Good morning people of YouTube
We've always liked the stylish design of the Murano
So we're happy to bring you one of the first reviews of the newly refreshed 2019 model
This has always been a very popular product for Nissan and these changes are designed to further elevate the upscale feel
Of course
we do an especially thank our friends at gates Nissan for providing us with this 2019 Murano and
if you're in the market for any new Nissan
Be sure to stop by their dealership or visit them on their website, which we provided a link to in the video description. So
With all that said let's get to checking out the 2019 changes
So starting with the exterior, this is definitely the place where Nissan has done most of the work
Now initially, it won't seem like much has changed
but when viewed side-by-side with the old model you'll see that nothing from the front has carried over the
grill itself is now made from a flat chrome beef filled in with a honeycomb texture and
Then the black area around the grille now goes down a lot further than it used to
Finally, there is also a chrome bar that goes across the entire bottom
The headlights also haven't significantly upgraded
Since they are now fully LED across all the trims as opposed to only the platinum last year
the overall shape is similar, but everything just looks a lot more premium, especially the daytime running light and
Then at the bottom SL and platinum will also have LED fog lights
Now it is worth mentioning that none of this front changes between the trims and at least for now there is no mid night addition
Moving on to the side nothing here has changed so it continues to look very unique
One of those unique elements is the floating roofline that leads straight into the brand-new LED tail lights
Just like the headlights. They are now standard across the board and look a lot more premium than last year
and
Then at the bottom you'll continue to find dual exhaust outlets
So overall despite the relatively small changes
They make a big difference in making the Murano look more modern and upscale than ever before
Now one thing that will look familiar to you on most trims are the wheels
The lower two trims continue to come with 18 inch alloys and these cool 20 inch
Contrast alloys have moved down from the Platinum model to the SL trim
However, the platinum trim does now get its own unique 20 inch wheel this year
Checking out the mirrors they are always body-colored power adjusting and also heated on the SL and Platinum
Blind spot monitoring is standard on all but the base model with the indicator being located inside the cabin
And as far as all the other safety equipment Murano continues to have a ton of it
you're looking at standard automatic emergency braking on all trims the BSM with rear cross-traffic alerts starting on SB and
adaptive cruise control on SL
Finally the Platinum trim or SL with tech package adds Lane Keeping Assist
pedestrian detection Auto high beams and rear auto braking and
Finishing up the outside. All Muranos have a nineteen gallon fuel tank which is good for a fuel range of
437 miles as equipped
It does use regular unleaded fuel
Anyways, that's it for the changes to the bold exterior. So now let's see what Nissan has done with the cabin
So as with most Nissan's you do have standard smart entry here on the Murano and
You will find remote start on all but the very base trip
Now we get inside the vehicle itself, there is no sensor behind the door handle so you just press the button
Alrighty so checking out the cabin of the
2019 Murano as you can see, there's not been a big change to the design itself
But instead refinements to the material selection now as far as all the different choices
You've got you've got three different color schemes three different seating materials and three different trim pieces to choose from
So starting out with your colors. You've got cashmere
Graphite and mocha and then for your seating s and SV will have cloth seats
This SL comes with real leather seating and then now on the Platinum you have an exclusive
Quilted semi-aniline leather for the seating and it'll ask me for your trim pieces
You have this silver trim a light wood trim or a dark wood trim reserved for the Platinum only
Now turning over here to the door trim it is very nicely appointed
You have a generous use of leather through here with a really nice-looking double stitched area through the armrest
You've got some of that faux wood trim right through here and all the other areas are soft touch
as far as the windows
they are one touch automatic up and down for your driver and passenger and
Then on SL and platinum you will find two person memory seating
Come over here to the seat
It is 8-way power adjustable two way lumbar on all that the base S where you have a six-way manual seat
And of course like I already said this is real leather here on the SL
Has a really premium feel just like in a luxury vehicle and if that's not even enough, of course, like I said
You've got the Platinum with the semi-aniline leather
And that's something you never see on vehicles without a luxury tag on the front. So that's really impressive
So the Murano has always had a really high-quality cabin for a mainstream vehicle and that continues for 2019
And so on all of the upper dash you've got a soft touch
Material except for over the gauges here where you actually have a leather material with a really nice stitching detail
Like I said, you got three different types of trim through here
Which is a faux aluminum or some faux wood and then all this area is also soft touch
Finally down here at the bottom
You have a big swath of leather through here with stitching gives you a nice place to rest your knee against
So all in all really good materials and everything fits together very nicely
Now start that Murano you do have push button start standard on all the trims
When you fire it up you will see an 8 inch touch display on standard across all the trim levels
And checking out your gauges this premium set up dust comes standard across all trims as well
this is a
7-inch central display for your driver and it controls all different types of functions that you expect like your drive computer fuel economy
Including your safety systems and like your speed limit detection as well. I
coming back to the steering wheel
Of course, you do have electric power steering and you will find the leather wrap steering wheel on all but the very base model
up here
You've got your various phone and voice
