For the first time, sitting behind the wheel, you will not find in it several drive modes, several steering wheel adjustments and several engine, gearbox and suspension modes. But, despite this, for a fairly small amount of money you will get familiar to everyone with an aggressive appearance, with excellent safety and excellent comfort.
It must be admitted that the appearance of the new Murano was a success. Other drivers on the road will still turn their heads on this car. Unlike competitors, the design of the new SUV looks modern and stylish.
The new model, in addition to a fresh appearance, also received modern engineering solutions.
The novelty has become much better than the second generation, which first debuted in 2009. The manufacturer believes that the new model will be more successful than the previous model, which did not live up to expectations.
To create something new, Nissan conducted research to find out what customers would like to see in the new generation of crossover. After a long survey of car enthusiasts Japanese brand, Nissan management settled on three options that would position new crossover like: Provocative, Premium, Optimistic. Subsequently, using the feedback, it was accepted final decision about the new style of the car. As the company's specialists managed to find out, people wanted the new model to become visually striking with new technologies.
Simple in design and stunning in appearance
Judging by the numerous reviews, we managed to make the car that customers dreamed of. This is one of the most attractive cars 2015. 2015 Nissan Murano was not just successful, but amazing.
The production version has undergone few changes compared to the concept that was shown in .
The designers of the production Nissan Murano tried not to go far from the magnificent concept car. This allowed most of the visual design tricks that we first saw at the auto show to remain in the new car.
Many owners wanted the new model to be bolder on the outside while also maintaining a comfortable interior. They wanted even more sophistication and new features inside the cabin.
jet age
Since 1960, the company and product positioning in the car market. So now with the new crossover model, most likely, it begins new era cars of the Japanese brand.
The interior also began to change for the better. So instead of plastic wood inserts will now be used plastic panels resembling polished steel.
With these panels interior looks very modern.
Also, the interior of the new Murano has become much simpler. Nissan has reduced the number of physical buttons (from 25 to 10). Now all the buttons are exactly where they are more convenient to use. For example, climate control, infotainment or navigation has become much more convenient to use than.
The beast inside
In today's review, we offer you the most powerful version, which is equipped with a 3.5 liter V6 engine with 260 hp. Although the machine is equipped with ( CVT variator) the car during acceleration behaves without jerks and failures. It is worth noting that the same transmission is installed on the popular one.
Even on low revs, with a sharp press on the gas pedal, the car is ready to pick up the required speed without delay (the main problem of CVTs in most cars).
This was made possible by fine-tuning the engine and gearbox, which reduces the ratio gear ratios depending on engine speed.
The steering is good. Electro-hydraulic steering has an optimal setting, which makes the steering wheel much more informative than in the previous generation of crossovers.
The suspension is also set to high level. So the car almost equally fulfills all the bumps on both 18-inch wheels and 20-inch ones.
Comfort
In any case, a trip on the new crossover will give you a pleasant experience and comfort. become more comfortable, thanks to the special back support. It is especially worth paying attention to the rear seats, which received maximum amount improvements.
Technologies
Thanks to the reduction in body weight, the car began to spend 20 percent less fuel than the previous model. So in urban mode, the car began to consume only 11.8l / 100km, and in suburban mode 8.4l / 100km ( for a 3.5 liter engine is an excellent indicator! ).
Murano will fit perfectly into the existing model line Nissan, and may become the driver of the company's growth in the coming years.
According to experts, the novelty can truly be considered in its segment.
Thanks to the vast number various configurations, anyone can really choose only what he needs in the car.
The top-end equipment will include various option packages and luxury items.
It is the most expensive version apparently will compete with such machines as or.
However, the base crossover will be affordable for most buyers who want a crossover in this class.
Unlike competitors, new nissan Murano 2015 is ready to bring its owner a lot of pleasure and impressions. We believe that this model has a chance of success in the global car market.
With its stunning looks, simplicity and multiple trim options ranging from plain to luxurious, the new crossover has every chance of edging out many competitors in the car market.
The network published the first photos and videos of the new Nissan Murano 2015-2016 model year. From them it becomes clear that the updated version is completely ready to start rolling off the assembly line. Members of the press were able to get acquainted with the third Nissan generation Murano, April 16, the car will be presented to the general public on April 18-27 this year at the auto show in New York.
