Key Features of the 2026 Nissan Murano

Turbocharged 2.0-Liter Engine and Nine-Speed Automatic

Murano’s downsized, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder makes 241 horsepower and is paired with a refined nine-speed automatic transmission. Together, they provide linear, predictable thrust for merging, passing, and relaxed cruising. The nine-speed’s gearing helps keep the engine in its sweet spot, reducing droning and sharpening responsiveness compared to earlier approaches. Independent evaluations cite a 0-60 mph time of 7.2 seconds, quicker than the previous V6 model. Whether you are navigating stop-and-go traffic or cruising across the state, the powertrain’s balance of smoothness and authority fits the SUV’s premium mission.

Standard All-Wheel Drive

For 2026, all-wheel drive becomes standard, expanding confidence in rain, light snow, and on variable pavement. By actively managing torque distribution, the system contributes to secure launches and balanced cornering. The chassis tuning complements the drivetrain with planted steering and a ride tailored for daily ease, even as it filters road texture effectively. If your weekly routine includes commutes, errands, and occasional road trips, the traction and composure will feel like a built-in safety net, especially when weather shifts without warning.

Dual 12.3-Inch Displays with Wireless Smartphone Integration

Inside, the Murano features two 12.3-inch color displays—one for the driver and one for infotainment—designed for clarity and fast legibility. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with a wireless charging pad and multiple USB-C ports to keep everyone powered. Higher trims add a Google-based infotainment experience and Google Maps integrated navigation, so familiar routing and traffic data appear natively on the screen. Available connected services include Amazon Alexa voice assistant, an in-car Wi-Fi hotspot, SiriusXM, and a 10-speaker Bose audio system that immerses the cabin with crisp, concert-like sound.

ProPilot 2.1 Hands-Free Driving

Available ProPilot 2.1 brings hands-free driving capability to compatible roads, building on Nissan’s driver-assistance leadership. This advanced system can help maintain speed and following distance, center the Murano in its lane, and even use navigation data to subtly slow for curves. It is a meaningful step toward stress reduction on long interstate stretches. Murano also includes standard driver-assistance features across the lineup, such as automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control—an extensive suite designed to help you arrive more relaxed.

Zero Gravity Seats and Versatile Cargo Space

Nissan’s Zero Gravity seats are engineered to support the spine’s natural posture, mitigating fatigue on extended drives. The second row uses the same design philosophy, so adult passengers enjoy true long-trip comfort. Available luxuries like semi-aniline leather upholstery, ventilated and massaging front seats, heated rear seats, ambient lighting, and a panoramic sunroof elevate the cabin’s boutique ambiance. Practicality is equally strong: a standard power liftgate opens to a roomy 33 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats up and up to 64 cubic feet when folded flat. Pack luggage, strollers, golf bags, or a weekend’s worth of supplies with confidence.
