Nissan refreshed the third generation of the Murano in 2018 for the 2019 model year, adding more flavor to the stylish crossover vehicle.
Although a well-known off-road automaker, Nissan introduced the Murano lineup without any off-road-inspired cladding and technology. Moreover, it was even offered with a two-door convertible bodywork. The third generation was launched in 2014 at the Los Angeles Auto Show, and the Japanese automaker chose the same environment in 2018 to unveil the facelifted version. But the refresh was slightly disappointing.
The third generation of the Murano was well-designed, and thus, Nissan felt to only partially improve the car's look. Still, it added LED lights all around, matching the trend in the automotive sector. Also, the front bumper was changed and now sported a new design for the lower area, with a broader center intake flanked by triangular clusters for the new LED fog lights. Moreover, the car could've been ordered with 18" or 20" light-alloy wheels, and three more colors were added to the options list. In addition, the car's exterior received chromed trims instead of satin-silver ones.
Customers could find the same cozy, warm interior with bucket seats at the front and a split-folding bench at the rear. One of the most significant improvements was the infotainment system, which now offered standard Android Auto and Apple Carplay technology, easing the connection with smartphones.
Under the hood, there were no apparent changes since the carmaker still offered the same 3.5-liter V6 paired with an X-Tronic (CVT) gearbox that sent power to the front wheels for the base trim level or in all corners.
