Where do you drive?  Whether you’re navigating downtown Spokane traffic, a snowy commute on I-90 between Coeur d’Alene and Spokane or a weekend trip to Priest Lake, you need a Nissan vehicle that can handle it all.

Wherever the road takes you and whatever condition it’s in, the Nissan Murano has what it takes to get you there.  We will show you how the SUV is designed with all-weather confidence, advanced safety technologies and a stylish design, all a perfect fit for your Spokane lifestyle.

🌨️All-Weather Confidence with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive

When you live in the Inland Northwest, your vehicle needs to be able to handle diverse and sometimes challenging weather.  Spokane winters with accumulations of snow that lead to icy roads, can prove demanding on a car.  The Nissan Murano is ready for anything, from the summer sun to the winter snow.  Its available intelligent all-wheel drive system gives you the confidence to take on any road, no matter how far it takes you.

The available intelligent AWD continuously monitors road conditions and can adapt and react quickly to deliver power to the wheels to help get the best traction.  The system helps drivers maintain control on Spokane’s slick roads caused by rain, snow or ice.  Head up to Mt. Spokane for a day of skiing or get to River Park Square for Christmas shopping with ease during the winter season.

🛑Advanced Safety Technologies

Nissan knows that safety is a top priority for Spokane families and commuters in the area.  That’s why the Nissan Safety Shield 360, a comprehensive suite of safety features, is standard in the Nissan Murano.  Six features monitor in front of you, on your sides and behind you.

  • Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection: Helps prevent or lessen front-end collisions. This feature is particularly helpful during rush hour traffic in downtown Spokane and in school zones.
  • Rear Automatic Braking: Sends a warning if the systems detect a potential collision when the vehicle is backing up, then it will automatically apply the brakes. Great for getting out of tight parking areas.
  • Blind Spot Warning: When another vehicle is found in the detection zone, a warning is given.
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert: When in reverse and moving under 5mph, the system detects approaching vehicles or pedestrians that might not be in the driver’s line of sight.
  • Lane Departure Warning: If your vehicle is nearing or crossing a lane marker without using the turn signal, the steering wheel will vibrate.
  • High Beam Assist: When an oncoming vehicle is detected, the technology will automatically change the high beam lights to the low beam. When it’s gone, the high beams will come back on.  Perfect when driving I-90 to Seattle and back.

💎A Luxurious and Connected Cabin

The interior of the Nissan Murano is anything but routine.  The available Italian Murano glass-inspired dash treatment is spectacular, luxurious every time you look at it.  The standard 12.3” dual high-definition displays offer everything you need with linkage to your compatible devices.   Available Google built-in provides Google Assistant, Google Maps and more.  You decide what matters most. Easily customize the digital driver’s display to show only the information you want, whether you’re making a quick stop or setting off on an adventure to Lake Coeur d’Alene.

The Murano seats up to five with a spacious cargo area.  Get almost 33 cubic feet of space in the back.  Increase it up to 63.5 cubic feet when the 60/40 split-folding rear seats are folded down.  All the seats are zero gravity seats, standard in the Murano and perfect for those longer drives across Washington.  Winters in the Inland Northwest demand comfort.  Fortunately for you, select Murano trims offer available heated seats for both the front and rear passengers.  Think of it-after scraping ice off the windshield, you’ll love getting into a cabin with seats that will warm you up immediately.
