2026 Nissan Murano Platinum AWD: Ultimate Luxury for Baltimore-Area Drivers The 2026 Nissan Murano Platinum AWD delivers the most premium, tech-forward, and comfortable driving experience in the Murano lineup, and at Nationwide Nissan in Timonium, we see every day how perfectly it fits Baltimore-area lifestyles. From daily Beltway commutes to weekend escapes across Maryland, the Platinum AWD trim is where luxury, performance, and all-weather confidence come together. Meet the 2026 Murano Platinum AWD The Murano is fully redesigned for 2026, and the Platinum AWD sits at the very top of the lineup as the most luxurious, most feature-rich trim you can buy. Every 2026 Murano now comes standard with Nissan’s new 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine, a 9-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive, so even before you look at features, you’re starting from a powerful and confident foundation. With a starting MSRP of about $49,800, the Murano Platinum AWD is positioned to rival many traditional luxury-brand SUVs, while still delivering the value, reliability, and easy ownership experience Nissan is known for. At Nationwide Nissan, we offer the full 2026 Murano lineup, including the Platinum AWD, right here in Timonium, just a short drive from downtown Baltimore, Towson, Owings Mills, and the surrounding communities. Power, Performance, and All-Weather Confidence VC-Turbo powertrain Under the hood, every 2026 Murano, including the Platinum AWD, features a 2.0-liter VC-Turbo (Variable Compression Turbo) four-cylinder engine that produces 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. This engine continuously adjusts its compression ratio to balance power and efficiency, giving you strong acceleration when you need it and fuel savings when you’re cruising. Matched to a refined 9-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, the Platinum AWD delivers smooth, confident power whether you’re merging onto I-95, climbing the hills around Hunt Valley, or passing slower traffic on rural Maryland highways. With EPA ratings of about 21 MPG city, 27 MPG highway, and 23 MPG combined, it’s impressively efficient for a mid-size SUV that comes this well equipped—and it runs on regular unleaded fuel. Standard intelligent all-wheel drive Every 2026 Murano trim level now comes standard with all-wheel drive, so the Platinum AWD gives you 24/7, all-season confidence out of the box. Nissan’s intelligent AWD system automatically sends power between the front and rear wheels as conditions change, helping you stay in control on wet pavement, light snow, and slippery surfaces. For Baltimore-area drivers, that matters year-round: from heavy summer downpours on the Beltway to early-morning frost and unpredictable winter mixes on I-83 and I-695. Intelligent Trace Control and Active Ride Control further enhance stability, smoothing out rough surfaces and helping the Murano stay composed through sweeping curves and on-ramps. Practical capability The 2026 Murano Platinum AWD offers up to 1,500 pounds of towing capacity—ideal for small utility trailers, bikes, or light recreational gear. With 8.3 inches of ground clearance and an independent front strut and rear multi-link suspension, it handles occasional dirt roads, gravel driveways, and uneven city streets with ease. Inside, you’ll find 32.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and up to 63.5 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, so hauling luggage, sports gear, or bulk shopping runs from Towson Town Center or White Marsh is no problem. Exterior Design: Sophistication With a Commanding Stance Premium Platinum styling From the moment you see it in our Nationwide Nissan showroom, the Murano Platinum AWD stands out. It rides on exclusive 21-inch machine-finished aluminum-alloy wheels with painted accents, giving it a bold, upscale presence that’s impossible to miss in Timonium traffic or downtown Baltimore parking garages. ​ Power-folding exterior mirrors add both style and everyday practicality, automatically tucking in when you park in tight city spots or narrow rowhouse streets. Rain-sensing windshield wipers activate automatically when precipitation hits the glass, so you can stay focused on the road as Maryland’s weather changes minute to minute. Convenience built into the body A proximity-sensing power liftgate is one of those small features you quickly realize you can’t live without. Stand