The all-new Murano retains the same basic shape as the old model, but the sheetmetal has been totally redesigned. The grille is more prominent than before, and 20-inch wheels are now available. The cockpit has also been entirely rethought. The 3.5-liter V6 is still on duty in the Murano and develops 265 horsepower. All-wheel drive is now standard on all models.
The EX35 arrives in the form of a 5-door crossover, powered by the venerable 3.5-liter V6 that, in this application, produces 297 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel drive is standard. With its numerous options groups, a sunroof, 18-inch wheels, xenon headlights, an upgraded sound system with hard drive as well as a navigation system can all be chosen.
