When the original Nissan Murano was introduced in 2002, it was one of a number of car-based crossover vehicles that helped build the mid-size family SUV category. What that original model had was a unique take on design that made it stand out from the crowd. Here we are in 2015 and Nissan wants to recapture some of that original sizzle with this third generation Murano. With a bold, eye-popping design that looks like nothing on the road, this latest model has a sharper price, an upscale interior and refined ride that Nissan believes will appeal to the baby boomers this vehicle is targeted at. After spending a very full day driving around California’s Napa valley, I believe that this new product has an even larger possible market than just baby boomers. Looks Since the 2015 Nissan Murano is just about to hit dealership floors, the Napa region was the first in North America to get to see it. By the reaction from other drivers on the road, this mid-sized people mover gets a lot of attention. The bold front design now incorporates the headlamp treatment that will start to migrate across its other vehicles, like the new Maxima coming soon. The wedge shaped look is referred to as a boomerang and it is mimicked in the rear lights as well. Both the front and rear have LED accents and the main headlamps are LED on the top trim levels. The other design highlight is the roof, that looks like it is floating thanks to a blacked out rear windows and roof pillars. This design also features curvaceous rear hips, making the design modern and stylish. Now sold as front wheel drive (FWD) or allwheel drive (AWD), and priced from $29,998, the Murano is an option for many potential buyers. It is too bad that only the top Platinum model comes with 20-inch wheels, all the other trim levels are fitted with 18-inch wheels. Inside The interior is a reason that many people will consider this product, not just affluent baby boomers. The design is simple but looks upmarket; the Murano might be an alternative to buying a Lexus RX350, for less money, or a young family wanting something more upscale than a compact SUV, for not much more money. The dash and surrounding materials all looks first rate. The trim that looks like wood isn’t, rather a plastic that mimics wood but some might think it feels cheap but it certainly looks good. The base $29,998 (FWD) S-Trim isn’t base at all thanks to heated front seats, Bluetooth, navigation, backup camera and satellite radio. The next model up is the $32,998 (FWD) SV and it adds a power driver’s seat, huge moon roof, a power lift gate and heated steering wheel. There is also the $38,398 (AWD) SL that includes leather seats, Bose stereo and more or the top $43,498 (AWD) platinum that amps up the goodies to include heated rear seats, cooled front seats, 20-inch wheels and a host of safety features. Drive The 260hp 3.5L V6 engine is a carry over from the last model but the body of the new Murano is 66kg lighter. This and a modified continuously variable transmission (CVT) helps to improve fuel economy to 11.2L/100km in the city and 8.3L/100km on the highway, using the new, stricter fuel ratings for 2015. The tuning of the Murano is very relaxed, almost luxury-like. The steering is very easy to operate; some might find it too light. The pace at which the CVT works is very subdued, meaning the car wants to be in the low RPM range to help extract the best economy but when pushed it can take a while to wake the car up. To get around this there are now set shift points in the CVT that can be accessed through the transmission’s manual mode. It would be better to have a sport setting for the CVT but it isn’t offered. Verdict Overall the packaging of the 2015 Murano is very good. The interior has plenty of room for the front and rear passengers and the seats are comfortable. The cargo area is very big and the square shape of the hatch makes loading easier. This product should be attractive to buyers of compact SUVs that want more room and V6 power for just slightly more. Shoppers of premium brands who want a refined ride and interior for less money should consider the higher trim levels. This new Murano will certainly get attention for its exterior styling, but dig deeper there is more to this product than just an attractive look, there is value and comfort that is available to a wide range of potential buyers. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Yes, winter weather has arrived early this year, but there are some clever new products available designed to make life with an auto less stressful and safer in sub-zero temperatures. Ranging in price from $9.99 to $159.99 these products could also be a great Christmas gift for just about anyone who drives. Working with its suppliers, Canadian Tire has helped develop some new auto products that Getting stuck in a address winter driving problems. They’re as basic as scratch-proof friend’s snow-covered snow and ice removal tool that’s driveway can be easier on your car’s paintwork embarrassing, getting to a compact and light-weight emergency traction aid that could stuck on the side of a be a life-saver. lonely highway is far The Garant EVA Snowbrush more serious! has a bristle-free brush with a foam head that’s less abrasive on Bob McHugh vehicle paintwork. It addresses the negative feedback from customers about conventional snowbrushes and it’s sold in two sizes. The 28-inch brush retails for $15.99 and the 36-inch brush retails for $19.99. Getting stuck in a friend’s snow-covered driveway can be embarrassing, getting stuck on the side of a lonely highway is far more serious! The Trac Grabber