2019 X-Trail uses CVT7 instead of CVT8. The vehicle is equipped with a CVT transmission that simulates a seven-speed forward gear. The all-new X-Trail will be launched in China around the third quarter of 2021. Below is the relevant introduction of the all-new X-Trail: 1. Powertrain: It will offer a micro-hybrid system consisting of a 1.3T gasoline engine and a 12V motor, with two different power outputs: 140 horsepower and 157 horsepower. The transmission will be paired with either a manual or CVT gearbox, and the high-end models will feature a four-wheel-drive system. 2. Configuration: The new car's central control area will feature a 9-inch touch screen, embedded with Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay. It is reported that the new generation X-Trail will enhance its functional configurations, including a 10-speaker BOSE audio system, NissanConnect smartphone app, USB/TYPE-C interfaces, etc.

I have been following the automotive field for many years. For the 2019 Qashqai, most models are equipped with the CVT7 transmission. As a compact SUV under Nissan, the Qashqai typically features a 2.0L naturally aspirated or hybrid engine, with horsepower around 150-160, which fully matches the design range of the CVT7. The CVT8 is more suitable for high-performance models like the Teana, as it can handle higher torque and horsepower. The characteristics of the Qashqai's CVT7 are smooth shifting and fuel efficiency, making it very economical for city driving. However, it is recommended to regularly check the transmission fluid to avoid overheating issues. Overall, Nissan has continued the tradition of the CVT7 in this generation of the Qashqai, with high reliability, and owner feedback has been quite positive.

As a mechanic who frequently works on Nissan vehicles, I can confirm that the 2019 Qashqai is equipped with the CVT7 transmission. Based on my experience servicing dozens of Qashqais, the transmission codes all indicate the CVT7 type, which is more than sufficient for the Qashqai's 2.0L engine. In comparison, the CVT8 is used in vehicles with larger displacements. Common minor issues with the Qashqai's CVT include slight oil leaks or oil pump noise, but overall, the CVT7 is quite durable as long as you change the oil and maintain it on schedule. If you drive a Qashqai and experience some shifting roughness, don't worry—it might just be a normal characteristic of the CVT7. Gentle driving can extend its lifespan. From a practical maintenance perspective, I recommend checking it every 50,000 kilometers to avoid major issues down the road.

Can I Change the Inspection Station If My Vehicle Fails the Emissions Test?

You can change the inspection station if your vehicle fails the emissions test. Emissions test failure: The emissions test mainly targets three types of exhaust gases: CH, CO, and NOx. If a vehicle fails the emissions test, the staff will issue a "Notice of Failed Motor Vehicle Inspection Items," informing the owner to take the vehicle to a repair shop for necessary maintenance before a retest. During the retest, the owner must bring this notice and the repair invoice to prove that the vehicle has been serviced before the test. Precautions for vehicle emissions testing: Prepare some fuel in advance. When preparing for the emissions test, try to use up the fuel in the tank and replace it with higher-grade fuel. Additionally, fill up at a reputable gas station, as this can help with the emissions test.

What is the sequence of clutch, gear shift, and handbrake?

When starting, first release the handbrake, then press the clutch when pulling the handbrake, and finally shift into gear to start. Here are the related details: 1. Introduction: After the engine starts and before the car moves, the driver first presses the clutch pedal to disengage the clutch, separating the engine from the transmission system. Then, the gear is engaged, and the clutch pedal is gradually released to allow the clutch to engage. 2. Operation: During the engagement process, the resistance torque on the engine gradually increases. Therefore, the accelerator pedal should be pressed simultaneously to gradually increase the fuel supply to the engine, ensuring the engine speed remains at the lowest stable speed without stalling.

How Long Can Engine Oil Be Stored in a Car Exposed to Sunlight?

Engine oil should not be exposed to sunlight. Once opened, it can be stored for about a year. Here are the relevant details: 1. Storage Conditions: The storage environment for engine oil bottles must be clean and dry, ensuring no exposure to sunlight to prevent oxidation of the oil inside. After opening, the oil must be sealed immediately. After completing car maintenance, cover the bottle mouth with a clean plastic film and tighten the cap. When adding leftover oil from previous maintenance, do not pour all of it into the engine; retain a portion. Over time, a small amount of moisture may accumulate at the bottom of the oil bottle, which could adversely affect engine performance if added. 2. Shelf Life: Unopened engine oil stored in a cool place can last at least five years. Once opened, the shelf life is typically 6-9 months, but this depends on actual storage conditions.

Is there a relationship between the thermostat and fuel consumption?

The thermostat is related to fuel consumption. The relationship between the thermostat and fuel consumption: The thermostat controls the temperature of the engine, and the engine temperature directly affects the power output of the engine. The relationship between temperature and engine performance is like a U-curve—when the engine temperature is either too high or too low, wear increases, and higher wear leads to increased fuel consumption. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: The longer the idling time when parked, the greater the fuel consumption, so try to minimize idling time. Additionally, avoid rapid acceleration, slamming the throttle, and driving at low RPMs. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Various driving conditions such as acceleration, deceleration, braking, and engine idling, as well as load capacity, ambient temperature, and whether the air conditioning is on, can all impact a car's fuel consumption.

Why can't the car door be opened from the inside but can be opened from the outside?

The car door cannot be opened from the inside but can be opened from the outside because the child lock is engaged. Reasons why the car door cannot be opened from the inside: The child lock on the door is engaged. Disengage it to open the door normally. The connecting rod of the inner handle may have fallen off; reattach it to restore normal function. The inner handle or opening lever may be cracked or faulty; replace it with a new one. The lock mechanism may be damaged; replace it to fix the issue. Child lock: The car child lock, also known as the door lock child safety feature, is located on the rear door locks. When opened, there is a small lever (safety mechanism) below the door lock. Move the lever toward the end with the child icon, then close the door. Now, the door cannot be opened from the inside but can only be opened from the outside.

What documents are required to register for a driver's license test?

To register for a driver's license test, you need a household registration book and a valid ID card. Physical examination location: If the vehicle management office provided a physical examination when you initially registered for the driver's license, then the renewal examination will also be conducted at the vehicle management office. If the vehicle management office does not provide a renewal examination, the driver must go to a county-level or military medical institution at or above the regimental level for a physical examination, and then submit the physical condition certificate to the vehicle management office. You need to bring the original and a copy of your current driver's license; the original and a copy of your ID card; and the physical examination form. Notes for driver's license renewal: Before renewing your license, ensure that all traffic violations have been addressed, fines paid, and points cleared. Otherwise, the vehicle management office will not issue the new license.
