Looks much nicer than the last one. I never was a fan of either the interior or exterior styling of the last ones...and the interiors on the early ones, right in the middle of Nissan's famous Age of Cost-Cutting with Carlos Ghosn at the helm, were C-H-E-A-P.

Anyhow, the copper color is also nice. That color is a Nissan classic...and made especially popular on the original 350Z.

The Murano is striking. I do think I much prefer the polarizing looks of the NX better but this isn't bad.

It Probably Won't Happen, But Here's the 2015 Nissan Murano in Rendered Cabriolet Guise


You still have plenty of time to buy the most bizarre convertible currently offered for sale in the U.S. right now – the $41,995 (MSRP) Murano CrossCabriolet, and somehow, we don't think you'll have to join a queue to obtain one…

From what we understand, Nissan has no intentions to create a second generation CrossCabriolet, but that didn't deter Photoshop operatives from chopping the roof and rear doors off the newly announced 2015 Murano Mk3 to imagine the figurine of a soft-top variant.

At least in this rendered version, which comes to us courtesy of X-Tomi, the edgier 2015 Murano CrossCabriolet looks like a better base to begin with than the more egg-shaped current model.

All of you in favor for a CrossCabriolet replacement can virtually lift your hands up in the comments area below.

Default CR Finds 2015 Nissan Murano Luxurious, Striking to Behold but Not Perfect


The 2015 Nissan Murano is a big departure, even judged by the striking (and slightly odd) standards of its predecessor. Now brings a bit of Juke styling to the table, plus even more luxury than before and a clear emphasis on design over practicality.

It lacks the usual third row of seats that is becoming increasingly common in the segment, while the swoopy body restricts access to the trunk. The Consumer Reports reviewer also noted its ride which is apparently a bit on the rough side.

Even so, its interior is rated as really good, looking especially pleasant with as much plush-looking beige trim as the test car had. The design is pretty upscale too, but as long as it doesn't have an appropriate badge, people will still see it as a wannabe.

Check out the review below.

Default CNET Sees New Nissan Murano as Premium-Feeling, Outrageously Styled


The new Nissan Muano is a departure from the style of its predecessor. It features a new swoopier approach to design, and an interior that looks like it belongs in a premium vehicle - at least in the photos/videos we've seen.

Its infotainment screen, however, while powered by new software, still looks like it’s from the early 2000s, and the touch response is also last-decade…

CNET says it’s still pretty good (the car and the infotainment, that is) and it also appreciates the car’s simplicity of operation. Nothing is fiddly to do, and the new Murano doesn’t have as big of an array of buttons and functions as some rivals do.

But still, there are those who will buy it based on looks alone. It’s not necessarily pretty, but it does stand out.

Also, don’t look for fuel saving tech on this car because it and its 3.5-liter V6 engines are still oldschool propositions in many respects.
