2023 Nissan Murano SL

The 2023 Murano is Nissan's mid-size two-row SUV, slotting between the compact Rogue and the three-row Pathfinder. It competes with the Ford Edge, Honda Passport, and Chevrolet Blazer, all of which offer similar two-row family space. The V6 gives the Murano smooth, willing acceleration, and the CVT keeps the power delivery steady rather than abrupt. The ride is on the firm side, but the cabin stays quiet and the seats are among the most comfortable in the class. Inside, the Murano offers a well-finished cabin with available quilted leather, heated and cooled seats, and a dual-pane moonroof. Stepping up to the SL from the SV adds leather-appointed seats, heated rear seats, a motion-activated power liftgate, and the Bose premium audio system. The 3.5L V6 makes 260 horsepower and pairs with a CVT, so acceleration is smooth and linear rather than punchy; the all-wheel-drive system adds confidence in rain or snow.
