2015 Nissan Murano First Look: Live Photos

The Nissan Murano wasn’t one of the first crossovers on the market nor is it one of the segment’s top sellers, but since its introduction in 2002, it has always been proof that crossovers don’t have to look cute or boxy. For 2015, there’s more of the same in store for the mid-size crossover as Nissan unveiled the third-gen Murano ahead of its official debut at the New York Auto Show.

Nissan previewed the 2015 Murano with last year’s Resonance Concept, and it carried over most of the concept’s styling cues to the production design including the blacked-out D-pillars, which give the roofline a tricky reverse-cantilever look. Large front fender arches, deep body creases and the boomerang-style headlights and taillights help ensure that the new Murano continues to boasts one of the boldest designs in the Nissan lineup. As much as the Murano’s styling stands out in the Nissan lineup, the V-shaped grille makes it look right at home against fellow utility vehicles like the Pathfinder and Rogue.
