Now we can safely say that the goal has been achieved. The exterior of the 2015-2016 Nissan Murano is based on the Resonance and NissanSportSedan, which debuted in 2013 and 2014 respectively at the Detroit Auto Show.
The bodywork is original and simply stunning. The novelty owes this to the Sport Sedan. The headlights are large, boomerang-shaped. They are in perfect harmony with the rear lights.
The false U-shaped radiator grille (V-Motion) is clearly combined with the chrome trim. The line of the latter goes to the hood as embossed stampings. There are false radiator grille blinds. They are active and function depending on the speed at which the car is moving and, as a result, the need for cooling. The bumper is large with a massive aerodynamic skirt. Fog lights are rounded, equipped with DRL.

As for the profile, the same fold flaunts on the side, running above the front wheel arches and, then, passing to the hood. Under this fold, the sides are represented by a huge number of refracting planes. The roof creates the effect of "floating" - Floating Roof. This can be explained by the fact that rear pillar veiled under glass. Above the glass luggage compartment spoiler is located. The tailgate is electric, impressive size.

Nissan Murano 2015-2016 specifications
The crossover is built on the basis of a modified Nissan platforms D. The suspension has not been changed. On wheels disc brakes. Drive full 4WD or front 2WD. By choice. Engine gasoline V6, 3.5 liters. with twenty-four valve timing (4 per cylinder). The power of the crossover is 260 horses, and the peak torque is now 325 Nm. Such indicators allowed the motor to fit into the framework of the Euro-5 ECO standard. Acceleration to a hundred in 8 seconds. Maximum speed 210 km / h.
The engine is aggregated with stepless Xtronic. The lighter weight, modified transmission and 0.31 Cx drag contributed to the fact that the 2015 representative managed to reduce fuel consumption by as much as 20% compared to its predecessor. And this cannot but rejoice. Now, according to hypothetical calculations, the consumption in combined cycle will be about 9.0 liters. The Japanese are also eager to bring a hybrid to the European market, which will be represented by a four-cylinder 2.5-liter turbocharged unit powered by gasoline and an electric motor. The power will soar up to 250 horses.
The price of the new Nissan Murano 2015-2016
According to preliminary information buy Nissan Murano 2015 in Russia possible in the second half of 2016.
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 overheat 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.
As a rule, showing updated versions of their models is all the largest producers timed to coincide with international automotive forums. Thus, the New York Auto Show, which started in mid-April 2014, became the venue for the presentation of several bright new products at once, which will soon be available at dealerships. Among other developments, the new Nissan Murano of the 3rd generation stood out with its extravagance, almost beyond recognition appearance. I must say that this model was far from the first in a series of updates started by Japanese auto giant. Previously, we already had the opportunity to get acquainted with new versions of such bestsellers as .
Note that the average japanese crossover, produced at the Nissan plant in Mississippi, has a fairly wide geography of sales and is supplied to more than 100 countries. On domestic market Nissan Murano enjoys, albeit not so high, but quite stable demand. If we take into account that the model is quite expensive and is sold with only one option power plant, and very powerful, the sales figures begin to seem more impressive. The start of production of a crossover at Nissan Manufacturing RUS in St. Petersburg had a positive effect on demand. The launch of the project in early 2011 allowed, after some time, to completely abandon imports.
The body design of the new Nissan Murano 2015 model year turned out to be very bold and extravagant. Perhaps few attendees at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show could have guessed that the futuristic Nissan Resonance concept in front of them would be reproduced next year. Murano generation with almost 100% similarity. So revolutionary changes in appearance, the crossover will certainly not be to the taste of many fans of the model who own the current version, but they are quite capable of attracting a new audience that previously preferred competitors.
What was so extraordinary that designers could bring to the appearance of the new Murano Japanese company? First of all, we note the modified front end of the body, which received a new head optics in the form of a boomerang, a V-shaped radiator grille, as well as a powerful bumper with round fog lamps, accentuated from below by original chrome inserts. Front optics, in accordance with modern requirements, may either partially or entirely consist of LEDs.
When viewed from the side of the crossover, a lot of unusual lines and stampings catch the eye, making the appearance of the car more stylish. Of course, the first thing that draws attention to itself is the so-called floating roof, which got its name from the darkened pillars. Another no less noticeable element is the original undulating depression, passing over the rear wheel arch and ending at the lamps. Otherwise, we have a classic crossover with a sloping roofline, a massive stern, a small glazing area and a window sill line tending upwards, supplemented, however, at the end with an original bend.
