If you want a midsize SUV with a comfortable interior, modern technology and confident performance, the 2027 Nissan Murano is worth a closer look. It seats five passengers, comes standard with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive and features a turbocharged engine designed for everyday commuting and highway travel.
For drivers around Neptune Township and the Jersey Shore, the Murano offers passenger space, convenience and available upscale features without the extra size of a three-row SUV. Before visiting Sansone Jr.’s 66 Nissan, explore these frequently asked questions to see whether the 2027 Murano fits your needs.
What Is New for the 2027 Nissan Murano?
The 2027 Nissan Murano is available in three grades: SL, Dark Armor and Platinum. All three come with standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, giving shoppers a choice of styling and equipment without having to select a separate trim for AWD.
The SL offers a well-equipped starting point with modern infotainment and convenience features. Dark Armor stands out with gloss-black exterior accents, distinctive badging and 21-inch gloss-black wheels. At the top of the lineup, the Platinum adds upscale details, including quilted semi-aniline leather-appointed seats and massaging front seats.
Available comfort and technology features vary by grade and package, so it is worth comparing the equipment on the specific Murano you are considering.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2027 Nissan Murano Have?
The 2027 Nissan Murano uses a 2.0-liter VC-Turbo four-cylinder engine that produces 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission sends power to the standard all-wheel-drive system.
This combination is designed for everyday driving, from merging onto the Garden State Parkway to passing slower traffic on the highway. The Murano prioritizes comfortable, confident road performance rather than heavy-duty towing or off-road use.
What Is the MPG on the 2027 Nissan Murano?
The 2027 Nissan Murano has EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 21 mpg in the city, 27 mpg on the highway and 23 mpg combined. Actual mileage varies with driving habits, traffic, weather and road conditions.
For New Jersey drivers who regularly travel between local streets and highway routes, these figures offer a useful starting point when comparing the Murano with other midsize SUVs. Your commute and typical driving conditions will influence your real-world fuel economy.
Does the 2027 Nissan Murano Have All-Wheel Drive?
Yes. Intelligent All-Wheel Drive comes standard on every 2027 Nissan Murano grade.
The system monitors road conditions and can respond to help provide traction as conditions change. The Murano also has increased ground clearance that can help when navigating uneven surfaces.
AWD can be helpful on wet or snow-covered roads, but it does not eliminate the risk of skidding or replace appropriate tires and careful driving in slippery conditions.
How Much Cargo Space Does the 2027 Nissan Murano Have?
The 2027 Nissan Murano offers 32.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row and up to 63.5 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.
That flexibility can come in handy for grocery trips, luggage, shopping bags and equipment for weekend activities. The split-folding rear seats also make it easier to accommodate longer items when you do not need all five passenger seats.
If you regularly carry passengers and cargo at the same time, check the available space in person to see how easily your everyday items fit.
How Many Passengers Can the 2027 Nissan Murano Seat?
The 2027 Nissan Murano seats up to five people across two rows. Its layout makes it a practical option for couples, smaller families and drivers who want a spacious cabin without moving up to a three-row SUV.
Depending on the grade and equipment, comfort features can include heated and ventilated front seats, massaging front seats, heated rear outboard seats and rear door sunshades. These options may appeal to drivers who spend a lot of time commuting or frequently travel with passengers.
What Technology Comes in the 2027 Nissan Murano?
The 2027 Murano features dual 12.3-inch displays that put infotainment functions and driving information within easy reach. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility make it convenient to connect a compatible smartphone, while Google built-in is included on the Dark Armor and Platinum grades.
Depending on the trim and equipment, shoppers can also find a Bose Premium Audio System, a head-up display and connected services through the MyNISSAN app. Available camera technology, including the HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor and Invisible Hood View, can help drivers see more of their surroundings when maneuvering in tight spaces.
Equipment varies by grade and package, so check the specifications of the particular Murano you are considering before making your decision.
What Safety Features Are Available on the 2027 Nissan Murano?
The 2027 Nissan Murano comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield 360, a collection of driver-assistance features designed to help monitor surrounding traffic. The suite includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Automatic Braking, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning and High Beam Assist.
Standard ProPILOT Assist helps drivers manage certain highway and stop-and-go driving situations by combining Intelligent Cruise Control with steering assistance. ProPILOT Assist 2.1 is available with the Platinum Technology Package and supports hands-off, foot-off driving in certain situations when system requirements are met.
These technologies can provide additional support during everyday drives, but they do not replace paying attention to the road or remaining responsible for the vehicle. Drivers should review the owner's manual to understand each system's capabilities and limitations.
Can the 2027 Nissan Murano Tow a Trailer?
The 2027 Nissan Murano has a maximum towing capacity of up to 1,500 pounds. Actual towing capability depends on the loaded trailer, vehicle payload, equipment and driving conditions.
This capacity may be sufficient for certain lightweight trailers, but shoppers with larger towing needs should consider a vehicle designed for greater towing capability. Before towing, confirm the loaded trailer weight and equipment requirements in the owner's manual.
Which 2027 Nissan Murano Trim Is Right for Me?
The right Murano grade depends on which features matter most to you.
The SL is a good starting point if you want standard AWD, modern infotainment and everyday comfort features. The Dark Armor adds a more distinctive appearance with black exterior accents and gloss-black wheels, along with additional technology features. The Platinum is worth considering if you want a more upscale cabin, including quilted leather-appointed seating and massaging front seats.
Think about which comfort and technology features you would use regularly, as well as which styling you prefer. Comparing the available grades can help you decide which version best fits your budget and driving needs.
