2 WHEELS March 25 2010 Murano interior has an Infiniti-like appearance Continued from pg. 1 Inside, the Murano has what Nissan calls a "mobile suite" design theme with a sweeping instrument panel and wide console. The use of soft touch materials is evident throughout and the cabin has an upscale, Infiniti-like appearance. There are lots of storage spots and the gauges are easy to read with orange lighting in the instrument cluster. Nissan says the front seats offer enhanced support and from the short periods of time I spent there, I would agree. The 60/40 fold-flat rear seat has an available power return feature and heated seats are available front and rear. Power comes in the form of a 265 hp 3.5-litre DOHC V6 engine, mated with Nissan's Xtronic CVT (continuously variable transmission). In Canada, Nissan's intuitive allwheel drive system is standard.

The end result is a quiet, smooth ride yet without that floaty feeling you sometimes encounter when the suspension is too soft. The bigger the tire (it comes with 18 or 20-inchers depending on the model) will produce a firmer ride. Hard cornering produces some body roll, but we have to remember this is a crossover, not a sports sedan and in the segment of mid-size crossovers it is among the best handling and performing. The 265 hp engine is powerful enough to provide all the acceleration needed in most situations. For 2010, the Murano is available in See NISSAN pg. 3 The interior of the 2010 Nissan Murano has lots of soft-touch materials and wouldn't look out of place in the upscale Infiniti line. The system provides increased traction in all weather conditions by distributing torque where needed. Vehicle Dynamic Control, Nissan's version of stability control, and traction control are standard on all models. The Murano sits on Nissan's D platform, also used on the Altima and "You will be completely or satisfied with your sales service experience, or you can call me directly!"
