Passport vs Murano: Engine Specs & Power

The Passport engine comes paired with the 9-speed Automatic Transmission with Shift-By-Wire and Paddle Shifters, and the engine also includes Variable Cylinder Managementâ„¢, which helps improve efficiency by using just three cylinders during routine driving.
The Murano engine comes mated to the Xtronic CVT® (continuously variable transmission), but doesn’t include a cylinder management system. In terms of output, the Passport generates 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, while the Murano produces 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque.
