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
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2025 Nissan Murano that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
The four-cylinder 2025 Murano actually loses 19 horsepower relative to its V6-powered predecessor, but it gains a bit of torque on the other side of the ledger. Still, given that the new model is significantly heavier, it's hard to argue that it moves the needle at all in terms of performance. At least it comes with a conventional nine-speed automatic rather than the outgoing model's CVT.
Adding AWD only boosts the Murano's weight by 140 pounds or so. Do you need it? The reality is that you probably don't, as the standard Murano is a front-wheel-drive SUV with all manner of stability-control tricks up its sleeve for when things get slippery.
