The Nissan Murano is a great crossover – but the one thing it has been missing is a diesel engine with a shedload of torque. However, this all changes in September 2010, with the addition of a diesel engine to the line-up becoming available. The introduction of the diesel version comes just as Nissan will introduce the fourth member of its Crossover line-up, the Juke, and soon after the introduction of the revised Qashqai.
An enhanced version of Nissan’s 2.5 dCi four cylinder engine, has been fitted to the Murano, giving a combination of effortless torque, refinement and reduced consumption and emissions, in line with the European market trend. This YD25 engine from Nissan’s range has recently benefitted from comprehensive upgrades in advance of its fitment in Murano.
When fitted to the Murano, the engine produces 190PS and 450Nm of torque, with a torque and power curve which means that the performance is smooth and serene thanks to the torquey nature of the engine, perfectly complementing the Murano’s character. The engine is equipped with a diesel particle filter (DPF), helping Murano to achieve EURO5 emission standards.
