Under normal circumstances, the lifespan of the Nissan X-Trail's CVT transmission can exceed 100,000 kilometers.
Normal conditions include regular maintenance and not treating the vehicle like a race car.
If well maintained, the CVT transmission of the X-Trail can last between 200,000 to 300,000 kilometers, translating to approximately 15 to 20 years of use for most drivers.
Looking at the overall structure of the CVT, its core component is the drive steel belt, and the lifespan of this belt significantly depends on its operational duration.
CVT stands for Continuously Variable Transmission, and although it is also an automatic transmission, its structure differs from AT automatic transmissions that utilize gears.
The CVT can continuously change the transmission ratio for smooth shifting. By altering the radii of two cones, the CVT can adjust the gear ratio continuously, akin to a mountain bike with an infinite number of gears.
This type of transmission not only provides excellent smoothness but also exhibits good fuel economy.
