sound i got NUMBER_TOKEN-NUMBER_TOKEN in NUMBER_TOKEN seconds that's a smidge faster than the pathfinder on this same stretch of road it's about NUMBER_TOKEN degrees outside so it's cold but no wheel spin um that is pretty good performance this reminds me a lot of the new generation mdx which the two vehicles have three and a half liter vNUMBER_TOKENs the acura has one more gear versus the infinity but it's pretty good performance again the cvt is dead long live the nine-speed automatic that is built by zf which at first i wasn't really happy how they're using the zfNUMBER_TOKEN speed because this transmission has not always been the most responsive transmission or the smoothest but nissan and infinity now i can say have definitely been working on the tuning of this transmission and it feels fine this time i'm actually not going to break torque it we're just going to floor it from a stop here and see what we can do it's still in sport mode a little bit of wheel spin actually nice noise NUMBER_TOKEN seconds there so i'm pretty impressed actually that is respectable performance for something with a naturally aspirated vNUMBER_TOKEN a NUMBER_TOKEN-speed auto and the transmission as you can see as you can hear it shifts well it has nice crisp shifts there are still times where i notice where if i'm already going i'm trying to you know request more passing power a little bit more torque the transmission does stumble a bit but once it's shifting there used to be a time where this nine speed had these like annoying like pauses in between shifts and that's kind of been mostly removed uh put in my foot down here just floor it you can see does a pretty good job of uh getting into the lowest gear and then when it does that vNUMBER_TOKEN has a nice snarl you can't argue with a naturally aspirated vNUMBER_TOKEN i mean yes some competitors have a turbocharged four cylinder like the genesis gv NUMBER_TOKEN. i will say that this vNUMBER_TOKEN sounds better but remember it's a naturally aspirated vNUMBER_TOKEN so we have NUMBER_TOKEN pound-feet of torque you have to rev the engine to get any kind of strong performance from it which is not something you typically want to do in a luxury branded vehicle but you know for the nice smoothness the noise this vq engine is so old just like acura's vNUMBER_TOKEN in the mdx but infiniti has done a good job with the noise vibration harshness it doesn't really have any vibrations through the pedals or the steering wheel or the shifter it's just overall a good powertrain but i still think the nine speed could be a little bit snappier it it basically feels the same as in the pathfinder and in the real world i don't notice that this vehicle feels any faster i mean i'd have to really drive the two back to back but what i did notice is the pathfinder's NUMBER_TOKEN-NUMBER_TOKEN was about NUMBER_TOKEN seconds this one is comfortably around NUMBER_TOKEN so it's about NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN seconds faster which is respectable for something that has a luxury badge put my foot down here you can see really nice crisp shifts well matched and you know i thought i would