The crossover will be produced in Canton, Mississippi, North America) at one of the factories Nissan. Sales of the third generation will begin this fall. First, the crossover will appear at official dealers USA and Canada. The car should come to the Russian market only in the next spring, 2015. Interestingly, for Russia, the crossover will be assembled on domestic factory in St. Petersburg. According to preliminary data, the price of Nissan Murano 2015-2016 in Russia will be from 1 million 850 thousand rubles.
The first thing that catches your eye when looking at new Murano- body design, which can only be called fantastic. It is extravagant and original at the same time. And all at the expense of the "inheritance" that came from Concept Nissan resonance. Recall that for the first time the concept debuted at the Detroit auto show in 2013 and it immediately became clear that Nissan was preparing to release a line of new generation crossovers with a bright and distinctive design. Therefore, it is not surprising that the design solutions of the Resonance model migrated to the updated generation of the crossover.
Now it remains to be seen how the public perceives the new model. But the first photos also provide an excellent opportunity to understand what kind of car we have in front of us. Although it’s hard to believe right away that we have a serial crossover in front of us. Everything is so stylish and even bold. And in some places - generally avant-garde. Note that the body has a record low rate aerodynamic drag- 0.31 Cx. For its class, this is very good. The same indicator, for example, has after tests in the wind tunnel Porsche-911 Turbo.
Now let's take a closer look at the new model. The first thing that involuntarily catches the eye in the front of the body is the V-Motion radiator grille. This is a new feature of designers from Japan, which fits very well and organically into the "face" of the third generation Murano. Before us is a huge bumper with an impressive aerodynamic skirt and headlights with sharp corners. We see stylish chrome inserts and fog lights that have a classic round shape. The headlights are equipped with DRL (daytime running lights), which is fully consistent with modern safety standards. For the head light additional option it is possible to fill completely with LEDs.
If you look at the hood, the feeling is that we have an element in which the contours of the muscles stand out in relief. These contours, as it were, repeat the lines of the false radiator grille. We also see grille shutters that are active. This means that the blinds can open / close depending on how fast the crossover is moving and how much the car's engine needs to be cooled.
In the body profile we see a lot of different stampings, different bulges, ribs, depressions and bends. A special "chip" - Floating Roof - a floating roof line. Also in front of us is a solid spoiler placed above the trunk glass. The stern is massive and solid, but it also looks very organic. All lines are balanced, the proportions are harmonious.
We pass to the stern. Impressive overall lighting equipment, consisting of boomerang diamonds, which have an original shape. Door luggage compartment- big and practical. In addition, the door has an electric drive.
rear bumper is also quite powerful, it organically placed trapezoid spaced apart exhaust system. In general, we have a sports car and, if you like, a youth car. Nevertheless, the Japanese designers did not forget that this is still a crossover, so they covered the lower parts of the car with unpainted plastic in advance.
Now - about external overall dimensions. The third generation compared with increased in length and width. But the height of the car became a little squat.
As the manufacturer assures, the interior of the new crossover has become even more comfortable and cozy, providing the driver and four passengers with maximum driving pleasure. Finishing materials have become even better. Interestingly, the seats of the first and second rows were developed jointly with NASA specialists. Thanks to this, Murano chairs give a minimum load on the spine.
The front seats are equipped with ventilation and heating, as well as electric drives. different adjustments. There is even more legroom for rear passengers than in the Lexus RX. Another interesting interior device is LED background lighting, which is located from the front panel up to the rear cabin.
Also attractive is the upgraded multi-function steering wheel with heated rim and instrument panel with a 7-inch color screen. But the screen displays the speedometer and tachometer readings, as well as navigation maps, tire pressure data, information from trip computer and other indicators.
A large 8-inch touch screen is also located on the center console. He is responsible for the operation of the navigator and its settings, for the phone, for a decent Bose audio system with 11 speakers. Climate control - two-zone, the image of the rear view camera or data from panoramic cameras is also displayed on the screen. There are four such cameras, and they are installed around the entire perimeter of the body.
