Perhaps the Nissan Murano just isn’t right for m...

It rides rougher than I believe it ought to.

The tires really feel harsh, the chassis appears to porpoise a bit. Not my favourite SUV expertise. Possibly it wants totally different rubber, perhaps the shocks aren’t proper for the chassis. Possibly we’re simply not for every different.

The newest Nissan Murano–all new for 2025–makes loads of energy, although, as its turbo 2.0-liter produces 241 horsepower together with 260 lb.-ft. of torque.

The massive information in regards to the driveline–and perhaps this a check to see in case you stored studying: No CVT.

The Murano–whether or not front- or all-wheel drive–will get a crisp, snappy, nine-speed automated. And the Sport mode button holds the shifts longer. (There are paddles on the wheel, however they appeared a bit laggy.)

That transmission is managed by pushbuttons. Fast, the place’s park? I’m guessing that, after some time, you’ll generate some muscle reminiscence. 

The seats in our Platinum AWD sampler–out the door at $54,450–have been snug and supportive, the wheel felt good but seems to be a bit odd with solely two spokes. The outside design? Your name.

The Murano begins at $40,000 with a bit facet be aware on the Nissan website: “Your oasis, free from new tariffs.”

And perhaps that’s the worth proposition right here.
