2011 Nissan Murano Facelift Unveiled

As the first true crossover and a halo model for Nissan, the only thing that could enhance the Murano is the pace, economy and efficiency of diesel power – and that’s now exactly what it’s got!

Available to order in the UK now, the Murano dCi benefits from a diesel engine specifically engineered for Europe with significant input from engineers at Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE).

The 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine has been totally revised with extensive changes designed to provide the perfect balance of performance and efficiency for the Murano. This is combined with a revised 6 speed automatic transmission providing Adaptive Shift Control for the optimum gear and helping to reduce CO2 emissions by 5.0g/km through lower transmission friction and Clear Neutral Control. It is now fully compliant with tough Euro5 emissions standards, and develops 11% more power and torque than before. The headline figures are 190PS and 450Nm at just 2,000rpm.

An all-important benefit of the new diesel unit is efficiency, and with 35.3mpg economy in the combined cycle and 210g/km CO2 emissions the Murano is more appealing than ever. This is helped by improved aerodynamics and a first ever on Murano, an electric power regeneration system.

I hate to admit it but the Murano is a pretty nice vehicle. The front end styling had to grow on me but after I drove it I really liked it. Even the CVT wasn't so bad. My ex gf has a black one and its a pretty cool chick truck.

The first generation was not as chick as this generation. I have to wait and see this in person before i make the decision on the MUCH needed facelift.

I tried, but I just can't get into Muranos look, just the front end mainly, its just too much going on in the front.

I just vomited all over my computer.

People slag off other companies for designs that look ordinary or bland. I would prefer that to a car that is blatantly ugly and deformed looking.

The front is too "unnatural" looking. It doesn't make any sense - why would someone design a car to look like that. And its not just 1 person, imagine how many people would have to approve the design in a company like NISSAN before it goes into production.

I guess it goes without saying that I don't like the look of this car.
