SUV drivers are historically not very concerned with power. Sure, utility is usually important; comfort and style come in a close second and third... But performance? Not usually top of the list. Well, for those of you who believe that agility and force are must-haves for any crossover to truly possess the full package, the 2018 Nissan Murano is the vehicle for you.
It all starts with the Murano’s 3.5-L V6. Able to rev up to 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque, this engine can do more than just take you from point A to point B (like trailer up to 1,500 lbs, for instance). With class-exclusive, next-generation CVT technology, this shiftless transmission system can give you the perfect amount of force and hold you there. Goodbye gear hunting!
When it comes to handling, the 2018 Murano provides the perfect amount of precision exactly whenever and wherever you need it most. With intelligent AWD technology, power is sent to each axle independently depending on conditions. Climbing a steep and uneven grade? All wheels kick in simultaneously to help carry you up. Up to speed and on the highway? The system sends power to the front only to increase fuel economy.
