2016 Nissan Murano
It makes sense to talk about what these Murano models have in common before we see what’s different about them.

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.
