The Armada tied for the highest score in the Large SUV segment, while the Murano secured first place in the Midsize SUV category. Based on owner feedback within 90 days of purchase, the study ranks vehicles across several categories, including cabin comfort, overall design, functionality, and performance dynamics.
Nissan has officially kicked off production of the 2025 Murano at its Smyrna Vehicle Assembly Plant in Tennessee. The milestone was celebrated with Nissan executives, community leaders, and manufacturing employees witnessing the first 2025 model roll off the assembly line. Their hard work and dedication have brought Nissan’s redesigned midsize crossover to life—a significant achievement requiring a unified effort. The new Murano is expected to arrive at dealerships in early 2025.
