Nissan Murano Summary
The Nissan Murano is a versatile midsize crossover acclaimed for its roomy cabin and all-wheel drive option. Some generations have up to four available trim levels, so you choose from many comfort and safety features to find what's right for you. The Murano, with its stylish exterior and spacious interior, is a budget-friendly choice, whether as a front-wheel drive for getting the family from point A to point B or a four-by-four vehicle for off-road adventures.
Nissan Murano Safety
The Murano has a multitude of safety technologies. Base features on models since 2009 include:
- Child safety locks
- Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and brake assist to keep your car from skidding
- Traction and electronic stability control for slippery surfaces or a sudden stop
- Driver and passenger airbags
Some drivers find the car’s large windshield pillars and high hood hamper forward visibility. However, newer models come with several driver assistance features, such as rearview camera for reversing and parking assistance as well as daytime running lights to ensure other drivers can always see you.
High-end trims and base trims on newer versions have a 360-degree camera for help with parking and a blind spot monitoring system for changing lanes. Additionally, they offer advanced safety technologies like forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking, using integrated cameras to spot potential hazards approaching too quickly.
Nissan Murano Interior
This vehicle offers a universal range of interior features, even on models that are nearing five years old, such as the 2015. The following are standard:
- Keyless entry
- Illuminated vanity mirrors for the driver and passenger
- Power steering
- Adjustable steering wheel
- Power windows, door locks and mirrors that are easily adjusted with the push of a button
- Steering wheel controls
Keyless ignition and driver seats with adjustable lumbar support are standard in models from 2009. Look for add-ons such as leather seats, heated seats and heated steering wheel.
Nissan Murano Technology
AM/FM radio and CD player come with all generations, while cars produced since 2009 offer auxiliary audio input and a total of six speakers. Newer cars have smartphone integration, Bluetooth capability and the NissanConnect infotainment system which has navigation and up to an 8-inch display. This straightforward touchscreen proves useful for some drivers, who find the accompanying voice recognition could be more user-friendly.
The most high-tech features, such as the nine-speaker audio system and panoramic sunroof, are limited to select trims, giving drivers the flexibility to pay for add-ons they want to prioritize.
Nissan Murano Space
The Nissan Murano comfortably seats five. Cargo space is roomy for an SUV with two rows, and there’s added flexibility with foldable rear seats that are easily manoeuvred with a pull-down lever. Power-folding rear seats operated by button are available.
Nissan Murano Comfort
Standard dual-zone automatic climate control lets you make temperature adjustments separately for the driver and passenger sides of the vehicle. With plenty of headroom and legroom in the front and back, everyone can stretch out in the Nissan Murano.