near the rear of the Murano Platinum AWD with the key fob on you, and the liftgate opens hands-free—perfect when you’re juggling grocery bags from the Inner Harbor or loading gear after a lacrosse game. Heated, power mirrors help shed frost and ice on cold mornings, and LED lighting provides bright, clear visibility for night driving around the Baltimore metro area. ​ Interior: Where the Murano Platinum Really Shines Semi-aniline quilted leather and first-class comfort Step inside the Murano Platinum AWD at Nationwide Nissan, and it feels like you just walked into a boutique lounge. The seats are upholstered in semi-aniline quilted leather, delivering a richly textured, upscale look and feel that rivals many traditional luxury-brand SUVs. ​ The front seats aren’t just heated and ventilated—they’re also equipped with massaging functionality, turning every drive into a spa-like experience. Whether you’re decompressing after a long day at the office in Baltimore or settling into a weekend road trip down to the Eastern Shore, those massaging seats make a difference. Heated rear outboard seats keep passengers comfortable too, so everyone rides in premium comfort. Driver-focused comfort and personalization Both the driver and front passenger enjoy power 4-way lumbar support with massage in the Murano Platinum AWD, making it easier to find that just-right seating position for long hauls or daily commuting. The driver’s seat includes memory settings, so if multiple drivers share the vehicle, your ideal position is just a button press away. A heated steering wheel is standard and feels especially good on chilly Maryland mornings, while dual-zone automatic climate control and rear ventilation ducts help keep the entire cabin at a comfortable temperature. Ambient interior lighting subtly accents the dashboard and door panels, contributing to a calm, upscale atmosphere during evening drives. Quiet, spacious cabin The Murano has long been known for its quiet, refined ride, and the 2026 Platinum AWD continues that tradition. High-quality materials and sound insulation help keep road, wind, and engine noise in check, making it easier to enjoy conversations or your favorite playlist through the Bose Premium Audio system. With generous rear legroom and supportive seats, adult passengers in the second row stay comfortable whether you’re driving around Towson or heading out on longer trips across the state. Technology: A High-Tech Command Center Dual 12.3-inch digital displays In the Platinum AWD, the dashboard is dominated by a dual 12.3-inch display setup: a 12.3-inch NissanConnect touchscreen for infotainment and a 12.3-inch multi-function digital instrument cluster. This layout creates a sleek, modern cockpit that puts navigation, media, and key vehicle information right where you need it. Google built-in brings native Google Maps, Google Assistant, and compatible apps from Google Play directly to the Murano’s system, so you can navigate Baltimore city streets, suburb shortcuts, and interstate routes with intuitive, up-to-date mapping. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are also included, giving you multiple ways to integrate your smartphone without fumbling with cables. Connected convenience A wireless phone charger keeps your device powered on the go, while multiple USB ports around the cabin make it easy for everyone to stay charged and connected. NissanConnect with Wi-Fi hotspot capability turns your Murano into a mobile productivity and entertainment hub—a big plus for families and professionals who spend a lot of time on the road between Baltimore, Timonium, and Owings Mills. The Platinum AWD includes an integrated garage door opener and a Head-Up Display that projects critical driving information onto the windshield, helping you keep your eyes on the road while monitoring speed, navigation prompts, and driver-assist alerts. Bose Premium Audio system For audio enthusiasts, the Murano Platinum AWD’s Bose Premium Audio system with 10 speakers delivers immersive, high-quality sound throughout the cabin. Whether you’re streaming playlists, listening to podcasts on your commute into the city, or catching the latest game on satellite radio, the Bose system elevates every drive. ​ Safety and Driver Assistance: Advanced Confidence in Every Trim Nissan Safety Shield 360 Every 2026 Murano trim, including the Platinum AWD, comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield 