Could not find a better place to put this info. I own 2018 qashqai s manual transmisson. Good vehicle with the following exceptions. You can not get cruise control on this model, not even an aftermarket kit available. The six speed transmission is geared to low 2750rpm at 100kmph. I can slow down in sixth gear to 60 and speed up to highway speed without lugging the engine. I don't know rpm on the cvt but on my sentra it was about 1800 at 100kmph. This is the reason for poorer mileage on the manual. This makes no sense unless you like shifting gears for no reason. This gearing is similar to my 86 suzuki samurai with 5 speed transmission 1.3l engine with 63hp. Seems like they just slapped a transmission in it with no thought. I went to the standard transmission because my 2014 Senta transmission cvt failed at 125000km, $5000 repair, with no warranty. My brothers 2012 Altima cvt also went but was still under warranty. I WOULD REALLY DO SOME RESEARCH ON NISSAN CVT HISTORY BEFORE PURCHASING ONE, there is a lot to read.
