2009-14 Nissan Murano

The redesigned-for-2009 Murano is a likable SUV that has retained that model's secure handling, comfortable interior, cargo utility, and strong, refined powertrain. Midsize SUV shoppers would be [...]

2011-14 Nissan Juke

Radical styling, a peppy turbocharged powertrain, nimble handling, and available all-wheel drive give Nissan's Juke a distinct, sporty personality that stands out among similarly-sized subcompact [...]
