Does the 2020 Nissan X-Trail still have transmission issues?
2 Answers
20 Nissan X-Trail's transmission basically has no issues. Appearance: The new generation X-Trail continues the design of the overseas version, adopting the V-Motion3.0 design language, making it more personalized. The front features a large U-shaped grille with thicker chrome trim borders, giving it a more refined and imposing look; paired with split-type headlights, the front appears more impactful. Performance: The new generation X-Trail is equipped with a 1.5T variable compression ratio engine, delivering a maximum power of 150kW and a peak torque of 300 N·m, matched with a new CVT transmission.
I've been driving a 2020 Nissan X-Trail, and as an ordinary owner, I feel the transmission issues are much fewer compared to the older models, though not completely gone. My car has been running for two years, and occasionally there's a slight jerk during gear shifts, nowhere near as severe as the stuttering in my friend's older model. According to owner forum discussions, many still report CVT lag issues, especially during frequent city stop-and-go driving, but cases of complete failure are rare. Nissan implemented software upgrades and reinforced internal components for the 2020 model, significantly improving reliability. I recommend regular transmission fluid changes to prevent issues and staying alert to abnormal noises or overheating. If these symptoms appear, get it checked at the dealership promptly to avoid costly repairs and downtime.
