Key Features of the 2026 Nissan Murano

VC-TURBO® Engine and Intelligent AWD

Murano® uses a 2-liter VC-TURBO® DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine rated at 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. This engine is engineered to balance responsive performance with efficient operation, giving the SUV a smooth and confident feel when merging, passing, or traveling with passengers and cargo. The 9-speed automatic transmission supports that power with refined shifts and a button-style electronic shifter that gives the center area a clean, modern layout. All-wheel drive across the trim lineup adds another layer of everyday confidence, while available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive continuously monitors road conditions and can quickly respond to help provide traction. Murano® also offers 8.3 inches of ground clearance and up to 1,500 lbs. of maximum towing capacity, making it suitable for light recreational towing and active family needs. Intelligent Trace Control and Active Ride Control help support composed handling, so the SUV feels settled whether you are navigating city streets or heading out for a longer drive.

Spa-like Interior

The cabin is one of Murano®’s strongest selling points because it focuses on comfort in a genuinely thoughtful way. Nissan describes the interior as a “driving sanctuary,” and the details support that idea. Available Venetian glass-inspired dash treatment gives the cockpit an artistic quality, while available semi-aniline quilted leather-appointed seats add a soft, upscale touch. Depending on trim and equipment, drivers can enjoy heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, climate-controlled front seats, massaging front seats, heated rear seats, and a Memory System that helps personalize the cabin as you enter. The available panoramic moonroof expands the sense of space for both rows, while ambient LED lighting contributes to a more premium atmosphere. Practicality is also well covered, with seating for five, 60-40 folding rear seats, 32.9 cu.ft. of interior cargo volume, and available Motion Activated Liftgate access that opens with a simple foot movement under the rear bumper when your hands are full.

Dual 12.3" Displays and NissanConnect®

Technology in Murano® is designed to feel clean, large, and easy to use. Standard dual 12.3" digital displays create a wide, modern command center for navigation, entertainment, driver information, and connected features. Nissan calls this layout a Monolith Display, and it gives the cabin a cinema-like digital look while helping keep key information in the driver’s line of sight. NissanConnect® brings useful remote and connected services through the MyNISSAN app, including Remote Engine Start, My Car Finder, Remote Vehicle Status, and Walk Away Status notifications that can alert you if windows were left down or doors were left unlocked. Wireless Apple CarPlay® integration and Android Auto™ capability help connect compatible smartphones without clutter, while available Google built-in lets you use Google Maps, control climate functions, and access favorite apps through Google Play. Additional conveniences include four standard USB-C ports, available Wi-Fi Hotspot connectivity for up to seven devices, SiriusXM® with 360L, and available myQ® Connected Garage support.

ProPILOT Assist and Safety Shield® 360

Murano® brings meaningful driver-assist support through standard ProPILOT Assist, which helps you stay centered in your lane, manage stop-and-go traffic, and reduce fatigue during longer drives. On select configurations, available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 enables advanced hands-off, foot-off driving in certain situations, traffic management, and smooth freeway cruising. The Platinum trim also offers available ProPILOT Emergency Stop with e-call as part of the Tech Package, adding another layer of support in specific scenarios. Standard Nissan Safety Shield® 360 includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Automatic Braking, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and High Beam Assist. Additional systems such as Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Intelligent Lane Intervention, Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention®, Traffic Sign Recognition, Intelligent Driver Alertness, and front and rear sonar support awareness from multiple angles. Together, these technologies make Murano® feel especially well suited for crowded parking areas, freeway merging, and everyday traffic near Greenville, SC.

HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View® Monitor and Invisible Hood View

Visibility technology is a major advantage for Murano® shoppers who want extra confidence in tight spaces. Available HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View® Monitor provides a clearer, more comprehensive camera view around the SUV, helping with parking, maneuvering, and positioning near curbs or obstacles. Available Invisible Hood View is especially useful because it creates a virtual composite view of the area normally blocked by the hood and engine compartment. That means you can better judge the space directly in front of the vehicle when pulling into a garage, navigating tight driveways, or moving through uneven areas at low speeds. This type of technology can make a midsize SUV feel easier to place, which matters when your daily route includes school pickup lanes, shopping centers, office lots, or narrow neighborhood streets. Combined with front and rear sonar, available camera systems, and driver-assist alerts, Murano® gives you a more informed view of your surroundings and helps reduce guesswork during low-speed driving.
