All versions of the 2019 Nissan Murano available at the Jack Ingram Nissan showroom use the same powertrain. Under the hood of the two-row Nissan crossover SUV is a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter, V-6 engine attached to the Nissan Xtronic continuously variable transmission. It will produce 260 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque. Murano owners can expect the vehicle to achieve 20 miles per gallon in the city and 28 miles per gallon on the highway, regardless if front- or all-wheel-drive is equipped.
The standard powertrain for the 2019 Highlander is a naturally aspirated 2.7-liter, four-cylinder engine attached to a six-speed automatic transmission making 185 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. A V-6 engine is also available on upper trims or as a premium upgrade feature. Both engines come up short in terms of fuel economy scores compared to the 2019 Nissan Murano.
