Kinda, at lower rpms it feels like a cvt but when you step on it you get those fake shifts. One thing I HATEEE is that the rpms go up whenever I go up a hill of any kind, like it shifts down for no reason even on the slightest hills. Then I have to use more throttle since the engine speed is higher. Every modern Nissan I have ever driven does this and it is insanely annoying. When I get my Versa there are a few cvt "mods" I want to do, one being trying to figure out if I can disable that. Maybe there is an angle sensor or something I can unplug or rig to make it think it is always on a flat surface? No clue but soon I am going to dig into some wiring diagrams and see if it something simple like that.
