POWERFUL AND REFINED
Experience the exhilarating power of Murano's 3.5L V6 engine or 2.5L QR engine. An extensively re-engineered intelligent Xtronic CVT gearbox (Continuously Variable Transmission) means virtually gearless shifting - offering only seamless, instant acceleration. The result is an incredibly smooth ride without the shift shock even on an incline. Sleek and powerful, its exhilaration, unlimited. Certainly one of the smoothest of its breed.
VQ35DE ENGINE
The fully re-engineered 3.5L VQ35DE engine provides quick response, smooth acceleration and an abundance of torque and power. New intake systems and a six point engine mounting also help to minimize noise. The VQ engine has won the "Ten Best Engines Award" presented by the US automotive journal Ward's Auto World for the fourteenth consecutive years (1995 - 2008).
QR25DE ENGINE
The 2.5L QR25DE engine achieves an improved output and fuel efficiency through reduced friction.
XTRONIC CVT
The Xtronic CVT delivers faster processing speed, reduced friction, wider gear ratios and enhanced fuel economy. The Xtronic CVT with Adaptive Shift Control (ASC) logic is able to offer the best shift pattern for naturally precise shifting according to running environment and driver's input. It can recognize more than 700 driving patterns. The Murano 3.5L Xtronic CVT comes with a 6-speed manual mode.
ALL MODE 4x4-I
Enjoy an exceptional driving experience with the advanced 4WD system, ALL MODE 4x4-I (Yaw Moment Controller); that is able to distribute the drive power to the rear wheels even during cornering. It traces the intended driving line impeccably without the slightest deviation and provides an enjoyable handling experience that has a sharp contrast with the traditional SUV.
SUSPENSION
Enjoy carefree, excellent stability unaffected by any road conditions for an especially smooth ride. Both front strut and multi-link rear suspension are specially developed for Murano. Its shock absorbers are optimized in the most efficient position. Rebound springs are embedded in all front and rear parts to remove instability in the car body.
NEW PLATFORM
Murano features a new D-Platform with high body rigidity that provides a quiet and comfortable ride. The increased use of industrial strength steel plates and the adoption of new structures allow a ride similar to a sports car and comfort akin to a luxury car to be possible at the same time.
