Re: Series III - CVT transmission
In addition to my X-trail, I also have a new Maxima with CVT transmission.
I think the CVT is wonderful and can't understand why all manufacturers do not use it.
The only way that you know it is working on a hill is to watch the gradual increase in engine revs and then watch them reduce as the hill flattens. It is very smooth with no sensation of changes at all. Additionally, when overtaking there is absolutely no jerking or high and sudden revving of the motor.
In regard to fuel economy, on a recent country highway run, from Orange to Dubbo and return sitting on the legal speed (110 K for about half the distance), according to the car computer it averaged 8 lit. per hundred. around town of course it is more. Actually, overall with a mix of town and country I feel it would be much the same as the X-trail that is lighter and with a smaller motor.
Additionally, it can be used as a six speed manual, but I do not know why anyone would want to.
I feel certain that the CVT in the new X-trail will transform it.

Re: Series III - CVT transmission
Here is one aspect of an x-citing drive gone LOL
I love the feeling and the reaction I get when you floor that pedal and the whole car comes to life, that's how you can tell you have something extra under the bonnet
Don't think being pushed by the CVT will excite me that much, but I still reserve the right to judge it when I drive it, as I haven't tried it before.

Re: Series III - CVT transmission
Hi Guys,
Here is how the T31 x-trail CVT transmission works in Manual Shift Mode (very interesting)

Re: Series III - CVT transmission
Re the following: quote: Here is how the T31 x-trail CVT transmission works in Manual Shift Mode (very interesting)
and in particular the last para re flooring the accelerator to change down on a hill when in "D" mode;
I have never had to floor the accelerator to change down with my Nissan CVT.
On open road runs I mostly use cruise control and the accelerator stays steady and the engine revs increase slowly on a (steep) hill, otherwise there is no indication that anything has happened at all.
To pass another vehicle and depending on the urgency a partial pressing of the pedal gets the desired result.
Around town I only treat the accelerator as I would a normal auto transmission and never have to floor it, unless I am testing the great acceleration or showing off !!
Incidentally, when changing manually by flicking the lever forward or back, the change is virtually instantaneous.

Yes it is different.
The X-TRAIL CVT Transmission is manufactured by JATCO and it is the JF011E type.

Re: X-Trail T31 - CVT transmission
It would be interesting to know if a CVT from the T31 could be fitted to a T30 auto.
I would assume with the QR25DE being the same and supposedly the floor pan being the same, then it would only be the electrics which might be tricky.

Re: X-Trail T31 - CVT transmission
It can't be done Kev.
Two different platfroms between the T30 (which is the FF-S Platfrom) and the T31 (which is the C platfrom)
