Last week, Popular Science Magazine awarded the 2015 Nissan Murano a “Best of What’s New” Award. This award is the magazine’s top honor and is given to products and technologies that embodies a “significant step forward.” The available technology featured in the new Murano includes Moving Object Detection, Blind Spot Warning and Predictive Forward Collision Warning, all of which are in addition to the style and performance of the Murano.

“Unveiled in 2002, the Murano was a true original – a premium crossover that set the standard for years to come,” said Fred Diaz, senior vice president, Nissan Sales & Marketing and Operations, U.S. “Now, nearly 13 years later, the redesigned Murano is leading the way once again with an incredible balance of style, comfort, innovation and more. With the Murano set to hit dealerships in early December, this award serves as a great vote of confidence that this vehicle is among the best.”

Every year, editors from the magazine pour over thousands of new products, innovations and technologies to determine the 100 best across 12 different categories. All of the winners are then included in its best-selling December “Best of What’s New” issue.

“For 27 years, Popular Science has honored the innovations that surprise and amaze us − those that make a positive impact on our world today and challenge our view of what’s possible in the future,” said Cliff Ransom, editor-in-chief, Popular Science. “The ‘Best of What’s New’ award is the magazine’s top honor, and the 100 winners − chosen from among thousands of entrants − each represent a revolution in its field.”
