Per car by car breakdown, the launch price of the Nissan Murano in the UK will UKP 29,800. In the US (per nissanusa.com) the price ranges from $28,300 to $29,250.
Taking the higher price, and adjusting for taxes and exchange rates (assume $1.8 = 1 UKP, VAT at 17.5% and import duty at 10%, for an overall tax rate of 29.25%):
$29,250 x 1.2925 / 1.8 = UKP 21,000
Thus, not adjusting for differences in spec (I imagine fairly minor), UK buyers are being ripped off to the tune of UKP 8,800, or 42%.
