Automotive giant Nissan had showcased the Murano Hybrid at the famous Auto Shanghai last April. The North American version of this model is now being sold in the United States (starting at $40,050) and will be likely limited to 600 units only.

Reports suggest that the 2016 Nissan Murano Hybrid will be capable of offering 29 mpg combined (highway-31 mpg and city-28 mpg). On the other hand, the all-wheel-drive version works well for 28 miles/gallon combined.

The 2016 Nissan Murano Hybrid is fitted with a 2.5-liter supercharged four-banger and also offers consistently variable transmission. The car features an electric motor (20 horsepower) which can deliver torque of nearly 118 pound-feet. The Murano Hybrid will give you a decent 249 horsepower and this almost equals the output of a 3.5 L V6 engine.

It seems that Nissan doesn’t have very high expectations as far as the sale of the new Murano Hybrid is concerned. This is why it is planning to produce only 600 units of the vehicle this year. Besides low-production numbers, this new addition can be seen as a distraction from all the green-car news that has been coming out lately (with automakers discontinuing low-selling models).

The 2016 Nissan Murano Hybrid has got its certification from The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). To know more about the latest Nissan vehicles and their features, you can visit the Coast Nissan showroom today!
