2025 Nissan Murano

Three trim levels provide for a range of lifestyles, with the SV, SL, and Platinum trims available for 2025. The complete redesign brings a striking exterior appearance with a wider stance of 78 inches, increased by 2.6 inches compared to its predecessor. The LED headlights create a sophisticated front fascia, complemented by a gloss-black accent piece and an updated grille design. A full-width LED taillight spans the rear, adding to the modern aesthetic. The SV and SL models feature 20-inch black aluminum alloy wheels with aero covers. The range-topping Platinum elevates the look with 21-inch alloy wheels featuring gun metallic covers. The SL and Platinum include a panoramic moon roof for a more enjoyable driving experience.

The 2025 Murano's advancement hinges on the new 2.0-liter 16-valve turbocharged four-cylinder engine, standard across all trims. This innovative Variable-Compression Turbo powertrain generates 241 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 260 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm. Power delivery comes through a new nine-speed automatic transmission, replacing the previous generation's continuously variable transmission for more engaging and responsive performance. Front-wheel drive comes standard on the SV trim, while the SL and Platinum feature all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive remains available as an option on the SV trim for those seeking additional capability in varying weather conditions.

The driving dynamics benefit from a refined suspension setup, which includes an independent strut front suspension with coil springs and an independent multilink rear suspension. Electric power-assisted steering provides precise control and feedback, while Intelligent Trace Control and Active Ride Control work together to improve handling and ride comfort. All trims can tow up to 1,500 pounds when properly equipped.

A practical layout enhances usability with dual 12.3-inch displays, providing seamless access to vehicle information and entertainment features. The standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration ensure hassle-free smartphone connectivity. The SV and SL trims feature leatherette seating, while the Platinum trim elevates the experience with premium semi-aniline leather upholstery. The Platinum trim adds luxury touches such as massaging and ventilated front seats for maximum comfort. The SL and Platinum models include 64-color ambient lighting, which creates an upscale atmosphere, and a Bose premium sound system with 10 speakers for an immersive audio experience. The cargo area provides 32.9 cubic feet of space behind the second row, expanding to 63.5 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.

Safety features enhance driver confidence. The ProPILOT Assist system is standard on the SV trim, while the SL and Platinum benefit from the more advanced ProPILOT Assist 1.1. The SL and Platinum trims feature Nissan's Intelligent Around View Monitor, which makes parking and low-speed maneuvering easier. The innovative Invisible Hood View system, standard across all trims, provides a virtual view through the hood of obstacles ahead.