A little more about the basic options. Among them - a system for monitoring objects in the "dead" zones (Blind Spot Warning) and a system that warns of a threat frontal collision(Predictive Forward Collision Warning). The latter has the function automatic braking. Also among the options are smart cruise control and AWD, an all-wheel drive system that provides maximum safety.
Technical equipment of the new Murano
Technical nissan specs Murano 2015-2016 third generation has a choice of two-wheel drive - full 4WD or front-only - 2WD. power unit a petrol V6 with a volume of 3.5 "liters" and a capacity of 260 "horses" is offered. Aggregates with Xtronic-CVT variator.
According to Japanese manufacturer, the new crossover now consumes 20 percent less fuel. This was achieved by reducing the curb weight - the crossover has become "lighter" by 60 kg, as well as by improving the aerodynamics of the body by 16 percent. At 100 km in combined cycle consumes 8.5 liters. fuel. At least that's what the manufacturer says. We have no choice but to take his word for it.
It is possible that in the near future it will be published and hybrid version. The hybrid will be equipped gasoline engine 2.5 l. and an electric motor. The total total power should be at least 250 horsepower.
For your attention, we provide an overview of the Nissan Murano 2015. This is a foreign car, as the name implies in 2015, mileage 13,000 km, CVT. Jeremy Clarkson (Top Gear) tested this model. He admitted that this is the best SUV in terms of handling and behavior on the road, which he had ever driven. What's the secret? But the fact is that this is actually not a SUV, but a stylized Nissan Teana. Clearance is achieved through big wheels that have been placed here. Murano stands on the chassis of an ordinary passenger car, only due to this it manages to drive so well on the road.
Technical part
Very successful 3.5l V6 nissan engine. The only problem: due to the destruction of the catalysts, gases begin to be thrown into the second row of the V-shaped block. From dust, crumbling parts of the catalyst is destroyed piston engine. This can be avoided by using only quality fuel. In all other respects, this is practically the only good motor left today.
The variator is appropriate here like nowhere else. If you don’t drive through mud and swamps, don’t allow serious slippage, then the CVT is very difficult to “kill”. It can only get very hot at high speed. In order to avoid this, you need to follow it, carefully clean the radiator and air intake at the sink (in no case should they be blocked by anything).
Otherwise, the passenger car is technically not bad, and it’s impossible to find fault with it in this regard.
Salon
The base is increased, unlike the Nissan Teana. We can say that it is bloated, especially for the large seven-seater Murano. This car was cut off by 25 centimeters back, there is no third row. And this is the advantage of Murano. In the seven-seat Nissan, engineers have designed the ability to support a hybrid and accommodate battery modules. Due to this, in such cars an uncomfortable high floor. The Nissan Murano does not have this problem and has a full rear floor.
If we talk about the doors, then you have to slam them hard so that they close, especially for the rear right and driver's.
Trunk
Due to the fact that Nissan Murano 2015 has huge wheels (20-22 inches) and you have to put a huge spare wheel, the trunk is not that big, with a small height, it is practically non-existent. In seven-seater models, the situation is better. It is impossible to place a dokatka here, because the developing moments will be simply huge, a strong wheel pull and you will simply turn around.
As for the materials for finishing the trunk, the engineers did their best: the board is normally sheathed with carpet, which is of high quality in itself, the same on the sides; there is practically no bare metal, the hinges are hidden.
Second row
Good accommodation, spacious and comfortable. Enough space for both children and adults. There are ventilation deflectors, armrests, heated seats, but the heating button is located in a rather inconvenient place. Leather upholstery is top notch. But at this price, I would like to have a three-zone climate for the second row.
Driver's seat
The steering wheel moves with servos, which is very convenient. One of the features this car, of course, a cool steering wheel heating function. As for the driver's landing, the cabin is spacious, there are no special problems. The only thing is that the bottom cushion of the chair is a bit short. Everything else (location, management) is very good. Behind the wheel there is a feeling of "commander's landing", which gives excellent visibility and is a big plus especially when driving in the city.
The multimedia system is similar to the seven-seater brand. You can find fault with the hard plastic, it looks a bit "Chinese". Scales and instruments are well made. The leather trim is very well fitted. But the inserts look like cheap plastic, and, of course, the plastic buttons look a little “clumsy” and foreign.
