Nissan Murano SL FWD

The Nissan Murano combines the smooth ride and responsive handling of a car, the cargo space of a wagon, and the high driving position of a sport utility.

The Murano is available in three models: S, SL, and SE AWD. The S and SL come standard with front-wheel drive; all-wheel drive is optional. The SE comes with all-wheel drive as standard equipment. All models are powered by the 3.5-liter V6 mated to a continuously variable transmission that Nissan calls the Xtronic. Safety features include dual-stage frontal air bags with seat belt sensors, front-seat side-impact airbags, full-cabin curtain style head-protection airbags, and active front head restraints. Murano comes standard with four-wheel vented disc brakes with ABS, Brake Assist and electronic brake-force distribution.

For 2006, the Nissan Murano's styling has been freshened with a new grille design, a chrome lower grille insert and other subtle changes. It also gets LED taillights that look distinctive and illuminate faster to better alert drivers behind you when you apply the brakes.
