2026 Nissan Murano

Price Range: $41,670 - $49,800

Average

The 2026 Nissan Murano is likable enough, especially if you simply want a comfortable and slightly upscale SUV. Beyond that, however, the Murano lacks the standout qualities to make it a more compelling pick.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Mark Takahashi

Updated: 11/8/2026

The 2026 Nissan Murano occupies an interesting niche. It's a midsize two-row SUV that tries to appeal with its luxury-like amenities rather than ultimate cargo space or a bargain price tag. It costs more than the similarly sized Nissan Rogue, putting it in direct competition with three-row midsize SUVs and even some luxury two-row haulers. But on its own terms, the Murano is a nice vehicle with a stylish interior and lots of standard driver aids. The addition of the ProPilot Assist 2.1 suite further bolsters its value statement for 2026; very few rivals offer a similar hands-free driving system. Whether those aspects are enough to make the Murano more impressive than its competition is another matter.

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Reese Counts

Average

6.2

out of 10

We drove the 2026 Nissan Murano on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

6.9/10

How does it drive? The latest Nissan Murano features a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. We've found it to be an upgrade over the Murano's previous V6 and continuously variable transmission. The benefits are immediately noticeable, with quicker acceleration both in the city and on the freeway. At our test track, the Murano sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in 7.4 seconds. This is a little slower than a Hyundai Santa Fe but quicker than a Honda Passport.

The Murano isn't particularly sporty or engaging to drive, but it does have a comfortable and relaxing ride quality. The suspension soaks up bumps and ruts in the road with ease. Otherwise, the Murano is pretty easy to drive. Visibility is OK, but the sharply angled windshield makes it harder to see out of the front of the Murano than some boxier and upright rivals. The Murano is available with a surround-view camera system to help with parking, along with a number of other driver aids. They mostly worked well in our testing, though the systems get a little flummoxed on tight roads. New for 2026 is the hands-free ProPilot Assist 2.1 highway driving system, which is available as part of a package on the Platinum trim.

Comfort

7.3/10

How comfortable is it? The Murano's front seats are among the most comfortable you'll find in a midsize SUV. They have soft padding, good support and enough adjustments to make long-distance driving easy. Our loaded test vehicle featured heated, ventilated and massaging front seats, and, along with a very quiet cabin, made for a very relaxed time behind the wheel. The Murano's climate system works great on hot days to keep you cool.

Second-row passengers won't be quite as cozy, but the Murano's bench seat offers good padding and more support than the benches in some rivals. Despite a sleek-looking roofline, the Murano offers decent headroom in both rows and is easy to get in and out of.

The Murano's interior looks nice, but the controls feel compromised by design choices. You have to access many of the Murano's settings and controls through the touchscreen, and they just aren't as convenient to use as regular physical buttons. The steering wheel also has touch-sensitive controls rather than real buttons. The climate control gets dedicated controls, but even those are just touch points on a panel.

In-cabin tech

7.1/10

How’s the tech? The Murano's dual 12.3-inch high-resolution displays look great. But the touchscreen's software interface itself is dated and a bit cumbersome to use. It's not always easy to find the right menu or settings without some digging.

The Murano comes with standard wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. A wireless charging pad is also standard. Nissan also has a smartphone app, but it doesn't give the Murano digital key functionality, which is where you can conveniently use your smartphone to serve as the vehicle's key.

Storage & cargo

4.6/10

How’s storage and cargo? The Murano offers 32.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and up to 63.5 cubic feet with the seats folded flat. That's on the small side for a midsize SUV, with less overall room than rivals like the Honda Passport or Mazda CX-70. The angle of the rear window cuts into cargo space too, limiting how tall items can be. There's still plenty of space, but there are more usable SUVs in this class.

Storage in the front of the cabin for small items includes a decent-sized center console and door pockets. There are small bins for your phone, sunglasses and garage door opener and reasonably large cupholders and bottle slots in the doors.