The rear part of the Nissan Murano 2014-2015 is formed by boomerang lights with LED elements that harmoniously fit into the overall concept, a compact trunk lid, as well as a powerful bumper with a diffuser lining and built-in exhaust pipe nozzles.
The body of the new Murano not only looks stylish and modern, it also has an almost standard streamlining, which many can envy sports cars. According to engineers, the crossover has undergone three times longer tests in wind tunnel, which ultimately led to a decrease in the coefficient drag up to 0.31. Optimal movement air currents contribute to the smooth lines of the body, as well as the presence of closing shutters of the radiator grille, an aerodynamic skirt on front bumper, a rear diffuser and a spoiler integrated into the tailgate. Also, a slight decrease in the height of the crossover played a role, despite the fact that its length and width, on the contrary, slightly increased.
Salon Nissan Murano second generation was famous for its convenience and comfort. Carefully selected, pleasant to the touch materials and successful combinations flowers did not give the slightest cause for criticism. In the interior design of the Nissan Murano 2014-2015, the line taken by the developers of the previous generation to improve ergonomics and increase general level comfort. Based on this, the number of buttons and switches designed to control the audio system and navigation has been reduced from 25 to 10. The ventilation system deflectors have changed their location and are now located above the 8-inch touch screen, under which, in turn, the climate control unit is located .
The classic three-dial dashboard in the new Murano has given way to an expanded version of Drive Assist Display, also installed on. Now located in the center of the instrument cluster, the 7-inch color display is capable of displaying ground useful information for work various systems car.
The front seats of the crossover have a good profile that provides tangible lateral support and minimal stress on the spine. A wide range of adjustments, combined with heating and ventilation functions, make them as comfortable as possible. The rear seats are no less comfortable and can accommodate three medium-sized passengers with a margin. The side rear seats can be heated.
Buyers of the Nissan Murano 2015 model year are offered several options for audio systems at once. The most advanced among them is Bose with 11 speakers, including two subwoofers. Wealthy car enthusiasts will certainly not mind ordering a package with a panoramic sunroof, especially since in the new generation of Murano it has increased in size and threatens to become almost the largest in the segment.
Among the driver assistants that the third-generation crossover is equipped with, it is worth noting the blind spot monitoring system (Blind Spot Warning), the monitoring system for “dead” zones when parking (Cross Traffic Alert), the moving object detection system (Moving Object Detection), the collision warning system (Predictive Forward Collision Warning), intelligent cruise control. The operation of all these systems is provided by four cameras and three radar sensors.
Updated 3rd generation Nissan Murano will initially be sold from the only option the power unit is a 3.5-liter gasoline V6 with a capacity of 260 hp. The maximum torque of such a motor is 325 N * m. It will be paired with an Xtronic CVT. Thanks to improved aerodynamic performance and reducing the weight of the crossover managed to achieve 20 percent fuel savings compared to its predecessor. In the future, a hybrid unit should be added to the gasoline power unit.
The suspension of the car, as before, has a fully independent configuration with MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link design at the rear. There will also be a choice between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Depending on the version, the crossover will be equipped with discs of the 18th or 20th radius.
The start of sales of the new generation Nissan Murano in North America is scheduled for autumn 2014. In Russia, the novelty is likely to arrive in the spring of 2015 and will cost more than the previous version.
Photo Nissan Murano 2014-2015
The first photos and videos of the new Nissan Murano 2015-2016 model year have been published on the network. From them it becomes clear that updated version 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 Nissan's factories. Sales of the third generation will begin this fall. First, the crossover will appear at official dealers USA and Canada. On Russian market the car should arrive only 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 the new Murano is the body design, which can only be described as 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 is hard to believe that we are facing - serial crossover. Everything is so stylish and even bold. And in some places - generally avant-garde. Note that the body has a record low 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, which 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, as an additional option, the filling is completely made of 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. The tailgate is large and practical. In addition, the door has an electric drive.
The 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. For legs rear passengers even more space than 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.
Large 8 inch touch screen 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 options basic configuration. 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 an automatic braking function. Also among the options are smart cruise control and AWD - a system all-wheel drive which provides maximum security.
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, new crossover now spends 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. It consumes 8.5 liters per 100 km in the combined cycle. 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 soon will come out 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 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 new Murano succeeded. 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 new model become more successful than 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 the new crossover as: Provocative, Premium, Optimistic. Later using feedback, was taken 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 in its own way. appearance, and also retained the comfort inside. 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 dips. 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 as on 18 inch wheels as well as 20 inch.
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. Particular attention should be paid to rear seats who received maximum amount improvements.
Technologies
Thanks to the reduction in body weight, the car began to consume 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.
