What brand is the Murano's transmission?

Murano uses a 7-speed CVT transmission. Here is a detailed introduction to the CVT transmission: 1. The CVT transmission has excellent reliability and durability, with a simple structure, compact size, and lightweight. 2. The CVT transmission has two cone pulleys and a steel belt inside, with the steel belt moving between them. 3. The manufacturing cost of the CVT transmission is very low. 4. The CVT transmission can keep the engine within a reasonable RPM range, improving fuel efficiency. 5. Most Japanese cars use CVT transmissions.

As a car enthusiast, I'm quite familiar with the Murano's transmission. It uses Nissan's in-house Jatco CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). Jatco is a renowned Japanese brand specifically designed for Nissan models, offering smooth power delivery and fuel efficiency, making acceleration feel very fluid during daily driving. However, having driven several Murano models, I noticed that early versions occasionally had slight jerking issues, which improved significantly after upgrades. Jatco enjoys a good reputation for reliability in the industry, but it requires regular maintenance, such as changing the transmission fluid every two years to prevent wear. Many Nissan SUVs use this brand, like the X-Trail. In stark contrast to something like Mercedes' complex and expensive 9AT transmission, this makes me appreciate the Murano's cost-performance ratio even more.

I've been a long-time owner of the Murano, driving it for almost eight years now. Its transmission is the Jatco CVT type. To be honest, this transmission performs quite steadily in daily driving, with no noticeable gear shift jerks during acceleration, and fuel consumption is kept within a reasonable range. However, I remember experiencing a couple of instances of shaking during startup when I first bought it. After taking it to the 4S shop for inspection, they said it was a software issue, and it was fine after an upgrade. The Jatco brand is quite popular in Japan, with relatively low maintenance costs and easy-to-find parts. As a user, I think it's suitable for family use, not tiring on long drives, but you must pay attention to timely maintenance to avoid accelerated wear and safety issues. Compared to my friend's Toyota CVT, the Murano's has a slight advantage in smoothness.

From the perspective of automotive history, the Murano's transmission brand is Jatco, which was acquired and developed by Nissan in the 1990s, specializing in CVT technology. Jatco originally originated from Fuji Heavy Industries and was later integrated by Nissan to provide efficient powertrains for SUVs like the Murano. Its advantages include simple structure and low cost, although early models faced reliability challenges, significant optimizations have been made in recent years. Compared to other brands like ZF or Aisin, Jatco places more emphasis on cost-effectiveness. Under the current electrification trend, CVTs are still adapting to hybrid models, but Jatco has also developed new products to meet these demands.
