Is the 2025 Nissan Murano the BEST new midsize luxury SUV?

I know people trash talk about CVT, but I personally love it. I still have a 2007 with 167k miles, original CVT. You just have to change the fluid more often. It should be fine.

Joe, you showcased this perfectly, thank you! To Nissan: I stopped buying your cars after the 2003 Maxima as everything went downhill from there. You have revived the company and this new model is truly a breath of fresh air. I'm impressed with many aspects of this new offering and I hope to see it continue down the line!!!

Love your commentary

I agree on the Maxima, had a 2004 SE, nothing but problems, was not expecting that from Nissan and never considered one since then.

Nissan has been perfecting a lot of their cars lately. It really doesn’t have that cheap look anymore. I really loved the Ariya and the new Z.

Only thing im bothered with (and im probably one of very few on this) is that lower corner area on the front would have been amazing for fog lights, especially on higher trims. Beyond that, looks pretty, thank god for no CVT.

[@Noahkinz]

C’mon Nissan! This is looking pretty hot. If they would’ve kept the V6 this would’ve been a 10/10 for me, but I realize times are changing. Still amazed and happy to see Nissan making a comeback, this looks very promising!

Nissan is rolling! Awesome redesign Nissan. Wishing you kept the v6, but at least it’s a 9 speed automatic. According to Nissan a spare is an available option which is 1/2 zonk.

[@mervinprone]

Omg…they finally did it! I can’t believe it’s actually redesigned. I just rented one of these last month and the Murano is a very smooth and quiet SUV with comfortable seats. It’s unfortunate they’ve ditched the 3.5 V6…I think one of the best deals on the market will be the outgoing model…if you’re not too worried about having an old design.

[@bubbaspihaviation]

Wow 10 years since the Murano was last redesigned

[@robgatling8234]

Much better Nissan!! If you did this for the Maxima years ago it would have been great sedan! Raiti Rides killing it again!

[@fenrirslip]

Hands down, this is the most handsome the Murano has ever been. I never had an issue with the design of the Murano throughout its previous 3 generations and I always found it to be a standout amongst the sea of generic 2-row midsize SUVs, but I can understand why people might stray away from it.

[@RaitisRides]

Plus it has a 9-speed automatic

[@T_WILL77]

Yup this will be mine. Getting rid of my 21 Maxima for this!

[@SimonLee9772]

Thank you for the review. Really like the exterior design. Hate the wheels! No fog lights? Like the interior design, but piano black bits have to go! Like the push button shift. Disappointed the rear seats don't recline a little. Pity. MPG is horrible! How about a hybrid powertrain? That's my 2 cents.

[@Matucks]

That black bar in the front kind of reminds me of a 300ZX something about it. This is the first Murano I actually like, it looks really fun, has a bold stance.

[@LilDiabloRob]

No more CVT?!? 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 YES!!!!!!!!! Now it will last.

[@83goobmoonlight]

[@Ikediggy]

I've been waiting on the new Murano. Nissan definitely stepped it up with this one. The front may grow on me, but I need to see it in some other colors. Can't wait to see this is person.

[@jasondickens9003]

Well Nissan did a great job in this re-introduction of the Murano (statically speaking). I love the bulging arches on the rear quarter panels. The tucking in of the rear wiper is icing on the cake ( can’t understand how the likes of Porsche, BMW, Mercedes etc haven’t figured this out while asking the consumer for more money?). Nissan should be given kudos on the execution of the interior design also. Just look how they integrated the phablet instrument cluster and MMI screen into the dash design. Love the dash brow coming over the top of the instrument cluster to ward off sun glare and keeping it tidy. Again they seem to have paid great attention to detail by including the right degree of redundant climate controls and good seating space. In the rear you can already see that seat comfort will be great. LOOK AT HOW SQUARE Joes legs are supported in the architecture of the rear seat layout. That’s how comfort starts by properly supporting the body. Now if the vehicle drives 85% of the way it looks and the attention to detail in design then I suspect Nissan has an instant winner on its hands

[@TheGodofSEO]

I am actually impressed. Nicely done Nissan

[@RaitisRides]

I’m so glad that you like it

[@ArthurBenetton]

For the kids watching now, it's hard to describe just how important the 1st (and 2nd) generation Murano was, along with its luxury Infiniti FX sibling. Back then, these were among the earliest crossovers - and really about THE first to follow the modern format of being totally road-focused - no off-road pretentions, really large wheels on low profile tires, tidy proportions, etc. These came out when Camrys/Accords far outsold Rav4's and Pilots, and SUV hadn't yet fully found themselves as being built as family cars for the street. The Murano changed all that. This new one is clean and cool, but the market is now so much more saturated - and so I do fear this will continue to be forgotten.

[@MrHotcontent]

I have to admit they nailed this update and everything looks great. Heated, ventilated and messaged driver & passenger seats are impressive. If they can keep it at $50K fully loaded, they can move units again.
