The 2025 Nissan Murano introduces a major redesign after a decade, offering a refreshed look and updated powertrain options. This mid-size two-row SUV now features a turbocharged engine and other advanced technologies to elevate the driving experience.
What's New in the 2025 Nissan Murano?
The most significant update to the 2025 Nissan Murano is under the hood. Nissan has replaced the previous V-6 engine with a more efficient turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. This marks a departure from the previous V-6 and CVT combination.
Engine and Performance
The 2025 Nissan Murano is now powered by a VC-Turbo variable-compression-ratio 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 241 horsepower and 261 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, offering improved performance and responsiveness.
Trim Levels and Features
The 2025 Murano is available in three trims: SV, SL, and Platinum. Each trim offers a range of premium features:
- SV: Power liftgate, leatherette upholstery, driver-assistance features, 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- SL: Panoramic sunroof, Google Built-In apps, 360-degree camera view, Bose audio system
- Platinum: Semi-aniline leather, head-up display, massaging front seats, heated rear seats
Design and Styling
The 2025 Nissan Murano features a smooth, rounded design with modern details such as slim headlights, integrated linear daytime running lights, and an LED taillight bar that spans the entire width of the rear end. The exhaust tips and rear wiper are cleverly hidden for a sleeker, more refined appearance.
Exterior Dimensions
Measuring 192.9 inches long, the Murano sits between the compact Rogue and the three-row Pathfinder. It continues to offer a five-passenger seating configuration.
Performance and Fuel Economy
Despite the switch to a smaller engine, the 2025 Murano doesn't offer a significant improvement in fuel economy. It is rated for 23 mpg combined in both front-wheel and all-wheel-drive configurations, matching the previous Murano's EPA combined rating. In comparison, the Toyota Crown Signia hybrid achieves a combined rating of 38 mpg.
Interior Features and Comfort
The interior of the 2025 Nissan Murano offers a combination of comfort and technology:
- Heated, power-adjustable front seats
- Digital gauge cluster
- 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless connectivity
- Driver-assistance technologies
Luxury Features in the Platinum Trim
The Platinum trim offers the highest level of luxury with features such as:
- Semi-aniline leather upholstery
- Massaging front seats
- Heated rear seats
- Head-up display for added convenience
Pricing and Availability
Nissan has not yet announced pricing for the 2025 Murano, but it is expected to start higher than the outgoing model. The previous Murano had a base price of $40,130 for the front-wheel-drive SV, while the all-wheel-drive Platinum model was priced at up to $49,840.
