The Ultimate Fall Colour Tour: Why the 2025 Murano is Perfect for a Drive Along the Saint John River Valley

Fall in New Brunswick means one thing to locals: it's time to explore the Saint John River Valley. From Fredericton's historic streets to the scenic trails around Mactaquac Provincial Park, this route offers some of Canada's most spectacular autumn displays. The all-new 2025 Nissan Murano is at Fredericton Nissan, and it's designed to make every kilometre of your fall adventure memorable.

The 2025 Murano brings a fresh approach to crossover design with premium features that turn a simple drive into a luxurious experience. Its spacious cabin, advanced technology, and smooth handling make it the ideal companion for exploring New Brunswick's winding riverside roads and charming small towns.

A Smooth Ride for Scenic Routes

The Saint John River Valley's roads wind through rolling hills and around gentle curves—perfect terrain for the Murano's refined driving experience. Under the hood, the 2.0L VC-Turbo engine delivers 241 hp while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency for those longer excursions to Nackawic or Grand Falls.

The Murano's frequency-sensitive dampers automatically adjust to road conditions, ensuring a comfortable ride whether you're navigating Fredericton's downtown streets or exploring rural routes along the river. The electric power steering provides precise control on winding sections while remaining light and effortless during parking stops at scenic lookouts.

All Murano models come standard with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, providing confidence on wet autumn roads. The system automatically distributes power between wheels, helping maintain traction when leaves create slippery conditions on Route 105 or the backroads around Keswick Ridge.

Take in Every Detail Through the Panoramic Moonroof

Nothing beats experiencing fall colours from inside a vehicle equipped with Murano's available panoramic moonroof. This expansive glass panel spans nearly the entire roof, letting you and your passengers enjoy unobstructed views of the canopy above while remaining comfortable inside.

The moonroof features a power sunshade for when you want to control the light, and its one-touch operation makes it simple to open during those perfect autumn afternoons. The thinner design minimizes intrusion into headroom, so even taller passengers can enjoy the view comfortably.

For the full fall experience, combine the panoramic moonroof with the available 64-colour ambient lighting. As daylight fades during your evening return to Fredericton, the cabin's soft lighting creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere that extends the magic of your autumn drive.

Interior Comfort That Matches the Scenery

The 2025 Murano's cabin reflects the same thoughtful design you'll find in the valley's finest establishments. The standard dual 12.3-inch displays provide clear navigation and entertainment options, while the Murano Glass dashboard finisher adds an artistic touch inspired by Venetian glassworks.

Standard heated front seats and a heated steering wheel ensure comfort during crisp October mornings, while the available heated rear seats keep passengers comfortable throughout the journey. The Nissan Zero Gravity seat design in both rows helps reduce fatigue on longer trips, perfect for full-day explorations that might take you from Fredericton to the Hartland Covered Bridge and back.

Storage solutions throughout the cabin handle everything from cameras and snacks to extra layers. The centre console features wireless phone charging, keeping devices powered for navigation and photography opportunities at scenic stops.

Technology That Enhances Your Journey

The available Google Built-In system (on SL and Platinum grades) brings up-to-date Google Maps directly to the vehicle's dashboard, eliminating the need to connect your phone for navigation. Real-time traffic updates help you avoid congestion and discover alternative routes that might lead to unexpected autumn vistas.

The standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto ensure seamless connectivity for music, podcasts, or calls during your travels. The available Bose 10-speaker audio system (SL and Platinum) delivers rich sound quality that complements both conversation and your favourite road trip playlist.

Safety features like the available Invisible Hood View help when navigating tight spots at popular viewing locations, while the 3D Intelligent Around View Monitor provides multiple camera angles for confident parking at busy attractions like the Mactaquac Dam.
