Midsize SUVs are the perfect choice for many drivers, giving them excellent performance, plenty of great features, and a spacious interior that won't threaten to take over their lives. Although you'll find plenty of great SUVs at Nissan dealers these days, here at Reineke Nissan, one of our favorites is the Murano. This midsize SUV gives you three trim levels to choose from and a wide range of excellent features inside and out.
This all results in a vehicle designed to meet a variety of needs while keeping you going each day-everything we look for in a midsize SUV. If you're still trying to figure out which Nissan SUV is right for you, then you're in luck because we're going to take you through some of the most remarkable features of the 2025 Nissan Murano.
Impressive Performance and Fuel Efficiency
When we show vehicles, one of the places we like to start is with the engine and the kind of driving experience it delivers. This is a midsize SUV, so we're not looking for a sports car's engine or anything like that, but it should still be fun to drive-and Nissan understands this. The 2025 Murano comes with a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine that delivers 241 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. This is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission for an incredibly smooth and responsive experience every time you get behind the wheel.
Front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard for the Murano, but all-wheel drive (AWD) is available; in fact, the higher SL and Platinum trim levels are offered exclusively with AWD. Standard FWD is perfect for many drivers, though AWD is great for handling rough weather, especially if you take trips around the holidays. Despite its midsize design, the 2025 Murano gets an estimated 21 MPG in the city, 27 MPG on the highway, and 23 MPG combined. That means you can do a lot of driving between stops for gas, letting you get through your routine and enjoy more time off.
Just the Right Size, With a Spacious Interior
One of our favorite things about midsize SUVs, in general, is how they hit that "midway" between smaller compact models and full-size vehicles that can be too big for many people. The Murano perfectly illustrates this, giving you two rows of seating for up to five passengers. Three-row SUVs can be great, but the rear seats are often cramped for adults. Overall, the Murano measures about 193 inches long and 78 inches wide, which fits well into many people's lives; plus, it offers more than eight inches of ground clearance, so you won't worry every time you approach an inclined driveway or speed bump.
Inside, you'll find a well-designed and nicely styled interior that's both inviting and spacious for you and your passengers. You get more than 44 inches of legroom up front, while your rear-seat passengers still have more than 36 inches of legroom to enjoy. When it comes to loading up with the stuff you need, the Murano offers 32.9 cu.ft. of rear cargo space and more than 63 cu.ft. of total cargo volume behind the front seats. This gives you plenty of room to stretch out while also ensuring you can load up with shopping bags, luggage, camping gear, or anything else.
Impressive Comfort and Plenty of Luxury
The interior of vehicles like the Murano isn't just about room, of course; you also get remarkable comfort and luxury features. There are three trim levels, so what you'll find depends on which one you choose, but even the starting SV comes with heated front seats, an eight-way power driver's seat, and TailorFit leatherette seating to keep everyone comfortable.
Looking at the top-tier Platinum trim, you'll find numerous upgrades, including heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a heated steering wheel that's perfect for cold winter mornings. The Platinum trim even comes with semi-aniline quilted leather upholstery, as well as massaging functionality for both the driver and front passenger. Lastly, with a panoramic moonroof on the SL and Platinum trims, you get a gorgeous view of the sky overhead whenever you hit the road.
Innovative Technology to Enhance the Drive
Nissan hasn't limited its impressive interior features to comfort, so you'll find a wide range of remarkable technology inside the Murano. Looking at the starting trim, the SV comes with a 12.3-inch multifunction information screen in the instrument cluster, paired with a NissanConnect 12.3-inch infotainment display. This makes it easy to stay connected to friends and family, track navigation info, and play music through the six-speaker sound system. You get remote engine start functionality through the key fob, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and even a wireless charging pad up front.
Moving up to higher trims unlocks a number of impressive upgrades and enhancements to take your time on the road even further. You get Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa support with voice recognition on the SL and Platinum trims, along with built-in navigation functionality with real-time traffic display to make your daily drive easier. These two trims come with a stunning 10-speaker Bose Premium sound system that transforms your cabin into a mobile concert hall, along with a Wi-Fi hotspot and much more that come together to make this one of the finest SUVs on the road.
Nissan Safety Shield 360: Get There Safely
As much as we love things like massaging seats and evocative sound systems, nothing is more important than how well your vehicle protects you and your loved ones. Nissan understands this, and that's why every Murano comes with Nissan Safety Shield 360 included. This is a suite of driver assistance technologies that includes an Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Automatic Braking, and a Blind Spot Warning designed to let you know when someone is lurking where you might not be able to see them.
You get a Lane Departure Warning that alerts you if you're drifting from your lane, a High Beam Assist that switches off your high beams when oncoming traffic is detected, Traffic Sign Recognition to help you stay on top of current speed limits while driving, Hill Start Assist to keep you from rolling backward when moving from a stop on a hill, and an Intelligent Driver Alertness system to warn you if you seem tired or distracted. Higher trims even include an HD Enhanced Intelligent 3D Around View Monitor system that gives you a virtual view of the area around your vehicle. All of this helps get you home safely every day.
Is the Nissan Murano Perfect for You?
You're probably asking yourself that question at this point, and the answer comes down to what you're looking for. If you want the spacious design and beautiful styling of an award-winning midsize SUV, then this is one to check out. Even if you go with the standard trim, you get excellent performance, a spacious interior, and excellent tech features inside and out.
Moving up to higher trims enhances your experience in a number of ways; deciding on the right one can be tricky with so many terrific features offered. That's why it's great to have someone by your side to help you figure it all out. At Reineke Nissan, we're happy to show you the 2025 Murano and everything it has to offer-along with the rest of the Nissan lineup-to make sure you drive away in the perfect vehicle.
