The diesel version also differs aesthetically from the petrol model, for this the front end has been modified with the addition of a large front air intake to aid cooling.
In 2010, the CrossCabriolet convertible version was introduced. This model was equipped with a 3.5 V6 engine with 265 hp. with 335 Nm of torque in combination with Xtronic CVT transmission with adaptive shift control.
And already in April 2014, Nissan introduced the third generation Nissan Murano (design code Z52) at the New York Auto Show, which was equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine belonging to the Nissan VQ family with a CVT Xtronic automatic transmission and front or full drive.
