Nissan Murano. The new Nissan Murano invokes strong emotions. Its provocative design is a head-turner, but while many vehicles in the segment are offering three rows of seating, it has remained resolutely a five-seater even after a serious re-design for the 2009 model year. Style rather than passenger-carrying capacity is the Muranos calling card, and the Murano was one of the first crossovers to take this tack. The Ford Edge and Mazda CX-7 are other vehicles playing in this sandbox.
