We present to your attention a review of the Nissan Murano 2015. This is a foreign car, as the name suggests, 2015, mileage 13,000 km, CVT. Jeremy Clarkson ( Top Gear) conducted a test drive of this model. He admitted that it was best SUV in terms of handling and behavior on the road, which he had the opportunity to drive. What's the secret? But the fact is that this is actually not a SUV, but a stylized Nissan Teana. Clearance is achieved due to big wheels that were placed here. The Murano sits on the chassis of a regular passenger car, which is the only reason 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. The catalyst is destroyed by dust and crumbling parts. piston engine. This can be avoided by only using quality fuel. In all other respects, this is practically the only good engine left today.
The variator is more appropriate here than anywhere else. If you do not drive through mud and swamps, and do not allow serious slippage, then it is very difficult to “kill” the variator. It can only overheat greatly high speed. In order to avoid this, you need to keep an eye on it, carefully clean the radiator and air intake in the sink (under no circumstances should they be covered with anything).
Otherwise, the car is technically quite good, and you can’t really find fault with it in this regard.
Salon
The base is increased, unlike the Nissan Teana. You can say that it is bloated, especially for the large seven-seater Muranos. The rear of this car was cut off by 25 centimeters; there is no third row. And this is the Murano's advantage. In seven-seat Nissans, engineers have designed the ability to support a hybrid and accommodate battery modules. Due to this, such cars have an inconvenient 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 to close them, especially the rear right and driver's.
Trunk
Due to the fact that the Nissan Murano 2015 has huge wheels (20-22 inches) and you have to place a huge spare wheel under the floor, the trunk is not that big, with a small height, it’s practically non-existent. The situation is better in seven-seat models. It’s impossible to place a re-roll here, because the developing moments will be simply huge, a strong wheel slip and you will simply spin around.
As for the finishing materials of the trunk, the engineers did a conscientious job: the board is normally covered with carpet, which itself is of high quality, the same is true 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, and heated seats, but the heating button is located in a rather inconvenient place. Leather trim is top notch. But for this price I would like to have a three-zone climate control for the second row.
Driver's seat
The steering wheel moves with servo drives, which is very convenient. One of the features of this car, of course, the cool steering wheel heating feature. As for the driver's seating position, the cabin is spacious, special problems No. The only issue is that the bottom cushion of the chair is a little short. In everything else (location, management) - very good. Behind the wheel there is a feeling of a “commander’s landing”, which gives excellent visibility and is a big plus, especially when driving around the city.
The multimedia system is similar to the seven-seat brand. You can find fault with the hard plastic; it looks a little “Chinese”. The 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.
Driving around the city
How does the car behave on the road? Driving in traffic is a pleasure - you can see everything. This makes it convenient to plan your traffic in advance. But unfortunately, due to the too small and narrow rear view mirror, the visibility is not very good. This disadvantage is compensated by circular cameras.
Let's look at noise reduction at different speeds:
- 60 km/h - 68-69 dB. On the ring road the noise rises, but only slightly, and fluctuates around 71 dB.
- 110 km/h - the speed and noise are not felt, the engine is 1800 rpm. For such a car, this is just a ridiculous speed, which you pay absolutely no 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 simply excellent.
Nissan Murano is one of the best " iron horses", who drive along the highway.
Murano has never spun above 2.5 thousand revolutions. Good volume V6s are installed. They provide comfort while driving. You can’t hear the heart-rending squeal of the small engine, it doesn’t bother you unnecessary sounds engine. It's easy and pleasant to drive.
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. Much more convenient and even more economical for the city Nissan CVT Murano. In all other respects, these models are of the same class, so, one might 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 an iconic device. If you can afford a car of this class, take a very close look at the Murano. Negatives Hardly ever. Nissan still has normal naturally aspirated V6s, and this is a serious competitive advantage. Today a CVT is more reliable, better and more interesting than a GT automatic, so don’t be afraid of a CVT. In our opinion, this is great car and it’s worth taking if finances allow.
Video
A video review of the car can be seen below.
One important technical characteristic of the Nissan Murano is the power plant. The car is equipped with a 3.5-liter V-shaped 6-cylinder gasoline engine. The only alternative is the Xtronic CVT continuously variable transmission. A unique Nissan development will be a pleasant addition to the driver. all-wheel drive All Mode 4×4-i.
