Breaking Down the 2025 Nissan Murano VC-Turbo Engine Specifications

The most significant mechanical update for the 2025 Nissan Murano lies under the hood. Nissan has retired the legacy V6 engine in favor of a highly advanced, turbocharged 2.0-liter VC-Turbo four-cylinder engine. This variable-compression powerplant is engineered to continuously adjust its compression ratio, optimizing both performance and fuel efficiency on the fly.

This innovative engine delivers 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Compared to the previous V6, this represents an increase of 20 lb-ft of torque, which you will immediately feel when accelerating from a complete stop or merging onto the highway. The variable compression technology physically alters the piston reach inside the cylinders, transitioning seamlessly between a high-efficiency ratio for cruising and a high-performance ratio when you demand quick acceleration.

During test drives on the rolling hills around Shackle Island, drivers will appreciate how quickly this engine delivers its torque without the lag common in traditional turbocharged vehicles. If you are also curious about other highly efficient options in our lineup, you can explore our new Nissan Rogue PHEV inventory, look through our new Nissan Altima inventory, or check out our new Nissan Leaf inventory to compare different powertrain technologies.

Understanding the Shift to the Nine-Speed Automatic and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive

In addition to the new engine, Nissan has replaced the previous continuously variable transmission with a highly responsive 9-speed automatic transmission. This shift completely transforms the driving dynamics of the crossover. The nine-speed gearbox provides crisp, physical gear changes that maximize the engine’s power band, delivering a much more engaging and traditional driving experience.

Front-wheel drive comes standard on the entry-level SV trim, while Nissan’s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is available on the SV and comes standard on the SL and Platinum trims. This all-wheel-drive system monitors road conditions constantly, seamlessly distributing power between the front and rear wheels to maintain optimal traction.

If you frequently commute on Interstate 65 from Portland, the combination of the 9-speed automatic and all-wheel drive provides incredible confidence during sudden downpours or winter weather. To see our full selection of vehicles equipped with these advanced drivetrains, you can browse new cars on our lot, check out our rugged new Nissan Frontier inventory, or browse affordable cars to find a highly capable pre-owned crossover.

Real-World Efficiency and Towing Performance

Even with its increased torque and more dynamic transmission, the 2025 Nissan Murano maintains competitive fuel economy ratings. According to EPA estimates, all configurations of the crossover are rated at approximately 21 mpg city / 27 mpg highway. This consistent rating across both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models makes it easy to choose the drivetrain you need without worrying about a fuel economy penalty.

When it comes to utility, this midsize crossover is ready for your weekend adventures. Properly equipped, the vehicle has a maximum towing capacity of up to 1,500 pounds. This capacity is ideal for pulling a light utility trailer, a pair of jet skis, or a small pop-up camper for a weekend getaway.

To find the model that fits your towing and commuting needs, we invite you to browse new Nissan inventory at our dealership. You can also shop new Nissan vehicles online or take a look at our versatile new Nissan Kicks Play inventory to compare sizes and capabilities.

Comparing the SV, SL, and Platinum Trims for Value and Technology

The 2025 Nissan Murano lineup is simplified into three distinct, well-equipped trims: SV, SL, and Platinum. The entry-level SV starts at a base Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price of $41,860, offering an exceptional foundation of standard features. Moving up the lineup, the top-tier Platinum trim carries a sticker price of $50,990 before destination charges, delivering a truly luxurious experience.
