“The first-generation Nissan Murano had a profound impact on the SUV market when it was introduced in 2003. As a pioneer of the CUV trend, it offered forward-looking design sensibility that combined an elegant style with premium features – without a luxury price tag,” said Steve Rhind, director of marketing, Nissan Canada Inc. 
 


The revisions to the popular third-generation Murano’s exterior add a more pronounced front V-motion grille, redesigned LED headlights and taillights, new LED fog lights, new 18-inch and 20-inch aluminium-alloy wheel designs and two fresh new exterior colours – Sunset Drift and Deep Blue Pearl.

Enhancements to the luxurious Murano interior are led by new semi-aniline leather-appointed seats with diamond-quilted inserts and contrasting micro-piping trim for the seats and door armrests for the Murano Platinum grade. Other changes include three new interior trim finishers: Dark Wood-Tone (Platinum), Light Wood-Tone (S, SV, SL) and Metallic (S, SV, SL). In addition, all 2019 Murano models feature Nissan’s innovative Rear Door Alert and Intelligent Driver Alertness.

“From the very beginning, Murano has collected award after award for design, dependability, family friendliness, value and especially quality,” added Rhind. “The enhancements for the 2019 model year are designated for one purpose – to ensure Murano remains in a class all by itself.”

Safety, security and driver assistance technologies have also been revised for 2019 with Nissan Safety Shield 360 – a suite of six advanced active safety and driver-assist technologies designed to help provide 360 degrees of active driver assistance, crash avoidance and pedestrian detection.

Safety Shield 360 is a critical part of Nissan Intelligent Mobility, which provides technology in a way that moves people to a better world. Safety Shield 360 includes Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist and Rear Intelligent Emergency Braking.

The 2019 Murano also adds standard 2nd-row supplemental side airbags and front passenger supplemental knee airbag. Nissan’s innovative Rear Door Alert (RDA) system is also standard on all 2019 Murano grades.

“Nissan Safety Shield 360 is now available on five 2019 models. In addition to Murano, it will be offered on the 2019 Altima, Rogue, Qashqai and Maxima,” said Rhind. “Moving forward, Safety Shield 360 will be offered as standard equipment on one million new Nissan vehicles sold annually in North America by 2021.”

Every 2019 Murano comes equipped with a 260-horsepower 3.5-litre DOHC V6 connected to an advanced Xtronic transmission. Murano is available in front-wheel drive (S trim only) or Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.

Also standard on all grade levels is NissanConnect® featuring Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, with an 8.0-inch colour display with multi-touch control. Murano SL and above grades add standard NissanConnect with Navigation, which is revised for 2019 to include Door-to-Door navigation with 3D building graphics and satellite imagery, online POI search and premium traffic information.

The refreshed 2019 Nissan Murano will be offered in four well-equipped premium grade levels: S, SV, SL and Platinum. Click the TEST DRIVE Button below and be among the first to drive a 2019 Nissan Murano.
