2026 Nissan Murano® in Canon City, CO

The 2026 Nissan Murano® is a five-passenger crossover with a standard turbocharged engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. Its unibody structure uses corrosion-resistant and high-strength steel as its primary materials. Independent front and rear suspension systems, electric power-assisted steering, and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes support its chassis configuration. Inside, the 2026 Nissan Murano® combines two-row seating with configurable cargo capacity, dual 12.3-inch displays, standard connectivity features, and trim-specific comfort equipment. Its technical content spans the powertrain, chassis, exterior dimensions, cabin accommodations, multimedia technology, driver-assistance features, and occupant-protection systems.

The 2026 Nissan Murano® uses the KR20DDET engine, a transversely mounted, turbocharged inline-four with an aluminum block and aluminum cylinder head. The engine has a displacement range of 1,970 to 1,997 cubic centimeters and uses a double-overhead-camshaft design. Four valves serve each cylinder, while an electric Variable Timing Control System manages the intake side and a hydraulic Variable Timing Control System manages the exhaust side. Output reaches 241 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 260 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm. The engine operates on regular unleaded fuel and includes an idle stop-start system as standard equipment.

A nine-speed automatic transmission sends engine output through the standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system. The transmission begins with a 4.713 first-gear ratio and moves through progressively taller ratios before reaching a 0.480 ninth gear. Its reverse ratio measures 3.80, while the final-drive ratio is 4.34. A standard drive mode selector gives the driver access to the vehicle’s supported operating modes. Every listed 2026 Nissan Murano® trim uses the same fundamental engine, transmission, and all-wheel-drive configuration.
