The 2026 Nissan Murano arrives with a fresh, confident take on midsize SUV luxury and everyday practicality, blending calm-inducing design, advanced assistance features, and intuitive connectivity. For shoppers browsing from home around Newport News, VA, this Murano is an easy model to research and a smart SUV to shortlist—especially if you want standard all-wheel-drive traction, dual 12.3-inch digital displays, and a cabin that genuinely feels a class above. From Jefferson Avenue and City Center at Oyster Point to weekend routes across the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel, Murano’s poised ride, streamlined technology, and thoughtful driver aids are tuned to keep local life moving smoothly. With seating for five, flexible cargo space, and standout features like available Invisible Hood View and an available Bose Premium Audio System, the 2026 Murano is engineered to reduce stress and elevate every mile.
Murano’s 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine generates 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired with a precise 9-speed automatic transmission for smooth, confident performance. Standard all-wheel drive across the lineup provides added assurance when weather changes or when road conditions shift on I-64 or Warwick Boulevard. Increased ground clearance and a composed suspension tune give Murano an easygoing, planted feel over imperfect pavement, while up to 1,500 lbs. of towing capacity lets you bring light gear for weekend escapes. The push-button electronic shifter streamlines the console, and Automatic Brake Hold eases stoplights and bridge traffic by holding the brake until you’re ready to go.
Inside the 2026 Murano, it’s serenity by design. The dash features a glass-inspired treatment that pairs perfectly with the bold clarity of the dual 12.3-inch displays, making daily tasks feel effortless. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keep your key apps at hand, while available Google built-in lets you say the word and go—routing with Google Maps, pulling up apps, or adjusting climate by voice. Families and commuters alike will appreciate the four standard USB-C ports and available Wi-Fi hotspot. For those who prioritize luxury, available semi-aniline quilted leather-appointed seating, available ventilated and massaging front seats, and available ambient lighting elevate the cabin’s spa-like calm. The available Motion Activated Liftgate helps when your hands are full at Patrick Henry Mall, while easy-fold rear seats add cargo flexibility for errands around Oyster Point.
Confidence is the Murano standard. Every 2026 Murano includes Safety Shield® 360, continually watching in front, beside, and behind to help intervene when needed. Standard ProPILOT Assist assists with steering and speed in everyday traffic, while available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 further expands capability with hands-off, foot-off driving in certain situations for smoother freeway cruising. When parking at City Center or navigating tight spaces, the available HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View® Monitor provides a top-down perspective, and available Invisible Hood View shows what’s hidden directly ahead of the bumper—great for curbs, parking blocks, and tricky garage entries. Recent accolades for Murano include recognition for dependability and safety (such as the 2025 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ and J.D. Power dependability leadership for the nameplate), reinforcing the confidence this SUV inspires.

Among midsize SUVs, Murano leans into sophistication without sacrificing daily ease. Many rivals make all-wheel drive an extra-cost option on base trims; Murano makes it standard, enhancing value for Newport News, VA drivers who regularly contend with lane merges on I-64 or coastal rain. While competitors may offer a surround-view camera, Murano goes further with an available HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View® Monitor and available Invisible Hood View—a composite look at what’s hidden directly in front of the SUV. Inside, available massaging front seats and semi-aniline quilted leather-appointed seating are amenities you typically expect from premium brands, not mainstream midsize SUVs. And where others charge extra for their largest displays, Murano’s dual 12.3-inch set-up is standard across the board. Add available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 (hands-off, foot-off in certain situations) plus available Head-Up Display, and you get a uniquely calm driving experience that fits the Peninsula’s blend of city streets and regional highways.
