2012 Nissan Murano

INTERIOR

Take on part design, one part atmosphere, two parts comfort and blend
When upscale surroundings combine perfectly with versatile amenities, the result is like no other. Aesthetically refined yet remarkably adaptable, Murano is the complete passage.

The sky’s the limit
With an available dual panel moonroof, there’s plenty of connection with the sun’s warmth. Press a button to close the power shades and create a private sanctuary. And when the sun goes down, ambient lights add a soft glow. 

It knows your every whim
For a grand entrance, the available driver’s memory system slides the driver’s seat rearward when you enter. Once inside, the seat, tilt/telescoping steering column and outside mirrors all glide into the ideal position. The system even remembers the settings for a second driver, and gives them the same personal treatment. 

Cares for you on a personal level
Like central air at home, the unique venting lets air flow more uniformly around the cabin. Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) keeps each front passenger individually comfortable – accurate to within a half a degree. Available heated steering wheel and front and rear heated seats surround you with warmth and welcome.

Versatility comes easy
Space and flexibility abound in this interior. A quick pull of two levers folds the 60/40- split second row flat, more than doubling your cargo space. Then, simply press a button and watch the available power-up seatbacks create first-class accommodations in a moment. 

An uplifting experience
The available power rear liftgate puts cavernous room fingertip-close, just another subtle luxury that separates Murano from any ordinary crossover. Accessible in a variety of ways – including the Nissan Intelligent Key® fob – you’re always assured of a grand opening.

REFINED DRIVING

Out with the old, in with the smooth
Modern good looks give way to a refined driving experience. The 3.5-L V6 delivers 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque to pull ahead of those who would be left behind. Great fuel economy of 24 mpg on the highway means you’ll be touring for up to 475 miles before needing a fill-up. Progressive thinking, bottom-line smart.

So long, conventional transmission. Smooth is here to stay
Intelligent CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) means virtually gearless shifting from now on. Seamless, instant acceleration from a transmission so advanced it tailors the engine’s output to suit how you’re driving right now. 

All-wheel drive. Instantly intuitive.
With the control and flexibility of intuitive AWD, your Murano reacts not just to changing conditions, but changing needs. It recognizes the difference between cruising and cornering, or dry and wet roads, and responds accordingly. For maximum traction at the start, higher efficiency once you’re traveling comfortable and extra grip in the corners.

TECHNOLOGY

Embrace the future. Start now.
With some of the most advanced technologies at your disposal, everything revolves around you. Start the engine by just the push of a button, with standard Push Button Ignition. Open the doors of the rear liftgate, all while the Nissan Intelligent Key® stays in your pocket. Modern magic, here for you now. 

Let Bluetooth® set you free
Free yourself with the available Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System. Take or make that call with just the touch of a button. View caller ID, even leave yourself a memo, all while keeping your hands on the wheel. 
 
A navigation system with all the answers
Move ahead with an available touch-screen hard-drive navigation system with voice-recognition capability. Beat the rush with XM NavTraffic® color-coded real-time traffic advisories. Find five million points of interest, plus Zagat Survey® ratings for nearby restaurants and a list of your favorites by cuisine, and once there, get a real-world perspective of downtown with 3-D Birdview™. And don’t forget real-time weather updates that help you prepare for anything from beach weather to blizzard. Every need – anticipated and met. 

Glimpse into the future with a RearView Monitor
What could be more convenient than seeing what’s directly behind you? Simply engage reverse and the available RearView Monitor is there to assist you. A discreet camera on the outside of your vehicle displays what’s behind you on your interior monitor. Now there’s no need to worry about parallel parking or backing up.

Premium entertainment, nearly unlimited
Your musical choices have never been smarter. Murano features an 11-speaker Bose® audio system and 170 channels of XM® Satellite Radio. 

iPod® integration. And innovation
Connect your MP3 player through the standard auxiliary audio input jack. Or, get direct connection with the all-new USB port. For a higher level of integration and control, the Interface System for iPod® lets you operate your iPod using the touch-screen and steering-wheel-mounted control, and displays menus right there on-screen.

The show is in the second row
Integrated into the backs of the head restraints, the accessory DVD monitors give rear-seat occupants entertainment right at eye level. Wireless headsets ensure full enjoyment for those watching the movie- and no interruptions for those who aren’t. 

SAFETY

Serious safety
Murano shows it’s designed with your safety in mind. For some of the credit, you can thank the Nissan Safety Shield – our comprehensive approach to safety. It includes the rigorous crash testing, over 50 standard safety features (including six standard air bags) and advanced technologies. 

The “best” accident is the one you’re able to avoid
Advanced safety systems are there to help you handle whatever lies around the next bend. Standard Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) with Traction Control System helps you stay on your steered path, while braking technologies like ABS, Brake Assist and Electronic Brake force Distribution help take you beyond “just stopping” and toward enhanced control and a greater feeling of confidence out on the road.

CROSSCABRIOLET

A premium experience that goes above and beyond
Murano CrossCabriolet’s standard premier features create an alluring environment for the senses. Heated front seats and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel are complemented by a sumptuous leather interior. The innovative Bose® Audio System knows when the top is up or down and adjusts the amplifier to fit the moment. Personalize your surroundings with the Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control system and always find the best route thanks to the available Nissan Navigation System with XM NavWeather® and XM NavTraffic®.

The Murano with a bold new perspective
Now a convertible that seats 4. Comfortably. The spacious leather interior offers enough room for four adults, with a surprising amount leg room in the back seat. The Murano CrossCabriolet’s streamlined windshield was designed specifically to reduce wind resistance and deflect wind and sound away from both the front and back seats, making for a quiet, comfortable ride for everyone.

Innovation at its best
We’ve rethought the convertible by rethinking the trunk. Murano CrossCabriolet’s top was cleverly designed to fold away without taking up valuable cargo space. With the top up or down, there’s still plenty of room for luggage, golf clubs and anything else you might need for a weekend away.

A convertible with all-season appeal
You’re all-season, all-weather convertible has arrived. When the temperature dips, a double-lined power soft top protects you from the elements while standard all-wheel drive helps keep you safely on course. Rear passengers enjoy ambient lighting through Murano CrossCabriolet’s unique skylight window. And no matter what the weather conditions, Murano CrossCabriolet offers a premium experience all year long.

Make a style statement
Personalize your Murano CrossCabriolet inside and out. Choose a striking exterior color and timeless double-stitched leather interior color and you’ve got a convertible that’s truly made for you. And a sleek double-lined soft top in beige or black is a premium touch on an unexpected convertible.
