Nissan has begun production on the all-new, redesigned 2025 Murano at its acclaimed Smyrna Vehicle Assembly Plant in Tennessee, marking a major milestone in both the brand’s manufacturing history and the SUV’s development. The updated Murano now comes equipped with the latest innovative features, specifically engineered to address the changing needs of modern drivers.
A New Era in Murano Manufacturing
"This is a proud day for the team," said Brian Crockett, Nissan Smyrna’s vice president of manufacturing. "The hard work and dedication of thousands of Tennessee team members has brought this vehicle to life."
These words reflect the energy and commitment behind this manufacturing feat. The Smyrna plant—long heralded as one of Nissan’s most advanced and sophisticated facilities—began producing the Murano back in 2020, delivering nearly 145,000 units across the U.S. and Canada. With the 2025 model, Nissan is ramping up production significantly, aiming to produce more than 6,700 vehicles monthly by March 2025. Deliveries for the new Murano are expected to begin early next year.
Inside the Newly Redesigned 2025 Murano
The 2025 Nissan Murano is a game-changer in every sense. The fourth-generation Murano ushers in a sharper, more modern design while still embodying the boldness Nissan is known for. Inspired by the futuristic looks of Nissan’s Ariya electric crossover, the new Murano features a pinched rear-quarter window and a sleek, swept-back roofline.
The new Murano has a fresh design and improved performance. Instead of the old V6 engine, it now comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. This new engine offers 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, providing a great mix of power and fuel efficiency.
Other performance highlights include:
- Improved Drive Options: Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available across trims.
- Elevated Ride Height: Increased by 1.4 inches for improved versatility.
- Advanced Tech Features: A new see-through hood camera system boosts visibility and capability.
For those who didn’t take to the previous continuous variable transmission (CVT), the switch to a nine-speed automatic is a welcomed change, delivering a smoother, more refined driving experience.
Attention to Comfort and Technology
The 2025 Murano interior has been meticulously crafted with comfort and innovative tech at its core. Highlights include:
- 12.3-Inch Dual Displays for infotainment and gauge clusters.
- Google Built-In Features found in the SL and Platinum trims, offering Google Maps, Play Store, and Assistant.
- Wireless Connectivity with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
- Luxury Touches: Platinum trims add massaging front seats, quilted semi-aniline leather upholstery, and ambient interior lighting.
Whether you're driving to work or heading out for a weekend trip, the Murano makes every ride better with its Bose 10-speaker sound system, comfortable Zero Gravity seats, and more.
The Murano also offers plenty of space for your gear—33 cubic feet with the rear seats up and 64 cubic feet with them folded down. It’s a great choice for families, busy professionals, and anyone who needs a reliable and roomy vehicle for everyday use.
Pricing, Availability, and Production Goals
While Nissan hasn't officially announced U.S. pricing for the 2025 Murano, estimates suggest a starting price of around $40,000, climbing to $49,000 for premium trims. We anticipate these details to drop before the holiday season now that production is underway.
The Murano features SV, SL, and Platinum trims, with the mid-range SL being a standout option that includes features like a panoramic roof, a 360-degree camera system, memory settings for the driver’s seat, and in-dash navigation with ProPilot advanced driving assistance.
Nissan’s ambitious goal of ramping up production to 6,700 monthly units by March 2025 will ensure that demand for this sleek new crossover is met without delay.
Why the Murano Stands Out
The new Nissan Murano blends eye-catching design, affordable luxury, and smart innovation. With its start in a factory known for high quality and efficiency, the Murano is ready to make a strong impact in the crowded crossover market.
Since its debut as a game-changing SUV in 2003, the Murano has evolved to meet the changing needs of drivers. The 2025 Murano is set to be a standout in its class. Whether you’re attracted to its modern features or sleek new look, it’s clear the Murano is here to impress and change how we think about crossover SUVs.
