Discontent is brewing. In the backseat your children plan a mutiny - finally banning together to complain about a lack of space, joining all of their considerable forces to release one penetrating shriek. You wince behind the wheel, feeling your ear-drum shake. Another blow like that will surely cause it to burst. It’s time to concede defeat… and find a much larger cabin.

Nissan recommends its 2018 Murano SL.



According to Car and Driver, the new Murano delivers a spacious cabin - with its 111.2-inch wheelbase promising ample room for every family. Slip inside its five-passenger configuration and discover true comfort:

First Row Dimensions

Head Room: 39.9 inches.
Shoulder Room: 59.5 inches.
Leg Room: 40.5 inches.

Second Row Dimensions

Head Room: 39.8 inches.
Shoulder Room: 58.8 inches.
Leg Room: 38.7 inches.

The SL’s interior boasts 55.7 cu.-ft of passenger volume in the front and 52.4 cu.-ft in the rear, respectively. This ensures that all riders can sprawl through the miles, indulging in the leather-appointed seats and integrated power lumbar support. There will be no more wars for space in Seattle.

Winter often cripples the automotive market - with sales falling and interest waning. Drivers don’t wish to face the cold, trading dealerships for goose-down experiences. They choose to hibernate through every incentive.

The 2018 Murano has proven to be an exception to the seasonal rule, however. Nissan’s venerable crossover has achieved record-breaking sales - with February delivering a staggering 11% year-to-year increase.



According to Nissan, the new Murano dominates the charts. In February it secured 6,179 total units (compared to 2017’s 5,569). This allowed it to push past its competitors and the brand’s own top contenders, surpassing both the Titan and the Armada.

How did Nissan achieve such strong winter sales? The Kirkland team believes the answer lies beneath the Murano’s hood - with this crossover delivering a potent 3.5L DOHC V6 engine. Its high red-line (6,000 RPM) ensures all-terrain performance, yielding 260 HP and 246 lb.-ft of torque; while its available AWD maximizes every rev, combining an XTronic transmission with a multi-link strut suspension. These features work in tandem to create a smooth ride, enabling the platform to roar from 0 to 60 in just seven seconds.

The 2018 Murano has conquered both the snow and the sales charts - making it a true Seattle contender. To learn more about this and other Nissan crossovers contact our team today.
The frustration is all too familiar. You glare at your phone, trying to frighten its battery back to an acceptable level. It remains impervious to your threats, however, and drops yet another percentage point - leaving you with no source of entertainment for the long drive home. Silence will be your companion for this commute.

Don’t panic: Nissan has a solution for this connectivity problem. Take advantage of the 2018 Murano’s extensive digital suite!



As Nissan recently explained, the 2018 Murano is primed for every mile - utilizing a series of tech options to keep drivers engaged. An eight-inch touchscreen frames the center console, allowing for easy access to the SiriusXM satellite radio and TraveLink system (which provides real-time movie listings, sports scores, and other customizable content). USB ports offer effortless iPod integration, while wireless Bluetooth links allow users to sync their tablets. Utilize the voice-activated controls to send text messages or read social feeds; shake the cabin with the available BOSE stereo; and sample songs from your favorite artists via the single-CD player.

To ensure seamless connectivity, the 2018 Murano also boasts Apple CarPlay and Android Auto software - enabling drivers to interact with the smartphones (when the battery is charged, of course).

A second seems so innocuous - and yet its short span is enough to send your car sliding off the pavement, with all traction lost on a too-sharp curve. That little moment becomes terrifyingly long and, even after it ends, the panic lingers.

Nissan wishes to spare you this feeling - which is why it’s bolstered the 2018 Murano with an intuitive safety suite. These technologies will ensure improved responses on the highway, and they’ll help to counter the fear of a sudden crash.



As a recent Nissan press release explains, the 2018 Murano is tailored for accident prevention. Four cameras line the front and rear, utilizing radar scanners to detect approaching obstacles (this information is then relayed in real-time to a seven-inch LCD screen to ensure drivers maintain 360-degree views of their environments). Intelligent Cruise Control promotes highway-regulated speeds, while Automatic Emergency Braking engages when a potential crash is sensed. Rear Cross Traffic Alerts constantly monitor the lanes, and Blind Spot Warnings help to negate sudden collisions.

Nissan has also fused the 2018 Murano with its signature Around View system. This utilizes a series of audio and visual cues to alert drivers to approaching impediments while reversing. It proves crucial in crowded downtown garages and allows for smooth parking.

With the release of the 2018 Murano, Nissan provides drivers with the security they deserve - and it enables them to avoid those all too dangerous seconds. To learn more contact us today.

The Midnight Edition variants of select Nissan vehicles has proven immensely popular to aficionados in Seattle as well as nationwide. And now, after selling roughly 50,000 such models in 2017 alone, the Japanese manufacturer announced this week that they’re expanding the lineup for 2018.

Those looking for some serious style will not be displeased. Nissan has revealed that Midnight Edition offerings will now extend to a total of nine 2018 vehicles. These include the Murano, Maxima, Pathfinder, TITAN, TITAN XD, Sentra, Rogue, Frontier, and Altima.



Pricing for each package ranges from just $495 for the Sentra S to only $1,395 for the Pathfinder SL. Full details for each vehicle can be found here, but it’s critical to note that the cost for each represents an average of a 45-percent discount versus buying all the parts and enhancements separately. And boy, is there a lot to love here—common inclusions include stealthy side mirrors, darkened roof rails, gloss black “V-Motion” grilles, incredible 20-inch shadow aluminum alloy wheels, and much more.

If you’re looking to outfit your next ride with a killer looking Midnight Edition package, don’t hesitate to call us at Kirkland Nissan to discuss getting your hands on one!
