With great anticipation, Nissan has begun production of the all-new 2025 Nissan Murano at its prestigious Smyrna Vehicle Assembly Plant in Tennessee. This achievement not only signifies a key moment for Nissan’s manufacturing journey but also for the Murano, a mid-size crossover SUV now enhanced with cutting-edge features to meet the evolving preferences of today’s drivers.
A Fresh Era Begins for Murano Production in Smyrna
"Today is a milestone we’re all proud of," said Brian Crockett, Nissan Smyrna’s VP of Manufacturing. "It’s the result of years of hard work and dedication from the amazing team in Tennessee who helped make this vehicle a reality."
These words reflect the energy and commitment behind this manufacturing feat. The Smyrna plant—long heralded as one of Nissan’s most advanced and sophisticated facilities—began producing the Murano back in 2020, delivering nearly 145,000 units across the U.S. and Canada. With the 2025 model, Nissan is ramping up production significantly, aiming to produce more than 6,700 vehicles monthly by March 2025 at its Smyrna, TN plant. Deliveries for the new Murano are expected to begin early next year.
Inside the Newly Redesigned 2025 Murano
The 2025 Nissan Murano is a game-changer in every sense. The fourth-generation Murano ushers in a sharper, more modern design while still embodying the boldness Nissan is known for. Inspired by the futuristic looks of Nissan’s Ariya electric crossover, the new Murano features a pinched rear-quarter window and a sleek, swept-back roofline.
Apart from its evolved aesthetics, the Murano features an array of performance enhancements. Gone is the V6 engine of previous models, now replaced with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. This upgrade provides 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, offering a balance between power and efficiency.
Other performance highlights include:
- Improved Drive Options: Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available across trims.
- Elevated Ride Height: Increased by 1.4 inches for improved versatility.
- Advanced Tech Features: A new see-through hood camera system boosts visibility and capability.
For those who didn’t take to the previous continuous variable transmission (CVT), the switch to a nine-speed automatic is a welcomed change, delivering a smoother, more refined driving experience.
Attention to Comfort and Technology
The 2025 Murano interior has been meticulously crafted with comfort and innovative tech at its core. Highlights include:
- 12.3-Inch Dual Displays for infotainment and gauge clusters.
- Google Built-In Features found in the SL and Platinum trims, offering Google Maps, Play Store, and Assistant.
- Wireless Connectivity with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
- Luxury Touches: Platinum trims add massaging front seats, quilted semi-aniline leather upholstery, and ambient interior lighting.
Whether you're commuting or embarking on a weekend adventure, the Murano delivers a premium experience through its Bose premium 10-speaker sound system, Zero Gravity design seating, and more.
With an emphasis on practicality, the Murano offers ample cargo space—33 cubic feet with the rear seats up and 64 cubic feet with them folded. Families, professionals, and adventure seekers will find the Murano to be a capable companion for everyday use use.
Pricing, Availability, and Production Goals
While Nissan hasn't officially announced U.S. pricing for the 2025 Murano, estimates suggest a starting price of around $40,000, climbing to $49,000 for premium trims. We anticipate these details to drop before the holiday season now that production is underway.
The Murano features SV, SL, and Platinum trims, with the mid-range SL being a standout option that includes features like a panoramic roof, a 360-degree camera system, memory settings for the driver’s seat, and in-dash navigation with ProPilot advanced driving assistance.
Nissan’s ambitious goal of ramping up production to 6,700 monthly units by March 2025 will ensure that demand for this sleek new crossover is met without delay.
Why the Murano Stands Out
The new Nissan Murano represents a fusion of striking design, accessible luxury, and sustainable innovation. The Murano aims to make a bold statement on the highly competitive crossover market by stemming from a factory recognized for awards in quality and production efficiency.
From its origins as a boundary-pushing SUV in 2003 to its transformation today, the Murano is a testament to Nissan’s ability to exceed expectations and meet the needs of an evolving consumer base. The 2025 Murano is set to become a defining vehicle of its category. Whether you're drawn to its cutting-edge features or sharp new design, it’s clear that the Murano is here to impress—and redefine how we think about crossover SUVs.
