2025 Nissan Murano Review: Turbo Power, Ferrari-Inspired Design, and Interior Luxury

In their latest review, TheStraightPipes take on the 2025 Nissan Murano, a vehicle that's undergone a significant transformation. Gone is the V6 engine, replaced by a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder powerhouse delivering 241hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. The team admires the Murano's striking design, drawing parallels to the aesthetics of a new Ferrari, with sleek lines and a captivating two-tone paint option that adds a touch of sophistication.

Inside the Murano, the team is impressed by the ombre dash and intricate blue stitching, showcasing Nissan's attention to detail. However, they do point out some flaws, such as the small icons on the Apple Carplay and the uncomfortable touch buttons on the climate control. The non-removable rear seat headrests also raise eyebrows, highlighting areas where Nissan could refine their design further.

On the road, the Murano proves to be a mixed bag. While the handling and steering receive praise for their responsiveness and agility, the team encounters issues with the acceleration in different modes. They humorously compare the Murano to Buick models like the Rendezvous and Enclave, adding a touch of levity to their assessment. Overall, the Murano presents a blend of style, power, and quirks that make it a unique contender in its segment.
