The 2026 Nissan Murano is a midsize crossover SUV with a two-row, five-passenger body style. Vehicles in this segment include the Honda Passport, Chevrolet Blazer, and Toyota Venza, compared on interior room, technology, and price. The 2026 model carries forward the current generation with updates that make all-wheel drive standard across trims. Its powertrain uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder VC-Turbo engine with 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired to a nine-speed automatic transmission.
NissanConnect provides the infotainment interface with dual 12.3-inch digital screens for the gauge cluster and central touchscreen. SL and Platinum trims include Google built-in for Maps, Assistant, and Play apps, plus wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, available Wi-Fi hotspot, and USB-C ports. The 2026 updates add ProPilot 2.1 to higher trims for hands-free highway driving and lane changes, along with active noise cancellation and available Bose audio. The MyNISSAN app handles remote start, vehicle location, service scheduling, and over-the-air updates to apply software changes remotely.
