Used Nissan, Muranos for sale at EchoPark

Nissan Murano

The Nissan Murano is an iconic SUV that dared to be different.

At the time of its debut, its sleek coupe-like design was a breath of fresh air in a market full of boxy utility vehicles. Today, the Murano is known for its bold exterior, lush interior, and surprisingly smooth performance. It’s safe to say it’s the perfect combination of a stylish yet practical ride.

If this car has been on your radar, you’re at the right place. At EchoPark, you can get a perfectly maintained Nissan Murano used car without breaking the bank.

About the Nissan Murano

The Nissan Murano was introduced in 2003 as a groundbreaking crossover car that defied traditional SUV norms. Its elegant profile instantly made it stand out against the boxy SUVs of the time. The Murano was well known for its stylish build, comfortable interior, and handling agility.

Now, in its fourth generation, the Murano has evolved drastically. Earlier models featured bold curves and chrome accents. Meanwhile, newer generations are more refined and sophisticated while retaining the original roominess and comfort.

Currently, the Nissan Murano is available in four trims:

• SV FWD: This is the base trim with heated front seats, Nissan Safety Shield 360, and roof rails.
• Midnight Edition FWD: This is a sportier-looking variant of the SV, featuring 20-inch black aluminum-alloy wheels.
• SL FWD: This premium trim is designed for comfort, with a panoramic moonroof, an Intelligent Around View monitor, and a 10-speaker sound system.
• Platinum FWD: This top-tier trim has premium amenities like diamond-quilted inserts, climate-controlled seats, and 20-inch dark hypersilver wheels.

Key Features

Here are the three key features of the Nissan Murano.

Flexible Storage Solutions

The Nissan Murano is a five-passenger SUV, so you can expect lots of space and flexibility. The cargo area is generous and can be adjusted in seconds. Plus, the rear seats split 60/40, so you’ll have space to haul long and bulky items without effort.

You can also split the second for extra storage. Meanwhile, folding both seats will increase your cargo space by at least 67 cubic feet! The Murano allows you to experiment with different configurations to make the most of your SUV.

When your hands are full, you can simply kick the rear bumper area, and the Motion Activated Liftgate will automatically open. You won’t have to reach for your keys or put down whatever you’re carrying. This feature was introduced in 2009 in the second-generation Murano.

Connected Technology

The Murano comes with NissanConnect Services, so you can fully customize how you stay in touch. Thanks to the integrated CarPlay, you can connect it to your smartphone in a few quick steps. Then, enjoy your usual infotainment services with voice control for minimal distractions.

NissanConnect gives you easy access to customizable alerts and emergency response services. Even your rear seat crew can control the music with the MyNISSAN app’s remote connectivity. Finally, the display has all the familiar layouts of your smartphone.

Comfortable Interior

The Murano is a highly customizable car, so you can own your driving experience. Want your seats at a certain temperature from the moment you sit down? The climate-controlled seats can be heated or cooled with just the touch of a button.

The best part about the Murano is its comfortable and spacious interior. Depending on your trim, you can enjoy premium leatherette or leather-appointed seats. The roomy interior offers unobstructed views of every passenger, making it the perfect family vehicle.

Performance

Every Nissan Murano runs on a 3.5-liter V-6 engine with 260 horsepower. Front-wheel drive is a standard feature in all trims, but you can opt for the AWD, even in the base trim. Both setups use a CVT.

Murano had always been decent in performance, but the latest models have changed the game. This SUV is truly in its element on long-distance highways when looking for a smooth and peaceful journey. The suspension has been tuned for comfort, so you won’t feel even the roughest potholes on the road.

At the end of the day, it’s a reliable car that’ll promise a smooth ride no matter where you’re going. The steering wheel is also stable on highways but not as good on meandering two lanes. The only issue is that its tow rating of 1,500 lb. is on the low side.

Safety

All Nissan Murano trims are protected by Nissan Safety Shield 360 – a set of driver assistance features. It’s been available in all Murano trims since 2021. Here’s what you can expect from them:

• Automatic emergency braking
• Lane departure warning
• Blind spot warning
• Rear automatic braking
• Forward-collision warning
• Rear cross-traffic alert
• High-beam assist
• Available lane-keeping assist
• Available adaptive cruise control

It’s worth noting that the IIHS has rated the Nissan Murano “Good” in nearly all categories.

Alternatives

If a Nissan Murano SUV used car doesn’t pique your interest, you can explore these alternatives in the same range:

• Kia Sorento: The Kia Sorento is a cost-effective version of the Murano. Its spacious interior and the option for a third row make it perfect for larger families. The IIHS has also deemed it a Top Safety Pick.
• Ford Edge: The Ford Edge is known for its cutting-edge infotainment system. It offers more generous passenger and cargo space than the Murano. You can expect features like the Ford Co-Pilot360, a 2.0L turbocharged I-4 engine, and a 12-inch display with Ford's SYNC 4 software.
• Subaru Outback: The Subaru Outback is another strong contender for reliability. It offers an 11.6-inch touchscreen display and Standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology. Plus, the Outback runs on a 2.4L turbocharged flat-four engine generating 260 horsepower.
