2013 Murano - Nissan Murano

Avocado · 06-29-2012, 09:23 PM

I'm on my second Murano a 2009 LE and want to buy a new one. Love the vehicle. Dealers have no information on the new 2013. I'm looking to get the blind spot monitor, the all around camera and ventilated seats. I don't care if not much else is updated. I looked at the new Infiniti JX35 which is a stretched Murano. It is beautiful and loaded with all great options but it is too big for my use. I'm getting concerned I cannot get any information and am fearful Nissan will not be making any improvements and I'll be forced to move on to another brand. BTW, I really appreciate the service department of my dealer and would miss them. Does anyone have any idea what's happening with the new 2013?

I haven't heard or seen anything about the 13 Murano yet. They are releasing quite a number of other models...

What about the Infiniti EX35 or FX35? You would still get to use the same service department...

I don't think you are going to see much of a change in the MO until 2014. And everything you mentioned, Nissan basically reserves for their Infiniti brand. I doubt you see those on the MO or even the 2013 Pathfinder.

Avocado - my wife and I are in almost the same boat. We need to buy a new vehicle and like all the tech in the JX but don't need anything larger than a Murano. Same issue with the new Pathfinder which shares the JX platform...The Nissan site confirms that the 2013 Pathfinder WILL HAVE cooled and heated front seats, all around view monitor but no mention of blind spot warning (although I would be surprised if they are not there - I doubt it will the active blind spot system that is optional in the JX but I suspect it will at least have the warning lights.)....so what to do? I hope by the time the Pathfinder is available in Sept. we'll have some idea if the Murano is going to get a tech "freshening" as she would prefer the Murano. I hate to buy one knowing the Pathfinder and even the new Altima has all the latest toys.

You'll most likely have to wait till 2014 boys.

With one year left on the 2nd Gen Murano I'd have to agree. BTW, the Rogue has the all around view parking assist.

Yeah, but the Rogue is a little wienie car!

Drove the FX35 over the weekend and absolutely loved it. Now thinking about moving up to that or the new FX37 over the Murano. Just trying to figure out if its worth the extra $$.

The mention of having to possibly wait for the 2014 to see a freshened Murano wouldn't surprise me I guess.

If you can afford the FX then definitely go for it! I miss RWD! (after 6 years of having a 350z)

Remember that the '09 Murano came out in April of 2008 and the '07 was sold until then. There was no 2008. So maybe the '12 will be sold until April of '13 and the 2014 will be introduced at that time.

With the Tsunami they had early last year, I think most Japanese new models will be delayed. Personally expect the 3rd Generation to be out mid 2014 (another 2 more years they'll change the rear lights from chrome touch to Gold touch LOL

The Smyrna factory won't begin assembling the crossover until sometime in 2014, in time for the vehicle's redesign, according to Automotive News.

Not good news!

Why not? Confirms a new model in 2014 and made locally in the US.

Benefits the US economy, so a good thing I believe.
