Nissan has revealed that its all-new Murano SUV will, for the foreseeable future, be produced in left-hand-drive only - ruling out any immediate chance of an Australian launch.
Revealed around this time last year, the new Murano was initially locked in for an Australian launch, with a late 2015 debut confirmed in a 2013 interview with TMR and again at the time of the new model’s unveiling.
Australian-delivered models were expected to be built at the same Mississippi plant that builds those bound for the North American market.
Speaking with TMR today, however, Nissan Australia’s Peter Fadeyev could confirm only that the Murano’s overwhelming popularity in the US has moved the carmaker to reserve the plant’s production capacity to left-hand-drive.
