Remember the Nissan Murano? The first and second generations of the 350Z-engined SUV were offered over here in the UK, but it was eventually pulled in 2011 due to poor sales. Turns out the Murano didn’t die completely though – it has soldiered on in North America and China, and now there’s a new one.

Yep, this is the fourth-gen Murano, and it’s actually quite handsome compared to its toothy predecessors. Nissan says it has been designed to its theme of ‘energetic elegance’ and there’s more than a hint of Ariya in its clean looks. There’s two-tone paint, a full-width rear lightbar, 21in wheels and many daytime running lights that flank a large front grille.

The new gen Murano is actually 6.6cm wider than the previous car and inside we’re promised more shoulder space than before. More legroom too thanks to slimmer front seats.

The interior is also very Ariya-like, with a capacitive-touch panel for the climate controls and twin 12.3in screens for the dial display and the infotainment. Said infotainment features Google built-in for maps and other apps. The interior colour themes are apparently inspired by “the inimitable light quality of golden hour experienced along the Californian coast”. Right.

Nissan says the new Murano also adds its Captain America-sounding ‘Nissan Safety Shield’ as standard, and there’s a load of new active safety tech.

Sadly though, it no longer gets a V6 under its bonnet. A 2.0-litre four-pot turbo sends 241bhp and 260lb ft of torque through a nine-speed auto to either just the front wheels or all four if you’ve specced the SL or Platinum trims.

So, the Murano lives on. Should Nissan consider bringing it back to Europe?
