The 2006 Nissan Murano has received the prestigious Saudi Auto “4X4 of the year 2006” award, beating stiff competition in its class from major auto manufacturers.
The Nissan Murano was found by an experienced panel of ten jurors as the best SUV incorporating luxury and off-road capabilities in perfect harmony. “The Murano cross-over has been a great hit in the region,” said Takeshi Nakajima, Deputy Managing Director at Nissan Middle East, “offering luxurious interior and exterior design and performs exceptionally well on and off-road. We are very proud to have the Murano recognized as best in class and to receive this very special award from such a reputable specialized publication in the industry.”
The Murano and competition were judged on a flurry of categories, including general design, comfort, safety, fuel economy, handling and road worthiness, performance, functionality, innovations, driver satisfaction, value for money and a host of other categories.
The 2006 Nissan Murano features the award winning Nissan VQ 6 cylinder engine, 12 time winner on “Ward’s 10 Best Engines” list, Xtronic CVT transmission, all-mode 4X4 for off-road capability, digital Bose audio system with in-dash 6-CD changer and 225 watts speaker output.
