The Murano was redesigned and reengineered for 2009, and it competes in price and size with the Ford Edge, Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander. It seats five. There are three trim levels of the Murano: S, SL and LE. All three now come with front- or all-wheel drive. New for 2010 The top, LE trim level is now available with front- as well as all-wheel drive. Otherwise there are no significant changes for 2010. Exterior The front end has bold headlight clusters and optional bi-xenon headlights. The rear end has some distinctive shapes, including a rear window designed for good rear visibility. LED taillights and dual chrome tailpipes are standard, while a roof rack and a power liftgate are optional.
The Murano's interior can incorporate double-stitched leather, aluminum or wood trim.
Nissan's familiar 3.5-liter V-6 powers the Murano, here producing 265 horsepower and 248 pounds-feet of torque. As before, the transmission is a continuously variable one, called Xtronic, which is one of the most time-proven ones on the market. All trims are available in either front- or all-wheel drive.
In addition to the required front airbags, the Murano has side-impact airbags for front occupants and side curtains to protect both rows of seats. The curtains are designed to deploy in the event of a rollover, too.
