This popular midsize crossover takes style in a whole new direction, infusing sporty, muscular angles with refined elegance to deliver a head-turning SUV that will get you noticed. It’s a tall order standing out in a category with dozens of options, but Nissan says no way to the ordinary, instead giving buyers a design that pops.
Inside, the Murano’s refined cabin feels more like a European import, and that’s no accident. Nissan has always favored premium finishes and high-tech comfort and convenience features. Here’s a crossover that will make your commute more relaxing and enjoyable, and who doesn’t want that? The 2022 Murano offers excellent fuel efficiency, too, so you’ll pass on by the gas station and save big on ownership costs.
With five distinct trims to choose from, available all-wheel drive, and industry-leading safety ratings, the 2022 Nissan Murano offers something for every crossover buyer. Multiple exterior colors and equipment package add-ons let you customize your Murano even further. If the time has come for you to swap out your ride for a capable crossover that’s extremely fun to drive, set your sights on the classy 2022 Nissan Murano.

Why is styling such a big deal in the compact crossover universe? Because it’s hard to stand out when the formula includes a four-door, SUV-style body that sits a little higher than a traditional sedan. It’s enough to induce a yawn as you see what pops up when you search for compact crossovers. That is, until you come upon the elegantly-styled 2022 Nissan Murano. How did Nissan combine aggressive, muscular angles with high-end premium refinement?
It all starts with the signature Nissan V-Motion grille, a focal point of the Murano’s slanted front end. It’s surrounded in chrome and bookended by futuristic c-shaped LED headlights, prominently featuring the Nissan badge front-and-center. The unique grille design is your first hint that this is no ordinary crossover. Sharp angles characterize the Murano’s side profile. The contouring catches the light and defines each body panel, contributing to an aggressive overall curb presence.
The 2022 Murano features a sloped roofline that terminates in an angled tailgate with taillights that protrude just enough to continue the sharp, angular design theme. Choose from nine exterior paint colors, each so different that you’ll wonder if it’s the same vehicle. Bold hues like Sunset Drift ChromaFlair, a burnt orange color that works well with the Murano’s chrome accenting, will appeal to buyers who want to stand out. The classic Pearl White TriCoat and Magnetic Black Pearl, by contrast, bring out the Murano’s elegant undertones.
The refinement continues inside the Murano’s cabin, with standard Zero Gravity Seats that are proven to reduce fatigue, along with available heated and ventilated seats and plush semi-aniline leather seating surfaces. Take advantage of the Murano’s available 67 cubic feet of cargo capacity next time you’re on the hunt for some new furniture or need to stow your big box home store haul without borrowing a friend’s pickup. Versatility and high-end finishes highlight the Murano’s interior.
With five distinctly different trims to choose from, the 2022 Nissan Murano is steeped in variety. It’s an overused catchphrase in the automotive industry, but with the Murano, there’s truly a model for every buyer. Whether you’re shopping on a budget or you want the best and most well-equipped trim, you’ll find a Murano configuration that’s ideally suited to your individual wish list.
Beginning with the base model Murano S, Nissan offers a surprisingly feature-rich entry-level trim, with 18-inch wheels, LED headlights and taillights, and a set of power outside mirrors. Inside, you’ll get dual-zone automatic temperature control with a standard cabin microfilter, along with push-button start, variable intermittent rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a generous 8-inch infotainment touchscreen with smartphone connectivity.
Moving up to the SV adds leather-like seating, remote engine start, and heated front seats. You’ll love the standard LED fog lights on rainy nighttime drives, as well as the LED turn signal indicators embedded in the outside mirrors. The dramatic Midnight Edition adds a variety of exterior accenting, including black Nissan badging, trim-exclusive black front and rear bumper accenting, and a special Midnight Edition badge to further distinguish this stylish Murano trim.
Near the top of the lineup, the upscale Murano SL features standard leather seating and ambient LED interior lighting for a pleasant, calming cabin environment. Also standard is Nissan’s Intelligent Around View Monitor, a 360-degree camera that features a bird’s eye view, allowing drivers to see all around the vehicle. It’s perfect for maneuvering in and out of tight spaces without experiencing the dreaded “bumper kiss.”
Finally, the top-of-the-line Murano Platinum raises the bar and gives the competition plenty to worry about. The list of standard luxury comfort and convenience features is vast, beginning with a dual-panel panoramic moonroof that converts almost the entire roof into glass, bringing the outside in for front-seat and rear-seat passengers. Also standard is plush semi-aniline leather seating with special inserts in a quilted diamond pattern.
We’re living in exciting times, and technology continues evolving to make life easier and more convenient. The 2022 Murano is loaded with tech features buyers demand, including oversized touchscreens and smartphone integration tools. When you’re behind the wheel of a new 2022 Nissan Murano, you’ll also drive safer because your vehicle features tons of standard driver-assist safety systems that stay on the lookout for changing road conditions and potential hazards.
All Murano trims feature an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen with NissanConnect technology. What does that mean? It means you can connect your smartphone and tap into tons of convenient features, like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which let you access your apps and phone content from the infotainment touchscreen. Easily stream your favorite Spotify playlist or catch up on your favorite podcast! It’s easy plug-and-play technology that won’t have you sifting through the owner’s manual to figure out.
The high-end Murano SL and Platinum take connectivity a step further, offering connected navigation with real-time traffic updates through SiriusXM. Setting your sights on a less expensive model? Don’t worry! You’ll still get tons of technology features, like hands-free text messaging, Siri Eyes Free, and two fast-charging USB-C ports. Your Murano also includes speed-sensitive volume, which automatically adjusts the audio volume to compensate for road noise.
As for safety, the 2022 Murano has you covered. It received a perfect 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration and was named a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The IIHS also reported a Superior front crash prevention rating, which is no surprise: all Murano trims feature standard Nissan Safety Shield 360 driver-assist technology.
What is Safety Shield 360? It’s a suite of safety systems that tap into cameras and sensors mounted around the vehicle to constantly monitor road conditions. The system sends audible alerts and intervenes with emergency braking and steering if it senses a collision is coming. Six features make up the suite of standard systems:
You’ll drive safer and have more confidence knowing these systems are standing by to alert you when conditions change.
