2025 Nissan Murano: Seven Ways It’s All-New and Better than Ever

What inspired your interest in a Nissan Murano for sale on our lot? Our vast selection of Murano SUVs showcases Nissan’s keen attention to detail and dedication to giving drivers more value through engaging powertrains, innovative technologies, and premium comforts. Yet, those characteristics are even more prominent in the all-new 2025 Murano.

The Murano debuted as Nissan’s first crossover in 2003. The 2025 Murano introduces the SUV’s fourth generation, celebrating the occasion with several firsts that keep the Murano in the spotlight as a segment leader. Here’s a closer look at those features and what you can expect from the all-new Murano in 2025.

#1 – Exterior Design: Modern and Athletic

Nissan is well-known for its modern styling, and the 2025 Murano follows suit. The SUV debuts a bolder, more futuristic aesthetic. Nissan accomplishes this by streamlining the Murano’s front end, framing it with ultra-thin Crystal Cube LED headlights. LED running lights inside the grille reproduce the automaker’s signature V-motion design. The Murano’s streamlined details continue to the rear, where the LED taillight stretches the length of the rear and gives the Murano a distinct profile after sunset.

#2 – Trims: Three Distinct Personas

The 2025 Murano offers a three-trim lineup, each with distinct personas. The Murano SV serves as the gateway into the family and sets the baseline, rolling off Nissan’s production line on 20-inch gloss black aluminum wheels with aero covers that add to its stealthy aesthetic. Inside, the Murano SV is well-equipped with wireless charging and an expansive 12.3-inch touchscreen display with the NissanConnect infotainment system.

The mid-tier Murano SL adds several upgrades to the base trim and extends the SUV’s color palette to include two-tone options. The SL swaps the gloss black aero covers for Gun Metallic, adds a panoramic moonroof, and equips the NissanConnect system with Google Built-In for enhanced connectivity. The top-tier Murano Platinum exudes luxury throughout the cabin, courtesy of quilted semi-aniline leather seats. Massaging front seats heighten your comfort, while larger 21-inch aluminum-alloy wheels give the Platinum a distinct stance and mark another first for the Murano.

#3 – Interior: Sophisticated and Comfort-Focused

The 2025 Murano introduces a newly designed cabin that exudes sophistication and craftsmanship. The dashboard is finished in Murano Glass, which incorporates color-shifting graphics and textures that change with the lighting to create a bespoke aesthetic. Drivers can choose from three interior color themes and set the mood inside the cabin with the 64-color ambient lighting system. The 2025 Murano also offers a first with its available ventilated, massaging front seats that complement other comfort-focused details like the semi-aniline quilted leather upholstery, the heated steering wheel, and the soft-touch materials that adorn every surface.

Many automakers focus on front-row comfort, but Nissan defies expectations with the 2025 Murano. The second row is also engineered for maximum comfort, with the NASA-inspired Zero Gravity rear seats marking another first for the SUV. The seats are plush and more supportive, with Nissan maximizing that comfort by expanding the distance between the rows and trimming the thickness of the front row seats to increase rear legroom. With the rear doors opening wider, ingress and egress are also improved, making the Murano more appealing to families.

#4 – Performance: Engaging and Responsive in Any Season

Nissan makes driving fun by ensuring the 2025 Murano is responsive and engaging at any speed. The Murano SL rolls off the factory floor as a front-wheel drive SUV, but the Murano SL and Murano Platinum come standard with Nissan’s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system. The difference is significant because it enhances the Murano’s performance, actively reading the conditions and adjusting to improve power delivery and optimize traction. Drivers enjoy all-season confidence, especially with the Murano’s new turbocharged heartbeat.

That heartbeat is an all-new 2.0L Variable-Compression Turbo engine that Nissan pairs with a smooth-shifting nine-speed automatic transmission. The variable compression engine is designed to balance performance and efficiency, perfectly accomplishing this feat as it produces 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. For comparison, the 2024 Murano produced 240 lb-ft of torque, giving the fourth-generation Murano an undeniable lead over its predecessor.

#5 – Technologies: Connected and Entertained

The Murano has aged gracefully over the last few decades, thanks to Nissan keeping the SUV fresh and relevant by updating its design and introducing new technologies. The 2025 Murano continues that tradition, with the latest generation featuring several firsts for the SUV. The 2025 Murano features dual 12.3-inch displays and a color head-up display that enhances and adds a tech-savvy component to the SUV’s upscale cabin.

The driver’s position is a modern cockpit framed by displays, with the 12.3-inch driver display featuring several modes you can configure to your needs. The 12.3-inch NissanConnect infotainment system makes up the center stack and offers several Murano firsts, including wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and Google Built-In. The addition of Google Built-In is noteworthy because it equips the Murano with Google Maps, the Google Play Store, and Google Assistant. The virtual assistant can make calls, respond to messages, stream your favorite playlist, navigate the fastest route, and more with simple voice commands.

It’s easy to stay connected and entertained in the 2025 Murano, but those components stretch beyond the technologies at your fingertips. Nissan equips the Murano with active sound cancellation, ensuring crisp and clear audio throughout the cabin. Top-tier trims like the Murano Platinum take this listening experience further with a premium 10-speaker sound system from Bose that provides a concert-like experience to every seat in the cabin.

#6 – Safety Shield 360: A Virtual Spotter On Board

The 2025 Murano showcases Nissan’s reputation for equipping its models with cutting-edge safety features and technologies. The Nissan Safety Shield 360 remains a standard component across the Murano’s three-trim lineup for 2025. The suite outfits the Murano with Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Automatic Braking, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and High Beam Assist.

While Nissan Safety Shield 360 is impressive, Nissan recognizes room for improvement and introduces new technologies in the 2025 Murano. The 3D Intelligent Around View Monitor enhances the previous generation’s camera system in several critical ways. First, it offers eight vantage points around the Murano, which you can select via the SUV’s expansive digital display. Second, the camera system includes an Invisible Hood View that lets you “see through” the hood and engine bay. Why is this significant? Consider the benefits of heightened visibility when navigating a drive-through or a car wash, where aligning the Murano is critical to avoid hitting obstacles nearby.

#7 – ProPILOT Assist: Peace of Mind Behind the Wheel

Nissan Safety Shield 360 equips the 2025 Murano with a virtual spotter, but Nissan expands the SUV’s appeal by adding cutting-edge driver-assist technologies that improve your time behind the wheel. For example, ProPILOT Assist transforms your experience of cruising at highway speeds because it combines the function of Intelligent Cruise Control with Steering Assist to adjust the Murano’s cruising speed and lane positioning based on traffic.

The 2025 Murano SV and Murano Platinum up the ante by adding ProPILOT Assist 1.1. The upgraded system enhances its capability by working with the Murano’s navigation system. With this additional data, ProPILOT Assist can effortlessly adjust the Murano’s speed to prepare for upcoming curves or an exit, allowing you to genuinely enjoy the drive and all the comforts available in the Murano’s premium cabin.