City driving
How does the car behave on the road? It is a pleasure to ride in the stream - you can see everything. Thanks to this, it is convenient to plan the movement in traffic in advance. But unfortunately, due to the too small and narrow rear-view mirror, the view is not very good. This minus is compensated by circular cameras.
Let's look at noise isolation at different speeds:
- 60 km / h - 68-69dB. On the ring road, the noise rises, but slightly, and fluctuates around 71dB.
- 110 km / h - speed and noise are not felt, the engine is 1800 rpm. For such a car, this is just a ridiculous speed, which you absolutely do not pay attention to.
- 130 km / h - nothing has changed, the noise has increased slightly.
It is impossible to notice any problems at all, the car drives quite quietly and comfortably. The stability is just great.
Nissan Murano is one of the best iron horses' who are driving on the track.
Murano has never spun above 2.5 thousand revolutions. Installed good bulk V6. They provide comfort while driving. The heart-rending screech of a small motor is not heard, the extra sounds of the engine do not strain. Driving is easy and pleasant.
Competitors
On this moment this machine has no direct competitors. They were Lexus RX and Toyota Highlander. But the Toyota Highlander moved into the seven-seater class. As for the Lexus RX, it has automatic transmission with hydroformer. GT-automatic is better for roads with difficult conditions. For the city it is much more convenient and even more economical nissan variator Murano. In all other respects, these models are of the same class, so, one can say, the buyer has a choice: in what conditions he will have to drive.
conclusions
An excellent car in the same class as the Lexus RX, and this is a landmark device. If you can afford a car of this class, take a very close look at the Murano. Negative sides Hardly ever. Nissan still has normal naturally aspirated V6s, and this is a serious competitive advantage. The variator is more reliable, better and more interesting than the GT-machine today, so don't be afraid of the variator. In our opinion, this great car and it is worth taking if finances allow.
Video
A video review of the car can be viewed below.
Work on the new Nissan Murano 2014-2015 seems to have come to an end. From the available photos and videos, it can be seen that this model Japanese brand has already passed all stages of development and is ready for the series.
Nissan Murano 2014-2015
Officially, media representatives will be introduced to the third generation Murano on April 16 this year, at a press conference at New York's Javits Center. It will be available to the eyes of motorists a little later - from April 18 to April 27, the premiere show of this model will take place.
Nissan Murano 2014-2015 will be manufactured in the USA. A car plant in Canton, Mississippi, will produce a car not only for local market, this model will be exported to more than 100 countries. Car enthusiasts from the US and Canada will be the first to purchase the latest Murano model. Sales there are scheduled to begin this fall. To Russia Nissan crossover will reach only by the spring of 2015. And this, despite the fact that for Russian market the car will be produced in St. Petersburg.
The new model will receive new price. The price of Nissan Murano 2014-2015 will increase to 1 million 850 thousand rubles for basic equipment.
Nissan Murano 2014-2015
Design
The first thing you pay attention to when meeting the third generation Japanese crossover – external design car. It will be very easy to distinguish it from the previous model, thanks to notes borrowed from the concept Nissan Resonance. The latter showed itself to the world in 2013 and was very warmly received. But, despite its revolutionary and even rebelliousness, Nissan Murano 2014-2015 is designed in a new style of Japanese brand crossovers. You can trace the design solutions that have already been used in new and. How correct was the use of conceptual ideas in production model, show time and sales. For now, we can only use photos and videos for evaluation.
The new Nissan Murano is not easy to see stock car. The ideas embodied in this crossover even suggest that you have a sports car in front of you. Stylishness and aggressiveness are the hallmarks of the 2014-2015 model. The body also added practicality - the aerodynamic drag indicator was only 0.31 Cx. For this class this is a real breakthrough.
