2005 Nissan Murano SE 2WD - Prices, Photos, Reviews from Yahoo! Autos
The 2005 Nissan Murano is a successful exercise in both form and function, providing exactly what most city-dwelling SUV drivers want while leaving out the clunky, expensive extras. With a supple V6 engine spinning out 245 horsepower, the Murano offers plenty of passing power, while its Nissan Altima-based platform provides a sporty yet comfortable ride. You'll find the myriad of nooks and crannies around the cabin, such as the dedicated cell phone holder, to be thoughtful and useful. All-wheel drive is available for those living in snowy climes, but you'll still do well with the standard front-wheel drive.
2003 Nissan Murano SE, SL - Review / Road Test
The all-new 2003 Nissan Murano drives like a sport sedan, but carries cargo like a Honda Pilot. Murano is a crossover SUV, designed to carry people and cargo like a sport-utility vehicle, but drive and ride smoothly like a car. The Murano is different from most crossovers, however, in that it's more like a car, offering better handling and a more carlike ambience than the Highlander or Pilot.

Each offers a choice of two-wheel drive or all-wheel drive Click for a larger 2003 Nissan Murano picture ($1600). The shape of the Nissan Murano is designed to blend the look of a car and a truck. The top half of the body is sleek like a car, the bottom half bulky like a truck. The overall look is much sleeker than tall wagon-shaped SUVs, yet still rugged. Murano is named after an island near Venice known for glass sculpture.

The rear hatch is made out of reinforced plastic because steel won't bend easily to the shape. As its looks suggest, the Murano is an aerodynamic machine.
