THEYRE BACK!!! 😊. As a longtime Nissan Service Manager. I am proud the product has a soul with quality again. Thanks for doing these amazing reviews.

[@marvinmurakami8828]

Nissan got rid of cost cutting Carlos Ghosn a few years ago and now are on the right track.

[@nickstark8640]

The Murano this replaces has just 40.5 inches of front legroom. This new model has over 44 inches. That is why the rear legroom in the rear is smaller. Once that front seat is moved forward the rear legroom is actually a little bigger than the model it replaces.

[@ibrahimbashir6634]

Nissans are just stunning Probably the best design language in Japanese brands..

[@leonblack751]

Nissan is killing it now the kicks now this awesome

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Excellent review! I personally thought the last generation Murano was one of the best looking crossovers around so glad to see a refresh rather than discontinuation.😸

[@dustinmorris13]

It is a stunning vehicle, except for the front end. They tried to mimic the Kicks front end, except this doesn't work for the Murano. The weird black bar between the headlamps looks very weird and doesn't work at all. They made a major miss not making the DRL's as a sequential signal. Everything else is absolutely great! This is leaps and bounds nicer than a Crown and RX.

[@jacksonndoll5055]

Mimic the Hyundai Tucson

[@scottconrad4719]

Don’t disagree but have you seen a Lexus lately?

[@ejohnson3131]

To me the front, at least the headlights, looks like a 1990s Nissan 350ZX

[@frederickmiller5492]

i agree the black strip across the front is a little off-putting - not sure what i'd put there. I do think, overall, the car looks great. I just wish it had a bit more power.

[@realsleepi]

it does have a strange front, but I don't hate it tbh, i like how modern it looks

[@joevanseeters2873]

That Murano definitely LOOKS very modern. Nice job on the style Nissan.

[@rkenon86]

Infiniti should make a version and bring back the QX70 with the detuned 3.0 single or twin turbo V6 with 350 hp that would help them

[@limitedreach4446]

[@collinsmwangi2079]

Thats a beautiful suv the interior and the back is my favorite the front is controversial but i personally think it looks way better than overpriced lexus

[@Pea-G]

Excited to hear what will come out of the non cvt Nissans!

[@occckid123]

Yes now you have 9 gears to be frustrated about switching constantly. Yay...

[@jonwear9791]

Very nice-looking SUV 👍

[@dwe2a]

Had a 2017.5 Platinum. Had every option except AWD. Loved it until I was T-Boned and it was totaled. But it protected me very well. It was a similar color to the one in this video. I love this version.

[@Rifq2day]

I like it. The headlight and the turn signal aren't so close to each other which is a plus

[@samastra1066]

I really like it!

[@burgos227]

Nissan will be fine.

[@NorlanGriffiths]

Just need to catch up with the EV INDUSTRY they were one of the first yet they fell behind , I’m routing for them to take over again with the help of Honda $$$$$

[@andrewvollo263]

I'm in the market now. You guys are amazing. Have some interest in this car but am not thrilled by the lack of a hybrid option. Still the styling is making me think. Can't wait to see/hear your driving impressions.

[@CarConfections]

Thank you! The test drive and pricing video goes live tomorrow at 2p Eastern!

[@ejohnson3131]

The headlights have a retro 1990s Nissan 350ZX look to them but very modern at the same time.

[@baraka3800]

THE 9SPD TRAN ALONE SELLS ME OVER THE RX AND CROWN

[@Pea-G]

I’m excited for the 9spd too but I’m not sure it’s sending me over a Toyota

[@BackToTheGame.98]

Yeah, but its a 2 liter turbo 4 cylinder... replacing the old 3.5 liter V6.

[@BackToTheGame.98]

Its a good looking car. I love my old 2016 Murano, though. That V6 is just too good. Wish Nissan would have gone with a hybrid system or offer fully electric. Also two things I noticed, they added an additional lamp in the trunk, where the previous model only had one! It gets very dark back there, so thats a welcome change! I had to get an aftermarket LED module to replace the OEM incandescent one. The other is they lost the power retracting rear seats!

[@godofdun]

Really feeling the lack of good/updated powertrain options vs the competition. Good to get out of the terrible cvt era though, also very nice interior.

[@joannemcculla1465]

Love my 2023 Murano Midnight

[@joerichardwad1645]

This will have a lot of mainstream appeal and they need a miracle. With Nissan employing so many Americans, hopefully they can make a comeback with these new designs.

