nissan murano acceleration 0-200 km/h CVT

[brucenash]

ur MO is pretty slow, i have seen better times...like 7 secs

[bkboy747]

ahh it looks so weird with the rpms not moving

[lbcctenor08]

CVT is not a "gearbox". The type of continuously variable transmission Nissan uses contains two opposing conical spires. Power is transferred from the one connected to the engine (input shaft) to the one connected to the differential (output shaft) by two hemispherical heads (the same shape as the dodge hemi engines use for the pistons) which displace laterally in order to either increase or decrease the ratio of the speed of the engine to the speed of the output shaft. It can be unnerving to p

[SparkDischarge]

@lbcctenor08 Not in the Murano. The Murano uses a traditional steel belt and two variable pulley sheaves.

The longitudinal CVT that Nissan used had toroid and rollers.

[doncarlos42000]

I own a 2005 Murano and after being impressed by the 3.5L and CVT I bought a 2008 Maxima. It's the best combo for a daily driver!

[SupremeCleric]

i dont know a lot about how a CVT actually works, but im not a fan of the constant rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr without the nice sound a gear change, nor do i like how it just stays in such a high RPM the whole time, im guessing the trans is built so that it doesnt hurt it or cause any kind of damage?

[AndrewEastBeach1]

Nissan is starting to make me angry because they are starting to make certain models with a CVT transmission. They do not sell these certain models with regular automatic transmissions. The altima does sell have the option of a 6-speed manual, not sure about other models. This CVT transmission has so many problems. Other make's that have models with CVT transmissions do have the option of having a regular transmission but they would have to reprogram the whole car computer.

[virensanchit]

@AndrewEastBeach1 ? what kind of problems?

[greenbee1000]

@virensanchit

A lot of unproven nonsense is out there concerning CVT problems. Nissan has recently extended their CVT warranty to 10 years on their vehicles as a statement of confidence. All the major manufacturers are following with their own CVT designs, or soon will be. Test drive and you will see how how CVT works and is a significant improvement. I just bought a 2010 Sentra with $3500 cash rebate and the thing drives better than my 2002 V6 Altima 3.5SE. Tremendous value.

[virensanchit]

@greenbee1000 i did test drive a teana (maxima)

and it's such a thrill

[Devastationable]

@virensanchit failsafe mode...

[virensanchit]

@Devastationable what's a failsafe mode?

[BboyWorthington]

little airbag test at 0:04, nothing to worry about :P

[BboyWorthington]

@BboyWorthington ok more like 0:03

[ashrin1091]

cvt is hardly being improved on......it's the best shit to come...... smooth gear change nice balance between power and speed all the time and good efficiency

[Rojay1990]

i drove a 06 murano saturday and floored it til about 120 and i did not feel the gear change at all, i thought i messed up the tranny

[MrDJLEVEN]

it sounds like its gonna blow fuck i dont like it plus its slow

[xplfly]

Did anyone notice a gear chenge? cvt is the shizzle dude!

[terminez]

i want to ask you: with this cvt gear box you actually don't feel the gear change, i mean the rpm never goes down depending of the throttle?

[MadMajd1583]

does the murano have only 1 gear? lol because its not kicking down on gear change. is it because its a cvt gear?

[blackbird332]

cvt makes it seem like it only has one gear

[Johnzx2]

Yes. CVT are snowmobile-like transmissions. No gear, only a kind of clutch that always slip. I personally hate these type of transmission.. but I Love muranos

[MadMajd1583]

yeah this car would have been more interesting if it had a different type of gear.

[nlhans1990]

@Johnzx2 There is not clutch slipping. It's a variomatic like scooters use, but then much more clever.

[kenneykole]

CVT is for better fuel ecomony.

[nakah123]

murano is cool we have a 2006 .. its very cool and u can relax and own the roads ^^

[m1rchegfn]

CVT is booring

[shagboy1993]

i got me a 07 murano dont particularly like it but it will take me up to 115 mph (all i had time to do) but will not redline unless in low i think it goes faster when u go L then S then D. HATE the CVT

[9sb19]

What exactly was the blinking light on the dash for?

[carmatic]

i think it comes on when the RPM isnt going up anymore...

[9sb19]

Oh ok, thanks.

[giorgio200791]

hyundai santafe? it sucks u.u got one for almost a year. Mileage is really short, not so comfortable (yeah, even thought it has some really nice stuff, sits are not that comfortable). Sold it after the engine started mal-functioning.....really, really hated that car ¬¬

[quaresmasbiggestfan]

What do u think is better santa fe or murano??. . I would say SANTA FE!!

[huo3]

very slow

[polyvox83]

sound is problably from a nokia phone, he's got a message that's all

[nag69]

my murano toped out at 180km/h with the pedal on the floor...

[theemceemurdah]

That's impossible, I've topped 200km's in my 2007 Murano.

[nag69]

i think mine is factory governed top top out there

[bar2mix2]

Are you sure you went flat out on your murano? If tats true, my stock nissan sunny 05 beat your murano by 15 km/h.

[nag69]

im sure i did, i tryed to get it going a few more, but thats all i could get out if it.

[bar2mix2]

3500cc slower than 1600cc? ... How can it be..?

[nag69]

factory tuned like i sed lol

[bar2mix2]

Looks like i need to take a look @ mazda Cx 7 than murano..lol

[flunkis]

Dont make that mistake! Murano is faster,lighter,more fuel efficiant than the CX plus the CX has the DVT tranny which is 2X worse than a CVT

[occckid123]

murano can go 220 with no limiter and a longer road. is your sunny manual?

