Test Drive Nissan Murano since 2010 SUV

Nissan Murano: Early write Murano!

The driving force for the new Murano in Russia is offered only one 3.5 liter V6, outstanding 249 horses and 336 nm of torque.

To be the world in 2003, Nissan Murano of the first generation blew up a public consciousness, only a cross-separator disease. He was beautiful and unusual. His charismatic appearance and very decent tacticotechnical characteristics did not leave the chances of doubting. Yes Yes Yes! We buy this car! - Challenged the clients of the showrooms of Nissan.

But the Russian market for which the fate of the third world country was prepared. And the official deliveries of Murano started only after a couple of years in 2005. For the company Nissan - an annoying omission, for gray dealers bread with butter for many years. Sales of illegal cars grew in geometric progression. And with the beginning of honest deliveries did not think to decline.

And here in 2009, with a traditional delay in one year (compared with the American market), to the Russian shopping platforms of the company Nissan, the second generation Murano reached. And at this point the general market of crossovers has already resembled the metro car per hour-peak. Definitely it was necessary to have something more fresher and attractive. Let's try to figure out whether the updated Murano will be able to keep the leadership in the classroom.

Unification Remember this word, it will take red thread through the entire subsequent text. And it is not abusive. In this case, the position of the company Nissan personally I am deeply nice. Having created a completely new model from existing successful solutions, designers, engineers and marketers decided very many delicate issues related to the output of an updated car to the market.

A new face, in my opinion, has lost specifics of the preceding body in his frontal part, was more convincing and is clear to others. The new ones with the newest-fashionable lattice of the radiator and optics, creating a slightly mesh impression. But contacting the views of the side and rear of the car, it becomes easier to perceive this space shuttle. First of all, some features of the new Murano are inherited from the previous generation, and secondly unification. With younger, but no less successful brother Qashqai.

By the way, the overall dimensions of the updated body remained practically the same: the car became longer by 64 mm, added due to the bumpers of the new design, but the wheelbase, width and height remained the same.

From external delights, we turn to the next part of the unification (hereinafter referred to as the salon. Without unnecessary, tightened explanations, I tell you that almost all interior decoration moved from the cozy VIP rooms of the fellow. There are elements from the TEANA business sedan and even a sufficient number of moments of more adult relatives Infiniti. But can you blame Nissan designers in this y? Of course not, the successful use of already rolled ergonomic solutions is served for recruitment. Seriously grown in the interior, including the interactive system with Touch Screen, navigation and many to many others, had to fit higher-quality and energy-intensive materials, creating in a tandem with excellent insulation truly chamber atmosphere in the cabin, in which the happy owner of the new Murano does not disturb the outsider Noise from the street, and your own noises from the nodes and the engine.

And the driving force for the new Murano in Russia is offered only one 3.5 liter V6, outstanding 249 horses and 336 nm of torque. And this is again: the engine, a long-time acquaintance on other models, but a slightly modified, who fluttered a little weight and becoming more technologically. And really, for what to invent a bicycle? Optimal volume, sufficient power supply and good elasticity indicators. This is what this stylish city guy needs. Transmit power from the engine Wheels is called up by the latest generation variator CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), which has a code name Xtronic. The Holy Union of the engine and the variator delivers the owner a lot of pleasure smooth, uniform overclocking.

But in general, the concept of the crossover is the biggest: Parquarters must be able to quickly and comfortably move around asphalt, as well as storming light off-road.

Murano as a all-wheel drive car on this score has ambitions. Armed with electronic blocking of differential, he is ready to rush into battle with the element. But do not hurry to plunge into the conquest of hills and bumps smaller. The suspension is perfect for everyday urban use of the suspension has a relatively small reserve of shock absorbers and, with a deterioration of road conditions, you will remind you of tangible breakdowns.

And in conclusion I would like to tie together all the strings, of which the new Murano sweat, and determine his appointment. Updated Murano car for life, which has everything necessary for more than comfortable everyday use, which is worth the amount of money that is asked for him in the salons. And the cost of this model begins with 1 809,000 rubles and rests on the ceiling at a mark of 1,889,000 rubles for the top execution.

I assume that the troubles of crisis will pass, and the second wave of Muranjania will overlap the market.
