoyable by eliminating the hard shifts of traditional transmissions. Instead of changing gears, it continuously adjusts for seamless acceleration. This means no sudden jolts or delays when speeding up or slowing down. 

Fuel efficiency is another major advantage. By optimizing power based on driving conditions, Nissan’s CVTs help improve gas mileage in both city and highway driving. These transmissions also have fewer moving parts than traditional automatics, which reduces wear over time. That means fewer repairs and lower maintenance costs in the long run.
