The 2003 Nissan Murano is a midsize crossover from Nissan's lineup. This generation launched the distinctive Murano nameplate. The Murano spotlights a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 245 horsepower mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) adding to its smooth performance. Front-wheel drive is standard, but an all-wheel-drive system is available as an option for better traction. There are three trim levels: base SL, luxury SE, and top-tier touring SE which boast features like intelligent key, dual panel sunroof, and adjustable pedals. Notable safety features include front side airbags, side curtain-type airbags, and anti-lock brakes. The Murano is appreciated for its sporty performance, spacious and high-quality interior, and bold styling.
