Model Year Updates
Today in Los Angeles Nissan unveiled a revised Murano crossover for the 2019 model year with updated exterior styling, interior refinements and available Nissan Safety Shield 360 technology. Murano first joined the Nissan lineup in 2003, early in America’s trend-setting switch from family sedans to crossover-utility vehicles.
