Car Review - 2011 Nissan Murano

Nissan-Murano-2011
Car Review - 2011 Nissan Murano; The Nissan Murano 2011 is updated with a redesigned grille, new front bumper, new taillights and new 18-inch aluminum alloy. Inside the Murano adds new color and finish of the center console wood grain new Murano LE. The redesigned 2009 Murano, Nissan Murano 2011 has a nicer interior, standard ESC, and a more comfortable ride. Its 3.5-liter V6 is powerful and offers respectable fuel economy. The management remains flexible and secure. The interior is elegant and functional. However, limited rear visibility, and the premium fuel recommended major drawbacks. IIHS crash test results are impressive.

Paul Hagger: It's true that the Nissan Murano is a worthy competitor to the best-in-class small SUVs, but I was surprised to find it less sporty than its Infiniti FX35 cousin. The Murano has hints of trucklike ability. The tall sidewalls mean that it wallows a bit in the corners. The engine has the lazy throttle response of one tuned to pull a lot of weight, and you'll need to push the gas pedal down quite far when you want the Murano to accelerate briskly. The interior is definitely not trucklike, though. The seats are comfortable, the materials are very nice and there's plenty of space. The Nissan Murano should be on your short list, along with the Ford Edge and the Kia Sorrento. @car review

Nissan's Murano was one of the first crossover SUVs, and it continues to be one of the best at combining the attributes of an SUV with the driving dynamics of a sport sedan. Based on the same platform as the midsize Altima sedan, the Murano is balanced and responsive, making it a great all-around vehicle for practical, everyday use. Powered by Nissan's award-winning 3.5-liter V6 engine, the Murano has plenty of get-up-and-go, and the continuously variable transmission works well in this application. I also like the new design — it is fresh but remains true to the original — and the interior is well thought-out, skewing more upscale than the outgoing model. –Mike Meredith

Perry Stern: It can not be crazy about the look of the Murano, but it is one of the best five-passenger crossover on the market. The cargo area offers a wide range of public services, and the rear seat can actually handle three without feeling terribly close. And unlike many crosses, the Murano is really fun to drive. There are a lot of energy on tap, and continuously variable transmission is one of the best in the business, trying to keep the engine in the sweet spot for better performance. I do not expect the CVT would also improve fuel economy, but could not get my average over 18 mpg in mixed driving. The handling is difficult for a crossover, but with good management, so an excellent choice for Murano someone in the crossover market that needs a little more, but I do not want to go to a 7-seater model. @car review

Nissan produces 100,000 Micra cars in India

Nissan has produced 100,000 Micra cars in India. The employees of the company celebrated the occasion at the Renault Nissan Alliance plant in Chennai. The first Micra compact hatchback rolled off the production line in May 2010. Since then the workforce has expanded to nearly 4,000 (from an original 1,500) to meet demand from within India and across the world.

The 45-billion Rupee (990 Mn USD) facility is the first dedicated Renault-Nissan Alliance vehicle manufacturing plant, and the 4th generation of the Micra is the first model to be produced there. It will be joined later this year by the new Sunny sedan, and in 2012 a commercial vehicle will be added to the line-up as part of a joint venture with Ashok Leyland Ltd.

Since its launch in India last July the Nissan Micra has driven a sales boost within the market, with over 15,000 units sold to date. The Micra is also produced at plants in Thailand, Mexico and China.

Chennai, which will have an overall plant capacity of 400,000 units at full ramp up, will ultimately supply Micra to over 100 countries across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. To date nearly 70,000 units have been shipped from the nearby Ennore deep water port.

Gilles Normand, Nissan Corporate Vice President for Africa, the Middle East and India, commented: “I would like to congratulate everyone associated with the Chennai plant on reaching what will be the first of many production milestones.

“The plant, which provides us with a skilled and localised production base, is a key part of our strategy for profitable and sustainable growth within India, and Micra’s success is only the first step in realising our potential within this market.

“Chennai is also crucial in terms of manufacturing high-volume, high-quality products for export to many world markets. With the continued strong support of the Tamil Nadu government, I hope that the facility will develop into one of Nissan’s most important production hubs.”

Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf: Obama wants one million electric cars on the US road in 2015

Chevrolet-Volt
Chevrolet  Volt and Nissan Leaf: Obama wants one million electric cars on the US road in 2015; A Million Electric Vehicles: Back in January, during his State of the Union speech, President Obama said that he wanted the U.S. to “become the first country to have one million electric cars on the US road,” and he wanted it to happen by 2015. Given current sales of the Chevrolet  Volt and Nissan Leaf, the president may hit his target . . . sometime in 2064.

Nissan-Leaf

In May, U.S. car sales for the much-hyped Chevrolet Volt totaled 481. Nissan Leaf did better, with 1,142 units sold. That’s a grand total of 1,623 electric cars sold for the month. At that torrid rate, it will take about 639 months, or a bit more than 53 years, for domestic sales of electric cars to reach 1 million.

Obama wants electric cars by 2015, but 2064 is a more realistic estimate.

Nissan Global Sedan aka Sunny By 2011 Followed By Innova Killer : Official

After the Nissan Sunny or the Global Sedan been repeatedly been spotted in the country, Today to Kiminobu Tokuyama, Nissan Motor India Managing Director and CEO, confirmed the news that the global sedan aka Nissan Sunny will be in the market this year. Nissan not only plans one but two cars one of which is the global sedan while the other car is the car the nation is waiting for, a perfect competition to the Toyota camps hot seller Innova. Till now we have had no perfect combination apart from the M&M Scorpio to take over the Innova. As diamond cuts diamond, the Japanese Nissan will prove to be a competition to the Japanese Toyota.

Talking about the Global Sedan aka Sunny Mr Kiminobu Tokuyama said that the sedan will be based on the Nissan Micra, which will be launched in China first and will be manufactured in Chennai plant for the Indian market. The Sedan will be launched by 2011.

We have already speculated the engine options for the Sunny which will be powered by two engine options in India. There will be one 1.5-litre four cylinder petrol engine, producing around 100bhp of peak power. Then there will be the 1.5-litre dCI which powers the Logan as well as the Nissan Micra diesel. Reasonably powerful and very torquey, this diesel mill is very fuel efficient too.

The Global Sedan aka Sunny can be a real game changer if Nissan prices it well. It can prove to be a pain in the back for many sedans in the entry level and can be Nissans answer to Toyota Etios, VW Vento, Ford Fiesta, Fiat Linea, & Tata Manza.

Nissan working on Alto and WagonR rivals for India

If you thought that the Micra is the end of Nissan’s small car story for India for now, you’re wrong. The company knows very well that the Indian market is all about small cars, and plans to launch two more small cars below the Micra to strengthen its product portfolio for India.
ACI reveals that Nissan plans to utilise the old Micra platform to cut down costs and prepare a  model which will compete with the likes of the WagonR and Santro. Codenamed K2, the new car is slated for a launch in late 2012 and would be priced in the region of Rs 3.5 lakh. Engine options will include the 1.2 litre three cylinder mill that powers the Micra as well as a new 1.0 litre engine which is expected to be very fuel efficient.
The car will be made for the Indian as well as the export market. There will be two versions, a short and a long wheelbase one. The LWb version will be sent out to export markets, while the SWB version will do duty here. There will also be an MPV version to cater to the Indonesian market.
Another car to hit our roads from the Nissan stable would be an even cheaper hatchback. Codenamed I2, the new car will take the challenge directly to the industry leading Alto. Tested by Defiance Testing and Engineering, a US company is owned by Ashok Leyland, which is a JV partner of Nissan in India. A major part of R&D for the Alto rival will be carried out in India, the price will be kept low at Rs 2.5 lakh and will be launched sometime in 2013.

Nissan V Platform sedan ‘Sunny’ unveiled

UPDATE 2: Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. has unveiled the new Global Sedan model (the V platform sedan, known to us as the Sunny till now) at the 8th China (Guangzhou) International Automobile Exhibition. The name Sunny, however will be used only for the Chinese market for now. The car, which is the second product spawning out of Nissan’s versatile V platform will be first introduced in China in January 2011, and will later go to 170 countries, of which Indian is also going to be one of the most important markets.

Mr. Kiminobu Tokuyama, Managing Director & CEO, Nissan Motor India Pvt. Ltd. (NMIPL) said, “Following the success of our first locally made car –the Nissan Micra, we are happy to reveal the first visuals of the second car to be produced in India.
