2011 Nissan Murano


All versions of the 2011 Muranos will feature the VQ-series 3.5-liter DOHC V6, which is rated at 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque.  The well-regarded engine is mated to an Xtronic CVT, and depending upon model is offered in either front-drive or all-wheel-drive configuration.

2011 Nissan Murano's exterior is an altered front end that has already debuted in other parts of the world and is finally making its way to the U.S. Nissan is going for what it calls a "modern art" feel and look. The front fascia features a new grille, more pronounced lines on the lower bumper cover, and redesigned foglight housings. The Murano's signature chromed vertical grille bars are reduced in number and the net effect is a more defined nose that might earn a second look from the local valet.

There is also a new SV trim level slotting above the base S configuration, making the Murano’s trim hierarchy S, SV, SL, and LE. The SV model includes touches like power lumbar on the driver’s seat, a backup camera with seven-inch LCD screen, and iPod and Bluetooth connectivity. An auto-dimming mirror, heated steering wheel, and nine-speaker Bose sound system join the SL model’s standard-equipment list; the Murano LE scores new interior wood accents.

Nissan has added equipment to the various trim levels, including new audio and entertainment gear. Notably, SV and SL models pick up Bluetooth and iPod connectivity as standard equipment. The SL also gets Bose audio as standard.

Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA) today released information and photography of the new, refined 2011 Nissan Murano, which is set to go on sale at Nissan dealers nationwide in mid-October. The second generation Nissan Murano, introduced just two years ago, now offers a refreshed grille and bumper design, new taillights, a new 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheel design and a number of interior and content refinements – all intended to keep Murano's visually distinctive styling fresh and exciting.

Also for 2011, two new models have been added to the lineup, SV FWD and SV AWD, for a total of eight models, providing Murano buyers with the widest range ever of equipment and features to match their exact needs and budgets. Other changes include the addition of one new exterior color, Graphite Blue, and a new wood grain hue on Murano LE models.

All 2011 Muranos feature a standard VQ-series 3.5-liter DOHC V6 rated at 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque on regular unleaded gasoline, and an advanced Xtronic CVT™ that provides a sporty and smooth driving experience. Murano is available in front-wheel drive or with an Intuitive All-Wheel Drive system, and all Muranos come with Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) and Traction Control System (TCS) standard. Murano is built on Nissan's proven "D" platform, which provides a solid foundation and lightweight suspension components, dual flow path shock absorbers and a twin-orifice speed-sensitive power steering system.

The most striking visual element of the 2011 Murano is once again its dramatic body, which imparts a "modern art" feel while still maintaining its distinctive "Murano-ness." The front end features a bold grille with new, revised design and wide front headlights, a wide hood that sweeps into the bodylines, powerful wheel arches and an aggressive stance with available 20-inch wheels. Murano's rear end features a unique rear glass shape, integrated rear roof spoiler, large redesigned rear LED taillights and dual exhaust outlets with chrome finishers.

Murano is also offered with an available dual panel power sliding glass moonroof with 2nd row skylight, adding to its open, airy interior feeling.

Interior enhancements for 2011 include a new white meter color, new center stack colors and added equipment to various trim levels – driver's seat with power lumbar support (SV), RearView Monitor (SV), 7.0-inch color monitor (SV), auto dimming rearview mirror with compass and HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (SL) and heated steering wheel (SL).
