Usually showing updated versions all their models the largest producers timed to coincide with international automotive forums. So, 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 in dealer centers. Among other developments, a new one stood out for its extravagance Nissan Murano 3rd generation, almost beyond recognition changed 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.

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 in the next generation Murano with almost 100 percent 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 grille, as well as a powerful bumper with round fog lights, underlined from the bottom with 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. The rest before us classic crossover with a falling roof line, a massive stern, a small glazing area and a window sill line tending upwards, supplemented, however, at the end with an original bend.

The back of the Nissan Murano 2014-2015 is formed by harmoniously fitting into general concept boomerang lights with LED elements, a compact trunk lid, as well as a powerful bumper with a diffuser cover and built-in exhaust pipe nozzles.

The body of the new Murano not only looks stylish and modern, it also has an almost reference streamlining, which many sports cars can envy. According to engineers, the crossover has undergone three times longer tests in wind tunnel, which eventually led to a decrease in the drag coefficient to 0.31. The smooth lines of the body, as well as the presence of closing grille shutters, an aerodynamic skirt on the front bumper, rear diffuser and integrated into the door luggage compartment spoiler. 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 Nissan Murano 2014-2015, the one taken by the developers was continued. previous generation line 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 .

Classic three-dial dashboard in the new Murano, it gave 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. Wide Range adjustments in conjunction with the functions of heating and ventilation make them as comfortable as possible. rear seats no less comfortable and can accommodate three passengers of medium size 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.

The updated 3rd generation Nissan Murano will initially be sold with a single powertrain option - a 3.5-liter V6 petrol with 260 hp. The maximum torque of such a motor is 325 N * m. It will be paired with an Xtronic CVT. Thanks to the improved aerodynamic performance and weight reduction of the crossover, it was possible 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. The possibility of choosing between the front and all-wheel drive. Depending on the version, the crossover will be equipped with discs of the 18th or 20th radius.

Video Nissan Murano 2015

Video review of the new Nissan Murano already appeared on YouTube. The video, though English language, but in principle much is clear. We are waiting for a full video test drive Murano 2015 in Russian.

When the third generation Nissan Murano officially appears in Russia, this big question. Most likely, the fans of the model will bring the first copies privately, directly from the USA. In any case, thanks to Nissan designers for another breakthrough.

2015, which received a large number of positive feedback, has finally become available to domestic motorists. 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.

Appearance Nissan Murano 2015 , contrary to the expectations of the majority, has not found a "faceted" style, which 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 a V-shaped radiator grille with built-in automatic blinds. The optics have also been updated: the smooth shape of the boomerang and led lights give the appearance of the Nissan Murano 2015 a sense of unreality. By the way, it is thanks to the unusual forms this model sometimes referred to as an alien. Bumpers that protrude forward and cut through the air as you move only reinforce these sensations. If you watch a video in which the car is moving at an impressive speed, you get the impression of flying.

The dimensions have grown: the length is 4,910, the car reaches a width of 1,910 mm, and a height of 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. Weight, surprisingly, decreased by as much as 58 kg! And the standard equipment of the 2015 restyled Nissan 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 caught up with those of the Porsche 911 Turbo, belonging to the class sports cars. The air resistance coefficient of the novelty is 0.31Сх. Given that the test drive took place in different conditions and on different roads, the 2015 Nissan can be called an excellent urban crossover that does not “get lost” in poor-quality roads outside the city. Watching the video, it can be noted that even on the most sharp turns, the car keeps confidently.

Interior.

The interior of the new Nissan Murano is comfortable and spacious: great attention has been paid to the design of seats. Now both passengers and the driver of the Nissan car can enjoy a ride with minimal back strain. 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 the comfort of the trip. The shape of the steering wheel has changed - it has become anatomical, the upholstery is pleasant to the touch, 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 materials of a very high standard have been used for finishing the interior of the cabin.

The test drive of the 2015 Nissan Murano proved that the improved security system significantly reduced the workload on the driver. It is clear from the video that the blind spot monitoring system works perfectly - the driver is promptly notified of any object that is in the coverage area of the cameras. The test drive also showed that the PFCW system performed well thanks to the emergency braking function, which reliably protects against frontal collision with anything.

IN standard equipment not all equipment is included, which I would like to know for sure, as you can see on the test drive video, something is installed for an additional fee.

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 online.

The rear sofa is designed to comfortably accommodate three passengers of average build. The seatbacks are equipped with headrests and recline back if necessary, which allows passengers to relax on the road. The design of the seats is designed taking into account the anatomical features of an adult, due to which the load on the spine is reduced during the trip.

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) conducted a test drive of this model. He admitted that it best SUV on handling and behavior on the road, which he had to manage. What's the secret? But the fact is that this is actually not an SUV, but a stylized Nissan Teana. Clearance is achieved due to the large wheels that were put 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 under the floor, the trunk is not so 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 seat, the cabin is spacious, special problems No. 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 squeal of a small motor is not heard, they do not strain extra sounds engine. 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.
