Near-luxury mid-size crossover SUV manufactured by Nissan since the 2003 model year. Known as the “Maxima of SUVs”, it slotted above the Pathfinder as Nissan’s top-of-the-line SUV until the launch of the Armada in 2004. Designed at Nissan Design America in La Jolla, California, it is based on the Nissan FF-L platform used by the Maxima and the third-generation Altima.
The Murano was nominated for the North American Truck of the Year award for 2003. It was also named the best premium mid-size SUV by AutoPacific. The vehicle itself is notable for being one of the largest vehicles available with a continuously variable transmission. Most luxuries expected in a car are standard kit in the Murano. The engine, a 3.5 litre 245 bhp V6, comes straight out of the Maxima and is specially tuned for the Murano. The ‘All-Mode 4×4 with ESP+’ is a form of traction control embedded into the car’s onboard computer and is designed to provide ‘joy’ to drive. The car is 4-wheel drive and has 4-wheel independent suspension. A luxury feature of the car is a rear-view camera in addition to a rear-view mirror. A full set of airbags, steel reinforced cabin, and head restraints are safety features designed to protect the interior whilst ESP, ABS, EBD and brake assist are mechanical safety features.
The 2006 model year Murano received some updates in the form of LED tailamps and turn signals, standard color screen, available back-up camera (standard in Canada for all models) and a restyled front end with some minor trim updates.
As of 2006, the Murano slots between the Xterra and Pathfinder (which surpassed the Murano in size since its 2005 redesign), where it became Nissan’s best-selling SUV, knocking the Pathfinder off the top spot. Despite being similar in length to the Pathfinder, it is more expensive than a Pathfinder. The Murano is also Nissan’s first front-wheel drive SUV. Also, the Murano is Nissan’s only crossover SUV other than the compact X-Trail.

We have had our 2007 Murano S AWD for six months now. I LOVE this vehicle! Firstly, it’s a Nissan, so it’s built GREAT. The CVT transmission takes a bit of getting used to, because it’s SO SMOOOOOTH. My wife drives a 2005 Sentra (bought new) and it has 240,000 miles on it…she drives a LOT. It has been a GREAT car; so when I got disgusted with my 2000 Chevy Tahoe (ALWAYS something breaking on that truck, as much as I loved it…it was VERY CHEAPLY DESIGNED) I got the bug for the Murano. I don’t care if I won a million dollars tomorrow, I’d STILL drive Nissan cars. When I trade in my Murano, it will be on another Murano! Colonial Nissan, in Charlottesville, VA., is a GREAT dealership and the folks there are FIRST RATE!
