What’s New
Following its big revamp in 2019, the 2020 Nissan Murano continues to build upon its generous offering of features. This model year brought additional standard safety features and premium interior amenities to lower-trim models. For instance, the SV and SL trim levels now come standard with Nissan Safety Shield 360.
Exterior
The Murano’s bold styling isn’t the only thing that makes it stand out on the road — it also comes standard with LED headlights and signature daytime running lights. There are also plenty of ways to add a little more fun and convenience to this upscale crossover. Let some light into the cabin with the available dual-panel panoramic moonroof, or easily load the cargo bay with the handy motion-activated liftgate. You can also enjoy a safer, more convenient commute with the available fog-fighting heated outside mirrors.

The Murano’s sleek, upscale cabin boasts room for five passengers, as well as 32.1 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second-row seats. And thanks to the Murano’s versatile folding rear seats, you can enjoy up to 67 cubic feet of storage space, complete with the convenience of eight cargo area tie-down hooks and rings.
In addition to plenty of room for people and cargo alike, the Murano keeps all of your passengers comfortable with dual-zone automatic temperature control and convenient backseat air conditioning vents. If you’re looking for more comfort features, consider upgrading to enjoy climate-controlled front seats, a heated steering wheel, leather seating, and heated rear outboard seats.
The Murano doesn’t skimp on connectivity tech, either. It comes standard with an 8-inch touch-screen display, equipped with the NissanConnect infotainment system. Plus, it comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You can upgrade further to enjoy the convenience of Nissan Door to Door Navigation with Premium Traffic, which helps you avoid congested areas.
