Key Features of the 2027 Nissan Murano

VC-Turbo® Engine and 9-speed Automatic Transmission

Murano’s performance story begins with its 2-liter VC-Turbo® DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine, a powertrain designed to deliver a rare mix of strength and efficiency. Nissan rates it at 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, giving the SUV a responsive feel when accelerating, merging, or passing. The engine pairs with a 9-speed automatic transmission that helps keep power delivery smooth and composed. Nissan also highlights Murano’s strong standard torque compared with competitors, and that matters when you want an SUV that feels confident without needing to be pushed hard. Every listed trim uses all-wheel drive, so traction support is part of the Murano experience. With 8.3 inches of ground clearance and up to 1,500 lbs. of maximum towing capacity, Murano is ready for daily needs and lighter recreational hauling. Automatic Brake Hold and an Electronic Parking Brake also add convenience in stop-and-go traffic and at long lights.

Spa-like Interior with Zero Gravity Seats

Murano’s cabin is one of its biggest strengths because it is designed to soothe the body and mind. Nissan describes the interior as spa-like, and the details support that idea. Available semi-aniline quilted leather-appointed seats, climate-controlled and massaging front seats, and a Zero Gravity Seat design help reduce fatigue and make the cabin feel genuinely premium. The front seats offer a carefully shaped support structure, while the second row can include Zero Gravity heated outboard seats for added passenger comfort. The Memory System can remember preferences and personalize the cockpit as the driver enters. Available 64-color ambient LED lighting along the doors and dashboard lets the cabin mood shift with a simple setting change, while the available panoramic moonroof opens the space visually for all passengers. Murano also remains practical with five-passenger seating, a flexible cargo area, 60-40 folding rear seats, and convenient rear-seat release latches for loading longer items.

Invisible Hood View and HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View® Monitor

Murano gives drivers a more confident view of the world around the vehicle with camera technology that is especially useful in tight parking lots, narrow driveways, and close maneuvering situations. Invisible Hood View creates a virtual composite view of the area normally blocked by the hood and engine compartment, helping the driver understand what is directly ahead and beneath the front of the SUV. This can be helpful when navigating around curbs, obstacles, uneven surfaces, or tight garage entries. HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View® Monitor uses four cameras to create a virtual composite 360° overhead view, helping show what is around the crossover from above. Drivers can also select split-screen close-ups of the front, rear, and curbside views to guide parking and low-speed movements. This technology does not replace attentive driving, but it provides useful spatial awareness that makes Murano feel easier to place and more relaxing to maneuver.

NissanConnect® with Dual 12.3" Displays

Murano’s technology is designed to feel modern without becoming complicated. The standard NissanConnect® 12.3" infotainment system places information within easy reach, while dual 12.3" displays create a bold digital layout for mapping, media, messaging, vehicle status, and drive information. Wireless Apple CarPlay® integration and wireless Android Auto™ compatibility help make the SUV an extension of a compatible smartphone. Available Google built-in adds another layer of convenience by enabling access to Google Maps, Google Play, Google Assistant™, climate controls, and more through voice capability. The MyNISSAN app expands the experience with available connected services such as Remote Engine Start, My Car Finder, Remote Vehicle Status, Walk Away Status, and available myQ® Connected Garage functionality, with subscription activation required for some services. Available NissanConnect® Wi-Fi Hotspot can support up to seven devices, and Qi2® front wireless charging plus USB ports help keep phones powered and ready.

ProPILOT Assist and Nissan Safety Shield® 360

Murano makes driver-assist technology a major part of its appeal. Standard ProPILOT Assist helps the driver stay centered in the lane, manage stop-and-go traffic, and reduce the workload during compatible highway driving. Available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 can enable advanced hands-off, foot-off driving in certain situations, traffic management, and smooth freeway cruising. Murano also includes standard Nissan Safety Shield® 360, a suite of six features that monitors in front, behind, and to the sides. The suite 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, and Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention® further support awareness and response. For drivers who spend time on I-81, Route 50, or local roads in Winchester, VA, these systems help create a calmer, more confident ownership experience.
