Description

Nissan added the Murano crossover sport utility vehicle to its lineup in the 2003 model year. Specifically designed and engineered for the U.S. market, the Murano "gets away from the slab-sided design that's so common," said Bill Kirrane, former Nissan Division general manager. The 2006 Murano wears a revised grille, and SE models have brushed aluminum roof rails. LED taillamps are installed, and SL and SE models come standard with the RearView camera system. A rollover sensor system was added to the side curtain-type airbags for 2005, and a base S model became available. Offered with either front- or all-wheel drive, the Murano has a four-wheel-independent suspension and a continuously variable transmission.