Value

6.4/10

Is it a good value? The Murano comes reasonably well equipped for the price. The list of standard equipment is solid, including a decent array of driver aids and technology features. It's more expensive than the average Nissan, but the Murano is far from the most expensive two-row midsize SUV around. It looks and feels relatively nice inside, too, especially in the loaded Platinum trim. There are nice materials on the seats and trim. While it's not luxury-car nice, it's easy to see why it commands a bit of a premium compared to other Nissans such as the Rogue and Pathfinder.

MPG

5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The Nissan Murano gets an EPA-estimated 23 mpg in combined city/highway driving, which is average for a midsize SUV. We matched the Murano's estimate in our real-world testing.

X factor

7/10

The fourth-generation Nissan Murano, like its predecessors, stands out in the Nissan lineup. It looks unlike anything else in Nissan's gas-powered lineup, sharing more design traits with the all-electric Nissan Ariya than with other Nissan SUVs like the Rogue and Pathfinder. The interior is much the same, offering a premium feel you won't find elsewhere in Nissan's showroom.

Buying Tips for the 2026 Nissan Murano for November

The 2026 Nissan Murano is one of those rare cases where the discounts and rebate really stack, with total savings now around $7,400 off MSRP.

Buyers are already paying about $2,400 below sticker on average, and Nissan adds an exact $5000 customer cash rebate on top. That puts the Edmunds Suggested Price well below MSRP. Savings are pretty consistent across trims at about 5% off, so you should expect a similar deal whether you shop SV, SL, or Platinum.
New inventory is healthy at 4,519 vehicles nationwide, so you should have room to comparison shop. The SL has the deepest supply, while SV stock is much tighter, so the SV may give you fewer color and option choices.
These new Muranos are taking a long time to sell at a median 153 days to turn, versus 34 days for the average new vehicle. That usually gives shoppers solid leverage because dealers may be more motivated to move aging inventory.
If you lease, the market is landing around $391 a month with about $4,800 due at signing on a 36-month, 12,000-mile plan. There are no special APR offers on the key 48-, 60-, or 72-month loan terms, so outside financing is worth checking.

2026 Nissan Murano trim level differences

The 2026 Nissan Murano is a five-passenger midsize SUV available in SV, SL and Platinum trim levels. All come with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive are standard on all trim levels. Compare the 2026 Nissan Murano trim levels in-depth.

Which Murano trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Murano doesn't come in a great variety of configurations, so choosing the right one for you isn't complicated. That said, there are two versions that we'd consider. The base SV model offers decent value given its high level of standard content and included all-wheel drive. A fully optioned Platinum with the Technology package is an intriguing choice. It gives the Murano a killer app in the form of the ProPilot Assist 2.1 suite, which offers hands-free driving on the highway. This feature is still relatively rare for non-luxury vehicles.

Competitors to consider

Check out the Honda Passport and Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport. Both are similar to the Murano in that they're midsize SUVs that have some personality. The redesigned 2026 Passport, in particular, should be pretty compelling. If you're looking to save a little cash and don't mind having a more practical-minded SUV, check out the Nissan Rogue.

Edmunds spotlight: How much is luxury worth to you?

The Nissan Murano is a decidedly nicer and more upscale vehicle than the Rogue. But the Rogue is more utilitarian and makes the most of its impressive cargo and passenger space. The Murano is more interested in style. It offers high-quality materials, and even the base trim comes very nicely equipped. Its exterior styling is also sportier and generally more appealing than cargo-conscious small SUVs like the Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4. If you only need five seats and want more niceties, the Murano is worth a look.

