Key Features of the 2026 Nissan Murano
VC-Turbo® Engine
Murano’s 2.0-liter VC-Turbo® DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine delivers an optimal balance of power and efficiency, producing 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The VC in VC-Turbo stands for Variable Compression, a Nissan innovation that can adapt compression ratios seamlessly for more efficient cruising or responsive acceleration as you need it. Paired with a refined 9-speed automatic transmission, the powertrain delivers smooth, quiet performance that fits the Murano® character perfectly. You’ll notice responsive passing power on local highways and confident merging near interchanges, all while keeping revs low and cabin conversation effortless. With a standard electronic shifter and carefully tuned ride and handling, Murano feels settled and composed—exactly what you want in a premium midsize SUV.
Intelligent AWD
The available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system is your on-demand traction ally. It continuously monitors road conditions and wheel slip, then moves power from the front to rear to help maximize grip when it matters. On dry pavement, it can optimize for efficiency; on wet, gravel, or uneven surfaces, it reacts quickly to enhance stability and confidence. With 8.3 inches of ground clearance, Murano helps you comfortably clear everyday obstacles like ruts or steep driveway entrances. For added ease in stop-and-go situations, Automatic Brake Hold can keep the vehicle stationary without keeping your foot on the brake. Whether you’re navigating hilly neighborhoods or heading across the I-81 corridor, Intelligent AWD supports a secure, stress-reducing drive.
Dual 12.3" Displays
Inside, Murano® puts information front and center with standard dual 12.3" displays that create a cohesive, cinema-like digital landscape. You can tailor what you see—mapping, messages, and key vehicle data—so the essentials are always in view. Available Google built-in lets you use Google Maps and select vehicle controls with your voice, and you can download compatible apps via Google Play. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration keep your phone’s most useful features within easy reach, while the available Head-Up Display projects key info in your line of sight. Add the available Bose Premium Audio System with ten speakers, and your daily soundtrack gets the crisp, immersive treatment it deserves.
HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View® Monitor
Parking, threading through tight spaces, or approaching unseen obstacles feels easier with Murano’s available HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View® Monitor. It uses multiple cameras to stitch together a composite 360-degree view that helps you maneuver more confidently. Available Invisible Hood View takes it further by creating a virtual look at the area that’s typically hidden by the hood, helping you visualize placement when lining up in narrow lanes or around curbs. It’s technology that works naturally in the background to reduce guesswork, complemented by front and rear sonar to assist with parking duties. When paired with Safety Shield® 360 and features like Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Blind Spot Warning, you get a reassuring safety net that supports your awareness all around the vehicle.
Massaging Front Seats
Murano® makes comfort a priority. Available climate-controlled and massaging front seats help you unwind on longer drives, with quilted semi-aniline leather-appointed surfaces that feel as inviting as they look. The available Memory System can store key settings for the driver’s seat and more, so your Murano welcomes you exactly the way you like it. Rear seat passengers benefit from generous space and available sunshades, while cargo versatility is built in with 60/40-split rear seats and an adjustable rear area. When your hands are full, the available Motion Activated Liftgate opens with a simple foot movement under the rear bumper. Details like ambient LED lighting, thoughtful storage, and USB-C ports for every row round out a cabin that’s genuinely relaxing to live with.
