Just signed up, and wanted to say hi from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Just pulled the trigger on a lease for a 2016 Murano Platinum in Gun Metal. Loving it so far. If I'm not mistaken, our Muranos differ from yours in that we can't add packages to our models. I could be mistaken, but I've read some threads from people talking about adding tech packages, etc to their model when they bought it - that's not available to us. Anywho, happy Tuesday!
Thanks! Love it, so far. In Canada, you're right. Build and price one on nissanusa.com. You can add the tech package that comes standard to we Canadians. That was standard on mine - well, standard, but built into the price ...
Maybe a misunderstanding in how you worded your sentence, but we don't buy a base level and then add packages at the dealership. The dealerships have a variety of Muranos with different packages on the lot ready to go. There are dealer options you can add, but packages are built at the plant. The Platinum level is one that has all the "packages".
Was poorly worded. We don't have packages, per se. On the lot in Canada, if you buy a Platinum, for example, you're automatically getting the "tech package". There's no option to buy a Platinum without the tech package. I.E. You can't get a platinum without Power Panoramic Moonroof, Forward Emergency Braking, Intelligent Cruise Control, and Predictive Forward Collision Warning. But we also can't add these as a "Technology Package" to the SL. Adding that package to an SL? It's a Platinum!
Your Platinum comes fully loaded with all factory installed options in Canada. In the US, you have some different ways to option out the vehicle. Not sure of this is good or not so good. I would have preferred my Platinum to be only front wheel drive as opposed to the mandatory all wheel drive.
But, that's the way we have to buy them.
