Looking for a New SUV? The 2025 Nissan Murano Has 7 Updates Worth Checking Out

The all-new 2025 Nissan Murano offers practical improvements that address what SUV buyers want most: better comfort, smarter technology, and easier daily use. This fourth-generation model brings seven key updates that change how you experience your drive.

These changes come from years of owner feedback and real-world testing. Each improvement solves specific problems that drivers face every day, creating a crossover that works better for your routine.

Massaging Front Seats Reduce Long-Drive Fatigue

The 2025 Murano adds massaging front seats on the Platinum trim—a first for this model. The feature actively fights driver fatigue through gentle stimulation that improves blood flow during extended drives.

You control the intensity and pattern through simple controls, letting you customize the experience based on your comfort needs. The seats work with the available ventilation system to create an environment that keeps you alert and comfortable on both short commutes and long road trips.

The massaging function pairs with the 2-driver memory system, automatically adjusting to your preferred settings each time you get in. Your passenger gets the same level of customizable comfort, making road trips more enjoyable for both people up front.

Google Built-In Brings Familiar Apps to Your Dashboard

Instead of forcing you to learn another interface, the 2025 Murano puts Google directly on your dashboard with SL and Platinum trims. This integration gives you immediate access to Google Maps with real-time traffic updates, Google Assistant for voice commands, and the Google Play Store for approved automotive apps.

The system responds to natural speech, letting you control climate settings, find nearby restaurants, or send messages without taking your hands off the wheel. Navigation becomes smarter too, learning your routine and suggesting better routes based on current conditions.

Your smartphone connects wirelessly across all trim levels through standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, eliminating the cable mess that complicates most vehicle entries. The system maintains a stable connection throughout your journey, creating continuity between your digital life and driving experience.

Invisible Hood View Shows What's Beneath Your Hood

Parking and tight manoeuvres become easier with the new Invisible Hood View technology. This system creates a virtual view through your hood, showing obstacles that would normally stay hidden beneath the front end.

The feature helps in tight parking situations, drive-through lanes, or positioning your vehicle precisely at charging stations. Combined with the enhanced 3D Intelligent Around View Monitor, you get eight different virtual views around the vehicle for complete awareness of your surroundings.

These camera technologies reduce the guesswork that often comes with urban driving, letting you navigate confidently in spaces that might otherwise require multiple attempts or create stress.

More Torque From the Turbocharged Engine

The 2025 Murano's 2.0-litre VC-Turbo engine now produces 260 lb-ft of torque—an increase of 20 lb-ft over the previous generation. This additional low-end torque improves acceleration from stops and provides more confident highway merging.

The 9-speed automatic transmission features paddle shifters for those moments you want more control over gear selection. The variable compression technology adjusts between 8:1 and 14:1 ratios depending on driving conditions, optimizing both performance and efficiency.

All trims include standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, providing the traction and confidence you expect from an SUV while maintaining the refined driving characteristics that set the Murano apart from truck-based competitors.

Bigger Cargo Space Fits More Gear

Behind the 60/40 split-folding rear seats, the 2025 Murano offers 931.6 litres of cargo space with all seats upright and 1,798 litres with the rear seats folded. This represents a practical increase in storage capacity over the previous generation.

The cargo area features a flat load floor and wide opening for easy loading of larger items. The standard power liftgate opens and closes with the touch of a button, while Platinum adds motion activation—simply wave your foot under the rear bumper to open the liftgate if your hands are full.

Power outlets and tie-down points help organize your cargo, while the wider opening makes it easier to load awkward items like sports equipment or large shopping purchases.

Better Interior Materials Improve Daily Comfort

The 2025 Murano's interior showcases materials and finishes typically found in vehicles costing much more. The unique "Murano Glass" dashboard finisher incorporates colour-shift graphics and textures that play with light, creating visual interest inspired by the Venetian glassworks that gave the crossover its name.

Semi-aniline quilted leather seats on the Platinum grade offer fine detailing and supple feel. The interior design follows a horizontal theme that creates a sense of spaciousness, while stitched materials around the dual 12.3-inch displays add visual refinement.

Available 64-colour ambient lighting lets you customize the cabin atmosphere to match your mood or the time of day. The lighting system draws inspiration from the warm quality of golden hour, creating a welcoming environment that makes every drive feel special.

More Safety Tech Comes Standard

The comprehensive Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite comes standard across all Murano trims, providing features like Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Warning, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert without requiring expensive option packages.

ProPILOT Assist on SV and ProPILOT Assist 1.1 on higher trims reduce highway driving fatigue by maintaining your lane position and following distance. The enhanced 1.1 system uses navigation data to anticipate curves and adjust speed ahead of time.

Additional safety improvements include relocated side mirrors that improve forward visibility, enhanced rear-seat protection through under-seat reinforcement, and seat belt load limiters for rear passengers. These changes reflect Nissan's focus on protecting all occupants, front and back.