Love the new Murano

Ryan Gaaserud, 12/01/2025

2026 Nissan Murano SV 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

I bought my Murano at the end of July and I have sold at least 13 of them now. I can give a good breakdown of each trim level. I’m happy in the base model of the Murano you still get heated seats and the wireless car charging pad. Just crossed 8k miles in my SV Murano and it’s been great so far. I changed the oil and rotated the tires at 6500 miles. It’s gotten super smooth now but while … the powertrain is great it could be better. Especially while you are breaking the powertrain in there can be some inconsistency to how it feels driving day to day. The 2.0 L Turbo 4 Cyl paired with the 9 speed is definitely more satisfying and fun to drive than the V6 CVT combination. The V6 Murano has more power and takeoff from an idle position like a stoplight but that being said the new Turbo engine feels fast and powerful especially when you get through the first two gear shifts. The Murano just isn’t the type of vehicle meant to be fast 0-60 but like I said it feels powerful and fast even when compared to the previous V6. You don’t really need sport mode in the Murano because it has great pickup especially if it’s already moving and not idle but it can be fun when you are merging onto a highway or you want to pick up a lot of speed quickly. I also love the handling of the new Murano. It’s so sharp and responsive and the steering almost feels like it’s assisting and steering for you sometimes. The leatherette wrapped steering wheel itself is AMAZING it feels so good in your hands and the flat bottom is awesome. The handling and steering wheel itself may be my favorite part of the vehicle. Like the previous Murano’s the interior is amazing. Seats are super comfortable especially in the Platinum and the extra width they added to this model significantly increases space between your leg and the door and your leg and the middle console. Compared to my last Murano where my legs would touch the door and the console wall. The tech and displays are AMAZING. The tech and interior is where this Murano really blows away the previous generation. Double 12.3 inch displays with crystal clear camera quality and 360 camera on SL and Platinum trims. You also get built in google maps and google assistant on SL and Platinum Trims. The interior of the 25 is just overall much nicer and more spacious then the previous. Apple car play and Android auto are wireless on all trims. As someone who sells them and has driven each trim a lot I will breakdown which trim is the best value and what you add between trims. The SL additions you don’t get on the SV -Ambient Lighting -Silver trim along the front dash reflects rainbow and changes texture -Google maps and Google Assistant -Panoramic Moon Roof -Option of full Alloy Wheels -Heated Steering Platinum Additions from SL -Cooled Seats -Massage Seats -Premium Semi Aniline Leather with 3 color options (more comfortable seats and an upgrade from leatherette) Beat value is probably the SL but you can argue the SV. I think every trim level is overpriced by about 4k. If they lowered the base price of them, they would all be priced where they should be. BUT that being said, Nissan gives big discounts on the Murano, and if you have good credit, you can get 0% APR. A few months ago when I bought my SV, I got it for 36,500. A 7,500 discount from the sticker price of 44k. Also, no, that discount wasn’t because I worked there; that was just the dealer cash and rebates Nissan was giving to sell the Murano. They aren’t still doing rebates and incentives that big RIGHT NOW, but if you don’t qualify for 0%, you can still negotiate 3 to 4k off each trim level pretty easily, and if you do qualify for 0%, you can still get a couple thousand off if you negotiate. Overall, great car, and it’s too early to give it a reliability and longevity score, but I think if you properly maintain the Murano, it will last a long time. The previous generation just won the JD Power 3-year reliability for midsize SUVs; it’s only 3 years of data, but in that 3 years, the Murano has been found to have the least issues. Not really too relevant to the new model since it has a new powertrain, plus it feels like and is a completely different vehicle than the previous gen. My point is I think Nissan is a great and underrated brand right now. Final Verdict I love the new Murano and I like it significantly more than my 2023 and the previous gen. Love the Turbo 9 Speed combination. It is so satisfying and smooth. Exterior looks super sharp and I have gotten quite a few compliments on the look and people asking me if it’s electric. It’s a quiet car. The 9 speed can be a little loud on occasion, which factors into my inconsistency statement regarding the powertrain. I love the little faint whistle of the Turbo when you accelerate. I talked to some of the other owners I’ve sold and they all are really enjoying it as well.
