If you want an SUV that speaks fluently in design, comfort, and confidence, the 2026 Nissan Murano deserves a close look. This latest generation takes the Murano’s signature sophistication even further with a serene, glass-inspired cabin aesthetic, dual 12.3-inch displays, and available massaging, climate-controlled front seats. It is refined without being fussy, tech-forward without being complicated, and ready for everyday life without sacrificing style.
Under the sculpted sheet metal, Murano balances smooth power with real-world efficiency and all-weather traction. Standard all-wheel drive across the lineup helps make every drive feel composed, while advanced driver assistance and a suite of connected features keep you informed and in control. Below, we outline what stands out, how trims differ, and answers to common questions so you can decide if Murano fits your needs.
Design that elevates your everyday
The 2026 Murano leans into upscale minimalism. Inside, the dash treatment draws inspiration from artisan glasswork, and the cabin is bathed in soft-touch materials that look as good as they feel. Details matter here—switchgear feels precise, seating support is thoughtfully contoured, and lighting sets the tone without distraction. The result is a calm, comfortable space for commuting, errands, and weekend getaways alike.
- Dramatic first impression: A confident grille, taut body lines, and available 20- or 21-inch wheels give Murano presence without shouting.
- Dual 12.3-inch displays: The monolith-style digital layout places critical info front and center, making navigation, audio, and vehicle data easy to read at a glance.
- Available panoramic moonroof: Spans front and rear, adding airiness and natural light to the entire cabin.
- Premium seating: Available semi-aniline quilted leather-appointed seats bring rich texture, with available massaging and ventilation to reduce fatigue on long drives.

Space is generous for five, with a rear bench that remains comfortable for adults and an adjustable cargo area that easily adapts to luggage, strollers, or home-improvement hauls. The overall impression is a welcoming, modern interior that treats every passenger to first-class details.
Performance and capability you can feel
Murano’s 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine blends smooth power delivery with efficient operation. Pair it with a responsive 9-speed automatic transmission, and you get effortless acceleration around town and quiet cruising on the highway. The Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system continuously monitors traction and can direct power where it is needed to help you stay in control on variable road surfaces.
- Horsepower: 241 hp for confident passing and merging.
- Torque: 260 lb-ft for strong low- to mid-range response.
- Efficiency: Up to 21 mpg city and 27 mpg highway helps keep stops to a minimum.
- All-weather assurance: Standard Intelligent AWD improves grip and stability when conditions change.
- Towing capability: Up to 1,500 lbs—perfect for a small trailer, bikes, or weekend gear.
The chassis tuning aims for composed, quiet comfort. Independent front and rear suspensions absorb imperfections without feeling floaty, while features like Intelligent Trace Control can subtly apply braking to help the vehicle corner with more poise. The result is a midsize SUV that feels serene on daily drives yet capable when plans get more adventurous.

Every 2026 Murano includes Safety Shield 360, a suite designed to help you see more and intervene when necessary. Standard ProPILOT Assist supports lane centering and helps reduce fatigue in stop-and-go traffic, while available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 enables hands-off, foot-off driving in certain scenarios—great for easing the burden of longer freeway stretches. For low-speed maneuvering, the available HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor and Invisible Hood View can reveal obstacles that are difficult to spot from the driver’s seat.

Those accolades reflect the nameplate’s ongoing commitment to quality and confidence-inspiring engineering.
