Nissan has started production of the all-new 2025 Murano at its distinguished Smyrna Vehicle Assembly Plant in Tennessee, bringing years of anticipation to fruition. This achievement signifies a major shift in Nissan's manufacturing strategy and introduces a redesigned Murano that integrates cutting-edge features, catering to the modern consumer's ever-changing needs.
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.
Apart from its evolved aesthetics, the Murano features an array of performance enhancements. Gone is the V6 engine, now replaced with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. This upgrade provides 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, offering a balance between power and 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 commuting or on a weekend adventure, the Murano delivers a premium experience with its Bose 10-speaker sound system, Zero Gravity seating, and more.
With an emphasis on practicality, the Murano offers ample cargo space—33 cu. ft. with the rear seats up and 64 cu. ft. with them folded. Families, professionals, and adventure seekers will find the Murano to be a capable companion for everyday use 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. We anticipate these details to drop before the holiday season now that production is underway.
The 2025 Nissan Murano comes in three trims: SV, SL, and Platinum. The mid-level SL trim is a great choice, offering many features. Including a panoramic sunroof, 360-degree camera system, memory settings for the driver’s seat, and in-dash navigation with ProPilot driving assistance.
Nissan plans to ramp up production to 6,700 units per month by March 2025, ensuring that the demand is met quickly and efficiently.
Why the Murano Stands Out
The new 2025 Nissan Murano combines bold design, affordable luxury, and smart innovation, making it a standout in the competitive crossover SUV market. Built in a factory known for high quality and efficiency, the Murano is ready to make a strong impression.
First introduced in 2003 as a trailblazing SUV, the Murano has evolved over the years to meet the needs of today’s drivers. The 2025 model is a true reflection of Nissan’s commitment to exceeding expectations and adapting to changing consumer demands.
