Five-Point Inspection: 2015 Nissan Murano Platinum AWD

5. Numbers

The range-topping all-wheel-drive Platinum model I evaluated cost $43,995 including $885 in shipping fees. Given this trim level’s lofty starting price, which is north of 40 grand, there were only two options that increased its sticker. One was the technology package ($2,260), which adds things like a panoramic moonroof as well as intelligent cruise control; the other was floor mats and a cargo area protector ($210).

Now, if a top-of-the line model is too rich for your blood you can always opt for a more sensible version. Base price for and entry-level S model a whisker more than $30,000 including destination. At that level you still get a generous amount of premium features including things like push-button start, a display screen in the instrument cluster, dual-zone climate control and more. And let’s not forget, its polarizing exterior design comes standard.
