What it means
What It Means
The redesigned 2025 Nissan Murano uses a 241-hp 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine, a 9-speed automatic transmission, and dual 12.3-inch displays. Drivetrain, comfort, assistance, camera, and material choices still vary by grade and exact vehicle.
Choose the configuration around passenger access, cargo shape, route, parking, phone connection, tires, condition, and total cost. Treat historical model-year specifications as screening evidence.
Verify the VIN, original build record, installed equipment, current software and services, inspection, warranty status, and itemized terms before deciding.
Know before you use it
- Nissan documents a 241-hp 2.0-liter VC-Turbo four-cylinder engine and 9-speed automatic for the 2025 Murano.
- The 2025 brochure lists a 12.3-inch digital dashboard and a 12.3-inch center touchscreen, while services and connected functions still require exact-vehicle verification.
- The brochure documents 32.9 cubic feet behind the rear seat and 63.5 cubic feet with it folded, but object shape and passenger seating determine usable fit.
- Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is available in the 2025 lineup; confirm drivetrain, grade, tires, condition, and controls on the exact vehicle.

What it covers
Lock the 2025 powertrain, drivetrain, and grade
The official 2025 Nissan Murano brochure documents a 2.0-liter VC-Turbo four-cylinder engine rated at 241 hp and a 9-speed automatic transmission. Those facts establish the US-market model-year baseline. They do not make every drivetrain, grade, wheel, tire, upholstery, camera, assistance feature, connected service, or accessory identical.
The brochure lists front-wheel drive and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive within the 2025 lineup. Confirm the exact drivetrain from the VIN and original build record. Then verify tire size, type, ratings, condition, pressure guidance, spare or mobility equipment, and the controls installed in that crossover.
Keep SV, SL, and Platinum in separate worksheet rows. Reconcile every desired feature to the original window sticker or build information and a parked demonstration. A listing title or exterior photo cannot establish seating materials, massaging functions, cameras, assistance version, audio, lighting, wheel size, or connected services.
The preserved record asset is an advertising tracking pixel, not an editorial vehicle image. This guide therefore uses no hero image. Exact-vehicle photographs and written records should support any claim about model identity, grade, drivetrain, equipment, tires, condition, or accessories.
- Record VIN, grade, drivetrain, stock number, and model year separately.
- Photograph the tire labels, installed controls, cargo load, and open questions.
- Mark every unsupported feature as unresolved.
- Do not infer equipment from a model-family photograph.
What it changes
Test passenger space and cargo with the rear seat in both positions
Nissan documents 32.9 cubic feet of cargo volume with the rear seat raised and 63.5 cubic feet with it folded. Keep each figure attached to its seat position. Neither number reveals whether a stroller, instrument case, mobility device, work bin, or luggage stack clears the opening or leaves the required passenger seats available.
Set the driver seat first, then place regular passengers and restraints. Check entry, buckle access, headroom, knee room, climate reach, device power, storage, sightlines, rear-door opening, liftgate clearance, cargo-floor reach, and the room needed to open doors at home and work.
Load the largest ordinary objects while keeping every required passenger seat usable. Test opening width, lift-over height, floor shape, tie-down access, rear-seat folding, cargo-cover interference, and rear visibility. Photograph the load and record which seats moved so another candidate receives the same test.
Use one legal representative route with a normal start, surface streets, steady-speed travel, rough pavement, a grade if available, a tight turn, and parking. Observe smooth response, transmission behavior, braking progression, steering effort, ride, noise, visibility, climate, and control access. Avoid abrupt maneuvers or timed tests.
- Use the same passengers, cargo, route, climate setting, and questions for each candidate.
- Keep seating position with every cargo-volume reference.
- Ask regular passengers to record access and comfort after the drive.
- Stop if traffic, weather, a warning, or unfamiliar behavior makes the test inappropriate.
Where it stops
Verify both 12.3-inch displays and every connected feature
The 2025 brochure documents a 12.3-inch digital dashboard and a 12.3-inch center touchscreen. Screen size does not prove that every app, navigation function, camera view, phone connection, audio feature, trial, subscription, or assistance system is present, activated, compatible, or supported for the full ownership period.
While parked, pair the regular phone and test calls, audio, maps, wired and wireless connections, ports, charging, cameras, climate controls, keys, and frequently used settings. Record account requirements, privacy choices, software status, trial periods, renewal costs, data needs, and the process when a service changes or ends.
Driver-assistance and camera systems have operating limits. Review owner guidance, indicators, controls, conditions, and warnings, then demonstrate the installed functions in a safe setting. They do not replace attention, checking surroundings, maintaining control, or responding to traffic, weather, road, and system conditions.
Inspect tires, wheels, brakes, fluids, warning lights, body, underbody, interior, accessories, software, keys, and maintenance records. Normalize selling price, taxes, registration, fees, optional products, trade, financing, insurance, immediate maintenance, and amount due at signing. Montrose Nissan can verify the exact configuration and written terms.
- Keep installed hardware separate from trials, subscriptions, and app services.
- Read current owner and protection documents rather than relying on a feature summary.
- Price inspection findings and near-term maintenance outside the monthly payment.
- Repeat affected checks if the VIN, condition, equipment, software, or terms change.

Myth, reality, and configuration checks
Does every 2025 Murano use the same drivetrain?
No. The brochure lists front-wheel drive and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive within the lineup. Confirm the exact drivetrain from the VIN and build record.
Do the cargo figures guarantee a household load will fit?
No. Rear-seat position, object shape, opening dimensions, tie-down needs, passengers, and rear visibility determine practical fit.
