Nissan Murano

The Nissan Murano is a mid-size crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by Nissan since May 2002 for the 2003 model year. It was Nissan's first crossover SUV for the United States and Canada, designed at Nissan America in La Jolla, California on the FF-L platform it shared with the third generation Altima, and it was the company's only crossover in the United States until the Rogue arrived in 2007. The first generation was powered by the 3.5 litre VQ35DE V6, with a 2.5 litre four-cylinder offered in Japan, where the Murano went on sale in September 2004. A diesel four-cylinder was added in Europe in 2010, the CrossCabriolet convertible ran from the 2011 to 2014 model years, and the third generation Z52 was unveiled in April 2014 with a 260 horsepower V6.
