It looks like Nissan isn't ready to give up on its personal-luxury-sporty-but-practical crossover just yet. A spy photographers near Metro Detroit snapped these shots of the next-generation Nissan Murano out and about on public roads, albeit wearing heavy camouflage. As buyers shift more toward off-road-inspired utility vehicles, models like the Nissan Murano and its most direct rival, the Ford Edge, find themselves in an increasingly unpopular segment of the market. The Murano has fallen from a sales peak of nearly 87,000 units in 2016 to just over 30,000 last year. While we can't tell too much from these spy shots, and regardless of its current market position, it doesn't look like Nissan will be altering the Murano formula too much as it readies this round of updates.
