Nissan Murano: The Crossover Wagon Sportman

1. Overview

With underpinnings based on those of the mid-size Altima sedan, the Nissan Murano is a bit more fashionable and sportier than the typical crossover vehicle. With seating for five, it does not provide a third row of seating, off-road ability, or impressive towing capability. Think of it more as a tall, style-conscious wagon that doesn't instantly evoke feelings of strollers and animal crackers.

The Murano's smooth, unified styling inside and out is part of what makes it so appealing to buyers in the first place. With last year's redesign, the Murano received a significantly revamped cabin, with an instrument panel that's a little more distinctive and echoed some of the features in Nissan's Infiniti luxury brand, as well as the last Altima redesign. The Murano's middle stack of controls has a new two-tiered design, with a screen (nav system or trip computer) up top and audio/climate functions below. In between, it receives a set of menu buttons and a controller for screen-based functions. The gauge cluster is also revamped, substituting a flat set of instruments with a multilayered arrangement of hooded dials. Overall, the Murano now possesses a richness in its materials that stands out in the practically minded crossover class.

2. Exterior Magnificence

Nissan Murano got a absolute redesign, with a cleaner, sleeker look on the outside (except for the controversial grille), along with a more sophisticated-looking interior. Overall, reviewers are interested in some of the details on the Murano, but responses are way more positive than negative. Nissan Murano keeps the same overall shape as the previous generation, and with some added sharpened styling cues. The exterior features include a distinctive grille, wide projector headlights, horizontal LED tail lights, revised front and rear fascias, larger fender openings to house the standard 18- or 20-inch wheels and dual chrome exhaust tips. The rising belt line sweeping into an upturned rear quarter window may look cool, but it forms a wide D-pillar followed by a big blind spot.

The Murano's nose feels like a cross between the previous generation and the smaller Rogue crossover and counters that the rear end isn’t so bulbous.The headlights make a horizontal line with the grille now, while the fenders have a strong-shouldered appearance. There are also the climbing line down the side of the Murano, and its clean new tail design, with standard LED tail lamps, so it's not all bad. Automobile is one of the few sources to criticize some of the details—like the grille—lobbing catcalls at the Murano’s bulbous bumpers, crooked chrome teeth,and the ridiculously oversize badging.

3. Interior Comforts

Interior features on the Nissan Murano include a wide center console, an elegant instrument panel design clad in wood or real aluminum accents, push-button ignition, dual-zone automatic climate control, available power-return rear seatbacks and fold-away cargo divider. Keen eyes will notice the traditional shifter pattern, new steering wheel design, available leather-fitted dashboard and gathered-leather seats and door panels.

While the Murano is very satisfying regarding styling and performance, it's a little disappointing for space and utility. The front seats are comfortable and adjustable for a wide range of driver sizes, the backseat has just enough legroom, and the seating position feels somewhat low. Three adults can fit across if necessary. Due to the roofline, the cargo area is a little small with the second row up in place, and the cargo floor is higher than you might guess from the outside.

4. Mechanical Excellence

The Nissan Murano provides only one engine: a 3.5-liter V6 with Continuous Valve Timing Control and Nissan Variable Induction Control. This strong performer is linked to Nissan's newest Xtronic CVT transmission, which delivers even power distribution whenever it's needed and contributes to the Murano's impressive 3,500-pound tow rating.

Specs:

• 3.5-liter V6
• 265 horsepower @ 6000 rpm
• 248 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4400 rpm
• EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/23

5. Relentless Performance

On the road, the Nissan Murano felt comfortable and lavish with its leather-clad seats, so much so that it was difficult to remember that we were in a Nissan rather than an Infiniti. The V6's torque made driving uphill seem almost effortless, and the CVT transmission kept it at the correct RPM for the incline. Using the iPod adapter, the interface was easy to use for scrolling through the menus and songs, but proved difficult when finding specific artists that are alphabetically on the bottom of the list. For the rear-seat passengers the ride felt less comfortable, as the bounciness of the suspension could be felt more. There is much head and leg room, more so than in the Mazda CX-7, and the reclining rear seatbacks make for more comfy seating positions.