The front part meets us with many interesting solutions: the V-Motion radiator grille, which has become a hallmark of Japanese designers; pointed, boomerang-shaped headlights, which look more like predatory-cunning cat's eyes; huge bumper, complemented by an aerodynamic skirt and classic fog lights. Safety headlights with LED daytime running lights running lights. This safety is built into the basic package, and as an option, it is possible to use LEDs in all head lighting equipment. The radiator grill has its continuation in the contours of the hood, which makes the front view of the car more complete. The radiator grille itself also has its own peculiarity - its blinds can open and close independently. The computer analyzes information about the degree of cooling of the engine and the speed of the car, based on the data received, a decision is made.
nissan murano profile
No less work was done by the designers on the profile of the new Nissan Murano model. Many different curves, hollows, bumps and ribs make it special. A wavy rib stretches from the rear lights to the headlights, which, together with the curving window sill line, gives the impression that the car is not driving, but floating. You can also add a floating roofline here, which slopes slightly towards the stern. Noteworthy are small, for this class, side windows, and a huge spoiler over the glass of the tailgate, and an outstanding feed. Recall that all of this is inscribed in the best possible way in aerodynamic efficiency.
The stern part also meets us with boomerang-shaped rear lights (such a feature of the model). Big and massive backdoor not only pleasing to the eye, but also adds practicality to the model. Equipped with an electric drive, it is simple and convenient to use. The rear bumper, by analogy with the front, is just as powerful and massive. He plays one of the leading roles in the design of the stern.
But, despite all its dynamism and sportiness, it is a crossover. The developers covered the lower parts of the body with special overlays made of unpainted plastic.
Color scheme Nissan Murano 2014-2015
The new Nissan Murano model will be available in the following colors:
- pearl white;
— shiny metallic;
- dark grey;
- light brown;
- Pacific sunset
- arctic blue;
- bright red;
- black.
These eight colors are the most fashionable and popular in modern automotive industry. Such a wide range should satisfy the taste of any buyer. In external dimensions (width and height), the third generation Nissan Murano added, but lost in height. The second generation model was higher.
Salon Nissan Murano 2014-2015
Interior
The interior of the Nissan Murano 2014-2015 model allows the driver and passengers to feel as comfortable and safe as possible. During production, interior decoration quality materials have been used. Front and rear row seats allow you to reduce the load on the spine, which will undoubtedly be appreciated by amateurs long trips. For their development Japanese auto giant attracted NASA specialists. All seats are heated, and the driver's and front passenger, additionally equipped with ventilation and electric adjustment. Pleasantly surprised and free place which is provided rear passengers. According to this indicator, Nissan Murano is even ahead of 2016. Background LED lighting is mounted around the entire perimeter of the cabin.
This model is equipped with a new multifunctional steering wheel, which has a heating function. instrument room drive panel Assist Display with a seven-inch color screen, allows you to receive information from pictures of the tachometer and speedometer, navigation maps, as well as from other vehicle systems, I would like to note that the same instrument panel is installed on new year. This makes it a single, universal source of information for the driver. The central panel, in turn, is equipped with an eight-inch touch screen, which allows you to make various settings. Here you can configure, at will, navigator, telephone, climate control or audio system. The latter is equipped with 11 speakers and allows you to get high quality sound. Also, the center panel display displays an image from the rear view camera and panoramic cameras. Panoramic view is provided by 4 cameras installed around the perimeter of the car. Thus, it is possible to avoid dead zones, for driver overview.
Safety and comfort
The safety of the driver and passengers is ensured by a system of various assistants:
- tracking system for objects in blind zones (Blind Spot Warning);
- frontal collision warning system, with function emergency braking(Predictive Forward Collision Warning with Forward Emergency Braking);
— All-wheel drive system (AWD);
- Intelligent cruise control.
The developers also did not forget about comfort. Possibility at your disposal remote start engine that activates air conditioner heated steering wheel rim and seats. Keyless entry (Nissan Intelligent Key) is the epitome of safety and comfort. The presence of various small "utilities" (panoramic sunroof, several USB ports) modern requirements extended to the car.

Specifications
The third generation Nissan Murano 2014-2015 model allows you to choose between a front-wheel drive version of 2WD or all-wheel drive 4WD. This crossover planned to be equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine, which should produce 260 hp. power. The new model will consume less fuel. Developers brought savings up to 20%. The main merit in this indicator is the reduction in vehicle weight (by 60 kg) and improved aerodynamic characteristics (by 16%). The consumption declared by the manufacturer is 8.5 liters per 100 kilometers. In the future, the appearance of Nissan Murano with a hybrid power plant, which is already successfully used on the Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid.
