Nissan took the wraps off its 2009 Murano crossover today in Los Angeles. Nissan calls the all-new model a "super-evolution" of the first-generation Murano.
The crossover features a new exterior and interior, more standard technology, and an improved driving experience thanks to a new platform — the new Altima's "D" architecture, to be exact.
What's more Nissan says it has further refined the Murano’s standard 3.5-liter V6 engine and introduced a second-generation Xtronic CVT.
The most striking visual element of the 2009 Murano is its new body, which Nissan says has been infused with a “modern art” feel while still maintaining its distinctive DNA.
The new Murano design also includes an available dual panel power sliding glass moonroof and 2nd row skylight. Other available Murano features include a new foldaway cargo organizer, heated front and rear seats, power liftgate, rain-sensing front wipers and RearView Monitor.
All 2009 Muranos feature a VQ-series 3.5-liter DOHC V6 rated at 265 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque coupled to a CVT transmission with Adaptive Shift Control (ASC). 2009 Muranos are available in front-wheel drive or with a all-wheel drive system. The Murano comes standard with Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) with a Traction Control System (TCS).