Commands as well as for your multi information display and then on this side since we have the tech package
We do have adaptive cruise control
The wheel itself is manually tilt and telescoping on all but the Platinum we're at is power
However on both the SL and platinum we do have steering wheel heating
Now moving on to storage of course, this is a crossover
So it's very important to be practical and the Murano does a really good job
It's opening up your center console here
as you can see
You've got a couple different tiers so you can keep things up close to the top and then right next to it
You've got a really deep area goes all the way down and there is a removable pad down there at the bottom
Additionally outlet as well
In front of that, you've got your two cupholders and another big area to stick stuff
And then dropping down you've even got some storage that runs along through here
Well down here does give you a good view of the ambient lighting which comes on SL and platinum
And that is also underneath of your door handle as well. So really nice looking
And I do also want to mention your connections over here
Since you now have a USB type-c in addition to your traditional USB port 12 volt outlet and aux jack
Now coming back to the shifter, this is pretty much the same as last year
So it's just an easy to use traditional shifter. You can bump over here to the left to shift manually
However, no Murano comes with paddle shifters
And then when you go into reverse on SL and platinum you're gonna find Nissan's excellent around view monitor
This course is the same as you've seen in other Nissan and if they're new products
You've got your traditional
view over here on the left as well as your 360 view on the right and it does have a moving object detection with
Parking sensors on all the sides so you can tell when there's any objects around
Additionally the mirrors do tilt down when it reverse to help you see the parking lines better
Now moving back from the shifter here on the SL you will find two's mode heated seats
These are standard on both SL and platinum optional and SV
However to get seat ventilation you have to go for the platinum
But as far as all the rest of the climate controls these are dual zone automatic across all four of your terms
It's a very simple setup to use that you can see you. Got your
two large knobs to control the temperature
For both sides as well as your traditional physical controls for everything else down here and one easy-to-use place
And now that brings us up to our audio system so on SL and platinum you have an 11 speaker Bose premium audio system
So we'll go ahead and take a listen
Sound quality of this system is excellent. You can definitely tell that it's shared with a lot of Infiniti models
But anyways that now brings us to our Nissan connect system here, so let's go ahead and take a quick look at that
Alright, so this is the newest Nissan connect system
Same as all the other Nissan products
You've got your home screen where you can lay out different apps as well as the widgets kind of like an Android phone
So that's unique from a lot of other systems
You can of course click into these different widgets to expand them
So here on our Bluetooth audio we can't play and pause the music straight from here
You can also click the source button to see all the various other sources available
There are shortcut buttons alongside clean your home button at the top and then there are duplicate shortcut buttons along the bottom as well
And over here, we have navigation on the SL trim and the Platinum trim
Which is a little bit different than last year since all four of the trims have navigation
However, nevertheless I all four of the trims do have Android auto and apple carplay
So regardless of whether you have the integrated navigation, you can still navigate with Apple or Google Maps
But as far as the actual navigation map itself by it is reasonably detailed very responsive and looks pretty nice
Well, it's pretty much the Nissanconnect system in a nutshell
However, we do have a much more detailed tech help video available
If you want to learn more a length of that video is provided in the description
Moving on up you will surprisingly find an auto-dimming mirror with homelink universal remotes on all but the base model and
Then our model also comes with the panoramic moonroof
Now this is standard only on the Platinum
However, it can be added to both the SV and SL optionally our model comes through the technology package
As you can see it isn't really big and this front portion does open up just like a traditional
And you do have a windscreen as well
But overall, I've always been impressed by the Muranos interior
It's a very luxurious space and it gives you really a lot more luxury than a lot of the rivals do
Nissan's always claim that this competes with the Lexus RX more than any other model and based on the changes
They've made for 2019 I'd say that's more true than ever
Now I'll go ahead and hand it off to Mason who will finish up the rest of the video
So in the back of the Refresh 2019 Murano you're gonna once again find a large amount of space
You'll find 39 inches of rear legroom and 40 inches of rear headroom
That does make it a little less than the Ford Edge, but it's larger than the Lexus RX
Now coming over here to the door trim, it is really nicely appointed
so you do have a leather armrest with a really nice stitching detail going through here and
You do have some more of that silver trim as well as a nice door handle
now down below you do have a fully automatic or auto down window and
You do also have a duck course the door storage with a bottle holder
Now the seat itself is a very comfortable design it is even perforated here in the rear and it can also recline
Now here in the center you will find that the Murano SL is loaded to the gills with features
So up top
we do have a little bit of a storage area and
Down below that you will find two state heated rear seats on the SL and Platinum trims
Which is really nice for a chilly day like today
Now in addition to that the 2019 refresh adds the USB type-c port and there is an additional smart charging USB
now down below that we do also have some vents and
It is outlined in nice silver trim. So it looks really nice
In addition to that we do have a nice armrests slow the raft and it does have cup holders and storage at the end
And up top we do also have the panoramic moonroof
which is a really nice touch really helps air out the cabin and beside that you do have some lighting which is LED now as