Car Traction Aid ($39.99) is not a replacement for conventional chains, as it’s not intended for highway driving use. Easy to use and quick fitting, this traction aid is also far lighter and easier to store in a vehicle than tire chains. A truck version ($49.99) of the Trac Grabber Car Traction Aid is also available. Sold in pairs, a Trac Grabber is attached to each drive wheel, similar to a tire chain (but is much easier to use). It’s designed to supply provide enough traction to release a car (stuck in snow or mud) and get it back on the highway (where it should be removed). Another good auto safety gift idea is the MotoMaster Eliminator Tripod Light ($29.99). This multi-function light has an articulating head with red LED emergency light and fold-put tripod legs that extend for additional stability when placed on the road to warn drivers that they are approaching a broken-down vehicle. It also features a powerful lithium-ion rechargeable battery. Good vision when driving is very important in cold weather. If you have to park you’re vehicle outside overnight, the Subzero ArcticGuard Snow and Ice Windshield Cover ($9.99) is an inexpensive investment. A hook system secures it inside the car, however, users do complain about it flapping in strong winds. You may also consider upgrading your current headlights to SilverStar Ultra Lights ($59.99). They promise up to 50 percent brighter light with up to 40 percent more down-road illumination than standard halogen lights. New wiper blades can also make a big improvement in driver vision and a set of Bosch Icon Wipers cost from $24.99 to $25.99. This premium dual-rubber synthetic product claims to last 40 per cent longer than other blades. If you have a fear of running out of fuel, or a friend who does it regularly or you simply want a peace-of-mind back-up supply of gas for a long driving trip, Spare Fuel ($19.99) is a non-flammable gasoline derivative that is safe to store in the trunk. It’s safe to use in all engines that use unleaded gasoline, comes with filler tube and it can be stored in your vehicle all-year-round. The most common winter auto emergency is a dead battery. Yes, you could carry a set of jumper cables and hope that you can get a boost from another vehicle, but that’s not always easy or possible. Another solution is the Noco Genius Mini Booster, GB30 ($159.99). It may seem a little pricey, but this compact yet surprisingly powerful lithium-ion jump starter pack is mistake-proof and multi-functional. Offering 400 peak amps it can provide up to seven jump-starts on a single charge. It’s also a seven-mode LED flashlight and it can be used as a portable recharge (USB) dock for other electronic devices.

Gifts to fill a truck lover’s stocking
There’s plenty of gift options for the truck owner on your shopping list.
One week left until Christmas, which sure came quickly. If you, like me, thought you still had lots of time to buy presents, then you can officially start to panic. In a bid to ease that terror, I have listed some of the new truck products that came out this year. Smittybuilt has many offroad items for under $50. R.U.T Utility tool is a foldable military style shovel that has a serrated edge and a double position neck. Storage bag included $20.89. U.F.O is a safety light that is actually an emergency flare with visibility up to a mile with a built in flashlight. It is waterproof and comes complete with a high capacity lithium battery. $25.69. Have you ever hit the trail and do nothing but rub the dust away from your eyes. Trail goggles will come in handy, made from high impact material, three interchangeable lenses (yellow/clear/gray), antifog, anti-scratch and only $28.19. Rigid industries are the makers of popular LED off-road lights. Many new models have come out lately including curved versions that work perfectly over the windshield. Sizes range from 20” all the way up to 54” and mounting brackets are available. Price ranges from $924 $2149. Is cold weather affecting your battery’s ability to hold a charge? – CTEK has a battery charger kit that regulates how much power it gives to the battery and automatically slows down when fully charge. It stands by only giving power when required to maintain your battery for a longer life. For people having difficulty climbing in and out of their truck, power boards that open automatically when the door is opened would be a muchappreciated gift. Close the door and they tuck up

nicely out of the way. They are made from carbon steel and have a built in anti-pitch safety feature that senses pressure to keep the board from retracting on your hands and feet. $1,325. Snow is coming and what better way to get it off your driveway than a Snowsport plow. It is an easy to install with a front receiver hitch. Self-adjusting and does not require cab controls. The Snowsport is a quick and easy solution to snow clearing. $1,816 - $2,205. Winter debris melting from your car can make a mess of anyone’s garage floor. Tapson has garage mats that are designed to keep mud, slush and other debris from depositing on your floor. Easy to slide outside and hose off and you’re ready to go again. Available in two sizes 7’ 4” x 18’ 4” and 7’ 4” x 21’ 4” - $289.09 - $317.69 Fabtech is a suspension company and is very popular with the off-road community. They have built a unique item that will appeal a wide range of people. It is a 38,000 BTU propane barbecue made to look like a mechanics toolbox. Door slides upon to access a propane tank and the top opens like a traditional grille. Check it out at Fabtech.com ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca
