Page 1 of 1 The Nissan Murano's, modern design is made possible, in part, by the use of Nissan's new FF-L (front engine, front-drive) platform, which it shares with the Altima. The exterior, guided by a 'sculpture in motion' theme, offers a new wraparound surface construction, an architectural front grille and a sporty upswept shaped D-pillar that blends with the rounded rear cargo door to project a very three-dimensional feel. It features 'SUV strength' below the beltline and sport sedan openness above. The lightweight rear cargo door, constructed from advanced plastics reinforced by steel, is not only easy to open and close but further enhances the Nissan Murano's sculptured appearance. Advanced, vertical stack headlights are offered with available xenon bulbs. Standard 18-inch wheels and tires contribute to the contemporary, high quality exterior appearance. Page 1 of 1
