What sets the 2025 Nissan Murano apart isn’t just a feature list—it’s the feeling it delivers every time you settle into the driver’s seat. From its flowing exterior lines to the way it handles curves and cruises highways, this midsize SUV is all about calm confidence and thoughtful execution. It offers a sophisticated ride quality that strikes a perfect balance between comfort and control, making it ideal for both daily errands and long-distance getaways.

The ride is smooth and composed, absorbing uneven pavement without feeling disconnected. The electric power steering system is dialled in for minimal effort at low speeds and a planted feel on the highway, while sound insulation throughout the cabin keeps the atmosphere tranquil, even when the world outside is not.

Designed Around Comfort and Style

Slip into the cabin and you’re immediately met with a layout that prioritizes human comfort over trend-chasing complexity. The front seats feature Nissan’s Zero Gravity design, which reduces fatigue by supporting your natural posture during extended drives. Heated front seats are standard, with available ventilated front and heated rear seats on higher trims. Every touchpoint feels deliberate, with available leather-appointed seating surfaces, satin chrome accents, and intuitive controls that make the cabin feel upscale without being overwhelming.

Interior spaciousness is another strong suit. Rear-seat passengers benefit from excellent legroom, and the reclining rear seats make longer trips more pleasant for everyone on board. Storage has been intelligently integrated throughout the cabin, with deep door pockets, multiple USB charging ports, and a wide centre console that keeps everyday items within reach.

Cargo flexibility is enhanced with 60/40 split-folding rear seats and a flat load floor that reveals over 1,800 litres of available space when folded. An available motion-activated power liftgate adds convenience for loading groceries, luggage, or weekend gear.

Technology That Seamlessly Connects

Connectivity and convenience are key strengths in the 2025 Murano. All trims come standard with NissanConnect featuring an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and SiriusXM satellite radio. The interface is responsive, easy to navigate, and includes voice control for many functions. USB-A and USB-C ports ensure compatibility across a range of devices, while Bluetooth streaming and hands-free calling are effortlessly integrated.

The SL and Platinum trims introduce built-in navigation with voice recognition, a larger digital driver display, and an 11-speaker Bose premium audio system that fills the cabin with clean, balanced sound. The intelligent Around View Monitor, available on upper trims, uses four cameras to stitch together a 360-degree top-down view of your surroundings—ideal for tight parking spots or navigating cluttered driveways.

Other smart touches include remote engine start with Intelligent Climate Control, memory settings for the driver’s seat and side mirrors, and HomeLink integration for garage and home automation systems. These features don’t just enhance the driving experience—they become part of your daily routine.

A Proven Platform with Capable Performance

Powering the Murano is a robust 3.5-litre V6 engine, tuned to produce 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. It’s an engine known for its durability, smooth operation, and well-rounded performance. Paired with Nissan’s Xtronic CVT, the Murano provides consistent power delivery and minimal engine noise at cruising speeds. Whether you’re merging onto a highway or coasting through traffic, the powertrain stays calm, refined, and ready.

The available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system automatically adjusts torque distribution in response to road conditions. It engages all four wheels during acceleration or when slippage is detected, then reverts to front-wheel drive for optimal efficiency. The result is greater confidence on wet or uneven roads, without any driver input required.

Suspension tuning prioritizes comfort but doesn’t lose its sense of control. Independent struts and rear multi-link suspension with stabilizer bars keep the Murano composed over bumps and during quick directional changes. This ensures that even drivers who typically prefer sedans will feel at home behind the wheel.

Advanced Safety from Every Angle

Every Murano trim comes equipped with Nissan’s Safety Shield® 360, a comprehensive suite of driver assistance features that include Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and Rear Automatic Braking. These systems are active without being intrusive, supporting driver confidence with real-time feedback.

Higher trims also benefit from Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, which uses radar to monitor not just the vehicle in front of you, but the one ahead of that as well. Intelligent Driver Alertness monitors for signs of fatigue or distraction, and alerts you when it’s time to take a break.

Optional ProPILOT Assist merges adaptive cruise control with lane centring to help reduce fatigue during longer commutes or heavy traffic. Combined with high-strength construction and an advanced airbag system, the Murano is built to both prevent incidents and protect in the event of one.

A Trim for Every Lifestyle

The Murano is offered in four thoughtfully configured trims: S, SV, SL, and Platinum. Even the entry-level S includes key safety systems, smartphone connectivity, and heated front seats. The SV adds roof rails, power driver’s seat, and remote start, while the SL introduces navigation, leather seating, and the premium Bose audio system. At the top of the range, the Platinum adds quilted leather, ventilated front seats, ambient lighting, and advanced driver assistance features.

Each trim builds logically on the one before, allowing drivers to find the right balance of luxury, performance, and value without being forced into features they don’t need. From growing families to empty nesters, the Murano’s versatility and refinement make it a compelling choice for those who want more from a midsize SUV.
