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.
Turbocharged Powertrain and Chassis 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.
Nine-Speed Automatic Transmission and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive
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.
The 2026 Nissan Murano® carries EPA-estimated fuel-economy ratings of 21 mpg in the city, 27 mpg on the highway, and 23 mpg combined. Its fuel tank holds 18.7 gallons. The vehicle also has a rated towing capacity of 1,500 pounds, although payload, tow weight, road grades, and weather conditions, including high temperatures, can affect towing capability. Total curb weight ranges from 4,290 pounds for the SV to 4,355 pounds for the SL and 4,386 pounds for the Platinum. Each trim has a 59/41 front-to-rear weight distribution and a gross vehicle weight rating of 5,600 pounds.
Suspension, Steering, and Braking Components
An independent strut front suspension uses coil springs, twin-tube struts, and a solid 29.0-millimeter stabilizer bar. At the rear, an independent multi-link suspension incorporates twin-tube shock absorbers and a tubular 28.6-millimeter stabilizer bar. Electric power-assisted steering has a 16.0:1 overall ratio and requires 2.8 turns from lock to lock. The 2026 Nissan Murano® has a 38.1-foot turning diameter. These specifications define the primary hardware responsible for wheel control, steering operation, and body-motion management.
Ventilated disc brakes appear at all four wheels. The front rotors measure 13.78 inches in diameter and 1.18 inches thick, while the rear rotors measure 12.99 inches in diameter and 0.63 inches thick. Standard braking technologies include an Anti-lock Braking System, Electronic Brake Force Distribution, and Brake Assist. An electric parking brake with automatic hold manages parking brake operation and can keep the vehicle stationary after it stops. Vehicle Dynamic Control, the Traction Control System, and Hill Start Assist provide additional support during acceleration, cornering, and starts on an incline.
