New NIssan Murano : Price, Review And Specification
Nissan India is on the verge of launching the Murano SUV in the Indian market. The Murano is an upmarket SUV which would be imported from Japan as a completely built unit and cost upwards of Rs. 30-35 lakh after import duty. This would be the third imported vehicle from Nissan after it’s Teana luxury sedan and the somewhat successful X-Trail, both of which are at the premium end of the auto market. Nissan thinks that launching a range of premium vehicle would help it in establishing an upmarket brand image which would help them when they actually enter mainstream production for their small car at their upcoming Chennai plant.
Nissan recently unveiled the 2009 Murano internationally and this is the version(shown in picture) which should make it’s way to India. From the looks of it the Murano is a sleek SUV bordering on being a Crossover rather than a true blue off roader. The Murano 2009 looks very dramatic from the front thanks to the massive alien like grille and multiple projection lamps. The Murano has a 3.5 litre V6 petrol engine which would compete in thirst with the Toyota Prado.
