2016 Nissan Murano
It makes sense to talk about what these Murano models have in common before we see what’s different about them. Every Murano has stunning good looks, for example, and every Murano has a comfortable interior designed for interacting and entertaining instead of just getting from A to B. Just under 70 cubic feet of cargo space is available when the seats are folded down. And the 3.5-liter V6 engine makes 260 hp and 240 lb.-ft. of torque while getting 21 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.

The Platinum, despite being the most expensive, is one of our most popular Murano trims. Believe it or not, a lot of people just want to have it all! Here’s what you get, besides all of the SL features: steering wheel position memory, power-tilt and power-telescoping steering column, heated rear seats, power return rear seatbacks, and more. With the flashy 20-inch rims and LED headlights, a lot of the added bling is on the outside of this model. But you’ll definitely appreciate the extra creature comforts inside, all for not much more of an investment.
