First photos
The Japanese car maker, Nissan, is preparing an all new replacement for the very successful Murano crossover SUV. The Murano which has been on the market since 2003 in the United States and also in Europe since 2004.
These photos are showing for the first time a prototype of its successor, caught during secret testing in Southern Europe. It is a right hand drive car and was accompanied by the recently launched Nissan Qashqai. Despite the prototype’s disguise, one can recognize the new styling of the front engined SUV, which will again be available with front or four-wheel-drive.
Judging by the advanced stage of this test car, one can expect the new Murano’s launch by the end of next year.

Interesting, this is going to be under the Xtrail, which is the cheapest Nissan SUV they sell down here.
I wonder what powerplant the Murano will have, I have some Murano friends who have been itching to have something other than a detuned 3.5 L.

This has been discussed in various forums. The general concensus, which I happen to agree with, is that this is not the new Murano. Some have said that it could be a stretched Quasqui.

2009 Renault Koleos Spy Shots
A new crossover, touring Europe in disguise.
Renault/Nissan is preparing a new crossover for the Renault brand. These photos, initially identified as a Nissan Murano, which has been on the market since 2003 in the United States and in Europe since 2004, are in fact the production version of the Renault Koleos.
These photos show, for the first time, a prototype of its successor, caught during secret testing in Southern Europe. It is a right-hand drive car and was accompanied by the just-launched Nissan Qashqai. Despite the prototype's disguise one can recognize the new styling of the front-engined SUV, which will again be available with front- or all-wheel drive.
Judging by the advance stage of this test car one can expect the new Koleos will be launched by the end of next year.
Nissan and Renault continue to share more and more.
