The 3.5-liter V6 engine in the 2012 Nissan Murano delivers 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. This kind of power, however, does not sacrifice fuel efficiency.

Along with performance, drivers will find a comfortable, stylish design on the interior of the 2012 Nissan Murano. Both the driver and front passenger can enjoy the Dual-Zone Automatic Temperature Control in the front seats, which allow both people to personalize their own temperature setting. For more comfort, the 2012 Murano can fold the 60/40-split second row flat, which doubles cargo space for storage.

Several safety features come standard on the 2012 Nissan Murano to ensure that drivers and passengers stay safe on the road. Vehicle Dynamic Control with Traction Control System helps prevent the crossover from slipping or falling off the road, while ABS, Brake Assist and Electronic Brake force Distribution enhance the driver’s ability to stop when needed.
