2018 Nissan Murano

The Murano expresses Nissan's advanced design direction -- including its V-motion front end, LED signature boomerang lights and the unique "floating" roof. The stunning exterior design carries into the interior, which offers an engaging social lounge feel, including features such as advanced Zero Gravity front and outboard rear seating, and the airy atmosphere created by the large windows and oversized Power Panoramic Moonroof.

With its highly sculptural, highly emotional design, Murano continues to stand out in a crossover field known more for uniformity and utility-based styling than boldness and light. The signature headlights, with their LED Daytime Running Light accents, are instantly recognizable at night.

Murano's upscale "social lounge" interior creates an inviting and comfortable atmosphere. The instrument panel height is lower than previous model year Murano. Centered between the outer wings is a large information and control center with a standard 8.0-inch color display with multi-touch control.

Adding to the driver's sense of connectedness with security is Nissan's Advanced Drive-Assist Display with a 7.0-inch high-resolution color display. Available audio systems include an advanced Bose design with 11 speakers, HD Radio and SiriusXM Satellite Radio.

Every 2018 Murano comes equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 rated at 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque paired with an Xtronic transmission tuned for quick response and smoothness. The Xtronic holds the engine at the ideal rpm for the conditions at hand, offering responsive power for passing when needed and quiet efficient running at cruising speeds or around town.

Murano is offered in front-wheel drive or intuitive all-wheel drive. Murano has responsive handling and a comfortable ride through use of a 4-wheel independent suspension featuring a front strut/rear multi-link design.
