We’re Driving The 2023 Nissan Murano: What Do You Want To Know About It?

2023 has already brought us a host of interesting car news. The seventh-generation Mustang is now available as a Dark Horse, saying “Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170” takes longer than it does for the car itself to go from 0-60 mph, and the BMW XM Label Red is more powerful than any road car the brand has ever built. What’s not so new is the 2023 Nissan Murano. We’re driving it for a week to find out if it can still keep up with the segment. What do you want to know about it?

Our Murano is a very pedestrian SV model but that only means that it’s not as fancy as the SL and Platinum trims. All four available trim levels come with the same exact 3.5-liter V6 engine that develops 260 hp (193 kW) and 240 lb-ft (325 Nm) of torque. It then sends that power to the front or all four wheels (depending on options) through a continuously variable transmission.

It tips the scales at about 3,900 pounds (1,769 Kg) and the EPA estimates that it’ll get 20 mpg in the city and up to 28 mpg on the highway regardless of driven wheels. Standard safety features include forward collision mitigation, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-departure warning. Every model features an 8-inch infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

With those statistics out of the way let’s talk about what the Murano is up against. Manufacturer-suggested retail prices across the four trim levels span from $35,195 to $46,745. In that same general price bracket, you’ll find the GMC Acadia, the Honda Pilot, and the Ford Bronco. Those three cover multiple corners of the market.

Is the Nissan Murano capable of keeping up with any one of them or other rivals from Hyundai, Mazda, or Jeep? We’re going to take it on a road trip spanning almost 2,000 miles to find out. In the process we want to answer your questions about it so hit us with the hard stuff. Let’s get to the bottom of what the Murano is all about.