Fuel and oil consumption
The vehicle's fuel system is made using sequential multipoint electronic mixture injection technology. This allows you to do something like this powerful engine quite economical. Nissan Murano consumes 14.8 liters of gasoline per 100 km in urban areas. On the highway, the tank will be “emptied” by 8.3 liters. Mixed cycle - 10.6 liters.
Matches the fuel consumption of the updated Nissan Murano and the “loss” of oil. If there are no problems with technical condition engine and pipelines, then virtually no lubricant is consumed.
Dimensions, dimensions, ground clearance
The overall dimensions of the Nissan Murano vary depending on the configuration, only the ground clearance of 178 mm is a constant value. The SE and SE+ variants are 4,860 mm long, 1,885 mm wide and 1,720 mm high. The LE and LE+ trim levels are slightly shorter (4,834 mm) and narrower (1,880 mm), but the car is slightly taller (1,730 mm).

Work on the new Nissan Murano 2014-2015 seems to have come to an end. From the available photos and video materials it is clear that this model Japanese brand has already gone through all stages of development and is ready for series.
Nissan Murano 2014-2015
Officially, media representatives will be introduced to the third generation of Murano on April 16 this year, at a press conference at New York’s Javits Center. It will be available to car enthusiasts a little later - from April 18 to April 27, the premiere show of this model will take place.
The 2014-2015 Nissan Murano will be manufactured in the USA. The Canton, Mississippi, plant will produce cars not only for local market, this model will be exported to more than 100 countries. Be the first to purchase latest model Murano will be available to car enthusiasts from the United States and Canada. Sales there are scheduled to begin this fall. To Russia Nissan crossover will arrive only by the spring of 2015. And this, despite the fact that for the 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 the basic configuration.
Nissan Murano 2014-2015
Design
The first thing you notice when meeting the third generation Japanese crossover – exterior design car. From previous model it will be very easy to distinguish, thanks to notes borrowed from the Nissan Resonance concept. The latter showed itself to the world in 2013 and was very warmly received. But, despite its revolutionary and even rebellious nature, the 2014-2015 Nissan Murano is designed in the new style of crossovers of the Japanese brand. Can be traced design solutions, which have already been used in new and . How correct was the use of conceptual ideas in production model, time and sales will show. For now, we can only use photos and videos to make an assessment.
In the new Nissan models Murano is not easy to see production car. The ideas embodied in this crossover even suggest that this is a sports car. Stylishness and aggressiveness are the calling cards of the 2014-2015 model. The body also added practicality - the aerodynamic drag indicator was only 0.31 Cx. This is a real breakthrough for this class.
The front part greets us with many interesting solutions: the V-Motion radiator grille, which has become the calling card of Japanese designers; pointed, boomerang-shaped headlights that look more like predatory, cunning cat eyes; a huge bumper, complemented by an aerodynamic skirt and classic fog lights. The headlights meet all safety requirements and have LED daytime running lights. This safety is included in the basic package, and as an option, it is possible to use LEDs in all head lighting equipment. The radiator grille has its continuation in the contours of the hood, which makes the front image of the car more complete. The radiator grill itself also has its own peculiarity - its blinds can open and close independently. The computer analyzes information about the degree of engine cooling and vehicle speed, and a decision is made based on the data received.
Nissan Murano profile
The designers did no less work on the profile of the new Nissan Murano model. Many different curves, depressions, bulges and ribs make it special. A wavy rib stretches from the rear lights to the headlights, which, together with the curving window sill line, creates the impression that the car is not driving, but floating. Here you can also add a floating roof line, which slopes slightly towards the stern. Noteworthy are the small (for this class) side windows, the huge spoiler above the glass of the trunk door, and the outstanding rear end. Let's remember that all this fits best into aerodynamic efficiency.
The stern also greets us boomerang-shaped rear lights(sort of a feature of the model). Big and massive backdoor not only pleases the eye, but also adds practicality to the model. Equipped with an electric drive, it is simple and easy to use. Rear bumper, similar to the front one, is also powerful and massive. He plays one of the leading roles in the design of the stern.
But, despite all its dynamism and sportiness, this is a crossover. The developers covered the lower parts of the body with special covers 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 the 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 has gained, but lost in height. The second generation model was higher.

