2027 Nissan Murano Release Date & Price Guide – The 2027 Nissan Murano arrives as a refined update to the redesigned midsize two-row crossover that launched for the 2025 model year. Nissan has streamlined the lineup, introduced a distinctive Dark Armor grade, and adjusted pricing while keeping the core powertrain and premium-focused character intact. Aimed at U.S. buyers seeking style, comfort, and standard all-wheel drive, the 2027 model is already on sale.
2027 Nissan Murano Release Date
Nissan announced 2027 Murano pricing and changes on August 19, 2026, stating the model is on sale now. Vehicles began reaching dealerships around that time, with broader availability expected through fall 2026. The fourth-generation Murano (introduced for 2025) carries over with targeted updates rather than a full redesign, so availability should be steady at Nissan dealers across the USA.

2027 Nissan Murano Price
Official Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Prices (MSRP) for the 2027 Nissan Murano start at $43,990 for the SL AWD. All models include standard all-wheel drive. Destination and handling is approximately $1,545–$1,575 (exact figure can vary slightly by source and final confirmation).
Prices exclude taxes, title, license, options, and dealer fees. Actual transaction prices often differ based on incentives, inventory, and negotiation.
2027 Nissan Murano Trims and Pricing Breakdown
Nissan simplified the grade structure for 2027 by dropping the previous base SV trim. The lineup now consists of three AWD models:
| Trim | MSRP | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| SL AWD | $43,990 | New entry-level trim |
| Dark Armor AWD | $46,990 | New mid-level blackout styling grade |
| Platinum AWD | $49,790 | Top luxury-oriented trim |
These figures come directly from Nissan’s official pricing announcement. With destination added, out-the-door starting prices land in the mid-$45,000 range for the SL.
The SL receives a lower sticker than the prior-year SL but loses some content (such as the panoramic moonroof and Bose audio in some configurations) to help offset the elimination of the cheaper SV. The net result is a higher overall starting price for the Murano lineup compared with 2026.
What’s New for the 2027 Nissan Murano?
Key changes for 2027 include:
- Elimination of the SV base trim.
- Addition of the Dark Armor grade with gloss-black exterior accents, 21-inch gloss-black wheels, sportier bumpers and side moldings, black Nissan badges, and Dark Armor badging. It is offered exclusively with Graphite interior and a select range of exterior colors (including two-tone options).
- Addition of Snow Mode to the drive-mode selector on all grades.
- Streamlined three-trim structure focused on SL, Dark Armor, and Platinum.
The overall design, platform, and powertrain remain consistent with the 2025–2026 models.
Specs and Performance
Every 2027 Murano uses the same powertrain:
- 2.0-liter VC-Turbo (variable compression) turbocharged inline-4
- 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque
- 9-speed automatic transmission
- Standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive
- EPA-estimated fuel economy: 21 city / 27 highway / 23 combined mpg
Towing capacity remains modest at around 1,500 pounds. The engine prioritizes refinement and everyday responsiveness over high-performance or heavy-duty capability. A new Snow Mode helps optimize traction in winter conditions.
Features, Technology, and Interior
The Murano continues to emphasize comfort and modern tech. Standard and available highlights across the lineup include dual 12.3-inch displays (instrument cluster and infotainment), wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Zero Gravity seats, Safety Shield 360 suite of driver-assistance features, and ProPILOT Assist.
Higher trims and packages add a panoramic moonroof, Bose premium audio, multi-color ambient lighting, quilted or semi-aniline leather seating, heated/ventilated/massaging front seats, head-up display, and advanced ProPILOT Assist versions. Dark Armor brings distinctive exterior styling plus select comfort and tech upgrades relative to the SL.
Cargo space is competitive for a two-row midsize crossover (roughly 33 cubic feet behind the rear seats and over 60 cubic feet with seats folded).
How the 2027 Murano Compares for U.S. Buyers?
The Murano competes with vehicles such as the Honda Passport, Toyota Crown Signia, Mazda CX-70/CX-90 (two-row configurations), Subaru Outback/Ascent variants, and Hyundai Santa Fe. It stands out with its distinctive styling, comfortable seating, and standard AWD, though some rivals offer stronger fuel economy, higher towing capacity, or more powertrain choices (including hybrids).
Pricing places the 2027 Murano firmly in the premium midsize crossover segment. Buyers prioritizing style, ride comfort, and available luxury features will find the most appeal, especially in Dark Armor or Platinum form. Those focused on maximum value or versatility may want to cross-shop alternatives.
