Pricing announced for the 2009 Nissan Murano

Last month, I reviewed the first of the 2009 SUVs, the 2009 Nissan Murano. Nissan wasn't yet ready to reveal the details of pricing for the new Murano at the time, but they have finally made up their minds.

Shockingly, Nissan has announced that Murano prices will be $1,500 lower for 2009 on all trims vs. the previous generation. Here's how it breaks down:

• S 2WD: $26,330
• SL 2WD: $27,880
• S AWD: $27,930
• SL AWD: $29,480
• LE AWD: $35,910

That pricing should keep Murano very competitive, especially with the incremental changes and improvements in the 2009 model.
