The 2025 Nissan Murano has arrived, and it brings big changes. This new model focuses less on sportiness and much more on elegance. Let’s explore what makes this new Murano special.
Exterior Changes
One of the first things you will notice is the size. The new Murano is longer and wider. It adds about an inch to its overall length and almost three inches to its width. This change makes the rear end look more powerful. The front of the Murano has new Crystal Cube LED lights. These lights are thin and stylish, giving the car a modern look.

The new Murano also has a unique V-shaped grille. The grille has built-in LED running lights that light up the V shape. The side mirrors have moved to the doors, which helps the driver see better. There is less chrome on the outside, making it look more premium. The windows and pillars do not have any exposed rubber, adding to the sleek design.
- New 21-inch wheels look stunning.
- Full-length LED tail lights are a nice touch.
- Exhaust tips are hidden for a cleaner look.
The Murano is now more of an SUV. It has 8.3 inches of ground clearance, which is higher than the previous version’s 6.9 inches. This makes it feel more robust and ready for any adventure.
Engine and Performance
Under the hood, there are also big changes. The old 3.5L V6 engine is gone. It is replaced by a 2.0L VC Turbo four-cylinder engine. This new engine produces 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. This is a bit less horsepower than before, but it offers more usable torque.

Fuel economy is similar to the old model. The new Murano gets 23 miles per gallon combined. In the city, it also gets 23 miles per gallon. However, on the highway, it only gets 24 miles per gallon. All trims come with a new 9-speed automatic transmission. The Murano can still tow up to 1,500 pounds.
The new Murano weighs between 4,300 and 4,450 pounds. This is a little heavier than the previous model. To improve comfort, the Murano has new frequency-sensitive dampers that help with the ride quality.
Interior Comfort
Inside, the Murano has soft-touch materials throughout. Most surfaces feel premium and soft, though some lower areas have hard plastics. The dashboard has a special finish called “Murano glass.” This finish can change color depending on the lighting.
The steering wheel has a flatter bottom, making it easier to get in and out of the car. All trims come with heated seats, a heated steering wheel, and heated washer nozzles. The driver’s seat is eight-way power adjustable, while the passenger seat is six-way adjustable.

The Platinum trim offers even more luxury. It has semi-aniline quilted leather seats, ventilated seats, and massage features for both front and back passengers. The rear doors open wider for easier access, especially for families with small children.
Space and Storage
Being a larger vehicle, the Murano offers more storage space. Behind the rear seats, it can hold almost 33 cubic feet. If you fold down the rear seats, it expands to over 63 cubic feet. The Platinum trim also includes a motion-activated power rear liftgate.
Technology Features
The Murano is packed with technology. It has a 12.3-inch digital driver information center that is customizable. Another 12.3-inch screen in the center of the dashboard serves as the infotainment system. This system uses capacitive touch controls for climate settings.

The gear selector consists of buttons, which helps save space. Other technology features include:
- Wireless phone charging pad
- 64 color ambient lighting
- Bose 10-speaker audio system
- Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto
- Color head-up display
- Power telescopic steering wheel
Safety Features
The Murano also comes with many safety features. Nissan’s Safety Shield 360 is standard. Upgrades include ProPilot Assist and a 3D around-view monitor. There is even an invisible hood view to help with tight spots.

Conclusion
The 2025 Nissan Murano is not just a car; it is a blend of elegance and comfort. With its new design, powerful engine, and advanced technology, it aims to provide a serene driving experience. Look for it in dealers early in 2025!
