engine

In the Nissan Murano, only the 3.5 liter (VQ35DE) engine known from other Nissan models (such as used in the Nissan 350Z ) is available. This V6 has a displacement of 3498 cm³ and develops 172 kW (234 hp) in the Murano. It has a maximum torque of 318 Nm at 3600 rpm. The engine accelerates the Murano up to 200 km / h. Combined fuel consumption is 10.9 l / 100 km (in urban areas: 14.9; in suburban areas: 8.6) and has CO 2 emissions of 261 g / km.

Handling & braking systems

The high torque in the Murano, in conjunction with the Xtronic- CVT automatic transmission, ensured a direct response and the ALL-MODE 4X4 drive system in combination with the ESP + system ensured good traction. The independent suspension on all four wheels of the Murano puts the model under the crossover category.

Furnishing

In Germany only the standard equipment and the special model Selection were available. The special model was characterized among other things by 20-inch alloy wheels and was only built by Nissan in a limited edition. Furthermore, the Nissan Murano Z50 had, for example, a Bose sound system, automatic air conditioning and a reversing camera. In the interior, the Murano had leather upholstery (beige or black), a Bose audio system with seven speakers and automatic climate control. In addition, the rear seats could be folded down manually. As for the exterior, the Murano was equipped with 18 "alloy wheels, two separate exhaust pipes and darkened windows. The model was available in coral red, sapphire blue, gold, vesuvius gray, night black, oriental red and dolphin silver.

safety

Every Murano was equipped with six airbags: two-stage driver and front passenger airbags, side airbags in the backrests of the front seats and head airbags in the roof pillars for the front and rear passengers. The body structure of the Murano ensured safety in the event of a collision. For example, stable steel girders strengthened the passenger compartment. Crumple zones at the front and back absorb the impact energy. Tubular flank protection beams in the doors reduce injuries in the event of a side impact.

Active headrests in the front are an important safety feature in the Murano: These are used to counteract the notorious whiplash syndrome, one of the most common accidental injuries in rear-end collisions. The way the active headrests work is based on physical principles. In a rear-end collision, the body is first thrown backwards and shortly afterwards the head, before the entire body is thrown forward again. The pressure that the occupant exerts on the backrest activates a mechanism that moves the headrest up and forward in good time so that the subsequent backward movement of the head can be absorbed. In addition, the electronic stability program helps the driver to keep his vehicle under control even in difficult situations. Driving into a curve at too high a speed can result in understeering (front of the vehicle breaks out) or oversteer (rear of the vehicle breaks out). The electronic stability program prevents the vehicle from swerving through targeted braking of individual wheels.

In addition, the regulation of the traction control is taken over by the ESP +. If a loss of traction is detected on a wheel, the so-called 'Active Brake' differential is activated with limited slip. This differential brakes the spinning wheel with the help of the anti-lock braking system and redirects the drive force to the other wheel. This means that the drive is secured both on and off the road.

The Murano had three braking systems. ABS prevents the wheels from locking and ensures that steering stability is maintained even in the event of emergency braking, which means that the vehicle remains maneuverable. The electronic brake force distribution (EBD) automatically regulates the brake pressure between the front and rear brakes. All wheels are braked optimally. This is particularly useful when hauling heavy loads or pulling a trailer. And in the event of emergency braking, the brake assistant increases the pressure that is exerted on the brakes.

In autumn 2008 the second generation of the Murano came on the market. It is based on the Renault-Nissan-D platform. The output of the 3.5 liter V6 engine has been increased from 172 kW (234 hp) to 188 kW (256 hp).

Facelift

In September 2010, the Murano underwent a facelift, with the front being slightly redesigned. In addition, the Murano received, among other things, a new multilink rear axle. In addition, the Murano is now being offered for the first time with a diesel engine that develops 140 kW (190 hp) from a 2.5 liter displacement.

At the 2010 LA Auto Show , a convertible version of the Murano called the CrossCabriolet was presented and has been available since spring 2011.

At the end of 2011 the Murano was modified again. Only the rear lights and the materials of the surfaces in the interior were changed during this facelift.

The CrossCabriolet was phased out in the 2015 model year.

Since April 2016 the Nissan Murano can no longer be configured or ordered in Germany.

At the New York International Auto Show 2014, Nissan presented the third generation of the Murano. It has been with dealers since the fourth quarter of 2014. The vehicle is no longer available in Germany. For the first time, the Murano is not being produced in Japan, but in the American plant in Canton in Mississippi .

In the United States, the Murano is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 petrol engine or a 2.5-liter petrol hybrid . For the Chinese market, the large gasoline engine will be replaced by a smaller 2.5-liter R4 gasoline engine.