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, during interior decoration, high-quality materials were used. Front seats and back row allow you to reduce the load on the spine, which will undoubtedly be appreciated by amateurs long trips. To develop them Japanese auto giant attracted NASA specialists. All seats are equipped with a heating system, and the driver's and front passenger, additionally equipped with ventilation and electric adjustment. Pleasantly surprising and free place, which is provided to rear passengers. According to this indicator, Nissan Murano is ahead even of 2016. Background LED lighting is installed 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 images 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 that allows you to make a variety of settings. Here you can configure the navigator, telephone, climate control or audio system as you wish. The latter is equipped with 11 speakers and allows you to receive sound High Quality. The central panel display also displays images from the rear view camera and panoramic cameras. Panoramic visibility is provided by 4 cameras installed around the perimeter of the car. In this way, it is possible to avoid blind spots for the driver's vision.
Safety and comfort
The safety of the driver and passengers is ensured by a system of various assistants:
— a system for tracking objects in blind spots (Blind Spot Warning);
— threat warning system frontal collision, 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. You have the opportunity remote start engine, which activates air conditioning system heated steering wheel rim and seats. Possibility of keyless entry ( Nissan system Intelligent Key) is the embodiment of the symbiosis of security and comfort. The presence of various small “utilities” ( panoramic sunroof, multiple USB ports) answers modern requirements, extending towards the car.

Specifications
The third generation Nissan Murano 2014-2015 model allows you to choose between a front-wheel drive 2WD version 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. The 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 km. In the prospect of the appearance of a Nissan Murano with a hybrid power plant, which has already been successfully used on Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid.
The first photos and videos of the new Nissan Murano 2015-2016 have been published online model year. From them it becomes clear that updated version completely ready to start rolling off the assembly line. Representatives of the press were able to meet the third generation Nissan 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 Nissan plants. Sales of the third generation will begin this fall. The crossover will first appear in official dealers USA and Canada. On Russian market The car should arrive only next spring, 2015. It is interesting that for Russia the crossover will be assembled at domestic plant in St. Petersburg. According to preliminary data, the price for 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 due to the “inheritance” that came from the Nissan Resonance concept. Let us remember that the concept first 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 we just have to wait to see how he takes it new model public. But the first photographs also provide an excellent opportunity to understand what kind of car we have in front of us. Although I can’t immediately believe that in front of us - serial crossover. Everything is so stylish and even bold. And in some places it’s even 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 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 part of the body is the V-Motion radiator grille. This is a new feature of designers from Japan, which very successfully and organically fits into the “face” of the third generation Murano. In front of 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 DRLs (daytime running lights) running lights), which fully complies with modern safety standards. For head light as additional option It is possible to fill it entirely with LEDs.
If you look at the hood, you get the feeling that we are looking at an element in which the contours of the muscles stand out in relief. These contours seem to repeat the lines of the false radiator grille. We also see the grille shutters, which 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 cooling.
In the body profile we see many different stampings, various bulges, ribs, depressions and bends. A special feature is Floating Roof - a floating roof line. We also have in front of us a solid spoiler located above the trunk glass. The stern is massive and solid, but it also looks very organic. All lines are verified, proportions are harmonious.
Let's move on to the stern. The dimensional lighting equipment, consisting of boomerang diamonds with an original shape, is impressive. The tailgate is large and practical. In addition, the door has an electric drive.
The rear bumper is also quite powerful; trapezoids spaced apart are organically placed in it. exhaust system. In general, this is a sports car and, if you like, a youth car. However, 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 has increased in length and width compared to. But the height of the car has become a little squat.
According to the manufacturer, 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 higher quality. Interestingly, the first and second row seats were developed jointly with NASA specialists. Thanks to this, Murano chairs place minimal stress on the spine.
The front seats are equipped with ventilation and heating, as well as electric drives for various adjustments. For legs rear passengers There is even more space than in the Lexus RX. Another interesting interior device is the LED background lighting, which is located from the front panel all the way to the rear cabin.
Also attractive is the modernized multifunction steering wheel with heated rim and dashboard with a 7-inch color screen. But the screen displays speedometer and tachometer readings, as well as navigation maps, tire pressure data, information from trip computer and other indicators.
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 telephone, for a decent Bose audio system with 11 speakers. Climate control is dual-zone; the screen also displays a rear view camera image or data from panoramic cameras. There are four such cameras, and they are installed along the entire perimeter of the body.