[@yordan826]

Love this new Murano will probably trade in my 2022 Acura RDX next year for one of these. Love the Acura but that thing is thirsty!!!

[@michaelvella8511]

One really nice SUV with good dimentions......hopefully a hybrid version will be offered soon.

[@BackToTheGame.98]

Considering NIssan offers no hybrid cars at all... Im doubtful. But supposedly they seem to have plans to use Mitsubishi's hybrid system at some point in some of their cars in the future.

[@bradcast2967]

NISSAN ISNT GOING ANYWHERE 💪🏽💪🏽

[@BroVCam]

They gotta do a NISMO though! Dropping the hp not a fan-fav! A NISMO variant with somewhere in the area of 300 hp could rectify that power reduction. That 9 sp auto is a plus! Thanks for the review.

[@jeanclaude8120]

Make it a hybrid, and I'll buy it.

[@faheemabbas3965]

Nissan is bringing e-power (hybrids) to America in 2026. They confirmed it.

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

Nissan makes some solid cars! They’ve got a great lineup, from the sporty Z to the practical Rogue.

[@genxtechguy]

Since when?

[@RysterARCEE]

If they made great cars they wouldn't be 12-14 months away from total collapse

[@vikas_sawant7134]

definately one of the best brand. Only online review channel reviews keep on demonising them. probably they are paid Pr.

[@genxtechguy]

@@vikas_sawant7134 The company is on the brink of collapse, but sure, you sound like you know what you’re talking about.

[@allroadsawesome]

They have a possibility of going out of business in 12-14 months. So that says something

[@kiwigprentice]

I live in New Zealand. I have had a 2004 Murano but the engine died on me. Now I have a 2008 Murano. It's a bit knocked about but I like it and the new Murano looks like a very nice vehicle. We will probably have to wait until next year to get it over here. I'd be down for that.

[@BRivera-c4g]

The biggest mistake was axing the V-6.

[@vikas_sawant7134]

turbos are the future The v6 are heavy and fuel sippers. I would love to see powerfull hybrid though.

[@BRivera-c4g]

@ the VQ gets the same mileage as most turbo-fours. It’s not much heavier because a turbocharged engine has much more components(turbo, plumbing, intercooler,etc) than a simpler NA engine. And not to mention long-term reliability.

[@JT-fq2bl]

If the Murano had a regular turbocharged engine, I wouldn't have any concern. However, this vehicle have Nissan's new VRC-T engine the give me much pause. Lease it, then return to sender.

[@yordan826]

Agree on the Hybrid option, Nissan should definitely add a hybrid Murano to the line up. For the V6 fuel consumption man I have an Acura RDX with a turbocharger 4 banger and that thing is thirsty!!, it zips the same amount as my dad’s GMC Sierra which has a V6. I don’t know what Honda did there but is no good.

[@KDTWIN20]

I want Nissan to put the new twin turbo V6 in the Murano. That’s the essence of them. You can’t have a Murano without a V6.

[@ssjMaximum22Goku]

@@KDTWIN20 I agree, they should have offered the V6 as an option on the higher trims.

[@dawnkbreaux6712]

This is the only thing I’m concerned about (no V6) otherwise I love it.

[@MarcoGallo-ud8qd]

Great video guys I’ll take a base trim level of this one please even the outgoing one be trim all either but I like this improved overall keep up the great work guys looking forward to the first drive and when this goes on sale.

[@1OCDDAD]

Great design and I’ll pick this Nissan over any Hyundai and KIA that made a killing with their broken drivetrains on Nissan’s errors

[@darriontunstall3708]

It’s very nice and different

[@ssjMaximum22Goku]

Pretty beautiful vehicle. Basically a win in every category except that engine. The V6 should have at least been an option. That engine is significantly more reliable.

[@28mitchell1]

The two tone option is nice. I was hoping the rear seat would recline. Also, the 2015 model had electric return button for rear seat to raise, fog lights and dual exhaust.

[@JsnLwrnce]

It’s basically an Ariya but not electric, no?

[@HALWG51]

Kind of.

[@CarConfections]

They have some design similarities but there is no shared structure

[@noelsilva8887]

Well for people knowledge more toque is a plus then power because that what really moves the vehicle from a stop light and passing and around town. And a really transmission is better.

[@tastyorange]

Nice to see normal easy to use door handles, headlamps and tail lamps up high, not in the bumper to get busted. Hyundai and KIA should take note.

