Crossover into Comfort with a Nissan Rogue or Murano

Nissan’s reputation for spirited yet reliable vehicles is perfectly exemplified in two of its popular crossover SUVs: the Nissan Rogue and the Nissan Murano. Just ask the critics. The 2017 Nissan Rogue earned the coveted Consumer Guide® Automotive Best Buy Award in the compact crossover/SUV category. And the 2017 Nissan Murano was honored as U.S. News & World Report’s Best Two-Row SUV for the Money.

But which crossover speaks to your soul? That’s an entirely different matter to examine.

Nissan Rogue vs. Nissan Murano: Exploring the Unknown

2017 Nissan Rogue

Imagine this…

You happen upon a 2017 Nissan Rogue in the wild. Intrigued, you approach the compact crossover SUV cautiously and see a sign in the window: “This majestic beast is now yours – keys are in the car. Enjoy the ride.”

Aha! Miracles do happen, you think to yourself as you slowly open the front seat and peer into the cabin. You gasp as you see what lies inside –

Roomy front row outfitted with available quilted leather-appointments. A Piano Black trim enhanced by metallic accents. You waste no time and sink into the front seat. Your hands caress the available leather-wrapped steering wheel. This is my destiny, you think.

You rev up the car and hear the engine purr. Luckily for you, you memorize engine specs in your free time (who doesn’t?), and the 2017 Rogue’s impressive stats come rushing back to you: 2.5L DOHC 4-cylinder … 170 horsepower … 175 lb.-ft. of torque … up to 33 mpg on the highway.

You sigh with blissful contentment before you turn your head to the back.

Your eyes stray over the spacious back seat and trunk area, sizing it up. Hm, must be up to 70 cu. ft. of cargo space back there, you estimate, and what do you know – you’re right on the money.

A soft smile on your face, you accept your new Rogue lifestyle and put the car in drive. Your journey is only just beginning.

Reality sets in…

Unfortunately, nobody left a new Nissan Rogue out in the woods for you to stumble upon. But don’t worry – you can find your own at Martin Nissan in Skokie, Illinois. Explore the new Nissan Rogue for sale near you, and check out our inventory.

2017 Nissan Murano

Imagine this…

You’re wandering about, minding your own business, whistling a tune or two when there it is: the 2017 Nissan Murano. An untamed stallion in the wild – could it be?, you ask as you inspect the mid-size crossover SUV.

Sleek, sloping lines, crisp front grille stylings. “A real beaut,” you mutter to yourself as you pick up the sign tucked into the windshield wipers: “Keys in the car. Take good care of this gal – she’s one heck of a drive.”

You hear a faint whisper in your ear, Adventure awaits. Rushing to the driver side door, you swing it open and behold your sweet chariot –

You let out a yelp of surprise: Is this a car cabin or a swanky lounge? With spacious head and legroom in both the front and rear row, plush seating surfaces, and sophisticated trimmings, it’s hard to tell. Well, you’re all for going with the flow, so you whip out your fedora and recline the front seat as you hop in.

Now it’s time to give this a real go. You turn the key and close your eyes, reveling in the power of the 260-horsepower 3.5L V6 engine ready to take on the world at full speed.

But your exploration isn’t over yet. You climb back into the wide second row and evaluate the cargo area, which conveniently has its dimensions marked for you –

A quick calculation and you got it: 69.6 cu. ft. of maximum cargo volume. Add in the 1,500 lbs. of towing capacity, and you’ve got all the space you need to conquer the world.

What are you waiting for? You scramble back into the front seat and take a deep breath – time to put the pedal to the metal.

Reality sets in…

Your fairy carmother has not squirreled away a new Murano in the wilderness just for you. But fear not! There is a Nissan Murano for sale near you. Go ahead – treat yourself, and browse our inventory.
