Moreover, most of the adjustments are equipped with electric drives and memory for two combinations. Passengers of the second row are truly at ease and comfortable when their two spaces allow you to throw one leg over the other, and the backrests are adjustable in tilt.

The choice of engines is limited to a single V6 (3.5 liters, 245 hp, 350 Nm), paired with a V-belt variator. The variator is a mechanical continuously variable transmission. It is used to smoothly change the speed of the driven shaft. But the peculiarity of the Nissan Murano is that a powerful 245 hp engine is combined with the CVT, this is the first car with such power, which was tamed by the CVT.

The power unit is located transversely and even in full driveAt the bottom of the car modification, the front wheels remain the main drive wheels - there is no center differential, and an electronically controlled clutch is installed instead, which connects the rear wheels when the front wheels slip. For off-road use, the second 4x4 mode is intended: a rigid connection of the drive of both axles, which automatically returns to the first mode, as soon as the speed exceeds 30 km / h.

As for the high cross-country ability, Murano does not pretend to it, although it is possible to note such off-road advantages as short overhangs, blockingOvka distribution of torque between the axles and the lowering register of the "machine". The ground clearance is only 178 mm - it speaks best of the urban destination of Murano. This is evidenced by the low-located transmission oil cooler, covered from dirt only by a thin flap.

The debut of the Russian version of the second generation Nissan Murano crossover took place in February 2009. Wishing to preserve and increase the number of loyal Murano fans, the manufacturers did not radically change the model. It was simply improved. The exterior has become even sportier and more muscular. The overall proportions of the crossover have remained almost unchanged, but the front and rear have been noticeably updated. The headlights have practically merged with the radiator grille, and at the rear, instead of vertical lights, they are now horizontal. Due to these changes, the Nissan Murano seeog lengthen by several centimeters without increasing the wheelbase. In addition, the crossover has grown a little.

The salon is still spacious, there is more than enough space in both rows. All materials used in the interior decoration are expensive and of high quality, and the colors and textures are pleasing to the eye and to the touch. Overall, the design is richer and more luxurious than the previous model. Expensive leather upholstery in black or beige with double stitching, aluminum inserts, pleasantly redesigned center console and dashboard with buttonscontrols on the ribs of cylindrical devices, soft variable illumination fully correspond to the ideas of the comfort of a business class car. The glass and mirror controls have moved to the very top of the door and are right at your fingertips. True, in this case, I had to sacrifice the seat memory buttons, which have shifted almost to the very bottom of the door. The soundproofing of the cabin has been improved.

In the basic configuration, the Murano II is equipped with an Intelligent Key system for keyless entry into the car with an engine start button, remote controlrear seats, reversing camera with night mode, premium audio system, Bluetooth hands-free and satellite navigation system with 7-inch color touchscreen. In more expensive trim levels, an electric tailgate is available, as well as a DVD player with an overhead monitor for rear seat passengers.

Famous from the first generation Murano, the 3.5-liter engine has been updated and increased power to 249 hp. (265 hp in the American version). The Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) has been updated even more significantly. Revchanges in the pressure control system and the introduction of a new microprocessor that controls the gear change process of the Xtronic CVT stepless variator, have significantly optimized the shift process, making it smoother and faster. The fact that serious work has been done on the motor-variator ligament can be convinced by the fuel consumption, which, according to the passport, does not exceed 15 liters. All Mode 4x4-i intelligent all-wheel drive system with electromagnetic clutch provides the ability to transfer up to 50% of the torque to the rear wheelsa. At the same time, at speeds up to 80 km / h, All Mode 4x4-i works proactively, foreseeing the possibility of slipping of the front wheels, based on the position of the throttle valve and torque, and transmitting torque to the rear axle, without waiting for the situation when the wheels begin to lose road grip. At speeds above 80 km / h, the system already works without anticipation, reacting only to actual wheel slip.

The suspension has become noticeably quieter and more comfortable. Crossover copes with road bumpsogs are better than their predecessor. The Murano II was built on the same D-class platform as the Teana. Additional transverse ribs made it possible to immediately increase the torsional rigidity of the platform by 45%. In general, this has a very good effect on the handling and stability of the car. But the soft suspension now allows for deeper roll in corners.

The body of the new Murano has a special highly elastic polymer coating Scratch Shield, which restores the paint surface after light scratches: when the body covered with such paint heats up on alint, small scratches heal. The coating is applied to seven available body colors.

The Nissan Murano II is in many ways superior to its first generation. A more striking appearance and rich equipment have brought it close to the class of luxury crossovers.
