Engine Specs and MPG Ratings

The 2026 Nissan Murano continues to impress with its refined and efficient powertrain. The crossover is powered by a 2.0-liter Variable Compression Turbo (VC-Turbo) engine, producing 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. While this represents a slight decrease in peak horsepower compared to the previous V6, the new nine-speed automatic transmission replaces the outgoing CVT, offering sharper responsiveness and a more engaging, dynamic driving experience. Despite the change in engine configuration, the 2026 Murano delivers confident acceleration for daily commuting, highway cruising, or weekend road trips. Fuel efficiency remains competitive for the midsize crossover segment, with an estimated 21 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway, making it a practical and capable choice for drivers seeking both performance and efficiency.

Interior Review

While the exterior of the 2026 Nissan Murano continues to turn heads with its bold and sculpted design, the interior embraces a modern, refined, and minimalist aesthetic. Clean horizontal lines flow seamlessly across the cabin, while the dual digital displays for the driver and infotainment system create a sleek, tech-forward look. Haptic climate controls integrated into the wood-accented trim beneath the central screen enhance the Murano’s sophisticated and futuristic feel. Higher trims feature an upgraded Google-based infotainment system displayed on a 12.3-inch touchscreen with crisp visuals and intuitive controls. Google Maps provides navigation, and Google Assistant allows natural voice commands for hands-free convenience. Drivers can access apps such as Waze and Spotify through the Google Play Store. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto remain standard across all trims, while premium features like a Wi-Fi hotspot, Alexa integration, and a 10-speaker Bose audio system with Engine Harmonic Cancellation are available on upper trims, delivering a rich, immersive sound experience. The 2026 Murano is designed with thoughtful storage solutions throughout the cabin. Large cup holders, a wireless phone charger, and a small compartment within reach of the driver keep essentials organized. A roomy open area beneath the center console fits a bag or purse, with additional storage under the center armrest. Cargo space is practical, offering 32.9 cubic feet behind the rear seats, and folding the second row expands capacity to 63.5 cubic feet for larger items, making the Murano ideal for daily errands or weekend adventures.

Trim Options

The 2026 Nissan Murano is available in three well-equipped trim levels for buyers in Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Rocklin, and Lincoln: SV, SL, and Platinum. All-wheel drive is optional on the SV, while it comes standard on the SL and Platinum trims, providing enhanced traction and control in all driving conditions. The SV trim showcases faux leather upholstery, heated power-adjustable front seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control for a refined cabin experience. Technology highlights include a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a six-speaker audio system, USB-C ports for front and rear passengers, active noise cancellation, and push-button start. The SV rides on stylish 20-inch alloy wheels, and drivers can opt for all-wheel drive for added confidence. The SL trim elevates the experience with additional comfort and convenience including a heated steering wheel, enhanced cabin insulation, and a panoramic sunroof. The Bose premium 10-speaker audio system, Google-based infotainment with Alexa Built-in, and a Wi-Fi hotspot ensure seamless connectivity. Ambient LED interior lighting adds a premium touch, while the around-view monitor with a 360-degree camera system makes parking easier. Nissan’s ProPILOT Assist 1.1 enhances highway driving by combining intelligent cruise control with steering assistance. At the top, the Platinum trim delivers ultimate luxury and advanced features. Seats are wrapped in semi-aniline leather and include heating, ventilation, and a built-in massage function. Additional amenities include a power-tilt steering wheel, power-folding mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, a head-up display, and a motion-activated power liftgate for effortless cargo access. The Platinum trim rides on bold 21-inch alloy wheels, distinguishing it as the most premium option in the 2026 Murano lineup.