Well as an assist and coat hook
Now like I said, this car comes in middle of the pack when it comes to space and that shows behind drew seating position
I have probably about a foot of
legroom between my knees in the seat back with the seat adjusted to Drew and my feet can't easily slide up under the seat and
Moving over even with the seat scooted all the way back. I still have a good 5 inches of rear legroom
But overall, I'm super impressed with the Nissan Muranos rear seat I have been since it came out in
2015 and this rear seat just has all the luxury features you could ever want and imagine and it really feels like a luxury car
Back here, except it's not at the luxury car price tag
Now to fold the seats just grab this little strap it will fold right down
Now heading around to the tailgate it is hands-free power on the SL and platinum trims
So just wave your foot under the bumper and it will open right now
Now once inside the Murano's trunk you're going to find a lot of space again
You'll find 32 cubic feet behind the second rough seats
And it expands to 67 cubic feet with the folded all the way now that is significantly larger than the Lexus RX
But it is once again a little smaller than the Ford Edge
now Nissan does give you some handles back here to fold the seat back so you can do it 3 as well and
As you can see it does give you a nice little flat loading floor
Now under the cargo floor here it is kind of hard to pull up
You will find a spare tire and it is really nicely finished back here with the carpeted floor mats
We'll talk about the pricing here in a minute
Passenger sees that beautiful design again and it is also for white power adjusting on all but the very base estimate
Now in front of the passenger we do have really nice materials so you do have a padded dashboard
You have some silver trim and it does connect to the door
which is a really nice touch and
Down below that you will find a nice glove box that is really nicely dampened and it is also a felt line
Now above that we do have a Sun Visor with a mirror and light and it does also detach and extend
Well guys that pretty much sums up all I'm going to talk about for the rear areas
But now let's go ahead and get to the powertrain and do a quick test drive
All right, so let's go ahead and talk a bit about the morano's powertrain
This is one of the areas that hasn't really changed from last year much at all
You've still got Nissan's venerable three and a half litre vq v6 and that continues to produce the same power
Which is 260 horsepower and 240 pound feet of torque
Power is put to the ground
We have the front wheels or optional all-wheel drive and then you continue to have the continuously variable
transmission with the D step logic to simulate gear changes
Finally, we don't have full EPA 2019 year ratings yet
however
This specific model is rated at 20 city 28 highway 23 combined
Which is a 1 mpg combined decrease from the 2018 Murano I was in but like I said
I don't know exactly if it were varies by trim this year
But anyways, we'll go ahead and take it on a quick test drive, right?
Off the bat you got I love that VQ startup. Yes always been a fan
All right, so sitting off the 2019 Murano
Initial takeoff is pretty good. It definitely feels
responsive
Really sounds great, too
So right off the bat I can already tell that the steering and the handling are good
You know, this is a two row however, you know, it's sized pretty large it's a it's a large vehicle and
You know this definitely feels a lot tighter a lot more button down and the steering is a lot more
Responsive and you can see it really responds quickly. There's no dead spot or anything like that
so
Definitely a lot better than I was expecting actually
Also some rough spots here on this road and it definitely seems to be taking the bump really well
As far as your a Nissan xtronic CVT, like I said, it does have the D stop logic system
So you've got simulated gear changes now?
It's not exactly the same as like the in the newest products like the 2019
Altima that I drove about a month ago
So there's not exactly like a kick sensation of a gear change
What you do have the audible and visual
Variation of the RPMs to still make you seem as though you're shifting
In the ultimate you would do it at all times and the older-style it would do it under hard acceleration
So this is the older stuff so it will do it under harder acceleration
There is no auto start/stop system on this vehicle if you were wondering
you know, that's a
Pro for some of you guys if that's something that annoys you which I know from comments that some people don't like the auto
start/stop system
So there is not one on
This vehicle and there are a lot of brands that will not even allow you to disable it if you dislike it
I've already touched on briefly but this road
is pretty rough
now, you know for a car that claims that
It competes at the Lexus RX you've got to have really good ride quality and I am happy to say that it does
There's this road as rough like I said and it is handled everything expertly
It really does right like a luxury car in here. Yes, the seats are super comfortable and it's also very quiet
You know you have not only the refined white ride
but you also have a very quiet cabin and it's a very luxurious experience through and through because your seats are comfortable and
Everyone if you have a family is going to be really have enjoy the nice ride of this car
You have power in this is definitely adequate for a vehicle like this
You know idiots of the speed
perfectly fast it
You know, it doesn't make a bunch of terrible noises or anything like that. It's actually as I already said
Might just be a personal thing, but I like the BU the way it's a nose. So that's a pleasurable in that respect
Almost has a little bit of a recipe sound to it. It's not like all the other 3.5 liters
But overall, I've really enjoyed the way that the Murano drives
I didn't really know what to expect. You know, like the rogue for instance is not really all that sporty
And this is not like really sporty or anything, but I was impressed by the way. It handles has really it has a tight
Fast and accurate steering and you know going around corners and stuff. It feels pretty button-down. It doesn't feel as big as it is and
Of course, there's just so luxurious, you know
So it really it's a good balanced package that gives you all the luxuries, you know
It's as well-equipped as a luxury vehicle
