2017 Nissan Murano SL AWD Java Metallic Cashmere Theme In Depth Walk Around

Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to another episode of Cars Unlocked. My name is Christopher and today we're right outside of Collins Nissan taking a look at the 2017 Nissan Murano SL trim line. This one is in the gorgeous java metallic with the cashmere interior. Let's take a closer look. On the front of the Murano we can see Nissan's signature v-motion grille. Not too many changes between last year's model. It also is going to come with your LED daytime running lights. So this one comes in one of the most popular colors the java metallic. You can see we do have the rear tinted windows to add to the privacy. One of my favorite things about the Murano redesign that they did in 2015 was they blacked out this back pillar which gives it a nice floating effect. Gorgeous chrome all throughout as well. Everything floats to the rear of the car and you do have the nice chrome side sills here. In this SL package you do get the 18 inch aluminum alloy rims. It's a nice two-tone rim with the silver and the gray. And then you do have our rear mud guards here on all four tires. So this one does come with the LED turning signals right on the breakaway mirror here. As you can see and it does have the 360 camera. That is what you get when you go up to this SL package from the SV model is the round view monitor. So there's a camera on each mirror which is going to give you a bird's eye view of the vehicle when you're parking. So let's pop the hood of the 17 Murano and take a look at the power plan. Murano you do get the 3.5 V6 engine. It's going to give you about 260 horsepower with 240 pounds feet of torque. This one does come in the all-wheel drive system. So it's an interior all-wheel drive system where it will switch automatically for you. Different from the traditional 4x4 system. So this one does have the CVT transmission. It's a continuously variable transmission. Because of that transmission you do sacrifice a little towing capacity. This Murano can tow up to 1500 pounds but it is phenomenal on fuel. The back of the Nissan Murano has the chrome continuing throughout. We can see the very large Nissan emblem and our backup camera is right below. This one is the SL all-wheel drive edition. So we do get the SL all-wheel drive badging and our Murano badging. Signature to Murano's again just like the front is the boomerang style rear tail lights. So below your tailgate you do get this nice chrome accent here. And as you can see we do have these square dual exhaust finishers. So perfect for a day like today in the freezing cold here you do have the remote starter. This one is the intelligent remote start where when you start it up it's going to automatically adjust your temperature to get the car to 22 degrees. Below the remote starter is your remote your lock unlock and your power lift gate. And then we have our panic button at the bottom. It is a Nissan intelligent key so I just have to have the key in the proximity of the vehicle and I can push the button to lock and push the button to unlock the door. With that said let's unlock the 2017 Murano and check out the interior. Instantly when we enter the Murano we can see this gorgeous beige cashmere theme. The interior comes in two different themes a charcoal theme and the cashmere theme. When you go up to the SL package you do get the two memory positions for your driver's seat and then our window locks and mirror controls are right on the door here. Right next to the mirror is our blind spot indicator so that's going to indicate you when someone's in your blind spot letting you know not to change lanes. As you enter you do have the Murano kick plates and then you enter into the NASA inspired zero gravity seats. This is something that they added in all the Muranos and in the SL you do get the leather appointed seating and the eight-way power adjustable driver's seat. Checking out the steering wheel of the Murano we do have the heated and leather wrapped steering wheel and then all our controls are right on the wheel with our radio controls, our bluetooth and cell phone controls and our cruise control. One thing I love about the Nissan Murano is this very large vehicle information screen. It basically has so many controls that I don't really have to take my hands off the wheel and everything is in front of me. I can see I have my two gauges my tachometer and my speedometer there and then I have the digital speedometer right on the vehicle information screen as well as my compass. I can cycle these through these screens to show my radio, my compass, my drive computer, my fuel economy and then there's also the driving aids which a lot of people love in these SLs. As I mentioned it does have the blind spot warning. Okay so when they redesigned the Nissan Murano they did update the infotainment system and they're really stuck with the same thing for the 2017. Really the only new thing to the infotainment system in the 2017 models is we can add the apple carplay connection but this is really easy. It sets up just like your cell phone where I can go into my home menu and adjust where I have the different icons right on my screen and then there's all the features of your regular infotainment system like our Sirius satellite radio which Nissan gives you free for 90 days. Our GPS navigation which is a very large and vivid display and you can do things like your pinch to zoom and pinch to zoom out, track your google points of interest and other benefits of the navigation. It does come with the automatic and dual temperature control keeping your girlfriend happy. She can be hot on her side and I can be cold on my side and I just need to set the temperature and it's going to automatically adjust the fans to get to where it needs to be. The NAS inspired zero gravity seats are heated and the controls are right in the center console here and then I do have my push button start that comes with the Nissan Intelligent Key. One thing I love is the around view monitor that comes in these Morenos. There's a camera on all four sides of the vehicle. Right now it's in the front view and when I put it in reverse it switches to the rear view. I can also see my bird's eye view of the vehicle on the right hand side and it's also going to include our moving object detection and cross traffic alert. So if something is driving or moving perpendicular on the screen there it will notify me on the screen and with an audio beep. Everybody's favorite feature is the dual panoramic moonroof. This one comes in the SV trim level and up on the Morenos. Very large, lets a lot of light into the car. Just the front one opens up to the environment and the rear is more like the skylight in your house. It's all automatic and it just closes with the touch of a button there. One of the upgrades as you move up to the SL model is the Bose audio sound system and additional speakers. It's going to sound great especially with the Sirius XM trial that you get from Nissan. The back of the Nissan Moreno is extremely roomy and extremely comfortable. The nice inspired zero gravity seats do continue in the back giving that added comfort for long drives and long road trips. I can recline my seat as well if I want to relax and just have a comfier ride and I have my cup holders and elbow rests here and my cell phone slot right in the back. There's also a USB connection in the rear so I can play music right from the back here and charge my cell phone. With the SL you also get the power liftgate. It's going to open up with the touch of a button and you can set the height if you have a smaller garage or if it opens too high. I open it up to this massive cargo area as you can see it does come with the tunnel cover which is going to prevent people from seeing what you have in the back and this one does include the Nissan accessory cargo mat and all of them are going to include your carpeted floor mats. One of my favorite features about the cargo area of the Moreno is how the seats fold down. I just need to pull the levers here and it's going to fold on each side. It's a 60-40 split for the seat and then I have this massive cargo area for all my storage needs. So thank you very much for watching another episode of Cars Unlocked.
