日产间接宣布将在两周后开幕的日内瓦车展发布下一代楼兰。日产表示将利用下月的车展展示“日产富有活力跨界车家族的新成员”，这里所指的新成员只能是2015款楼兰。先前曾有传言称，日产将在4月的纽约车展发布新款楼兰，但现在看来不必再等一个多月就能看到这辆新款中级跨界车，它的很多造型元素都取自Resonance概念车。第三代楼兰将很可能与Altima共享相同结构并与老款车保持基本一致的三维尺寸。该车动力传动系统预计包括一台升级版3.5升V6引擎并搭配CVT变速器，另外有可能推出插电混动版本，而它的技术则借鉴自Pathfinder混动版，预计该车搭载一台2.5升机械增压汽油引擎和一台电机，最大功率为186千瓦/250马力，扭矩329牛米。另外，据说由于市场需求低迷，日产将砍掉造型怪异的楼兰CrossCabriolet敞篷车。

 

2015 Nissan Murano confirmed for Geneva reveal

Nissan has indirectly announced the next generation of the Murano will be introduced in a couple of weeks at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.

 

The Japanese marque says at the Swiss show next month they will exhibit the "next member of Nissan's rejuvenated crossover family" which can only mean they are referring to the 2015 Murano. Previous rumors indicated an April reveal at the New York Auto Show but it seems we won't have to wait that long for what will be a mid-size crossover with styling cues taken from the Resonance concept.

 

The third generation of the Nissan Murano will likely utilize the same architecture as the Altima and will keep roughly the same physical dimensions as the outgoing model. Under the hood it is expected to receive an uprated 3.5-liter V6 linked to a CVT while a plug-in hybrid derivative is also a possibility with the technology borrowed from the Pathfinder Hybrid where the system churns 250 bhp (186 kW) and 329 Nm (243 lb-ft) from a 2.5-liter supercharged gasoline engine and an electric motor.

 

On a final note, Nissan has allegedly decided to axe the weird Murano CrossCabriolet due to slow demand.
