Has the X-Trail's CVT transmission been a deal breaker or has the reliability issue been exaggerated?
Among car enthusiasts, as well as potential buyers, Nissan's use of Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVTs) in vehicles such as the X-Trail have been a divisive point. Nissan's earlier CVT models earned a reputation for reliability problems, but CVTs are generally known to be smooth operating and potentially fuel efficient. This has caused the never ending debate about whether or not the CVT in the current generation X-Trail is a liability, or if Nissan has fixed the issues. Some say the issues have been mostly resolved, and the benefits of the CVT outweigh the risks, others aren’t so sure and advise against CVTs at all. The discussion is usually one of comparisons to traditional automatics and other manufacturers' CVTs, and how driving feel and long term ownership costs compare.
I have had my X-Trail for 3 years and 60,000km with no CVT problems. A lot of the complaints I think are people who are just repeating old information or people who don't take care of their vehicles.
