The Murano does not look or feel like other midsize SUVs, and that is the point. Nissan’s design team has consistently given the Murano a distinct visual identity, and the current generation continues that tradition with sweeping bodywork, a bold front end, and an interior built around comfort and quiet rather than cargo box volume.
The powertrain prioritizes refinement over raw numbers, with smooth, confident power delivery that pairs well with available AWD for New England winter driving. Cabin noise isolation is notably well-managed, making highway miles on I-190 or Route 2 feel easy rather than draining. The panoramic sunroof available on upper trims makes the interior feel genuinely open in a way that changes how the vehicle wears its size.
The Murano fits a buyer who has developed preferences beyond price and MPG. They have owned enough vehicles to know what a well-sorted suspension feels like, what a premium audio system sounds like, and how much a thoughtfully designed interior matters over the life of a purchase. They want an SUV that seats five comfortably, handles Boston-area traffic without stress, and turns heads in a Leominster parking lot in a way most midsize SUVs simply do not.
It is a strong fit for professionals, empty nesters moving up from a mainstream crossover, and buyers who are comparing it against European entries in the same segment. The Murano holds its own on interior quality and driving refinement at a significantly more approachable ownership cost, and that comparison lands differently after a test drive.
The 2027 Murano lineup runs from a well-appointed base through the Platinum grade, with each tier adding meaningfully. Heated and ventilated front seats, a premium Bose audio system, a hands-free power liftgate, a head-up display, and an expanded suite of driver assistance technology are available as buyers move up the range. AWD is available across trims for buyers who prioritize all-season confidence. Even the entry configuration carries a level of standard equipment that exceeds what buyers typically expect at this price tier, making the Murano’s value case strong from the base up.

If you are cross-shopping the Murano against other midsize entries, seeing it in person does most of the selling.
