Is it using a nissan Torque Converter? Or the same German one that the titan and Frontier use? If its the german one, i would trust it. If its a nissan built one, while better then the CVT I would still hold off it for a few years and see what happens.
The Toyota Highlander is and has been the most trouble/free and most reliable suv for decades 🙌🏼 even the new ones with the 2.4L Turbo have been reliable.
New Pathfinder/QX60 use the ZF9 transmission, which is reliable given its from ZF. The 3.5 engine is reliable as long as oil changes are kept up on. The older ones with the CVT, yeah avoid them. Theres a 10% chance on every QX60 I scan that it has a CVT judder code, which means either replacing the valvebody or replacing the entire transmission. The QX50/55, we haven't seen really any major issues with them. Mostly loose seat tracks that are replaced under warranty. The VC turbo engine probably will have issues down the line as they get more mileage due to the variable compression, but as of right now we haven't replaced any of the engines or transmissions. I'd avoid though because its a sterile driving experience and the CVT is just blaah, coupled with the horrible dual-screen layout. When the car first starts and the bottom screen has loaded, it sometimes takes 4 clicks of the "climate" button to actually load the page on the bottom screen. The new QX60, I'd recommend it to someone looking for a nice luxury SUV. Either way, I'm a wagon guy and hate this SUV hype. If you really need the space, get a wagon from the Audi A4/A6 allroad or an Mercedes E-class wagon.
Well the VC Turbo issues are only on the Rogue and its not as big and common .. But I wish they had just kept the 2.5 in the Rogue, keep the Altima with the VC Turbo 2.0 and put the 1.5 3 cylinder VC Turbo in the Sentra and put the 2.0 inline 4 in the Versa instead of a 1.5L
Came to say what some of the users have say below, this video is BW. The Pathfinder 2022/2023/2024 use a 9 speed ZF automatic transmission witch is one of the best transmissions any car can have. Also, you can tell this video is biased, when they show the dashboard of the Pathfinder, it doesn't belong to a new one, but a very old one.
If the host did his homework from 2021 to now the Pathfinder does not use any CVT transmission so how can you say it will not last ?! Also it uses the Mercedes Benz ZF transmission that are used in its G Wagons, sports cars etc so thats false information and all the videos you shown of the Pathfinder are from old Pathfinders.. Same goes for the Infiniti QX60
There's one trend I've in cars these days, over engineered manual+automatic transmissions. Whether DCT or CVT. Since car makers stopped making cars that comes in one transmission option (if it's automatic automatic, if it's manual manual) no paddle shifters and no AUTO mode and MANUAL mode drive selector. This has made cars too complex and easy to breakdown combined with unwanted electronics found in the transmission
I’m curious how the Subaru Ascent CVT can suffer from rough shifting? CVT’s don’t shift, at all. They don’t even have gears to shift if they wanted to.
I wished yall actually put the Audi Q7 up there last year I bought a 2018 Q7 clean loaner car with 70k miles from a reputable dealer. Issues with electrical the minute I left the lot then the engine did some loss of power stuff and the dealer bought the truck back from me
That you didn’t mention the Toyota, the newer Toyota especially with a Land Cruiser 300 series are horrible of reliability, they gift it 23 out of 100 score, they engine problems, turbo problems, melting down interior overheating engine, transmission problematic especially with 10 speed
@@TheRealCatof You seem to know nothing about the B58. S65 or N63 of yester-year sure, but new BMWs are high-up in the reliability category. This isn't the 2000s and early 2010s anymore.

To ideal cars. I’m not sure what market you’re channel is getting prices from however for many of us buyers the average suv is $35,000 or higher. I have never seen or been able to purchase any of the vehicles you have listed at the prices you have provided. Unless the vehicle has heavy use and depreciation.
2024 pathfinder is using a torque converter AT now. NOT CVT
Does that make ir better?
@@michaelerzuah1105Much better in terms of both drivability & reliability.

OK, I’m calling BS on your car knowledge. The new Pathfinder has not had a CVT in almost 3 years. You clearly do not know what you’re talking about.
Kinda messed up to put a SUV on the thumbnail and not include it on the list!
2024 Pathfinders don't have CVT transmissions SMH
I stopped watching after he said the 2024 pathfinder has a CVT.
The Toyota Highlander is and has been the most trouble/free and most reliable suv for decades 🙌🏼 even the new ones with the 2.4L Turbo have been reliable.
Not to mention most engines are covered for five years or 60,000 miles. The industry average is 36,000 miles on bumper-to-bumper warranty. 😂

It’s entertaining to view your great show and not seeing my suv here. I guess I’ll keep my Lexus a little bit longer! Great info.

Seems like an accurate list. And not a single BMW.
BMWs don't last
@@TheRealCatof The B58 engine and ZF8 transmission they've been using for the past 8 years say otherwise.

Every Nissan except the sports cars and trucks have the JATCO CVT transmissions. JATCO = Junk Automatic Transmission COmpany.
Didn’t make the list. Hell yeah!
ill keep my 06 f 150 with 160k trouble free miles
Modern malaise era for the automotive industry unfortunately

The Nissan Pathfinder has a 9 speed ZF transmission. The same used in BMW's
