New Nissan Murano available in diesel
Posted by Fiona Birkwood
Nissans new Murano, which has LED car bulbs, is now available with a diesel engine.
The Murano dCi has a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine as well as a revised six-speed automatic transmission.
This makes the vehicle fully compliant with tough Euro5 emissions standards and gives it 11 per cent more power and torque than its predecessor.
“Nissans designers have also taken the opportunity to combine the need for cooling airflow to the diesel engine and radiators, with a styling makeover for the Muranos front-end,” a statement from the car company said.
In terms of efficiency, the Murano dCi boasts 35.3mpg economy when it is in the combined cycle and just 210g/km in CO2 emissions.
Rear privacy glass, Bi-Xenon headlamps, cruise control and electrically folding rear seats all come, as standard, with the vehicle.
Priced at £37,795, orders are being taken now ready for the first deliveries in September.
Earlier this week, Nissan Motor Co Ltd announced that a range of advanced, fuel-saving technologies will be introduced on its new models launched in the 2010 fiscal year.