360, a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technologies. This includes: ​ Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Rear Automatic Braking Lane Departure Warning High Beam Assist These systems are designed to help you avoid or mitigate common types of collisions, which is especially helpful in busy Baltimore-area traffic and crowded shopping centers. ​ Additional standard safety features include Hill Start Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, Intelligent Driver Alertness monitoring, and a front and rear sonar system. A Tire Pressure Monitoring System keeps tabs on your tire pressures and alerts you if they drop below recommended levels. ProPILOT Assist 1.1 and available 2.1 The Murano Platinum AWD comes standard with ProPILOT Assist 1.1, Nissan’s advanced driver-assist system that helps with steering, braking, and acceleration in single-lane highway driving. An important upgrade for 2026 is Automatic Curve Slowdown, which can automatically reduce speed when the vehicle approaches highway curves—perfect for those sweeping ramps around the I-695/I-83 interchanges. ​ To go even further, an available Tech Package adds ProPILOT Assist 2.1, Nissan’s most advanced hands-free driving technology. Under certain conditions, this system allows for hands-off, foot-off driving on compatible highways, along with ProPILOT Emergency Stop with e-call and Active Monitoring to enhance safety and reduce fatigue on longer trips. ​ HD Enhanced Around View Monitor and Invisible Hood View Parking and low-speed maneuvering are easier than ever in the Platinum AWD, thanks to the HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor. Using four cameras, it creates a composite overhead image of the Murano and its surroundings, helping you confidently navigate tight city parking, narrow alleys, and busy garages in neighborhoods like Canton, Federal Hill, and Towson. ​ Available Invisible Hood View goes a step further, letting you see what’s directly in front of and below the vehicle, which is a big advantage when pulling into tight spaces, approaching high curbs, or maneuvering in crowded areas. ​ How the Murano Platinum AWD Fits Baltimore-Area Lifestyles Built for Baltimore commuting If you commute into Baltimore daily from Owings Mills, Timonium, or the surrounding suburbs, the Murano Platinum AWD is engineered to make every mile easier. ProPILOT Assist and Intelligent Cruise Control with traffic stop-and-go help take the stress out of heavy traffic along I-695, I-83, and I-95. With the system managing speed and following distance, you can arrive at your destination more relaxed and less fatigued. The quiet cabin, massaging front seats, and premium audio system transform your commute from a chore into a comfortable, almost lounge-like experience. Add in the fuel efficiency of 23 MPG combined on regular gas, and you also keep more money in your pocket over a year of Baltimore-area driving. Perfect for suburban families and weekend adventurers For families in areas like Lutherville-Timonium, Hunt Valley, and Towson, the Murano Platinum AWD is an ideal family hauler. There’s plenty of space for kids, car seats, and cargo, plus easy-clean surfaces and durable materials. The split-folding rear seats and generous cargo area make it simple to pack for weekend trips to the Eastern Shore, Deep Creek Lake, or local sports tournaments. Standard all-wheel drive and advanced safety tech provide peace of mind when the weather turns—or when your teen driver is behind the wheel. And because the Murano runs on regular unleaded, road trips remain budget-friendly compared to some luxury SUVs that demand premium fuel. Practical in the city, comfortable in the suburbs The Murano’s nimble handling and camera systems make it easy to live with in city environments, even though it’s a mid-size SUV. Parallel parking along city streets or maneuvering inside multi-level garages is easier with the HD Around View Monitor and parking sensors working together. At the same time, its smooth ride and premium comfort make it a standout on longer stretches of suburban and rural roads, whether you’re visiting family across the state or exploring Maryland’s scenic backroads. ​ Nationwide Nissan: Your Murano Platinum AWD Destination At Nationwide Nissan in Timonium, MD, we’re proud to offer the full 2026 Murano lineup, including the Platinum AWD trim that represents the pinnacle of Murano luxury.

