Nissan Murano

The Murano is Nissan’s midsize crossover that receives its first redesign as an early 2009 model after skipping the 2008 model year. The Murano was first introduced as a 2003 model is named after the elegant sculpted glass art that comes from the islands near Venice, a tribute to the dramatic exterior and interior styling of the Murano. Nissan's first crossover SUV, the Murano combines the desirable attributes of a truck-based SUV, such as cargo capacity, ride height and available all-wheel drive, with the refinement, handling, and ride comfort of a sedan.


The all-new 2009 Nissan Murano receives new exterior and interior styling while retaining its distinctive look. Powered by a 265-horsepower version of Nissan’s VQ-Series 3.5-liter V6 engine, Murano receives the second-generation Xtronic CVT with Adaptive Shift Control. The Murano is based on the same D platform as the 2007 Altima which provides a solid foundation and new lighter suspension components with increased stiffness. Available features include a dual-panel power sliding moonroof and second-row skylight, a new foldaway cargo organizer, heated front and rear seats, power liftgate, power return rear seat and RearView Monitor.

Nissan Frontier


The Frontier is Nissan’s midsize truck, available as either King Cab or Crew Cab with 2WD or 4WD. Nissan became the first automaker to sell a compact pickup truck in the U.S. in 1959 under the Datsun name. The 1998 Frontier was Nissan’s first pickup redesign in ten years and the first pickup to have a Nissan name. A 4-door Crew Cab was added in 2000 and in 2001, it was redesigned with bold exterior styling and an available supercharged engine. For 2005 Nissan introduced the current-generation Frontier, which is bigger and more powerful, moving up to the midsize truck category.





The 2008 Nissan Frontier receives a number of updates including new packages. The Technology Package offers an upgraded sound system with an auxiliary jack, steering-wheel audio controls, Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System, XM Satellite Radio, Nissan Immobilizer and Vehicle Security System. Also newly available are the XE Preferred Package, a standard Appearance Package for King Cab SE 4-cylinder models, a standard Utility Bed Package on NISMO models and a new finish for the 16-inch NISMO wheels. Other updates include a power cloth driver’s seat for the LE trims and a new Beige interior color

The 2008 Altima Hybrid is a 4-door, 5-passenger family sedan, available in one trim only, the HEV. Upon introduction, the Altima Hybrid is equipped with a standard 2.5-liter, I4, 158-horsepower, hybrid engine that achieves 35-mpg in the city and 33-mpg on the highway. A variable speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.
The Nissan Altima Hybrid is a 5-passenger midsize sedan that offers all the style, convenience, and technology features as the gasoline version but with benefits of enhanced fuel economy and reduced emissions. In September 2002, Nissan and Toyota signed a basic agreement in which Toyota will supply Nissan with the hybrid system components (transaxle, inverter, battery, and control unit) allowing Nissan to produce 100,000 hybrid vehicles within a five-year period. Nissan will be supplying the gasoline engine and electric motor which means that the Altima Hybrid will drive quite differently than the Toyota Prius.
