Nissan Murano The 2019 model year is a premium crossover that combines a dynamic design, a comfortable interior and proven technical solutions. The car belongs to the third generation (Z52), which debuted in 2014, but in 2019 it received a noticeable update: modified front optics, a modified multimedia system and an expanded list of safety options. This crossover is positioned as an alternative Toyota Highlander And Ford Edge, offering a more pronounced sporting character while maintaining family practicality.
On the secondary market Murano 2019 is in stable demand thanks to reliable 3.5 liter V6 (260 hp), all-wheel drive Intelligent AWD and a spacious interior with leather trim. However, before purchasing, you should carefully study the typical problems of the model, the features of operation in Russian conditions and the nuances of choosing between trim levels SL, SV And Platinum. In this guide we will look at everything: from technical characteristics to diagnostic tips before the transaction.
Technical specifications Nissan Murano 2019
Under the hood Murano 2019 has a single engine installed - naturally aspirated V6 with a volume of 3.5 liters (code VQ35DD), developing 260 hp at 6000 rpm and 336 Nm of torque. This engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission Xtronic CVT, which is criticized for its rubbery response but praised for its smooth ride. Four-wheel drive Intelligent AWD connects automatically when slipping, and in manual mode allows you to block the torque distribution 50:50.
Acceleration to 100 km/h takes approx. 7.5 seconds - a good result for a crossover weighing 1.8 tons. Fuel consumption in the combined cycle is 10.2–11.5 l/100 km (according to the passport), but real owners report 12–14 l in the city in winter. Independent suspension on both axles (front - MacPherson, back - Multilink), which provides good handling, but on rough roads it becomes excessively rigid.

Pros and cons of the model: reviews from owners
Among the main advantages Murano 2019 owners highlight:
- 🚀 Acceleration dynamics — The V6 pulls well on the highway, overtaking is easy.
- 🛋️ Comfortable salon with high-quality sound insulation and ergonomic chairs.
- 🌍 Four-wheel drive, which behaves confidently on snow and wet asphalt.
- 📱 Multimedia with support
Apple CarPlayAndAndroid Auto(from 2019 - standard).
However, there are also significant disadvantages:
- ⚠️ Unreliable variator — if maintenance is not done in a timely manner, it begins to “kick” after 80–100 thousand km.
- 💰 Expensive maintenance — original spare parts and oil for CVT are 2-3 times more expensive than competitors.
- 🛣️ Stiff suspension on uneven surfaces, especially with 20-inch wheels (included in
Platinum). - 🔋 Weak battery - many owners change it after 3-4 years of operation.
Before purchasing, check the variator for jerks during acceleration. The test drive should include driving at a speed of 40–60 km/h with a smooth press on the gas - if shocks are felt, it is better to refuse the deal.
Typical problems and how to avoid them
Basic "diseases" Nissan Murano 2019 are associated with a CVT and electronics. Here's what breaks most often:
- CVT belt wear - manifested by vibrations and noise during acceleration. Solution: change the belt and oil every
60,000 km(cost ~50,000 rub.). - Seal leaks front and rear gearboxes - require replacement (~20,000 rubles for labor + spare parts).
- Multimedia system failures — navigation and Bluetooth are often glitchy. Resetting the settings or flashing the firmware helps.
- Threshold corrosion — even with low mileage, pockets of rust may appear. Inspect the bottom before purchasing.
To minimize risks, adhere to the following rules:
Check the service history for signs of an oil change in the CVT|
Test the smoothness of the CVT at speeds of 40–80 km/h |
Inspect the sills and wheel arches for corrosion|
Check the operation of all electrical systems (cameras, sensors, climate control)|
Make sure there is no smell of burnt oil in the cabin (a sign of problems with the CVT)-->
⚠️ Attention: If there is an entry in the car's history towing with a flexible hitch, the variator could overheat. Such cases significantly reduce the transmission life.
