Premium crossover at the price of a state employee
2019 Nissan Murano Hybrid Review
Crossovers are getting more and more popular. If in the 90s American premium SUVs of impressive size and tightly toned sedans from BMW and Mercedes-Benz were considered cool, now more and more are switching to luxury crossovers.
What properties does a car need to qualify for the premium level? Let's consider in more detail.
Reputable manufacturer. Yes, unfortunately, the stereotypes have not gone away, and few people will appreciate the premium Korean.
Powerful engine and automatic transmission. It is unlikely that someone will want to pull the gear knob. Here's a robot with the ability to manually shift gears – that's another matter, it's prestigious.
A variety of options, or initially rich equipment. I want to ride comfortably inside a beautiful cabin stuffed with electronics.
Good appearance. Of course, you can't please everyone, but the car must have its own recognizable style.
Today we will get acquainted with the 2019 Nissan Murano crossover, Hybrid, 2.5 liter, 254 horsepower, turbo engine
EXTERIOR Nissan Murano
The appearance of the 2019 Nissan Murano crossover leaves a pleasant impression, especially black optics and new body colors. The basic version received a solid roof, the remaining options are an electric sunroof or a panoramic roof. At the front, the Nissan Murani 2019 crossover stands out with new massive optics, with pronounced LED running lights and branded forked “eyelashes” at the top of the optics. Even more rigor and a modern look to the car gives the black background of the optics paired with a black V-shaped edging of the radiator grille. The side part is a wavy line-bend on the body, as well as on the side windows. Taken from the previous version: moldings, chrome parts and the design of the side mirrors.
The crossover received keyless access, and the side mirrors were equipped with electric adjustment, LED turn signal repeaters and automatic folding. The side section is accentuated by a new disc design. You can choose from black, silver, matte and black-gray wheels for 18″ or 20″.
ECONOMY OF A HYBRID INSTALLATION
Whenever you need to be at the forefront of the flow, the power of the 2.5L V6 engine. Nissan Murano will help you. And the low fuel consumption of 7-8 liters on the highway and 9.5-10.5 / 100 km in the city for the all-wheel drive version makes this car also practical.
CVT EFFICIENCY
Unlike traditional automatic transmissions, the Xtronic CVT continuously variable transmission makes gear selection obsolete. The gear ratios in it change smoothly, which means that at any time the engine can operate at optimal speeds: when accelerating you seem to be carried away by a wave of power, and when driving at a constant speed, the engine is quiet and economical.
UNDER SLEEPING CONTROL
As soon as you start moving, Nissan Murano's intuitive all-wheel drive system kicks in, sending torque to both axles for better traction. After accelerating, it makes no sense to drive all the wheels from the engine, and for greater economy, Murano sends power only to the front wheels. However, when there is insufficient road grip or, for example, when cornering, the all-wheel drive system redistributes part of the torque to the rear wheels. Because no matter how the road conditions change, you should always feel connected to the road.
CONTROL PRECISION
Nissan Murano is equipped with independent all-wheel suspension – this ensures precise control and a comfortable ride. New springs, dampers and stiffer stabilizers handle both cornering and bumpy roads with ease.
The power steering is sensitive to speed changes: at low speed the steering is light, and at high speed there is additional effort. Thanks to this, the ride becomes comfortable, smooth and efficient.
INTERIOR
Murano in the center catches the eye with a large 7″ display of the multimedia system (an 8″ display is optionally available). For greater convenience, a pair of air ducts was placed above the display, and control buttons, a tray for laser discs and a climate control panel around the perimeter of the display. Most of the control is transferred to the touch screen. At the junction with the console there is an engine Start / Stop button, two USB connectors of different generations, as well as a 12V socket.
The front seats have lateral support and power adjustment. The Murano driver's seat can be adjusted in 8 directions, the front passenger seat in 4. The driver's seat also has a memory for three settings.
The second row of seats in the Nissan Murano is designed for three passengers, the folding ratio is also the same 60/40.
The steering wheel of the crossover is sheathed in leather to match the color of the interior and is designed for 4 spokes. On the steering wheel control buttons with the ability to adjust the height and depth.
The standard set of the Nissan crossover includes 10 airbags around the perimeter of the cabin. There were side airbags for second-row passengers, as well as an airbag in the area of the knees of the front passenger.
