If you are in the mood to reward yourself, then the 2024 Nissan Murano is for you. After 20 years on the market, the Nissan Murano continues to impress drivers with its upscale appointments and sleek styling. Despite ample competition in its segment, the Murano holds its own, offering a truly luxurious experience to anyone who climbs behind the wheel.
As the final installment of its third-generation, the 2024 model is prepared to go out with a bang. Available in three trims and a special edition, the Murano offers an assortment of options for everyone. Fans of the Murano get to choose between the base SV, the special Midnight Edition, the SL and the Platinum. Each trim offers luxury, with the Platinum pulling out all of the stops.
Appropriately Refined Appointments
A suite of high-end finishes makes every Murano trim worth considering. The base trim is offered with leatherette seating in two stunning color options. Choose from the dark and sultry Graphite leatherette material or feel light and airy with Cashmere leatherette. Layered tones and varying textures and materials offer a complex cabin that is sure to please. The Midnight Edition is of course only available with Graphite leatherette seating, encompassing the dark theme of the trim.
The SL trim offers the same color options—Graphite and Cashmere—but swaps out the leatherette material for leather-appointments. With just enough leather to feel luxurious, the SL trim is a great option for anyone who wants a great mix of materials and a high-end feel. While leatherette is a fantastic man-made alternative, leather-appointments are naturally derived.
Going Platinum provides even more options, including an additional interior color. Cashmere and Graphite are still available with a dark and robust Mocha tone added as an option. These warm colors are offered as semi-aniline leather with gorgeous diamond stitched inserts. The unique stitching truly elevates the interior, making the overall design more dynamic. Matte wood trim is also added to the Platinum trim, finishing off the overall look with sophisticated detail.
Complete Comfort
Comfort easily translates to luxury, offering a touch of sophistication to your drive home, no matter how stressful your day has been. The Murano embraces the best things, elevating comfort for drivers and passengers. All trim levels offer a 10-way power driver’s seat, allowing drivers to customize their experience and optimize comfort. A two-way power lumbar support setting is also included, providing extra support and relief during long or even short drives. Even front passengers get to experience customized comfort with a four-way power adjustable seat.
The addition of heated front seats truly round out the experience, providing a gentle warmth for both driver and front passenger. Heated seats are an exceptionally nice add-on during cold winters or early mornings. In Platinum style, the seats don’t only offer heating but also cooling, making it a better option for year-round comfort.
SL and Platinum trims provide premium comfort with heated outboard seats for second-row occupants and all trim levels offer reclining seatbacks for the back row. Whether you are maxing out capacity with five occupants or riding solo, the Murano is a comfortable ride for everyone. All trim options offer a leather-wrapped steering wheel, with the Platinum providing a smooth finish for an extra high-class touch. SL and Platinum trim steering wheels are also heated, another reason to enjoy the Murano.
Integrated Infotainment
Luxury isn’t complete without entertainment, which is where the Murano’s infotainment features come into play. An expansive eight-inch color touchscreen display makes the front where it is at. Access to the standards, like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come on all trim levels, making for easy smartphone integration. Here is where the many hands-free services are also used, like Siri Eyes-Free, Hands-Free Text Messaging Assistant and the Bluetooth Hands-Free System.
High-end trims include extras like Nissan Door to Door Navigation with Premium Traffic, providing built-in and easy to operate navigation for road trips, errands and everything in between. SL and Platinum trims also incorporate a premium Bose sound system to fill everyday with life’s soundtrack. The Bose system is made up of 11 speakers, including dual subwoofers to fill the cabin with rich sound from connected devices or streaming music.
Sirius XM compatibility and a several month trial subscription allows you to put the Bose sound system to good use. Whether you are riding shotgun or chilling in the back, every song, podcast or news event will make you feel like you are front row center. If you are riding in the SV, have no fear, because even the SV enjoys smooth sound courtesy of a six speaker audio system that will still have you bopping along to each beat.
Extras Worth Their Weight
From comfort to infotainment, the Murano knows how to help you treat yourself, but it doesn’t end there. There are sweet extras, like the large Dual panel Panoramic Moonroof. SL and Platinum trims enjoy the open air feeling of the standard moonroof. Letting in ample sunlight and creating an open space for conversation and relaxation, the Murano’s moonroof is the extra you want in your luxury vehicle.
Remote Engine Start System with Intelligent Climate Control is another one of those extras that can make all of the difference in the world. Standard on all trim levels, the remote start feature allows you to precool or preheat your vehicle without ever setting foot inside it. Areas that experience extreme cold and extreme heat will enjoy such a feature, doubling as a convenience feature as much as it is a luxury feature. Heated outside mirrors are another convenient luxury that come standard on all trim options, including power function that make it easy to adjust to your preference.
Higher-end trims include a memory recall for the driver, allowing both seat position and mirror position to be adjusted at once. Ambient lighting inside the cab helps set the mood on select trims, creating a calming space or an exciting energy. Even the Steering Wheel Position Memory function helps elevate the Murano, available on the Platinum trim and helping distinguish the Murano as a vehicle of comfort, convenience and refinement.
The Murano Means the Finer Things in Life
The 2024 Murano may be at the end of its generation but its upscale finishes and well-rounded features make the Murano a vehicle that stands out in a crowded segment. Comfort comes in many forms and in the Murano it comes as posh finishes, desirable conveniences and high-end entertainment systems that provide a complete relaxation experience. Thanks to its spacious five seating capabilities and its expansive features list, the Murano works for everyone.
The 2024 Nissan Murano is proof that you don’t have to look very far for a quality vehicle that will treat you to the finer things in life. Whether you choose to test the waters in the SV, try out your dark side in the exclusive Midnight Edition, dabble in the pool of riches in the SL or go all out with the Platinum Edition, you are sure to find a Murano that fits your needs and satisfies your taste for the finer things. When it comes to the Nissan Murano, all you have to do is treat yourself.
