Bigger, Swoopier 2025 Nissan Murano Priced From $41,860

Nissan’s mid-size Murano SUV is redesigned for the 2025 model year. Revamped from the ground up, it boasts eye-catching new sheet metal, a richer cabin, and a host of new standard and available tech features. Its base price also climbs by more than $1,700 over the outgoing model, but that sticker is affixed to a vastly more appealing vehicle.

Powertrain Specs and MPG

The old Murano’s age was perhaps nowhere more apparent than under the hood, where it hid a normally aspirated V-6 engine and continuously variable automatic transmission. In the 2025 model, that space is filled by a 241-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder good for 260 pounds-feet of torque (a tidy inversion of the old V-6’s 260 hp and 240 pounds-feet) and a nine-speed automatic — the latter of which was one of the vehicle’s most significant shortcomings. For 2025, front-wheel drive is only standard on the base SV trim; all-wheel drive is a $1,000 option on the SV and standard on the SL and Platinum.

The Murano’s fuel-economy figures provide an interesting look at the relative strength of the old and new powertrains. Whereas the outgoing SUV returned an EPA-rated 20/28/23 mpg city/highway/combined (with either powertrain), Nissan says the turbo four and nine-speed are rated at 21/27/23 mpg (official EPA ratings for the 2025 model are not yet available).

Availability and Pricing

The 2025 Nissan Murano is on sale now. Full pricing (including $1,390 destination fee) is as follows:

• SV: $41,860
• SL: $47,950
• Platinum: $50,990

Safety Features and Trim Levels

The new Murano’s standard suite of safety tech includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind spot steering assist, rear cross-traffic alert with automatic braking, lane departure warning and steering assist, adaptive cruise control, a driver attention monitor, road-sign recognition, automatic high beams, front and rear parking sensors and ProPilot Assist, which combines the lane-centering steering and adaptive cruise functions.

The entry-level SV comes fairly well equipped with 20-inch wheels, LED front and rear lighting, windshield wiper de-icers, keyless entry and start, and remote start. Inside, it’s upholstered in synthetic leather and features power-adjustable heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, wireless phone charging and six speakers. Both the digital gauge cluster and infotainment touchscreen measure 12.3 inches, the latter with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and satellite radio.

Upgrading to the Murano SL nets buyers a panoramic moonroof, 360-degree camera system, 10-speaker Bose audio system and ProPilot Assist 1.1, which allows the cruise control to adjust the vehicle’s speed for upcoming curves based on navigation data. The driver and passenger enjoy upgraded seats (with memory settings for the driver) and the infotainment system gets Google and Alexa Built-In.

The Platinum trim again tops the Murano lineup, now featuring 21-inch wheels (they were previously 20s), rain-sensing windshield wipers, a hands-free power liftgate and a head-up display. Upholstered in perforated semi-aniline leather, the Platinum’s cabin features heated, ventilated and massaging front seats, and heated outboard rear seats.
