2027 Nissan Murano Review
Think about the last twenty minutes of a long drive, when you are ready to be home. That is the stretch the Nissan Murano was designed around. Ventilated, massaging quilted leather seats keep working when you are tired, a panoramic moonroof keeps the cabin from closing in, and 64 colors of ambient lighting let you dial the space down to something calm. Outside, Venetian glass-inspired accents give it presence in a parking lot full of look-alikes.
Drivers across Brockton, Easton, and Stoughton, Massachusetts, put serious weekly miles on a two-row SUV, so this 2027 Nissan Murano review focuses on how it holds up over those miles rather than just what it looks like on the lot. Nissan 24 has the details below and the keys whenever you want them.
Key Takeaways
- A 241-horsepower VC-Turbo® engine pairs with a 9-speed automatic for up to 27 highway MPG
- Available ventilated, massaging, quilted leather-appointed seats and a panoramic moonroof define the cabin
- ProPILOT Assist comes standard, with available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 for hands-off freeway driving
A Sneak Peak to the Nissan Murano Interior
The cabin is designed to soothe the body and mind, and it delivers on that promise from the moment you settle in.
Available features do the heavy lifting. An expansive panoramic moonroof opens the space up, ventilated and massaging quilted leather-appointed seats turn a long drive into something restorative, and 64 colors of ambient lighting let you set the tone. Zero Gravity Seats are class-exclusive, developed to reduce fatigue by supporting your body in a neutral posture. It adds up to an interior that feels less like transportation and more like a room you actually want to spend time in.
How Does the Nissan Murano Perform?
Confidently, thanks to a 241-horsepower VC-Turbo® engine that pulls off the rare trick of being both responsive and efficient.
The numbers tell the story. That VC-Turbo® engine delivers a best-in-class 225 lb-ft of standard torque, reaching 260 lb-ft, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and returning up to an EPA-estimated 21 MPG city and 27 MPG highway. Intelligent All-Wheel Drive with available Snow Mode reads road conditions continuously and sends traction where you need it. No competitor offers this engine, which is a meaningful distinction in a segment where powertrains tend to blur together.
Explore Nissan Murano Technology Features
Everything syncs. Dual 12.3-inch monolith displays put mapping, messaging, and driving information directly in front of you in a bold, cinema-like layout.
The supporting cast is deep:
- Head-Up Display projects your speed, the posted limit, and song titles onto the windshield, keeping your eyes on the road
- Bose® Premium Audio System uses 10 high-performance speakers tuned through an acoustical analysis of the Murano cabin, so quality sound reaches every seat
- Google built-in lets you control Google Maps and climate with your voice and download apps through Google Play
- NissanConnect® Wi-Fi Hotspot connects up to seven devices, and the MyNISSAN app handles Remote Engine Start, Remote Temperature Control, and vehicle status checks
- Invisible Hood View shows an unobstructed view of the ground beneath you, which makes tight spots and rough terrain far less nerve-racking
Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ round it out, so your phone connects the moment you get in.
Is the Nissan Murano Good for Commuting?
Yes, and ProPILOT Assist is the reason. It comes standard, helping you stay centered in your lane, managing stop-and-go traffic, and letting you rest your feet.
Step up to available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 and the system enables hands-off, foot-off driving in certain situations, with traffic management and smooth freeway cruising. On a long highway stretch, that changes the character of the drive entirely. NissanConnect® Services also stores personalized settings for up to five drivers, so a shared vehicle greets each person the way they left it.
FAQs
Is the Nissan Murano a dependable SUV?
Yes. The Murano captured top honors as the Most Dependable Midsize SUV in the J.D. Power U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study. Nissan replaced the previous Continuously Variable Transmission with a conventional 9-speed automatic paired to a 2.0-liter VC-Turbo® four-cylinder producing 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Removing the CVT, the main source of long-term owner complaints on earlier generations, means far fewer major transmission and driveline failures.
Does the Nissan Murano have massaging seats?
Yes, ventilated and massaging quilted leather-appointed seats are available. Nissan pairs them with class-exclusive Zero Gravity Seats, engineered to support a neutral posture that reduces fatigue on longer drives.
Does the Nissan Murano come with all-wheel drive?
Intelligent All-Wheel Drive with available Snow Mode monitors road conditions and boosts traction when you need it most. Available Invisible Hood View adds a camera view beneath the vehicle for navigating tight obstacles and challenging terrain.
Experience the Nissan Murano for Yourself
A Nissan Murano review can describe the massaging seats and the ambient lighting, but sinking into that cabin and pulling onto the highway is a different thing entirely. That is the part worth doing in person.
