• On sale: Now
• Which should you buy, 2012 or 2013? If Nissan’s new safety features appeal, the 2013.

Just like the redesigned-for-2013 Altima sedan, the Murano gets a host of newly available safety features for 2013. Aside from the new optional equipment, Nissan’s midsize crossover and its base price carry over unchanged; higher trim versions jump slightly in price. 

The Murano is again available in S, SV, SL and LE trims in two- and all-wheel drive. Newly optional on SL and LE versions is Nissan’s Safety Shield technology. It includes several camera-based safety systems like Moving Object Detection, blind spot warning and lane departure warning systems. The Safety Shield features are part of the Navigation Package for SL models ($2,100) and Platinum Edition package for LE models ($2,350).

The 2013 Murano is on sale now. There’s no word yet on 2013 pricing for the slow-selling Murano CrossCabriolet. However, Nissan spokesman Brian Brockman told Cars.com that the automaker plans to make a 2013 version of the convertible.
