2009 Nissan Murano Una versión totalmente nueva mejora a un exitoso original. | starMedia

Conclusiones

Hay un número enorme de camionetas SUV crossover disponibles en el mercado americano para 2009, que son competentes, cómodas, prácticas y espaciosas. Nosotros creemos que la nueva Nissan Murano se clasifica arriba con las mejores de ellas. La Murano nos gusta mucho, por dentro y por fuera. Es atractiva, fácil de usar, razonablemente potente y no se gastará todo su dinero en gasolina.
