Nissan should rename the Murano the “More-ano,” that’s how much more stuff the heavily revised SUV comes with as standard. For most of the lineup, the headline addition is standard all-wheel drive; previously all-wheel drive was a $1,700 option on every Murano. For 2025, only the entry-level Murano SV gets front-drive, and upgrading it to AWD costs just $1,000. The Murano SL and top-of-the-line Platinum trim levels get AWD standard.
The Murano’s display game has gone up, too, with a standard 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster joining a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, even on the base SV trim. Same goes for the Murano’s style, which besides being all-new for 2025, is enhanced by standard 20-inch wheels (up from last year’s 18s).
Underhood, the updated Murano gets Nissan’s VC-Turbo four-cylinder engine with variable compression and turbocharging that’s good for 241 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. That’s less horsepower but more torque than the 3.5-liter V-6 it replaces. Fuel economy, weirdly, stays nearly the same as before, with both 2024 and 2025 models posting the same 23 mpg combined. That figure applies to both front- and all-wheel-drive models.
For all this newness, you’ll only pay slightly more. The base Murano SV’s price goes up by $2,605, though its optional AWD’s price drops by $700. The other two trims now being AWD-only by default make them more expensive than in 2024, but comparing their MSRPs to similar all-wheel-drive-equipped Murano SL and Platinum models nets upcharges similar to those seen by the SV. The Murano is still priced on the low end of midsize, two-row mainstream SUVs, with pricing similar to Honda’s current Passport (a hotter, new model arrives for 2026) and Jeep’s lower-level Grand Cherokees.
