Nissan may be a Japanese brand but the Murano is massively appreciated throughout North America for its commitment to value. There isn’t much this mid-size crossover doesn’t offer, although an obvious focus has been placed on sterling safety and exceptional performance with the 2017 SL model. Let’s move past the broad strokes and dig into the details below, shall we?
You’re going to experience great peace of mind when within this crossover. The technologies on display ensure that—for example, daytime running lights operate automatically throughout all conditions, while the side mirrors sport integrated turn signals to make it easier for other motorists to anticipate your next move. Additionally, traction control and electronic stability combine to sense road conditions in real-time, selectively braking on a per-tire basis to compensate accordingly.
Speed and overall spiritedness have not been abandoned in the name of safety, however. The 2017 Murano SL benefits from a powerful 3.5L V6 motor that generates 260 horses and 240-lb.-ft. of torque. You’ll be roaring down the streets of Seattle, Renton, and Bellevue in no time! And the EPA-estimated average highway MPG of 28 is a boon, as well.
