2025 Nissan Murano Trim Guide: What You Need To Know

The fourth-generation 2025 Nissan Murano introduces a completely overhauled look and feature set for the midsize crossover. First introduced in 2003, Nissan’s flagship two-row SUV now boasts an even stronger luxury appeal compared to its previous generation, featuring a brand-new powertrain and an updated three-trim lineup. Before you start shopping for a Nissan Murano for sale, this trim guide explains which features come with each trim so you can confidently choose the right one.  Whether you’re looking for affordability, everyday comfort, or premium luxury for your commute, the 2025 Murano offers a standout solution in every grade.

Performance, Specs, and Fuel Economy

The 2025 Murano enters the market with a bang, being powered by Nissan’s newly-patented VC-Turbo engine. The updated VC-Turbo smartly balances power and efficiency, giving the Murano confident acceleration without a penalty at the pump. The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 241 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. It can tow up to 1,500 lbs and achieves an EPA-estimated 21 MPG city and up to 27 MPG highway, which is identical for both its front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) configurations.

With an updated interior and build, the 2025 Murano seats up to five people across two rows and has a max cargo capacity of 32.9 cu.ft. of space behind the second row and up to 63.5 cu.ft. of cargo volume with the second row folded down. The 2025 Murano is available in 13 colors, featuring a mix of standard, premium, and two-tone finishes to suit your personal style.

The Murano SV

The SV trim, the starter model for the Murano, sets a solid baseline for the rest of the lineup. It is the only trim available with front-wheel drive, which helps keep the price more budget-friendly. It’s available in four of the five standard colors, minus Champagne Silver Metallic. You can also get it in the two premium colors, minus Aurora Blue Metallic.

The SV is packed with numerous great features, starting with the 20-inch gloss black aluminum-alloy wheels and gloss black aero covers, which give it a uniquely sporty look. LED headlights come standard, along with the Nissan Intelligent Key with push-button ignition and the front-door request switch. You can easily access the cargo area using the power liftgate with key-fob control, which is helpful when your hands are full.

Nissan Safety Shield 360 driver-assist features come standard, helping you feel more confident in traffic and tight spaces. This includes driver assistance features such as Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR), Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention (I-BSI), Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC), and much more. Inside, the SV includes heated eight-way adjustable front seats and a TailorFit leatherette-wrapped steering wheel for extra comfort. The cabin includes leatherette seating surfaces that feel soft and easy to maintain.

Another significant benefit of the SV is that it features all the connectivity and infotainment systems you could want for your travels. The six-speaker audio system can be utilized through features like SiriusXM Satellite Radio or standard AM/FM channels, making it great for those who truly value the audio listening experience during travel. Alternatively, you can stream your favorite tunes or playlists via Bluetooth wireless streaming, with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

It’s also possible to access new media, vehicle health, or apps through the NissanConnect 12.3-inch HD touchscreen. An accompanying 12.3-inch digital driver display offers customizable telemetry readouts, while a wireless charging pad at the front allows you to keep your smartphone charged without the need for cords. The SV also comes standard with Siri Eyes Free technology, allowing you to access system functions with voice commands, including hands-free text and phone calls.

The Murano SL

The 2025 Murano SL is the middle option for the midsize SUV, offering plenty of what you need, all tucked into an all-wheel drive configuration. It takes everything you get with the SV, but adds plenty of features on top of it, including switching up for some Gun Metallic aero-covered 20-inch gloss black aluminum-alloy wheels. The SL also offers additional color options, including access to all five standard colors and all eight premium colors, as well as two-tone options.

The SL continues to roll out upgrades with the addition of a panoramic moonroof, which brings extra light into the cabin, and includes a heated leather steering wheel as part of the heated front power seat combination. This provides an extra layer of luxury to the Murano for those long commutes. Added conveniences, such as the HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View monitor, also allow you to get a clear, high-definition view of the Murano through the touchscreen. This is particularly useful whether you’re traveling through crowded streets or need advanced viewing angles for parking.

The cabin audio also receives an upgrade over the SV, which includes the Bose Premium Sound System, sporting ten speakers for a surround-sound audio experience. Another infotainment upgrade for the SL comes in the form of Google built-in, with support for Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. This provides you with more hands-free control over your Murano’s functions, including navigation support, app access, updates, vehicle support, and route planning, thanks to features like Google Maps.

The SL also features the NissanConnect Services, which are powered by SiriusXM. This includes real-time weather reports, ad-free music, shows, and podcasts, as well as access to features like TikTok Sounds, Billboard hits, and more, all with on-demand functionality. The SL also supports internet connectivity, thanks to NissanConnect, allowing you to utilize the Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities. Another upgrade is that the SL comes with ProPilot Assist 1.1 with hands-on functionality, for enhanced driver assistance, an upgrade over ProPilot Assist 1.0 for the SV. This enables intelligent cruise control with stop-and-go functionality and automatic curve slowdown. Added features, such as optional approach lights and myQ Connected Garage for remote garage door access, provide additional value to the SL.

The Murano Platinum

The Platinum trim sits at the top of the lineup for drivers shopping for a 2025 Murano who want premium luxury at every turn. It comes with everything on the SL, including all of the color options, but it provides added luxury elements to the package. It upgrades to 21-inch machine-finished aluminum-alloy wheels with Gun Metallic aero covers and power-folding mirrors with integrated turn signals. It also incorporates some of the features from SL and improves upon them, such as the myQ Connected Garage, which comes with added HomeLink Universal Transceiver functionality.

Where the Platinum really shines is with its interior creature comforts. Quilted leather-appointed seating and climate-controlled front seats with massaging function and four-way lumbar support create first-class comfort. This is ideal for individuals who commute daily. Features like rain-detecting wipers also make it easier to travel in various weather conditions. Much like the SL, the Platinum also comes with valuable features, including a vehicle tracker as part of NissanConnect Services, emergency SOS support, and a dual-camera drive recorder. The Platinum delivers the absolute best of what the 2025 Murano has to offer, making it the ideal choice for those seeking premium comfort wrapped in a highly stylish package.
