Welcome back to our feature spotlight section, Kirkland! Today, we want to cover the amazing transmission inside the 2019 Nissan Sentra SR Turbo and the capabilities it lends owners.


Okay, you may have heard that many of Nissan’s modern vehicles come with something called a CVT. This stands for “continuously variable transmission†and means that any machine equipped with it benefits from super-smooth shifting thanks to effectively unlimited “gear ratios.†In fact, it’s smoother than even a traditional automatic! But with that said, what happens when you just want to have some plain ‘ole fun?
Well, the 2019 Nissan Sentra SR Turbo comes with a CVT that’s imbued with a manual shift mode. You can slide the shifter into the Ds position and then manually move it up and down to switch gears, mimicking “stick†shifting! This is fantastic for anyone that likes to go hands on. Plus, it’s a breeze to go back into automatic mode—just move the stick to D (Drive).
