Nissan Latio Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2012–2014) — First Generation
If you’re considering a first-generation Nissan Latio sedan, understanding the powertrain can help you judge how well a particular version suits your daily driving.
One Nissan Latio engine and transmission combination is the 1.2 CVT, pairing gasoline power with a continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive. The CVT adjusts its ratio automatically, saving you manual gear changes in traffic. Under sustained acceleration, it can hold higher engine revs, which may take getting used to.
