The 2009 Nissan Murano is part of the second generation that debuted in 2009 with a fresh exterior, interior, and technology updates. It houses a single engine option, a 3.5-liter V6 that delivers 265 horsepower paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with standard Front-wheel Drive and available All-Wheel Drive. The Murano comes in three trims: S, SL, and LE. Each offers a decent array of standard features, with the SL and LE trims adding extras like a Bose premium stereo and leather upholstery. Safety features include ABS, stability control, and six airbags, and a rearview camera is available to aid in reversing. The Nissan Murano's strength lies in its ability to balance SUV capabilities with sedan-like comfort while offering a generously equipped cabin with a user-friendly optional navigation system.
