Minor styling and equipment changes mark this car-type SUV for 2006. Based on Nissan's Altima sedan platform, Murano is a five-passenger wagon with no third-row seating available. Models are S, SL, and SE. All use a 245-hp V6 and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The SE's has a manual-shift mode that mimics preset gears. All models offer front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The AWD system lacks low-range gearing, but a console button can lock in a 50/50 power split for extra traction up to 30 mph. ABS is standard. So are front torso side airbags and curtain side airbags with rollover deployment. All models have a rear liftgate with fixed glass. SEs come with a firmer suspension and xenon headlamps. An antiskid system is available, as is a navigation system and DVD entertainment. SL and SE include a rearview camera. Steering-wheel-mounted audio controls are illuminated for '06, and all models get revised grille and exterior trim.
