2017 Nissan Murano

Ever thought you got more than you paid for?  If it has been awhile and you are searching for a versatile five passenger midsized crossover SUV that has ample room for all your passengers.  Then do check out the 2017 Nissan Murano with the friendly folks at Fort Worth Nissan located at 3451 W. Loop 820 South in Fort Worth, Texas or by calling the dealership at 817-560-9000 and take your expectations for a spin. 

It is really a smart choice if you desire an upscale, V6 powered midsized crossover without the luxury brand price tag.  Even the base Murano S trim comes very well equipped with keyless entry and ignition, dual-zone climate control to keep your partner happy, rearview camera to save the neighbor kid's bike, Bluetooth connectivity and a USB port.  The reasonable priced navigation package adds traffic info, a larger screen and an additional USB port for the rear seat.  The Murano is well known for its family hauling duties, but what separates it from the pack of crossover SUV's is its exterior styling.

You will not miss where you parked your Murano.  It's very stylish “floating roof” and the “V-Motion” front end and the “Boomerang” lights that wrap into the fender make it easy to find.  Along with the curves that boast the Murano's   aerodynamics with the front and rear spoilers that set the stage, there isn't a square inch that isn't artfully folded and molded.  This Murano just hates going away unnoticed. 

When you slide into those wide and so comfy seats for that enjoyable test drive you will realize this is where Nissan engineers and designers also spent a lot of time and effort.  There isn't a straight line in view, with large sweeping attractive curves adorned in upscale materials.  Even the surfaces that you just know are hard appear to be soft. How did they do it?  As you settle yourself into the “Zero Gravity” seats, you just know this a great place to be.  There is gobs of room available especially for your rear passengers as the seats recline with a center armrest.  Behind the rear seats there are over 30 cubic feet of space for your stuff and flipping those seats over for your trips to the big box stores the area increases to over 65 cubic feet.  If parking is your problem, no problem, as the new Murano has the available Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection that employs cameras that give the driver a full 360-degree exterior view. 

It just gets better as what lives under the handsome hood lives a strong 3.5-liter V6 that delivers 260 lively horses.  It is mated with Nissan's Xtronic smooth shifting CVT with D-Step logic.  The Murano is available with either front wheel or all-wheel drive for those who desire more confidence behind the wheel.  On top of all that, this family hauler just rides and handles so graciously in a quiet and confident manner.  Nissan describes the Murano as a “Social Lounge” and that is right on target.  Go ahead and make the short drive to Fort Worth Nissan as now is no better time to check it out and find out why owners are saying their Nissan Murano is just as much fun to drive as it is to be seen in.