April 18, 2014 Nissan at New York international motor show presented to the public updated version Murano third generation (2015 model year).
In 2013 at the auto show in Detroit was shown stylish crossover Resonance concept. It was presented not only as the following Murano generation, but also as the future of all crossovers. And in less than two years, the concept has become a reality, the new Murano 2015. The new model, like the previous one, received a bold and sophisticated appearance that resembles a certain car of the future, as well as stylish and spacious salon with the latest technological innovations.
"Murano is for those whose environment consists of home and work, for those whose car must be beautiful and easy to drive"- Andy Palmer, Executive Vice President, Chief Technology Officer planning Nissan Motor Co.,Ltd. "The next generation must meet these needs and have a wow effect on new customers".
Appearance
The refined appearance shows which way the designers at Nissan have gone.First, the grille has been updated. She received a V-shape, which merges with the contour of the hood. Secondly, the car received new boomerang-shaped headlights that perfectly match its aerodynamic profile. High performance LED headlights give Murano lightness and create a natural daylight. Thirdly, the "floating" roof, which looks like separate element car body.
In addition, the new model received a 16% improvement in aerodynamics (drag coefficient is 0.31), the car is longer, lower and wider than previous version. LED rear lights give the Murano an avant-garde look.
Interior view
The salon resembles a comfortable home environment or the most better place at your favorite restaurant. The interior simply calls for sharing opinions, starting and maintaining a conversation. The driver and passenger seats are equipped with a heating and cooling system. Subtle lighting, high-quality materials and easy access to an expanded list of technologies freshen up the atmosphere of the entire cabin.
A heated steering wheel is standard technology on many cars, but Nissan engineers have given it a whole new twist. Heating occurs within a few seconds and can even be turned on remotely. On a chilly morning, the driver will already feel comfortable inside the car.
Not less than important function for the driver is an informational 7-inch display with high resolution, showing tire pressure, fuel consumption, and weather. It also displays alerts from the vehicle's safety features.
The center console is equipped with a touch screen that allows you to view enlarged images and get directions. The audio and climate controls have been intuitively designed and placed so that the driver or passengers can easily set the ideal cabin temperature or start the dual subwoofer and nine Bose® speaker audio system.
The electric panoramic sunroof is 40% larger than the previous generation. It is one of the largest among all vehicles.
Specifications
New Nissan The 2015 Murano is powered by a 3.5-liter DOHC V6 engine producing 260 hp. and 240 Nm of torque, paired with an Xtronic gearbox.Although the engine has not received major changes, fuel efficiency has been increased by about 20%. This effect was achieved through long testing of the car body in a wind tunnel, as a result of which it was possible to significantly reduce wind resistance. Through optimization continuously variable transmission Murano's overall weight has been reduced by 58 kg.
Louvres have been specially developed for the grille to improve aerodynamic performance and increase fuel efficiency. With more high speeds, they close automatically, reducing the amount of air entering the engine compartment. With more low speeds when the engine needs cooling, they open.
Safety
Nissan Murano 2015 is equipped with a set of standard safety features that not only protect drivers and passengers in the event of an accident, but also help to make the trip enjoyable and comfortable.
Blind Spot Warning (BSW) monitors the area on the sides and rear of the vehicle that is not visible to the driver. If she notices an approaching vehicle, the signal on side mirror and a notification comes to the driver's display. If after a certain time the vehicle is still in the dead zone, an audible notification occurs.
The Intelligent Forward Collision Warning System alerts the driver to the speed and distance to the vehicle in front. If the distance is reduced to the minimum allowable, the system detects this using special sensors and notifies the driver using sound signals.
System emergency braking help avoid frontal collision, alerting the driver with visual and sound signals and automatically resorting to vehicle braking.
And finally, an intuitive permanent or auto-connect four-wheel drive will help the driver during the start of the movement. The right amount of energy provides improved wheel traction. The system also responds to changing road conditions, helping the driver to pass wet or slippery road without much difficulty.
