I have 2011 over 5 years now Knowing how a cvt transmission works i was able to 20 mpg on a 800+ miles one way. Just last week. I chose this van or others cause it has 260 hp and nissans VG35 motors are great and non interference (no timing belt).Plenty of power with full cargo area of luggage and five bodies. Still got 20.2 mpg Transmission is smooth on high way. 80mph at 2k rpm. Set at 78mph. Read up on how cvt works to get most out of van and best mpg. My driving always yields better mpg then my wifes because i understand cvt transmissions. 😃
Dude shut up. I’ve had 8 vehicles with their CVT and never had an issue. They tend to break when people drive like morons. Seriously look up the fail rate. It’s better than most ford geared transmissions
You missed the party trick for the 3rd row. It doesnt go into the storage bay. It folds like a regular suv folding forward. The 2nd row seats fold down also. They dont remove..
I would rather the cvt. The 5 sld is geared to long and will have many dead spots in accelerstion especially with a load of people and hill climbing. The cvt is so much better. The cvt will dust the 5spd. Especially from 40
