What's doing the work when you merge onto US-27? That's the 2.0-liter VC-Turbo inline-4 in every 2027 Nissan Murano, making 241 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 260 lb-ft of torque. It takes regular unleaded gasoline, and its 9-speed automatic comes with paddle shifters.

All three grades come with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, keeping an eye on road conditions and reacting to help provide traction. A Drive Mode Selector switches between Standard, Eco, Sport and Snow. Driving north for the holidays? Snow Mode is made for snowy and frozen roads, so save it for those.

• DOHC 16-valve turbo inline-4 good for 241 hp, 260 lb-ft
• Variable compression between 8.0:1 and 14.0:1
• EPA-estimated mpg: 21 city, 27 highway, 23 combined; actual mileage varies

Who picks the music when friends are in town? Let them sort it out, since wireless Apple CarPlay integration, wireless Android Auto compatibility and two USB-C ports per row come on each 2027 Nissan Murano. The dual 12.3-inch displays on all three grades pair a digital dashboard with a NissanConnect touch-screen.

On SL, six speakers carry the AM/FM audio system. Move to a Dark Armor or Platinum for the Bose Premium Audio System with 10 speakers and, with a NissanConnect Services subscription, Google built-in (think Google Maps and Google Assistant). Platinum can add a Head-Up Display through the Technology Package.

• Qi2 Wireless Charger standard across the lineup
• Streaming Audio via Bluetooth on every grade
• Wi-Fi Hotspot, by subscription, on Dark Armor and Platinum

With visiting family aboard on CR-470, what's watching out for you? On every 2027 Nissan Murano, that's Nissan Safety Shield 360, six features that look ahead, behind and alongside you, plus ProPILOT Assist, which combines Intelligent Cruise Control with steering assist. Both hands belong on the wheel, because these technologies can't prevent all collisions or warn in all situations.

How does it rate? A 5-star overall rating from NHTSA for the 2027 model year, and IIHS lists the 2026-27 Murano as a 2026 TOP SAFETY PICK+. Want hands-off freeway driving? ProPILOT Assist 2.1, available on Platinum with the Technology Package, allows it in a single lane for an attentive driver, with a NissanConnect Services subscription.

• Backing out: Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Automatic Braking

What will the neighbors notice first on the 2027 Nissan Murano? Probably the lighting: ultra-thin LED headlights and full-width LED tail lights on every grade. Then the wheels. SL's 20-inch wheels are Gun Metallic aluminum-alloy, and Platinum's machine-finished 21-inch wheels get Gun Metallic aero covers.

Spot a Murano on 21-inch gloss black wheels with gloss black aero covers, wearing a Dark Armor badge on each front door panel? That's the Dark Armor, and those details are its alone. Gloss black Nissan badges and bumper accents plus Dark Armor window and side moldings finish it off, in six available colors.

• High Beam Assist and LED signature Daytime Running Lights, all grades
• Two-tone paint with Super Black, available on Dark Armor and Platinum
• On Platinum: automatic rain-sensing wipers, power-folding outside mirrors
• Integrated rear spoiler and rear privacy glass throughout
• Rated to tow up to 1,500 lbs; capacity varies by configuration

Company in town means a full car on the way to Venetian Gardens. Two rows in the 2027 Nissan Murano hold five, with 44.3 inches of front legroom on every grade. Upholstery runs from Prima-Tex on SL through perforated Prima-Tex on Dark Armor to quilted semi-aniline leather-appointed seats on Platinum.

And when the guests bring luggage? A power liftgate on every grade opens to 32.9 cu ft behind the second row, or 63.5 cu ft with those 60/40-split seats folded flat. Weight and distribution limit cargo and load capacity, and Nissan says to always secure cargo.

• Zero Gravity Seat design up front
• Heated front seats on SL and Dark Armor
• Platinum front seats are heated, cooled and massaging
• Dark Armor, Platinum: panoramic moonroof, 64-color ambient lighting
