Nissan Motor Co's second-generation Murano sports utility vehicle will hit Japan's roads from Monday and will be marketed under the tagline 'Shift' design.
The new Murano has a distinctive new exterior, an enhanced sense of sporty and reassuring driving performance, a quieter and more comfortable interior with greater levels of luxury features and enhanced technology.
The Murano will be available in seven exterior colours, including the addition of Grayish Bronze and Dark Blue, an all-new Nissan colour. All colours come with the Nissan's scratch shield paint.
The new Murano has an advanced engine, transmission and chassis combination, which is anchored by Nissan's QR25DE 4-cylinder and VQ35DE V6 engines, paired with Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) and rigid D-platform. The QR25DE engine achieves improved output and fuel-efficiency through reduced friction. Torque and output are also enhanced throughout a wide speed range by enlarging the radius of intake and exhaust ports and an increased compression ratio.
The concept behind the creation of the new Murano includes:
Modern Art Design: A distinctive exterior and high-quality interior
Premium Driving Feel: A perfect balance of comfort and sportiness, which enables responsive handling in any driving situation
Suite-like Interior: A spacious, luxurious cabin with an array of user-focused comfort and convenience features
The new model has a dual-pane moonroof, featuring a power sliding glass roof with inner sunshades over both the front and rear seats.
It has an 11-speaker Bose sound audio system and is also available with an advanced HDD-based Carwings navigation system featuring a touch panel screen for greatly improved ease of operation.
An intelligent key system provides improved anti-theft functionality, including electric-assisted power steering lockup, engine immobiliser and other deterrents linked to the ID code stored in the key fob.
The car has a back-view monitor that utilises a small CCD camera to offer a colour view of the area behind the car, which is displayed on Murano's navigation system monitor. |
