UAE Business: Nissan unveils new 9-speed automatic transmission in Mideast – Gulf Digital News

Boosting its model line-up and building on its SUV dominance across the region, Nissan has introduced a new 9-speed automatic transmission to the Middle East, offering customers improved driving experiences.

Making its debut in the recently launched all-new 2022 Nissan Pathfinder, the new high efficiency, quick-response automatic transmission delivers on customers’ needs in the region for greater fuel efficiency without compromising on power.

The new 9-speed automatic transmission offers a 30% improvement in the Pathfinder’s acceleration, building on the benefits offered by the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) in previous models.

Higher efficiency

In addition to being lighter than the CVT, the 9-speed automatic transmission offers higher efficiency as a result of design upgrades, along with a highly responsive actuator for a more engaging driving experience.

Thierry Sabbagh, President of Nissan Saudi Arabia and Managing Director of Nissan Middle East, said: “Our commitment to providing exceptional driving experiences remains paramount, with innovation across our products, technologies and services for our customers. Bearing a rich legacy and equipped with a host of advanced technologies, the all-new 2022 Pathfinder is Nissan’s first vehicle to host the new 9-speed automatic transmission in the Middle East – combining performance and efficiency to provide maximum convenience and comfort.”
