The all-new 2025 Nissan Murano boldly elevates the crossover with more premium design, numerous Murano-first technologies and an even more accommodating cabin. Imagined to deliver a more sanctuary-like experience for everyday commutes, road trips and beyond, Murano leverages technologies to simplify the drive, while rewarding owners with a delightfully elegant design. Building on a foundation of progressive elegance, the all-new Murano has a seamless, solid and clean design. Striking proportions include a more than 2.6-inch increase in overall body width and gracefully flared rear fenders that impart a sense of power. The remarkably clean front end of Murano includes ultra-thin “Crystal Cube” LED headlights at either side of a gloss-black trim strip, separated from the vehicle’s grille. Nissan’s well-known V-motion graphic is produced by LED daytime running lights “hidden” inside the grille, executing a clean and modern appearance. Murano’s liftgate is similarly notable for a clean and crisp design: the rear wiper is housed above the rear window, the exhaust tips are hidden and the license plate holder is moved to the lower bumper. Across the sleek liftgate, a dramatic LED taillight element spans the entire width of Murano’s rear, producing a distinctive lighting signature at night. Elevated hospitality within Nissan designers crafted an interior that is modern, minimalist and elegant. Its major elements are thoughtfully arranged on a horizontal design theme. For instance, the standard dual 12.3-inch displays are wrapped into their surroundings with stitched materials; when seated, occupants’ bodies touch only soft materials. Similar to the all-electric Nissan ARIYA, Murano makes use of a capacitive-touch panel for the climate controls. Additionally, push-button shifters free up center console space for storage, cup holders and the standard wireless phone charging pad. A unique dashboard finisher called Murano Glass incorporates colour-shift graphics and textures that play with light. Inspired by and named for the famed Venetian glassworks that gave the crossover its name, this multi-leveled feature exemplifies the vehicle’s attention to craftsmanship and high-quality details. The three interior colour themes were inspired by the inimitable light quality of golden hour – just before sunset. Semi-aniline quilted leather-appointed seats on the Platinum grade are finely detailed. Murano comes standard with heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and heated washer nozzles. An abundance of available premium features also help render the cabin even more hospitable, including a panoramic moonroof; ventilated and massaging front seats; heated windshield, and 64-colour ambient lighting throughout the cabin. A new-design steering wheel with a flatter bottom helps drivers enter the vehicle more comfortably, and the driver’s seat has a larger range of lift and slide adjustments to accommodate a wider range of driver physiques. Rear occupants are treated to available rear door sunshades and heated rear seats. There is also more knee room in the second row due to a thinner front seat design and 0.8-inch increased couple distance. For the first time in Murano, the rear seats adopt the Nissan Zero Gravity design, helping provide a more supportive posture for occupants. The rear doors now open wider than the previous generation Murano to ease ingress or load a child safety seat. Behind the 60/40 split flat-folding second row, the cargo area offers 931.6 litres of storage with the seats raised and 1,798 litres with them lowered. A power liftgate is standard, with Platinum adding a motion-activated power liftgate.
