01 · Core summary

Core summary

A current-generation midsize crossover suv engineered for comfortable family commuting and touring.

Nissan Murano combines a Midsize crossover SUV body with a Front-engine, transverse configuration. The Fourth generation Nissan Murano has been produced from 2024–present and pairs 2.0-liter variable-compression turbocharged four-cylinder with Front- or all-wheel drive, seating Five. Those fundamentals position Nissan Murano for Comfortable family commuting and touring; trim-specific equipment should be read within that mechanical and generational context.

02 · History & generations

History & generations

Nissan Murano is represented here by the Fourth generation model produced from 2024–present. That boundary keeps Nissan Murano specifications, photographs and ownership characteristics attached to the correct production phase. Earlier or later Nissan Murano namesakes provide chronology, but they do not replace the vehicle defined on this page.

Nissan Murano's 2024–present chronology prevents specifications from a different production phase being attributed to the Fourth generation vehicle.

Recording Nissan Murano production changes separately also leaves a clear path for future generation-specific profiles without altering this page's scope.

03 · Body, platform & design

Body, platform & design

The 2025 Murano combines slim LED headlamps with lighting integrated into the grille area. A full-width rear light treatment, concealed rear wiper and hidden exhaust outlets create a cleaner tail. This is the fourth-generation design, rather than a description of earlier hybrid models.

04 · Engine & drivetrain

Engine & drivetrain

Nissan Murano uses 2.0-liter variable-compression turbocharged four-cylinder with Front- or all-wheel drive. For Nissan Murano, that combination defines propulsion and traction within the Front-engine, transverse platform; outputs, batteries, transmissions or calibrations that differ by grade remain attached to the applicable model year and market.

Nissan Murano's 2.0-liter variable-compression turbocharged four-cylinder description remains paired with Front- or all-wheel drive; grade-specific output and calibration belong to the market in which each version was sold.

Where the Nissan Murano range includes more than one propulsion configuration, each is read with its corresponding drivetrain, grade and model year.

05 · Trim differences

Trim differences

Nissan Murano grades share the same Fourth generation foundation, then differentiate equipment around it. On Nissan Murano, wheel size, upholstery, assistance systems, audio, appearance packages and chassis hardware can change by grade, so one photographed example cannot represent every specification.

Nissan Murano trim comparisons separate functional changes in equipment or chassis hardware from appearance packages offered by individual sales regions.

A more highly equipped Nissan Murano can change wheels, suspension, cabin materials and assistance systems without changing the Midsize crossover SUV or Fourth generation identity.

06 · Interior & seating

Interior & seating

Two 12.3-inch displays form the 2025 US Murano’s main instrument and infotainment interface. Ventilated and massaging front seats are available rather than universal equipment. The useful buying distinction is between the standard screen layout and the comfort features added by the selected grade; an exterior photograph cannot establish that seat specification.

07 · Efficiency & range

Efficiency & range

Nissan Murano's 2.0-liter variable-compression turbocharged four-cylinder system operates within the mass, aerodynamics and rolling resistance of a Midsize crossover SUV. Nissan Murano consumption or range changes with wheel choice, temperature, speed and load; certified figures are comparable only when the test cycle and exact powertrain specification also match.

Nissan Murano efficiency figures are meaningful only when the stated test cycle, wheel specification and 2.0-liter variable-compression turbocharged four-cylinder configuration match.

08 · Safety & equipment

Safety & equipment

Nissan Murano combines its current crash structure with active-safety and driver-assistance equipment that can vary by grade and production date. Any crash-test result applied to Nissan Murano must match the relevant Fourth generation body, drivetrain and model year.

Nissan Murano safety coverage distinguishes the underlying Fourth generation structure from optional assistance systems and market-specific ratings.

09 · Strengths

Strengths

Nissan Murano's clearest strength is the way its Midsize crossover SUV format, Front- or all-wheel drive configuration and 2.0-liter variable-compression turbocharged four-cylinder support Comfortable family commuting and touring. That relationship gives Nissan Murano a coherent purpose beyond a single acceleration, range or cargo figure and provides the basis for comparing it with alternatives.

Nissan Murano's supported strengths arise from the relationship between its Front-engine, transverse architecture, Front- or all-wheel drive system and role in Comfortable family commuting and touring.

Cariary perspective
Nissan Murano is best understood through its current fourth generation architecture, 2.0-liter variable-compression turbocharged four-cylinder powertrain and front- or all-wheel drive configuration.
10 · Considerations

Considerations

Nissan Murano ownership depends on the exact 2.0-liter variable-compression turbocharged four-cylinder and Front- or all-wheel drive specification as well as wheel, tire and equipment choices. On Nissan Murano, those variables can alter comfort, efficiency, charging or fuel use and operating cost even when the underlying Fourth generation vehicle remains the same.

A Nissan Murano buyer should check the exact grade and wheel-and-tire package because those choices can change comfort, efficiency and operating cost.

11 · Recommended use

Recommended use

Nissan Murano is principally suited to Comfortable family commuting and touring. The Nissan Murano Five-seat cabin, Midsize crossover SUV packaging and Front- or all-wheel drive configuration establish that role, while optional convenience or appearance equipment changes the experience without redefining its basic purpose.

Nissan Murano's recommended use follows from its Midsize crossover SUV, Five-seat cabin and Front- or all-wheel drive configuration rather than optional convenience equipment.
