What engine does the Murano use?

Nissan's new Murano is equipped with the QR25 engine model, delivering a maximum horsepower of 186 hp, a maximum power output of 137 KW at 6000 rpm, and a peak torque of 243 Nm. The Nissan new Murano is paired with an Infiniti engine. Infiniti, as an automotive brand itself, is a premium brand under Nissan and also manufactures engines. For the Nissan new Murano's engine, the following maintenance methods can be applied in daily use: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will degrade during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When engine oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, carrying contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've test-driven the Murano several times. It typically comes with a V6 3.5L gasoline engine, delivering strong power output around 250 to 290 horsepower, with quick acceleration and agile response. The new model has been upgraded to a 2.5L turbocharged engine, which is more fuel-efficient, reducing the combined fuel consumption to about 9L per 100km, making it very suitable for city driving. If you opt for the hybrid version, it comes with an electric motor assist, offering quieter starts and smooth acceleration, with good energy-saving and emission-reducing effects. Maintenance isn't too complicated, just regular oil changes, and the cost is at a moderate level. It's also great for long-distance travel, with stable engine performance that easily handles occasional hill climbs or overtaking without any issues.
I've been using the Murano for many years, equipped with a highly reliable 3.5L V6 engine that delivers strong starts and smooth acceleration. With ample horsepower, driving is effortless whether it's for school runs or highway cruising. Maintenance costs are reasonable—just a few dozen dollars monthly for oil changes and filters, with rare breakdowns. The newer turbocharged models offer even better fuel efficiency, around 8-10L per 100km, and a full tank ensures long-distance capability. As an owner, I recommend checking cold-start performance and the cooling system to ensure optimal operation in winter or summer heat. Overall, the Murano's engine is durable, cost-effective, and easy to maintain, often running trouble-free for a decade.
