Shopping for a mid-size crossover, but want something a little less utilitarian and something more luxurious? If so, consider test driving a 2017 Nissan Murano SV. This preowned option offers an ideal balance between function and indulgence, boasting a nicely-equipped exterior and cabin, along with ample cargo room for all of life’s travels.
Â
The 2017 Murano starts strong with a 3.5-liter V6 engine under the hood, which generates 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a continuously variable transmission, it achieves 24 mpg combined (21 mpg city/28 mpg highway), which are great numbers for a vehicle of this size. What’s more, the crossover can pull upwards of 1,500 lbs, thus adding to its capability.
Â
On the exterior, the SV trim sparkles with 18-inch alloy wheels and foglights, plus it comes equipped with roof rails, which can carry extra luggage in a pinch. Although, with 32.1 cubic feet of storage with all seats in place, you shouldn’t feel too squeezed. Inside the cabin, lush surfaces abound, including a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear shifter for added comfort. For your convenience, the Murano is also equipped with remote engine start, heated seats and mirrors, and a 360-degree parking camera system. As you cruise through Renton, Kirkland and Auburn, you’ll love the premium sound that is conducted from the 11-speaker Bose audio system.