[@Quinton0520]

I think the only thing I would change is a framless rearview mirror or digital rear view mirror camera. And perhaps a mild hybrid, hybrid or phev.

[@lilpeppa117G]

They always hanging out of something 😂

[@N2LADIES55]

Very nice looking just like the previous model.

[@daviddevries2078]

I still like my 2020 in black with 50 series tires on black mags and paint,,

[@itsmewandamarie2448]

I have owned 3 Muranos and was almost ready to pull the trigger on the 2025. I'm not excited about the front but was willing to ignore that. But it's disappointing that the rear seat does not recline. I suffer from migraines so there are times when my husband will drive and I will recline in the back to avoid the oncoming lights. That's a deal breaker.

[@CarsandTechInfo]

14:28 I wish they kept the option to recline the second row seats since the third generation model had that

[@TimJoseph08031990]

The rear tail lights almost have that Infiniti QX80 look!

[@rupertoduarte9833]

Finally, a real transmission on it But a really nice suv

[@joshuawang5859]

9 speed auto is great, but the full touch control is a deal braker

[@magnoliap5824]

Definitely seems some cargo space was sacrificed on that back end. Looking forward to seeing the test drive.

[@Greystoke1986]

A little redesign on the front is warranted. It looks as if it belongs to a different car. The rest of the exterior looks so much better than the outgoing model. My sister just got one several months ago and I had stopped liking that design about 2 years in 😂. Sorry big sister!

[@michaelzabik2627]

Drew said it had basic black interior but was it blue two tone in the first model? I know the crown signia replaced the venza but this is seems like a copy cat from the venza but better! Love Toyota but would take this over those two said models. Nissan on the come up again!

[@CarConfections]

I was blinded by the light 😂

[@michaelzabik2627]

[@AI12321]

They should partner with a manufacturer for get the hybrid tech, otherwise pushing these out of dealer lots will be harder, however beautiful they are.

[@RSH592]

I like it!!!!

[@susansammy5448]

I had a 1st gen Murano with the shark teeth grille.... nice interior, thankfully got ride of the CVT.. front end looks like a copy of the Tuscon lights, rear a copy of RX lights, side profile a copy of the Venza.. i get the move to Turbo 4, but less HP than V6? Same fuel econ? Then keep the V6! Same HP as my 1st gen (240 HP).. not impressed..

[@noelsilva8887]

I’m sorry to me that looks like blue and black top seats? 😅😂 but if that how it looks in the sun light then like that seats sweet

[@CarConfections]

It was, I was just blinded by the sun and couldn't see apparently 😂

[@garynapoli3042]

Is the rear cargo room down a little? I had a 19 platinum and it actually had power you could seats and you could put them up from the front there were power up and down I believe or no you put them down and then the power plugs back up, but you could also control it from the front.

Wondering if the deal between Honda and Nissan will be completed. 😬

[@carscrazy9870]

Define antenna reminds me of the new Infiniti QX 80

[@carscrazy9870]

Sorry about that. It kind of reminds me of the Infiniti QX 80s front end.

[@josephpayton2055]

I like the outside of this. It’s controversial at the front, more inspired by a Tuscon but it looks more Infiniti like from the side to the back. Out a if into badge over it, I would believe it. On top of that it’s as nice as an Infiniti. So what does this mean for Infiniti if Nissan is growing in premiumness? It makes Infiniti seem irrelevant as both brands are struggling at the moment with low sales and Infiniti is losing money because they don’t seem as competitive compared to other luxury competition.

[@samdovels1234]

For me, the beautiful cabin is being ruined with these 3 things: 1. The unintuitive push-button gear selector, 2. The flat-bottom steering wheel, which I have never liked and see no purpose for, and I also don't like the 2-spoke wheel, and 3. The touch controls. I don’t understand why so many car manufacturers compromise their elegant interiors with impractical touch controls that are unintuitive and unsafe while driving.

[@Peizxcv]

[@planartube2364]

[@mylesdias8453]

The rear seats don't recline...in a PLATINUM model? That might be a deal breaker for me and I've owned two Muranos. Not only should they recline (like the power folding ones on the previous generations) they should be ventilated too! Disappointed

[@tastyorange]

They don't??? Ughhh! I see so many new cars doing away with reclining rear seat! If they are already nicely canted, then it's ok... but most of the time, they are too upright.
