Nevertheless, depending on the type of automatic transmission your Nissan Rogue is equipped with you will have more or less reliability, we will present them to you now:
- Common automatic gearbox: It will use a torque converter, which will control the gear changes, it’s the oldest technology, it has evolved a lot in the last decades (more gears and a better management of the gear changes).
- Robotized automatic gearbox: This is a manual gearbox with a robotized system that will change the driver’s action. This type of gearbox is less and less general because they are viewed as very slow. We as well often feel a coupling during deceleration.
- Dual-clutch automatic transmission: This is the best automatic transmission, it functions on similar principle as the robotic transmission, but thanks to its dual clutch, you won’t have any more problems with slow speeds or increased fuel consumption. They are often fitted on luxury models.
- Continuously variable automatic box: It is similar principle as on a scooter, a variator will come to control the differences between acceleration and motor speed, they are really slow and often be unresponsive during the acceleration phases of your Nissan Rogue.
