Frontal impact: The protection offered to the driver and passenger head and neck was good. Chest protection for driver was adequate and good for the passenger. Both passenger’s knees showed marginal protection being exposed to reach dangerous structures behind the dashboard, Driver and Passenger tibias show good protection.  The bodyshell was rated as stable. Footwell area is rated as unstable. Side impact: The side chest- pelvis airbags with the curtain airbags offered good protection to the adult in head, chest, abdomen and pelvis. Head received good protection in the side pole impact test.  ESC: is standard equipment. The ESC was tested and its performance met the regulatory requirements of Latin NCAP. All of the above explain the five stars for adult occupant protection. Considering all the above the Murano as from VIN 5N1TANZ52JN100879 (production from October 6 2017) reached the five star result for Adult Occupant Safety.

The child seat for the 3-year-old child was installed forward facing using the ISOFIX anchorages and Top Tether and was able to prevent forward movement beyond the excursion limits during the frontal impact. The Q1.5 was installed rearward facing using the ISOFIX base and support leg and its protection as also good during the frontal impact. Side impact: both child dummies were well protected in the side impact. Most of the CRSs that were assessed for installation pass. The marking and instructions in the car in relation to ISOFIX do not meet Latin NCAP requirements. CRS instructions are clear. The car does not have a passenger airbag disabling switch in case of installing a Rearward facing CRS in the passenger seat. The Murano offers 3-point belts in all seating positions as standard, and all of them meeting technical international standards. All the above explains the three stars in Child Occupant Protection for the Murano as from VIN 5N1TANZ52JN100879 (production from October 6 2017).
