Overview

Nissan has redesigned its Murano for 2025. The new model has fresh-looking styling and some notable updates. There's a stylish cabin design, the addition of Nissan's latest infotainment and technology features, and a new engine under the hood. We're not really sure why Nissan changed it up — the new turbocharged four-cylinder is similar to last year's V6 in acceleration and fuel economy — but this two-row SUV still has enough get-up-and-go to hustle it up to highway speeds without too much trouble. The Murano continues to occupy an unusual SUV niche, however. It's more expensive than the Rogue in Nissan's lineup and that's less about size (it's actually smaller in some key areas) and more about its elevated design, higher-quality cabin materials and greater performance.

Edmunds spotlight: All-new yet old-school

If you bought an SUV back in the 1990s, there's a very good chance it was a two-row midsize model. The popularity of these vehicles started the SUV trend, while car-based crossover models like the original Murano increased the SUV's status as America's go-to family vehicle. Today, though, the Murano is one of only a few two-row midsize models — and they're not especially popular. Part of that is because compact models, such as Nissan's own Rogue, have become so spacious in recent years that there's little reason to buy a midsize. As such, the Murano is positioned as a premium pick to justify its elevated price. There's logic to that, but that price also puts the Murano up against various three-row midsize models as well as two-row luxury models.

Competitors to consider

The Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe are similar in price, feature content and available performance, but they manage to squeeze in a third row (and extra cargo space) without ballooning to extreme family hauler proportions. The Chevrolet Blazer is similar to the Murano in terms of its body style and seat count, as well as its emphasis on style. The new Honda Passport is another five-passenger midsize model, but it is much more spacious and has adopted a more off-roading vibe for its latest generation. Finally, luxury models like the Acura RDX, Lexus NX and Lincoln Corsair provide comparable size and equipment for not that much more money.

Which Murano does Edmunds recommend?

We would recommend the Murano SV. Sure, it's the base trim but it comes well equipped and gives you the best value of the lineup. The SL and Platinum have some desirable upgrades, but considering their higher price, you might want to consider a luxury SUV instead.

Sound of Silence!

2025 Nissan Murano Platinum 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

I've had the 2025 Platinum version now for 2 months. What I find best is the time Nissan took to make sure the cabin was quiet. From the fan motor, to the windows going up and down, cabin noise cancelling technology, low engine noise with regular acceleration. Have over 3,500km on it so far and no issues.
