Nissan are one of the companies that don’t shy away from extensive use of technology in their projects, and the 2015 Murano just further serves to drive that point home. The new edition of the company’s SUV crossover has various special features that should attract the tech-savvy drivers, as well as those looking for a vehicle that not only performs well, but is also nice to look at.
It’s been known for a while that Nissan are trying to compete with certain offers by Lexus with their Murano line, and this is becoming even more obvious with the 2015 model of the SUV. In particular, reports claim that it’s supposed to compete with the Lexus RX, and while that claim might sound a bit too outrageous, reports indicate that the company has actually been quite successful in their attempt.
The 2015 model is an improvement over the previous entries in the line in every way, according to critics, and it has been particularly commended for its fuel efficiency and extensive use of technology in the interior. For example, passengers can charge their mobile devices through integrated USB ports in the seats, and the vehicle offers various advanced driving assist systems that should make anyone’s experience on the road smooth and hassle-free, even under more serious conditions.
Among the features included, drivers will get access to advanced blind spot detection, collision warning, and a special system for close-driving assistance which uses a surround-view camera configuration, complete with detection of moving objects. Still, reviewers have noted that some features are missing, which would be expected from a model released today. Lane departure is among the more notable ones, so drivers who’re interested in a complete round of safety features might be a bit wary of what the 2015 Murano offers.
On the other hand, Nissan seem to know exactly what market segment they’re aiming at with the release of the new Murano, and the company claims that the new model has everything they envision their target purchasers are going to be interested in. Whether this will play out the way Nissan are envisioning it, only time will tell – however, reviewers have been generally positive towards the 2015 Murano, and the set of features it offers for its price tag.
On that note, Nissan are offering the Murano in different variants which should fit the needs of most people adequately, and those who aren’t looking to get every advanced gadget under the sun can opt for some slightly less expensive versions. However, there might be better alternatives for buyers interested in a solution like that, as other companies have similar models for relatively little money.