[bar2mix2]

Yes. Manual gear.

[occckid123]

ok dats wat i thought but dats still high for a sunny. isnt that a sentra? 1.8?

[harvpila]

poor offroad performance

[cg8888]

Sounds like someone got a text message. :)

[keniiito]

yeah its from a nokia :D

[gabrielx14h]

@cg8888 hahahaha

[Laofse]

It may be effecient, but it isn't same as driving a manual.

[eraent]

no shit.

[DB20TX]

mom owns one lol

[fabolousw1]

what's the advantage about the CVT ? I love the muranos

[dlcentar]

Better fuel economy because it keeps very low rpm, unless you hit the pedal... And better acceleration, because there arent any gear changces, only one gear... sorry for bad english ;)

[Stapletube]

Better than CVT on the dodge caliber

[ronmann606]

Why does it take so long to redline? In a regular transmission you'd redline around 60 km not 100 km.

[cavver777]

Cause it is CVT

[mjuniorsc]

I admire CVT transmitions, and I have one in my sentra 2008

[GuiARitter]

man, i just love cvts!

i hope i have one one day...

good video! got 5 *

[leonardz35]

good car!! and good video!! saludos.. ^.^

[thiago497150]

CVT is the best transmission ever. And can be improved yet

[humeidr]

true, n its really smoooth

[tven99]

its boring, if u want to drive fast

[JPRubber2]

any of you guys ever ride a snowmobile? You'd know exactly why the CVT works so well. As was mentioned in another post, the gearing can compensate for lower torque, but really it's the power that is key. I would not be surprised if they tuned this engine specifically for this transmission.

[Zhu8]

They did (thats why it has 40 horses less)

[JPRubber2]

lol But what I really meant by tuning it has to do with a more peaked power curve for higher specific efficiency at the max hp rpm, rather than detuning the output for transmission durabiity. Makes me wonder just how much torque and hp the CVT can really take, hehe.

[rawrletsgo]

the cvt is a whole different system of transmission, no gears and set speeds like you have with automatic/manual.

cvt is amazing i think..even tho it may not be as fun its definitely more efficient

as far as the engine goes..it should be fine as long as they made a good car

what was that beeping noise?

[Zhu8]

It's a Waring Bell. It sounds when you get into high Revs for a long time

[dominikwys]

but I think that then the engine is being tortured much more?

[rsschick12]

dominikwys, you are right, running an engine at 6000RPMs is not good for an engine, even in short acceleration bursts in any conventional transmission. The CVT is the cause of it staying in this 6000RPM range, and although this ultimately allows for faster acceleration by keeping the engine in the most powerful part of its power band, the engine does not like not it and definitely does not want to be running right up near the redline for extended periods of time.

[dominikwys]

thanks man all the best

[dominikwys]

interesting thing with that CVT... like in the plane... maybe not the same power, but funny :)

[webbymaster]

CVT is the same you have on your 21 speed bike.. HONDA With CVT by Shimano lol

[Tony1584]

Maybe it works more efficiently at max torque, but it gets the max power at the rpm of highest hp.

You could have an engine with the same torque at 3000 and 6000 rpm (hypothetically). To get the most power, you run it in the gear that lets the engine move at 6000 rpm because that gear has twice as much leverage as the gear that would let it run at 3000. The torque to the wheels would be twice as much.

The physics make sense.

[Luisana2485]

i hate cvt... sux

[Zhu8]

Why?

[smartkid1985]

nissan did the best job with murano's cvt. al of its other cars just seem to slug when they reach 70-80+

[petershen1984]

what's the peak torque rpm for this vehicle? I thought it's supposed to work most efficiently at a peak torque rpm, not peak hp. :)

[ilovenissan]

there isnt much low down for the cvt but once u want to overtake its nice

[nnr3]

yeah i agree with you

[cellphonezandcarz]

is there any reason y theres no gear change it just doest go from Xrpm to a lower Xrpm like most cars?

[joffeloff]

cvt, continuously variable transmission - instead of a set of gears with set ratios the transmission variates the gear ratio as the car accelerates.

[JeffroGymnast]

the murano uses a CVT transmission. that means that it continuously changes the gear ratios. so think of it as if there are an infinite amount of gears. this way, it can stay at maximum horsepower while its accelerating.

[bryanb16th]

what was the light and beep for at 00:15sec and 00:23sec.?

[humeidr]

its the 120 speed limiter warning

[bryanb16th]

oh, for the tires I'm guessing. Any way to take that off?

[petershen1984]

I was going to joke it's an incoming SMS: you are going too fast.

And I thought it was coming from a Nokia phone...

[hgallegos915]

its tricky at first to drive it.. but cvt is awesome

[MikaeruKun]

I don't know why I get so nervous when it doesn't shift. I KNOW it is a CVT. Oh well!

[ZKPZKP3]

WTF WITH THE rpms!!!

The car also doesnt change any gear since the 120 km/h

[patfromozZ]

It is a CVT (continuously variable transmission).

Other makers are using them to like Audi, Honda & Lexus.

Not a big fan of them to be honest.....sounds and feels like a slipping clutch.

[wsb88]

The rpms are high because its in sport mode.

[nnr3]

no, just because he floor it

[amirali1363]

how can i download this video?

[camrygrande]

Too slow...

[Mafk345]

pretty fast
