With new looks, enhanced performance and refinement, a host of innovative features and an impressive new interior, the new Nissan Murano is a significant evolution of the trendsetting original.
"The first Murano was the original sporty crossover," says Nissan Motor Co. (Australia) Managing Director and CEO, Dan Thompson.
"The new Nissan Murano is more stylish outside than before and more luxurious inside.
"It drives and performs better, it’s more comfortable and it has many new and innovative features. But at its heart are all the strengths that made the original such a success," he says.
"Externally, new Murano is a clear evolution of the original, but the interior is quite different. We have changed the ambience of the cabin from sports activity to club lounge comfort. It is just as roomy as before, but far more luxurious.
"The original Murano handled well, but the second generation version is better still. With greater torsional rigidity, a revised suspension layout, and even more attention to noise absorption, the new vehicle raises the dynamic stakes even higher.
"The basic engine architecture hasn’t changed, but attention to fine detail has helped develop an engine that not only delivers more power, but does so using less fuel and producing fewer emissions.
"While the new Nissan Murano has a huge list of features to make driving or being a passenger even more relaxing and comfortable, it continues to be a very secure and safe place to be," he says.
