Nissan X-Trail 2018: CVT or tuning problem?

Asked by David

My 2018 Nissan X-Trail 2.5-litre has travelled 15,000 km and has continual slight hesitations at a steady throttle opening. I notice it at around 80 km/h and 100 km/h and feel it through the accelerator pedal and steering wheel. It's not noticeable when using cruise control. Is this a peculiarity of the CVT, or does my car having a tuning issue?

It sounds like a characteristic of the CVT rather than a tuning issue.
