Nissan Murano for Sale
An Overview of the Nissan Murano
Nissan introduced the sleek and sporty Murano in 2003. Named for the famous island of glass blowers near Venice, the Murano has always stood out in its vehicle class. Like most midsize SUVs, it gives you two rows of comfortable seats so that you can fit up to five adult passengers with plenty of legroom. In addition, the Murano is a front-wheel drive vehicle with available all-wheel drive for folks who want better traction, especially in inclement weather. However, the key to the Murano is its powerful V6 engine, which comes standard on all models.
The first generation Murano paired this V6 engine with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), making it one of the first models in its vehicle class to sport a CVT instead of a conventional automatic transmission. The key difference is that an automatic transmission uses gears, while a CVT uses a system involving a pair of pulleys and a belt. As a result, the CVT can have a smoother transition as you accelerate. This gives models with a CVT better overall fuel economy than ones with an automatic transmission.
By going with a CVT, Nissan signaled to the marketplace that the Murano would be on the cutting edge of technology. You can see this with the Xtronic CVT added to the Murano in time for the second generation, which premiered in 2009. This model also added a Brake Assist safety feature. More driver assistance features were added for the third generation Murano in 2015, including available Around View Monitor with four onboard cameras. This is part of the Nissan Safety Shield 360, which has grown into being one of the most comprehensive suites of advanced driver assistance features. The third generation also featured a new 8-inch screen for the NissanConnect infotainment system. This allows you to connect your smartphones using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to make hands-free calls and texts while streaming your favorite music.
Not only does Nissan provide a spacious passenger compartment on the Murano, but it also gives it a variety of comfortable upholstery options, making seating extremely comfortable. This is one midsize SUV that will work great on family road trips. This interior styling also goes hand-in-hand with the unique exterior styling of the Murano. In a sea of boxy, cookie-cutter midsize SUVs, the Murano has always stood out for its sleekness and unique exterior design.
Speaking of design, Nissan offered a special Murano model for four model years. From 2011 to 2014, drivers could choose a Murano CrossCabriolet. This midsize SUV convertible was one of the few models in its class that let you take the top down on sunny days. While it was discontinued with the start of the third-generation Murano, you can still find some of these available on the used market.
We Offer a Great Selection of New and Used Murano Models
The key to getting the right vehicle is choosing a dealership that has a large selection of the models you desire. This is certainly the case with the Murano. Each year, Nissan offers the Murano in a number of different trim levels, allowing you to choose the one with the features you like in a price range that matches your personal budget. In addition, you get to choose between the improved fuel economy of front-wheel drive and the added traction of all-wheel drive. At our Nissan dealership, we will take the time to go over each option you have on a new Murano, so you can choose one that has everything you want in a midsize SUV.
If you are looking for a very affordable way to buy your next Murano, you should consider our selection of used models. When you buy a used Murano, you will be able to pay less than a new Murano with a comparable trim level. As a result, you can save money or decide to move up to more features. The choice is yours. In addition, we make the transaction completely transparent. This is because every used model comes with an AutoCheck report. This will let you know about previous ownership of the car, whether it was ever involved in a collision, and other crucial information. In this way, you will know everything you need to know about the used Murano you are considering so you can make the right decision.
Have Questions About Financing? We Have the Answers
If you are like most drivers, you probably appreciate the financial flexibility you can get when you finance your next vehicle. If you are considering a loan or lease for your next new or used Murano, our finance team will be able to answer all of your questions, and help walk you through the process.
It is important to understand the difference between a loan and a lease. With a loan, you will end up owning the vehicle in full once you have made all of your payments. In a lease, you will hold the Murano for a set number of months. Also, a loan has unlimited mileage, while the mileage is limited when you lease a vehicle. Our finance team member will help explain this to you so you can decide whether a lease or loan works best for your budget.
You can even start the finance process before you arrive. Our online finance application is available on our website so you can get an idea of the amount you can spend on your next Murano. We even have a payment calculator, which lets you see how much your monthly payment will be. This will help you fit your lease or loan payments into your personal budget.
