What is the MURANO?
1 Answers
MURANO is the official name of the Nissan Murano. Murano is a small island in Italy, renowned for its handcrafted glass products, while Loulan refers to an ancient kingdom along the Silk Road. Although these two places share no direct connection, they respectively represent beautiful legends of the East and the West. The first-generation Murano was launched in the U.S. market in 2002. In 2011, the second-generation Murano was introduced to the domestic market and produced/sold by Dongfeng Nissan. Below is an introduction to the MURANO: 1. The Nissan Murano is Nissan's first large crossover SUV, with dimensions of 4860mm/1885mm/1730mm (length/width/height) and a wheelbase of 2825mm. In terms of exterior design, the Nissan Murano retains the stylish and dynamic appearance of its predecessor but completely revolutionizes the design of the front and rear ends. Its fashion and luxury elements are no less impressive than those of Nissan's premium Infiniti brand models. The Murano is derived from the same new sedan-oriented D platform as the Nissan Teana, making it more urban-oriented as an SUV. 2. In terms of powertrain, the Murano is equipped with a 3.5L V6 engine from the VQ series, delivering a maximum power output of 260 horsepower and a peak torque of 325Nm, paired with a CVT transmission. This powertrain is identical to that of the top-tier Teana model. A 2.5L variant is also expected to be introduced in the future.
