About MURANO
With the introduction of the Murano, Nissan will be one of the first
carmakers into the medium-size “Crossover” segment. And not only is its
exterior design groundbreaking, its use of technology is as well.

And we’ll get to that in a moment, but first, lets talk
sheet metal. The Murano certainly is something different. To some FA
editors, its a mix of current Nissan themes. A bit of Primera wagon, a dash
of the new March/Micra, a hint of the new 350Z, and throw in some of the
Quest Concept for good luck. Whether or not you like it, there’s not much
denying that it IS different. We’d take a guess and say that if you park
this next to a Pathfinder, the Pathy would look pretty dated. The theme for
the design was “sculpture in motion,” with wraparound surfaces, Nissan’s new
grille design, rounded rear hatch, and swept D-Pillar.
“Rather than being confined to a traditional two-boxes-on-four-wheels, the
Nissan Murano’s designers had free rein to create a more dramatic and
dynamic exterior that reflects both our buyers’ individuality and the same
strong ‘Nissan-ness’ that is emerging in recent designs like the
award-winning 2002 Altima and upcoming 350Z™,” said William Kirrane, Nissan
Vice President and GM.

When Nissan hinted at a lightweight rear hatch design,
they weren’t kidding. This controversial looking door is constructed of
“advanced plastics” and is reinforced with steel. Vertically stacked
headlamps with optional Xenon bulbs and standard 18 inch wheels and tires
round out this rounded package. And just as in the new G35 and 350Z, Nissan
has paid special attention to aerodynamics. Use of an underbody engine
cover, front and rear tire deflectors, and chin and rear spoilers is
certainly something unique for an SUV, or crossover.
“We think the styling is futuristic, imaginative and invigorating - just
what buyers have come to expect from Nissan,” said Kirrane.

Following the trend, Nissan has outfitted the Murano’s
interior with everything needed for their target market’s “active
lifestyles.” The theme is also “first class seating for two couples.” Nissan
claims the interior is cohesive with the exterior, with a clean and dynamic
design. Continuing Nissan’s new trend of offering an adjustable driver’s
environment, the seat is available with 8-way movement, throttle and brake
pedals can be adjusted, and a “tilt steering wheel/podded gauge cluster
function.” The spilt fold down rear seats can also recline and offer a
remote folding feature so they can be moves from the cargo area. Dual zone
climate control comes with individual rear A/C vents located in the
pillars.

The aluminum-trimmed instrument panel comes with a
standard information monitor that displays HVAC, audio, trip control, and
the optional navigation system into its “floating” design. There’s also an
available 7-speaker Bose audio system.
On the functionality side, the long wheelbase and compact rear multi-link
suspension help to create ample storage space. There’s also a two-tiered
lockable center console with room for a laptop computer, and door pockets
feature a flip-out function for even more space. Under the cargo area,
there’s a tray for storage of life’s smaller items.

“As great as it looks from the outside, the interior
provides equal appeal with its distinctive fusion of sculpted surface
treatments and aluminum accents with indulgent room and operational
simplicity,” said Kirrane. “The inner space is solid, sensual and elegant -
yet exceptionally practical at the same time.”
Safety wise, front and seat-mounted side airbags are standard along with
side front and rear passenger curtain bags. Also standard are front-seat
active head restraints that help prevent whiplash.

Murano comes with either front wheel drive or an optional
AWD system. Power comes from the 3.5L VQ V6, with “240-plus” horsepower. But
the most interesting feature will be Nissan’s continuously variable
transmission (CVT). The transmission eliminates the “steps” between gears
for a smoother, more efficient operation. The SE models also come with a
seven-speed manual shift mode. (The only other current SUV with a CVT is
Saturn's VUE SUV.) Other available features include Vehicle Dynamics Control
(VDC) and traction control.
Handling should be fairly good for an SUV, as the Murano is based on the
Altima’s FF-L (previously called SS-L) platform. It features 4-wheel
independent suspension with rear multi-link and stabilizer bars. Brake
Assist and Electronic Brake force Distribution are offered on the 4-wheel
vented disc brakes.
“Nissan has a strong heritage of leadership in trucks and SUVs with the
original Pathfinder and the category-busting Xterra,” said Kirrane. “We
believe the new Nissan Murano, with its breakthrough styling, utility and
technology, will have the same kind of impact on the crossover SUV class. It
gives Nissan buyers another great choice in powerful, high value SUVs
designed to perfectly fit their needs and lifestyles.” |
