ProPILOT Assist Comes Standard on the 2027 Nissan Murano: What It Does on a Long Drive

Long highway drives have a way of wearing you down. Hours of holding a steady speed, keeping a safe gap and staying centred in your lane add up, even on a smooth road with light traffic.

That is where driver-assistance technology earns its place. On the 2027 Nissan Murano, ProPILOT Assist is standard on both grades in the lineup, Dark Armor and Platinum. Here is a friendly look at what the system does, what it asks of you, and the other features that make the Murano a relaxed road-trip partner.

What Is ProPILOT Assist?

ProPILOT Assist is Nissan’s highway driving aid. On the 2027 Murano, it pairs two systems:

• Intelligent Cruise Control, which helps manage your speed and the space between your Murano and the vehicle ahead
• Steering Assist, which helps keep the Murano centred in its lane

Working together, the two help with acceleration, braking and steering on the highway. You set the system up with the controls on the steering wheel, and the Murano handles part of the steady, repetitive work that makes long drives tiring.

How It Helps on a Long Drive

Think about a full day on a divided highway. Traffic speeds up and slows down, and you make small steering corrections every few seconds. ProPILOT Assist shares that load.

When the traffic ahead slows, Intelligent Cruise Control helps your Murano slow with it. When the road opens up again, it helps bring you back toward the speed you set. Meanwhile, Steering Assist helps hold your position in the lane through long, gentle curves.

The result is a calmer drive. You stay in charge, with a bit less effort on each kilometre.

What ProPILOT Assist Asks of You

ProPILOT Assist is a helper, and Nissan is clear about its limits. Keep these points in mind:

• Keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times
• Watch traffic and stay ready to steer, brake or accelerate when needed
• The system works only when it can detect lane markings
• It does not function in all weather, traffic and road conditions

ProPILOT Assist cannot prevent collisions, and the driver is always responsible for control of the vehicle. Snow-covered or faded lane lines are a good example of a time when you should expect to drive without it. The owner’s manual has the full safety details.

Standard Safety Features That Back It Up

ProPILOT Assist sits within Nissan Safety Shield 360 and a long list of standard driver aids on every 2027 Murano. On a long trip, these are especially useful:

• Intelligent Driver Alertness watches for signs of reduced attention or drowsiness and alerts you
• Traffic Sign Recognition helps you keep track of road signs along the way
• Blind Spot Warning and Blind Spot Intervention help with lane changes
• Intelligent Lane Intervention and Emergency Lane Keep for oncoming traffic and road edges help guard against drifting
• Intelligent Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking keep an eye on the road ahead

Comfort for the Long Haul

A good road-trip vehicle has to be comfortable after the fourth hour too. The 2027 Murano backs up ProPILOT Assist with standard features that make the kilometres easier.

Active Noise Cancellation and Active Sound Control help keep the cabin quiet. Nissan Zero Gravity outboard rear seats help rear passengers settle in. A Bose 10-speaker audio system, dual 12.3-inch displays and Google built-in with Google Maps and Google Assistant keep music and navigation close at hand.

Under the hood, a 2.0 L 4-cylinder VC-Turbo engine makes 241 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. The Murano is rated at 8.6 L/100 km on the highway, with a 71-litre fuel tank.

The Platinum grade adds ventilated and massaging front seats with 4-way power lumbar support, a nice bonus on a long drive.
