  For the second year in a row, JD Power has named the redesigned Nissan Murano the "Most Dependable Midsize SUV." This recognition stems from the 2026 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS), which evaluates long-term reliability and overall owner satisfaction. The study monitors 184 distinct problem areas across nine core categories. Insights from current owners confirm that the Murano is a trustworthy vehicle designed for a seamless driving experience. Whether you are running local errands or embarking on a cross-country trip, you can drive with total peace of mind.
A Look at the 2026 Nissan Murano Changes
Already a standout in the midsize segment, the 2026 Murano returns with several significant enhancements. Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is now standard across every trim level, allowing the vehicle to adjust to varying road surfaces instantly. Nissan has also added the ProPILOT Assist 2.1 system, which offers advanced hands-off driving technology for more relaxed highway travel.
VC-Turbo Engine and Performance
The 2026 Murano is powered by a sophisticated VC-Turbo engine that modifies its compression ratio in real-time. This allows drivers to experience an ideal balance of robust performance and fuel economy. The engine is tuned to produce a capable 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Furthermore, a nine-speed automatic transmission ensures the Murano feels energetic and responsive on the road.
A Luxurious Interior Experience
A major highlight of the latest Murano is its high-end interior, which provides families with premium daily comfort. The cabin offers luxury options such as massaging seats and an expansive panoramic sunroof. Technology is equally impressive, with standard wireless charging and dual 12.3-inch digital displays. Additionally, an NHTSA five-star overall safety rating makes this SUV a secure choice for your family.
Exterior Styling and Trims
The Murano is now available in three distinct, stylish trim levels. Standard exterior features include signature LED daytime running lights and 20-inch black alloy wheels. For those who want a more customized look, an available black contrasting roof adds an extra layer of modern style to the vehicle’s profile.
