2026 Nissan Murano

The 2026 Nissan Murano arrives at Michael Jordan Nissan as a sculpted, wide-track masterpiece that trades the ordinary for a predatory, Venetian-glass-inspired soul. As your adventure authority on Chapel Hill Boulevard—located in the heart of Durham—we know that navigating the high-speed flow of I-40 or launching a weekend trek to the Outer Banks requires a machine with both surgical precision and unyielding grit. This isn't just a midsize SUV; it’s a high-torque, "future-proof" powerhouse designed to rule the roads from the high-tech corridors of Raleigh and Cary to the bustling residential stretches of Chapel Hill, Apex, and Morrisville with absolute authority and a healthy dose of Southern hospitality.

Interior

Step inside the 2026 Murano and you will discover a digital sanctuary that balances architectural grit with first-class technology. The cabin is anchored by a massive monolith display featuring dual 12.3-inch high-resolution screens and an available Head-Up Display, keeping your essential data in clear view through every North Carolina morning. Because we know those Durham summers demand extra care, available massaging and climate-controlled front seats are ready to keep you in the fight. With 64-color ambient LED lighting and available semi-aniline quilted leather-appointed upholstery, this sanctuary is built to keep your crew connected and refreshed whether you’re commuting from Wake Forest or heading to a night out at DPAC. From the available 10-speaker Bose Premium Audio system to Google built-in integration, every detail is engineered to keep you in total command.

Exterior

The 2026 Murano commands respect from the American Tobacco Campus to the streets of Holly Springs with an athletic, low-slung silhouette and a predatory front fascia. The redesign features ultra-thin LED headlights and a full-width LED tail light that slices through the morning fog with ease. Sitting on wheels ranging from 20-inch gloss black alloys to the Platinum’s aggressive 21-inch machine-finished aluminum-alloys, the Murano projects a planted, confident stance. For those who want a sharper, custom-shop edge, the available Motion Activated Liftgate provides surgical access to your gear with a simple kick of the foot. Every line is functional, contributing to a modern, aerodynamic masterpiece that looks just as fast parked in a driveway in Southwest Durham as it does cruising the beltline.

Performance

Under the hood, the 2026 Murano is powered by a formidable 2.0-liter VC-Turbo® engine, unleashing 241 horsepower and a gut-punching 260 lb-ft of torque. This muscle is funneled through a smooth 9-speed automatic transmission with a button-style shifter, providing the grit needed for merging into heavy I-40 traffic or powering through the winding backroads of Orange County. For the ultimate traction, the available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system continuously monitors grip levels and can quickly redistribute power to help you clear obstacles. This setup delivers a visceral driving experience and surgical steering while maintaining a remarkable EPA-estimated 27 MPG highway rating, ensuring you have the endurance for long treks to Garner or Knightdale without breaking stride.

Safety Features

A true warrior always watches their six, and Nissan’s Safety Shield® 360 acts as your digital fortress on every journey. Every 2026 Murano comes standard with a comprehensive suite of protective technology, including Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, and Rear Automatic Braking. For 2026, the available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 provides high-tech armor for your highway drives, offering hands-off freeway driving capability on compatible roads to take the stress out of the commute to Fuquay-Varina or Clayton. With the innovative "Invisible Hood View" and a 3D Enhanced Intelligent Around View® Monitor, the Murano provides the security you need to push the limits safely on every journey through the Bull City.
