Check out the Nissan Murano

The midsize SUV Nissan Murano is available in four trims (S, SV, SL, and Platinum) that offer a stable combination of quality and value. Add to that great fuel economy, a comfortable drive, and a user-friendly infotainment system, and you’re good to go. The spacious five-seater is a relaxing SUV to drive regularly. It’s the perfect vehicle for everyday commuting. Let’s take a good look at why the Murano is so appealing. 

A Comfortable Cabin 

Both rows of seating are made for comfort that you can enjoy while zipping around town or on longer road trips. Plenty of legroom and headroom for passengers enhance the softly cushioned and supportive seats. Two adults or three children easily fit into the second row. Talking about space, the Nissan Murano offers 32.1 cubic feet of cargo or 67 cubic feet with the seats folded down. No matter the weather outdoors, the Murano’s settings for heating and cooling with the available climate-controlled front seats bring relief and add to the comfort.   

Entertainment on the Go 

The Murano comes equipped with an eight-inch touch-screen infotainment system. Straightforward menus make it easy to understand and the physical buttons and knobs allow for ease of use while driving. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration is standard along with four USB ports, Bluetooth, satellite radio, and a six-speaker stereo. Other features to look at include remote keyless entry, push-button start, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Available infotainment features include navigation, a moonroof, a hands-free power liftgate, and an 11-speaker stereo.  

An Energetic Engine 

The quiet purr of the Nissan Murano’s 3.5-liter V-6 engine produces 260 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque. The muscular engine performs well around town and on the open roads. Although a continuously variable automatic transmission and front-wheel drive are standard, all-wheel drive is an available option. The Murano has an EPA-rated 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. 

A Smooth Operator 

Feel the Murano glide smoothly over rough road surfaces while keeping stable around the corners, giving a relaxing ride, albeit peppy in and around town. The brakes instill confidence with their fine stopping power. The SUV comes alive on long highway trips giving a predictable and peaceful journey. Off-the-line acceleration is swift and smooth. 

Safety First 

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the 2021 Nissan Murano a safety rating of five out of five stars. It earned five stars in the frontal and side crash tests and four stars in the rollover test. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded the 2021 Murano its highest award of a Top Safety Pick.  

The advanced safety features that are standard with the Murano include a rear view camera, forward and rearward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, and a host more. On top of that, there are available safety features, such as a surround-view parking camera system, road sign recognition, front and rear parking sensors, and adaptive cruise control. If you’re looking for one of the safest cars on the block, this is it.
