“When we shaped the all-new Murano, we knew we wanted to make it an even more premium experience, a vehicle that looks like it should have a much more expensive price tag,” said Giovanny Arroba, Nissan’s design director at the vehicle’s unveiling at Nissan North America headquarters in Franklin, Tennessee. Arroba and his crew have succeeded. The front end features slim LED headlights visually connected by a thin trim bar.
Beneath it, the Murano’s daytime running lights are integrated into the horizontal front grille, much like the redesigned Nissan Kicks. Its clean, strong horizontal form lends strength to the front end. Out back, the taillamps are integrated into a single light bar.
In addition, the hatch has been decluttered by locating the wiper above the rear window and concealing the exhaust tips. The side window shape recalls that of the athletic Infiniti FX, while the black roof hides the body’s true shape, lending it more of a coupe-like appearance. It’s a vehicle that’s once more up-to-the-minute chic, with a cabin that boasts a spa-like ambience.
Front seats are large and comfortable with an ideal seating position. The rear row sits a bit low to provide head clearance. It affords a good view of the sunroof’s mechanicals, which are clearly visible — even though they shouldn’t be.
For most buyers, the updated tech package will be especially welcome, as it’s as overdue as the redesign. The 2025 Murano’s cabin now boasts dual 12.3-inch displays.
