5 reasons to buy the 2019 Nissan Murano

1. Smooth ride around town

One of the advantages of a continuously variable transmission, or CVT, is there are no gears for it to shift through. This gives the 2019 Nissan Murano a smoother ride around town while also keeping the engine at the optimum rpm for your driving demands. If a smooth and quiet ride is an essential part of an SUV to you, the 2019 Nissan Murano should be a great choice.

2. Room for the family

There's enough space for five in the 2019 Nissan Murano thanks to 55.7 cubic feet of front-seat space and 52.4 cubic feet of rear-seat space. With an additional 32.1 cubic feet of cargo space (31.1 with the sunroof), there should be all the room you need for your road-trip luggage. For extra big moves, the cabin opens up to an ample 67 cubic feet with all the seats folded down - giving you plenty of room to work with.