A little more about the options basic configuration. Among them are a system for monitoring objects in “dead” zones (Blind Spot Warning) and a system that warns of the threat of a 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 ensures maximum safety.
Technical equipment of the new Murano
Technical Nissan specifications The third generation Murano 2015-2016 has a choice of two drives - full 4WD or only front-wheel drive - 2WD. Power unit A petrol V6 with a volume of 3.5 liters and a capacity of 260 horsepower is offered. Combined with the Xtronic-CVT variator.
According to Japanese manufacturer, new crossover now consumes 20 percent less fuel. This was achieved by reducing the curb weight - the crossover became “lighter” by 60 kg, as well as by improving the aerodynamics of the body by 16 percent. At 100 km mixed cycle consumes 8.5 liters. fuel. At least that's what the manufacturer claims. For now, we have no choice but to take his word for it.
It is possible that in soon will be released and hybrid version. The hybrid will be equipped gasoline engine volume 2.5 l. and an electric motor. The total total power must be at least 250 horsepower.
2015, which received a large number of positive responses, has finally become available to domestic car enthusiasts. Those who watched the video test drive of the new crossover were convinced that the designers did a great job - they left all the best from the previous version of Murano, and even improved it a little. The result is a car that has earned the right to be popular and in demand.
Design.
Exterior of Nissan Murano 2015 , contrary to the expectations of the majority, it did not acquire the “faceted” style that is a trend. The developers continued the previously chosen strategy and made the car look like a show car. The main “attraction” of the crossover is the V-shaped radiator grille with built-in automatic shutters. The optics have also been updated: the smooth shape of the boomerang and led lights give the appearance of the Nissan Murano 2015 a feeling of unreality. By the way, it is precisely thanks to the unusual shapes this model sometimes called an alien. Bumpers that protrude forward and cut through the air when moving only enhance these sensations. If you watch a video of a car moving at an impressive speed, you get the impression of flying.
Dimensions have increased: the length is 4,910, the width of the car reaches 1,910 mm, and the height is 1,707 mm. This change entailed an increase in the distance between the axles of the rear and front wheels, now the figure is 2,875 mm. The weight, surprisingly, decreased by as much as 58 kg! And the standard equipment of the restyled Nissan 2015 weighs 1,730 kg.
The new body design not only made it more striking and memorable, but also significantly increased the aerodynamic coefficient. Test Drive showed that the results of the updated Murano were equal to those of the Porsche 911 Turbo, which belongs to the class sports cars. The air resistance coefficient of the new product is 0.31Cx. Considering that the test drive took place in different conditions and on different roads, the 2015 Nissan can be called an excellent city crossover that will not get lost on poor-quality roads outside the city. Watching the video, you can note that even at the most sharp turns, the car drives confidently.
Interior.
The interior of the new Nissan Murano is comfortable and spacious: great attention was paid to the development of the seats. Now both passengers and the driver of a Nissan car can enjoy the trip with minimal stress on their backs. The front seats are ventilated and electrically adjustable. Heating is now available to all passengers. The modified shape of the seats has increased legroom, which also has a positive effect on ride comfort. The shape of the steering wheel has changed - it has become anatomical, the upholstery is pleasant to the touch, and a heating function has appeared. The center console and control panel continued the “space” theme, the car is now more functional, and it has acquired a unique interior design. It is also important to know that very high level materials were used to decorate the interior.
A test drive of the 2015 Nissan Murano proved that the improved safety system has significantly reduced the workload on the driver. From the video it is clear that the blind spot monitoring system works perfectly - the driver is promptly notified of any object that is within the coverage area of the cameras. The test drive also showed that the PFCW system worked well thanks to its emergency braking, which reliably protects against a frontal collision with anything.
IN standard equipment Not all equipment is included, which I would like to know for sure, as you can see in the test drive video, some are installed for an additional fee.
Specifications.
Concerning technical features Nissan Murano 2015, then, as the manufacturers stated, nothing particularly new was invented. Verified gasoline unit the previous model was modernized, strengthened and adapted to new car. As a result, we got enough powerful crossover, which passed the test drive with dignity . All videos are easy to find on the Internet.

For those who do not like this brand, we recommend watching the video of the model being tested, and perhaps you will reconsider your opinion.
Among the shortcomings, we note that it is too complicated appearance. Many experts are afraid that this seemingly insignificant detail could significantly reduce the popularity of a car.
