Of Nissan's many vehicles, there are quite a few that have a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Let's explore which vehicles contain a Nissan CVT, why that matters, and what type of performance you can expect from Nissan's vehicles. 2025 Nissan Versa The Versa is one of the most affordable and fuel efficient compact cars available. While the base S trim has a 5-speed manual transmission, all other trims come standard with the Xtronic CVT. The CVT and 1.6L four-cylinder is an economical duo, providing an EPA-estimated 32 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. more 2025 Nissan Sentra The Sentra is another fuel-efficient compact car that has a standard CVT. While slightly bigger than the Versa, it's just as efficient. With its 2.0L four-cylinder engine, it's rated for 30 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. 2025 Nissan Altima Moving up in size, the Altima is known for being a spacious and economical family sedan. Its standard 2.5L inline-four engine produces 188 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with the Xtronic CVT, giving it excellent fuel economy. The car can achieve an estimated 39 mpg on the highway in front-wheel drive models. 2025 Nissan Rogue The Rogue is Nissan's compact SUV. Its Xtronic CVT is paired with a 1.5L VC-Turbo three-cylinder engine, producing 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. The CVT includes a manual mode that lets drivers choose how their vehicle engages with the road. The SUV has three standard drive modes (Auto, Eco, and Sport), and adds two more in AWD models (Snow and Off-Road). 2025 Nissan Kicks The Kicks enters subcompact SUV territory. It sports a 2.0L inline-four engine that delivers 141 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque. The engine mates to the Xtronic CVT in all models. 2025 Nissan Kicks Play The Kicks Play is a continuation of the first-generation Kicks (the new Kicks is a redesigned version of that model). It uses the same 1.6L four-cylinder as the Versa, which pairs with the CVT. What are the Benefits of a CVT? One of the main benefits of a CVT is its ability to create superior fuel economy. This is because CVTs can continuously adjust the gear ratio to keep the engine running at its most efficient RPM. Continuously variable transmissions also provide seamless gear shifting, resulting in smooth and steady acceleration. Thanks to their simple mechanical design, they also have lower maintenance costs when compared with traditional automatic ​transmissions. ​With a ​Xtronic CVT ​transmission, Nissan's models are among the most fuel-efficient and ​cost-effective vehicles currently available.
