2025 NISSAN MURANO

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Nissan Murano presents a bold redesign with a refreshed exterior and interior, but its driving dynamics and control interface fall short of expectations. Reviewers found the new 2.0L turbocharged engine and 8-speed automatic transmission unrefined, exhibiting lurching and hesitation, particularly when accessing power or on inclines. While the seats are comfortable for steady-state highway driving, the lack of seat cushion tilt and the overall suspension feel leave the vehicle's purpose unclear. The interior controls are a significant point of criticism, described as a "disaster" with confusing button placement, small icons, and a mix of touch and physical inputs that detract from usability and safety. ProPilot Assist also showed issues with lane keeping. Despite these drawbacks, the Murano offers good ingress/egress and a standard suite of safety features, though rear seat and cargo space are surprisingly limited for its class. The vehicle is positioned as a niche option for singles or small families, but its high price point and unrefined execution make it a questionable value compared to competitors.
