2026 Nissan Murano Guide: Specs, Cargo, ProPILOT

The 2026 Nissan Murano is a five-seat midsize crossover with a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder, standard all-wheel drive and dual 12.3-inch displays. If you drive the I-15 between Victorville, Hesperia and Apple Valley, here is what Nissan lists for the engine, grades, fuel economy, cargo space and driver-assist features, plus what changes for 2027.

• 241 hp and 260 lb-ft from the 2.0L VC-Turbo, per Nissan.
• 63.5 cu ft of cargo volume with the second row folded.
• Standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.

Engine and Drivetrain

The 2026 Murano has a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (Nissan calls it VC-Turbo) that Nissan lists at 241 hp at 5,600 rpm and 260 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm. It is paired with a 9-speed automatic and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. Nissan’s press kit lists no front-wheel-drive version for 2026. A drive mode selector and paddle shifters are listed as standard.

Grades: SV, SL and Platinum

Nissan lists three grades for 2026. Here is what the press kit says sets them apart.

• SV: 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, a 6-speaker audio system and ProPILOT Assist.
• SL: 20-inch wheels, a Bose Premium Series audio system with 10 speakers and a panoramic moonroof with a powered shade. An SL Comfort package adds ventilated, massaging front seats, heated rear seats and a motion-activated power liftgate.
• Platinum: 21-inch wheels, the Bose system and the panoramic moonroof. ProPILOT Assist 2.1 is optional through the Technology package.

Packages and availability can change, so check the specific Murano you are looking at.

Fuel Economy and Towing

Nissan lists EPA estimates of 21 city, 27 highway and 23 combined for the all-wheel-drive Murano. Your mileage will vary.

Towing is listed at 1,500 pounds. Nissan notes that towing capacity is affected by vehicle payload and other conditions, so confirm the numbers for your setup before you tow anything.

Cabin and Cargo Space

• Seating: 5 passengers.
• Cargo volume: 32.9 cubic feet behind the second row and 63.5 cubic feet with the second row folded flat.
• Front legroom: 44.3 inches. Rear legroom: 36.3 inches.
• Passenger volume: 112.0 cubic feet on the SV and 107.1 cubic feet on the SL and Platinum.

Nissan says the rear seats have more knee room than the previous Murano. For a side by side look at Murano cargo and interior space, see our Murano and Kicks cargo and interior comparison.

Technology and Audio

Nissan lists dual 12.3-inch displays, one for the infotainment screen and one for the instrument cluster. The SV has a 6-speaker audio system, and the SL and Platinum have a 10-speaker Bose Premium Series system.

Safety and ProPILOT Assist

Nissan Safety Shield 360 is listed with Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. ProPILOT Assist is listed as standard, with Intelligent Cruise Control and Steering Assist.

New for 2026, Nissan lists ProPILOT Assist 2.1, which allows hands-off driving on compatible freeways, as optional on the Platinum through the Technology package. Driver-assist features have limits, and you must stay attentive and keep control of the vehicle. For more, read our post on how ProPILOT Assist works.

2026 vs 2027 Murano

Nissan has published a press kit for the 2027 Murano. The engine, transmission, all-wheel drive, 1,500 pound towing rating, cargo volume and EPA estimates it lists match the 2026 numbers above. Here is what Nissan lists as new for 2027:

• Grades change to SL, Dark Armor and Platinum.
• A Dark Armor edition adds gloss black side and window molding, sportier bumpers, a Dark Armor badge and 21-inch black alloy wheels.
• Snow Mode is added as a drive option for all grades.
• Google built-in is listed on the Dark Armor and Platinum.

Nissan’s kit does not give an on-sale date for the 2027 Murano, so ask us what is on the lot and what is expected to arrive.

Who the Murano Fits, and Honest Limits

• Small families and couples: five seats and 63.5 cubic feet of cargo space with the second row folded.
• Highway drivers: the 241 hp turbo four, standard all-wheel drive and ProPILOT Assist suit long drives on the 15.
• Drivers who want a well equipped cabin: dual 12.3-inch displays, and Bose audio on the SL and Platinum.

The Murano seats five and has no third row, so look at a larger SUV if you regularly carry more people. At 21 city and 23 combined (EPA-estimated), fuel economy is not its strong suit, and the 1,500 pound tow rating is meant for light loads. Intelligent All-Wheel Drive helps with traction but is not an off-road system.
