What's New for 2025?
The Murano finally turns the page, getting a full redesign after riding out the previous generation for a full decade. Highlights include a whole new look outside, a sleek new dashboard with widescreen infotainment, and a turbocharged four-cylinder engine under the hood that's linked to a nine-speed automatic — the first non-CVT (and non-V6) in the Murano's multi-decade history.
FAST FACTS
"Redesigned for 2025, the Murano tries to recapture the avant-garde vibe that used to set it apart. Check under the hood, though, and you'll find a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that actually makes less power than its predecessor's naturally aspirated V6. At least the fuel economy must be better now, right? Nope — the new Murano gets the same 23-mpg rating from the EPA as its predecessor. On the bright side, the reimagined interior sports an elegantly designed dashboard with up-to-date screen technology. It's one of the nicer driving environments in this class, but the Murano's subpar power and middling fuel economy hold it back."—Ranked #8 out of 9 Midsize SUVs
