The 2026 Nissan Murano lineup offers three trims—SV, SL, and Platinum—each designed for different lifestyles:
When shoppers stop by Boucher Nissan of Waukesha, one of the most common questions is simple: “Which Murano trim is right for my lifestyle?” It makes sense—after all, the 2026 Nissan Murano lineup gives drivers three well‑rounded options, each with its own personality, comfort level, and tech offerings. Whether someone’s looking for something practical, something premium, or something that feels downright luxurious, there’s a Murano that fits the bill.
The Murano has always been known for its smooth ride, upscale cabin, and confident performance. But the 2026 model takes things a step further with thoughtful updates, refined styling, and features that make everyday driving feel a little more special. And with trims like the Murano SV, Murano SL, and Nissan Murano Platinum, choosing the right one becomes less about “good, better, best” and more about “what fits your life right now?”
Let’s break down what each trim offers and who it’s best for.
The Murano SV is often the starting point for many shoppers, but it never feels like a “base” trim. It’s designed for drivers who want a well‑equipped SUV without going overboard on extras. Think of it as the sweet spot between affordability and comfort.
Inside, the SV offers premium cloth seating, a large touchscreen with smartphone integration, and advanced driver‑assist features that make commuting or weekend trips feel easier. The ride quality is smooth—something the Murano has always been known for—and the cabin stays quiet even at highway speeds.
Families who want a dependable daily driver. Commuters who appreciate comfort without unnecessary frills. Anyone who wants a stylish SUV that doesn’t feel stripped down. And for those who love a little extra flair, the Murano Midnight Edition—based on the SV—adds blacked‑out accents, unique wheels, and a bold, modern look that stands out without trying too hard.
Move up to the Murano SL, and the experience shifts into a more premium space. This trim is ideal for drivers who want a little more refinement in their daily routine. Leather-appointed seating, upgraded audio, and additional tech features make the SL feel like a step above.
The SL also adds additional driver‑assist features, making long drives or heavy-traffic conditions feel less stressful. It’s the kind of trim that appeals to someone who wants comfort and convenience to work together seamlessly.
Drivers who enjoy a premium feel without going all the way to top‑tier luxury. Empty nesters seeking a comfortable option for road trips. Busy families who appreciate features that make life easier—like the hands‑free liftgate when juggling groceries or sports gear.
At the top of the lineup sits the Nissan Murano Platinum, a trim that leans fully into luxury. This is where the Murano shows off everything it can be—elegant, comfortable, and surprisingly upscale.
The Platinum trim includes ventilated seating, advanced tech upgrades, larger wheels, and a cabin that feels more like a high‑end lounge than a midsize SUV. It’s the kind of vehicle that makes even short drives feel special.
Drivers who want the best of everything. Those who appreciate craftsmanship, comfort, and a little extra sophistication. Anyone who wants an SUV that feels luxurious without stepping into a completely different price bracket.
One reason the 2026 Nissan Murano remains a popular choice is its versatility. It’s stylish without being flashy, comfortable without being overly soft, and capable without trying to be something it’s not. Whether someone chooses the SV, SL, or Platinum, they’re getting a vehicle built around comfort, reliability, and everyday usability.
The Murano’s V6 engine delivers smooth, confident power. The interior materials feel thoughtfully chosen. The overall driving experience is relaxed, refined, and enjoyable—something many SUVs in this segment struggle to balance.
It really comes down to how you drive, what you value, and how much luxury you want built into your daily routine. No matter the choice, each Murano trim offers a blend of comfort and capability that makes it a standout in the midsize SUV world.
