New Generation Review Nissan Murano
The first generation of Nissan Murano, a model, originally intended for the American market, has become a global hit. The new Murano offers sophisticated motorists advanced design and characteristics. Dragonfly and ant
We all since childhood is familiar with this fable. But only recently I learned that it turns out, she has several versions of the junction. In some countries, for example, such: you sang everything? This case! So go, babes! It would seem that the ant and so very cold treats the plots of dragonfly, but in some situation even worse: the ruthless ant simply eats an exhaust dragonfly. And only in Japan, the bass ends more or less happily: the ant regretted the unfortunate, pricked and heated. Since the main reader's audience is children, the Japanese gave the ending a humanitarian confusion hue. K What am I doing all this? In my opinion, the new Nissan Murano very much resembles Esopovskaya dragonfly.
No, do not think, I do not want to declare any disabling Murano. On the contrary, I think that in our age credit tsunami, which happens once in the century (so said the American economist Alan Greenspan), we like the air is needed a new model. Moreover, such a model that would bring us songs, supremacy every hour, so what turned head. I fully and completely want to support manufacturers of Murano and those lucky ones who will sit behind his steering wheel.
Continuing tradition?
The creators of the second generation of Nissan Murano, released on the Japanese market on September 29, 2008, had to be very sweat over his design. Indeed, it is due to the originality of the last model of the first generation, which appeared in the US market in 2002, was able to boast of sales in 60-80 thousand units per year. After such success, Nissan lined up the queue from countries wishing to let Murano into their domestic markets, which led to the sale of 500 thousand units in 80 states! In Japan, Murano came in 2004.
Before the second generation, Murano stood a difficult task: a new car was to repeat the glorious endeavors of the predecessor, far from being leaving the sources, and at the same time not to be old-fashioned, keep up with the times. I believe that the designers have laid out all the hundred. They very carefully finalized everyone who was loved by the car, giving it modern, gloss and prestige, as well as a bit of aggressiveness. The resulting model has every chance immediately and loudly declare yourself!
Murano, Dualis (Analog Qashqai), X-Trail, Infiniti FX and EX (Two Last Crossovers, By the way, Japanese consumers did not wait in the domestic market) Nissan no equal in the development of inclined cars. Bright dragonfly models like Murano, involuntarily attract the attention of the consumer, already confused by constant conversations about the environmental friendliness and efficiency of cars.
When I got behind the wheel of a new Murano, I was twisted with nostalgic memories about how I met his predecessor. At that time, the generous use of pure aluminum as a material for the interior was in the wonder. Of course, the interior of the second generation model, in the main features, a copy of the first, no longer causes such strong surprise, but it is worth noting that all materials (plastic and tissue parts of the cabin) have exceptionally pleasant colors and textures. Not really winter, but such a luxurious version!
Main weapon Murano is still design, and on this discipline of the new model you can put a solid five. It should not be noted that on the running qualities the second generation is ahead of the predecessor.
Murano is popular among motorists Two versions of the new Murano will be presented in the Japanese market: with a 3.5-liter 6-cylinder engine with a V-shaped cylinder arrangement and a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with vertically-rigorization of cylinders. Both are all-wheel drive equipped with a CVT variator. I did not happen to experience the car on the off-road, but the presence of an improved system of permanent full drive ALL MODE 4x4, first applied to the Nissan X-Trail model, speaks for itself.
When choosing from two engines of different volumes, the will of unilles look at the economical smaller volume. But, it seems to me that the V-shaped version corresponds to the general concept of the model and gives it significance on the roads.
We have to admit that the 4-cylinder engine gives the car a docile and smooth, but I purely subjectively vote for huge torque and a confident, relaxed manner of a running sixes. The general feature of both versions to complain about a noisy engine when driving in an urban setting is not necessary.
The new use of Murano noise absorbing material is increased by 30% compared to the first generation. The fact is that in America, Murano is very popular among the fair sex, which drew the attention of the creators at too great engine noises. To correct this deficiency, Nissan designers have provided sound insulation even in the rear wheel housing body arcs. This is the only example among SUV category vehicles. And make sure the effect can be, sitting in Murano Salon is unlikely you will hear background noise.
Luxury high-end luxury Murano Bright appearance, comfort, fantastic handling, pleasant ambience salon all connected in one car! While the wheelbase remains unchanged, the space in front of the rear seat has increased by 20 mm, and the free space there is enough to comfortably accommodate.
In general, high-end luxury Murano! From a feature-rich model, it turns into a luxury model in all respects.
At the time of this writing (November 2008), the Nikkei index fell to 9000 yen. In times of crisis it is very common for a person to lie low, lie low in anticipation of better times. Not for me to decide whether it's right or not, but the life of this becomes interesting. It was at this time want to wear the most fashionable dress, sit behind the wheel of the Murano, to include the entire volume of the lively music and get away from everyday life, our environment How do you such an idea?
