The 2026 Nissan Murano brings a refined balance of style, comfort, and intelligent driver assistance that fits how Milwaukee drivers really live and drive. Looking through a local lens, this midsize SUV makes everyday errands along Capitol Drive, highway commutes on I-41, and parking in tighter downtown ramps calmer and more comfortable. With dual 12.3-inch displays, available massaging seats, NissanConnect® services, and a responsive VC-Turbo® engine paired to Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, the Murano is a smart pick for shoppers who want premium touches without overcomplicating the drive. Use this guide as your local research companion—what you’ll find here is how the Murano’s performance, tech, and safety systems translate to confident miles around Milwaukee, plus how our team at Russ Darrow Nissan of Milwaukee supports you from test-drive to long-term service.
The Murano’s 2.0-liter VC-Turbo® engine delivers 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque through a smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission, giving you quiet, confident acceleration on the on-ramps to I-94 and steady cruising on Highway 145. Available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive continuously monitors traction and can respond quickly, while 8.3 inches of ground clearance and thoughtful chassis tuning help manage uneven city streets, construction grooves, and the occasional gravel drive out to Lake Country. Automatic Brake Hold and an electronic parking brake lend everyday convenience, and with up to 1,500 pounds of towing capability, the Murano is ready for small utility trailers or bikes for a weekend up the shore.
Step into Murano and you’ll notice the calm. The glass-inspired dash treatment sets a premium tone, while the dual 12.3-inch displays present navigation, media, and vehicle info in a clean, cinema-like way. Available semi-aniline quilted leather-appointed seats add an upscale softness you tend to find in luxury brands, and when you opt for climate-controlled and massaging front seats, long drives to and from the North Shore feel noticeably easier. Available Google built-in helps you navigate with natural voice commands, and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keep daily tasks connected yet uncluttered. With four USB-C ports to keep devices charged and an available Bose Premium Audio System, Murano blends tech-forward ease with a serene, conversation-friendly cabin.
Every 2026 Murano arrives with standard Safety Shield® 360, giving you six core features that watch in front, to the sides, and behind to help you avoid surprises. For the busy interchanges near the Marquette Interchange, standard ProPILOT Assist helps reduce fatigue by managing lane centering and stop-and-go traffic. Step up to available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 for advanced driver assistance—hands-off, foot-off driving in certain conditions—along with technology that smooths freeway cruising. For tight city maneuvers or ramp parking, the available HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View® Monitor and Invisible Hood View expand your field of vision and help you place the Murano with confidence.

Many midsize SUVs offer strong basics, but the Murano leans into everyday luxury and confidence technology in ways that resonate for Milwaukee shoppers. The available massaging seats and semi-aniline leather-appointed upholstery are touches you expect in premium nameplates, not the midsize mainstream. The available Invisible Hood View and HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View® Monitor create a clearer sense of your surroundings—particularly helpful in tighter spots around the Historic Third Ward or structured parking near Fiserv Forum. While some competitors limit advanced assistance to top trims, Murano builds valuable driver aids into every model, then offers available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 for smooth freeway cruising when you spend time on I-43 or I-94. Add a track record that includes an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ and J.D. Power recognition for dependability in the previous model year, and it’s easy to see why the Murano stands out. Where rivals can feel busy or noisy, Murano maintains a quiet, tailored cabin that makes daily driving calmer for Milwaukee families and professionals alike.
