Nissan GT-R Supercar and 2009 Murano Crossover unveiled
 

The current Murano is still looking fresh, but that hasn??™t stopped Nissan from building an all-new model.

Set to arrive in the UK in late 2008, the crossover SUV will be based on Nissan??™s new D platform. A revised version of the current car??™s 3.5-litre petrol V6 unit, developing 265bhp, will initially be offered, and it??™s mated to a second-generation Xtronic CVT gearbox. Within a year, a diesel powerplant ??“ a first for the Murano range ??“ will follow.

Elements of the distinctive looks and aggressive stance of the original Murano remain, but there are a number of significant tweaks. Up front, a menacing new grille design is flanked by wider headlights, while integrated fog-lamps fit flush with the bumper on top-spec models. A choice of either 18 or 20-inch alloy wheels fill the flared arches. At the back, there??™s a new shape to the tailgate glass and LED rear lights, which take inspiration from the items seen on the firm??™s smaller Qashqai crossover model.
