2026 Nissan Murano

2026 Nissan Murano in Niles, IL

Star Nissan is proud to present the completely reinvented 2026 Nissan Murano, a midsize SUV that transcends utility to become a work of art. This year marks a dramatic transformation for the Murano, which now flaunts a "Venetian Glass" design inspiration that brings a level of elegance previously unseen in its class. Whether you are commuting from Skokie or heading out for a night in downtown Chicago, the 2026 Murano delivers a driving experience that is as serene as it is powerful. With standard all-wheel drive and a suite of next-generation technology, this SUV is built to conquer Illinois winters while keeping you unparalleled comfort.

Interior

The cabin of the 2026 Murano is nothing short of a sanctuary. The dashboard is dominated by dual 12.3-inch high-definition displays that merge seamlessly to create a panoramic command center. For the first time, the Murano offers Google built-in integration, allowing you to access Google Maps and Google Assistant without needing to pair your phone.

Comfort has been elevated to a science with available massaging front seats to melt away the stress of traffic on Touhy Avenue. Rear passengers aren't forgotten, enjoying generous legroom and the open, airy feel provided by the available panoramic moonroof.

Exterior

Visually, the 2026 Murano is stunningly fluid, featuring a wider body and a confident stance that commands attention. The front end is characterized by a new, frameless V-motion grille flanked by "Crystal Cube" LED headlights that provide brilliant illumination.

The roofline maintains its signature floating appearance but is now more aerodynamic, contributing to a quieter cabin. The Platinum trim rides on striking 21-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels that perfectly complement the vehicle's sophisticated profile. Innovative features like flush door handles that extend automatically when you approach add a touch of futuristic luxury.

Performance

Under the hood, the 2026 Murano swaps its old V6 for a dynamic new 2.0-liter VC-Turbo 4-cylinder engine. This advanced powerplant produces a robust 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, giving you instant response for highway merging. The driving dynamics are further refined by a new 9-speed automatic transmission, which replaces the previous CVT for a more traditional, engaging shift feel.

Standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive ensures that power is distributed precisely where it is needed, providing confident traction on rain-slicked or snowy roads.

Safety Features

Safety is paramount at Star Nissan, and the 2026 Murano is equipped with the brand's most advanced protective technology. The available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 system allows for hands-free driving on compatible single-lane highways, reducing driver fatigue on long road trips.

Another standout feature is the Invisible Hood View, which uses cameras to project a virtual view of the ground beneath the engine bay onto the center screen—perfect for navigating tight parking spots or avoiding curbs. Standard Safety Shield® 360 covers you from every angle with features like Automatic Emergency Braking and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
