2020 Nissan Murano | Price, Features and Performance
Posted on January 29, 2020
A plush, roomy cabin, exceptionally comfortable seats, and lots of cutting-edge technology and safety features make the 2020 Nissan Murano one of the top-selling midsize SUVs on the market today. The new Murano comes in four trims with the base S model starting at an MSRP of $32,898, SV trims begin at $39,798, SL models start at $43,698, and the fully-loaded Platinum editions top out at $46,398.
A Quiet, Comfortable, and Well-Appointed Cabin
Standard or available features like dual-zone automatic temperature control, heated front and rear seats, and a heated steering-wheel provide exceptional comfort on those extra cold Canadian mornings. The Murano's standard Nissan Connect infotainment system features SiriusXM satellite radio, a 203 mm multi-touch control colour monitor with Voice Recognition for audio, and a six-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system. SL and Platinum models get upgraded to an 11-speaker (including dual subwoofers) Bose premium sound system. Both infotainment systems also offer MP3/WMA CD playback capability, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling and music streaming, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Front and rear passenger USB connection ports, an auxiliary audio input jack, and illuminated steering-wheel-mounted audio controls also come standard on all Murano trims.
Technology Comes Standard
The Murano's Advanced Drive-Assist Display - a 178 mm colour LCD screen integrated into the center of the instrument cluster - shows a variety of information, including trip computer data, text messages, call data, navigation settings, maps, and service warnings. Nissan Intelligent Key with Push Button Ignition, Fine Vision electroluminescent gauges, and a rear-view monitor round out a few of the Murano's standard technology highlights. SL and Platinum models add factory-installed navigation, HomeLink universal garage-door opener, and a remote engine start system with Intelligent Climate Control.
Fun to Drive
Nissan offers the 2020 Murano with a 260-horsepower 3.5-litre DOHC 24-valve V6 engine linked to a Nissan Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with Sport Mode. The Murano's V6 engine features an electronic drive-by-wire throttle, double-tipped iridium spark plugs, and continuously variable valve timing on its intake and exhaust valves. Front-wheel drive comes standard on S trims, while all other models come with Nissan Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. Independent strut front suspension, along with front and rear stabilizer bars, multi-link independent rear suspension, and vehicle-speed-sensitive electric power steering delivers exceptional driving pleasure. Other standard performance features include Hill Start Assist and vented 4-wheel anti-lock brakes with Electronic Brake Force Distribution.
Safety Comes Standard
Traditional passive safety features combined with Nissan's Safety Shield suite of driver-assist technologies make the 2020 Murano one of the safest vehicles on the road today. Passive safety features include Zone Body Construction with front and rear crumple zones, Nissan's Advanced Airbag System, and a reinforced passenger compartment. Driver-assist technologies like Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Intelligent Emergency Braking with pedestrian detection and Intelligent Driver Alertness are just a few of the many technologies that fall under the Nissan Safety Shield umbrella.
