A Look at the 2026 Nissan Murano Changes
Recognized as a leader in its class, the Murano returns for the 2026 model year with several key updates. Every trim level now comes standard with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, which instantly adapts to changing road surfaces. Additionally, Nissan has introduced the advanced ProPILOT Assist 2.1 feature, offering hands-off driving capabilities for a more relaxed experience.
VC-Turbo Engine and Performance
Motivating the 2026 Murano is a cutting-edge VC-Turbo engine, which can seamlessly adjust its compression ratio while driving. This allows drivers to enjoy a great combination of power and high efficiency. The engine is tuned to develop 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission helps give the Murano an especially responsive and smooth feel on the road.
A Luxurious Interior Experience
One of the biggest highlights of the new Murano is its premium interior design. Families can look forward to experiencing a daily dose of comfort with available high-end luxury amenities, including massaging seats and a stunning panoramic sunroof. Plenty of exciting tech features are available as well, including standard dual 12.3-inch displays and wireless charging. An NHTSA five-star overall safety rating makes this SUV an even more rewarding vehicle for families.
Exterior Styling and Trims
There are now three eye-catching trim levels to choose from for the 2026 model year. Cool exterior features, such as 20-inch black alloy wheels and signature LED daytime running lights, come standard across the lineup.