Completely redesigned from the ground up, this generation introduces a striking new exterior design, a tech-loaded interior, and a powerful new engine that replaces the outgoing V6. The Murano has always been known for its smooth ride, distinctive styling, and premium cabin — and the 2026 model takes every one of those strengths to the next level. ​ One of the most exciting changes under the hood is the switch to a 2.0-liter VC-Turbo (Variable Compression Turbo) four-cylinder engine that produces 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a refined 9-speed automatic transmission featuring paddle shifters, this powertrain delivers responsive acceleration and impressive efficiency at 21 MPG city, 27 MPG highway, and 23 MPG combined — all on regular unleaded fuel. Every 2026 Murano trim comes standard with all-wheel drive, giving Baltimore-area drivers confidence in rain, snow, and everything in between. At Nationwide Nissan, we're proud to offer the full range of 2026 Murano configurations right here in Timonium, just minutes from Baltimore, Owings Mills, and the surrounding communities . Let's walk through each trim so you can see which of the Murano trim levels best fits your needs. The 2026 Nissan Murano SV AWD: Smart Value Meets Modern Tech Starting MSRP: $41,670 The SV AWD is the entry point into the 2026 Murano lineup, and calling it a "base model" would be a serious understatement. Nissan has loaded the Murano SV trim with an impressive roster of standard equipment that puts many competitors' mid-range trims to shame. ​ Exterior Design and Presence Right out of the gate, the Murano SV AWD commands attention with standard 20-inch gloss black aluminum-alloy wheels with gloss black aero covers, making it a standout addition to the Murano trim levels lineup. The muscular lines and sculpted body panels give the SV a road presence that's distinctly upscale. LED low and high beam headlights come standard, providing excellent visibility for those early morning commutes along I-83 or late-night drives through downtown Baltimore. ​ Privacy glass, a rear spoiler, and power heated mirrors round out the exterior package, giving the SV a polished look that belies its position as the most accessible Murano trim. ​ Interior Comfort and Convenience Step inside the SV, and you'll find a cabin that prioritizes comfort and usability. The seats are wrapped in Prima-Tex leatherette upholstery, offering a premium feel without the premium price tag. Heated front seats come standard — a feature Baltimore-area drivers will appreciate during those chilly Maryland winters. The 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat and power 2-way lumbar support let you dial in your ideal driving position for short errands or long road trips alike. ​ The rear seats fold in a 60/40 split configuration, opening up the Murano's generous 63.5 cubic feet of maximum cargo space — perfect for weekend trips to Assateague Island or hauling supplies from the local home improvement store. ​ Technology and Infotainment The 2026 Murano SV features a dual-display layout anchored by a 12.3-inch NissanConnect touchscreen and a 12.3-inch multi-function information display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto come standard, so you can stay connected without fumbling with cables. A wireless phone charger keeps your device powered up, and Bluetooth streaming audio lets you enjoy your favorite podcasts during the drive. The SV also includes Siri Eyes Free voice control and four USB ports to keep everyone in the cabin connected and charged. ​ Safety Features on the SV Every 2026 Murano SV comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield 360, a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technologies. This includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention, Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Rear Automatic Braking, Lane Departure Warning, and High Beam Assist.

Additional safety features include Hill Start Assist, a front and rear sonar system, Traffic Sign Recognition, and the Intelligent Driver Alertness system that monitors your attention level behind the wheel. ​ Who Is the SV Best For? Of the Murano trim levels, the SV trim is an outstanding choice for drivers who want a well-equipped luxury SUV at the most accessible price point. If you value modern tech, comprehensive safety features, and a comfortable ride without the need for the highest-end luxury appointments, the SV delivers exceptional bang for the buck. It's the ideal Murano trim for families, commuters, and anyone stepping into the mid-size luxury SUV segment for the first time. The 2026 Nissan Murano SL AWD: The Sweet Spot of Luxury and Technology Starting MSRP: $46,760 Moving up to the Murano SL AWD means stepping into a noticeably more refined experience. The SL builds on the SV's already-impressive foundation by adding premium comfort features, enhanced audio, advanced connectivity, and eye-catching design upgrades that make it the most popular Murano trim among our customers at Nationwide Nissan. ​ Elevated Exterior Styling The SL adds a panoramic moonroof that spans both the first and second rows, flooding the cabin with natural light and giving the interior an airy, spacious feel. A power liftgate with keyfob access makes loading groceries or luggage effortless — just tap the button on your key, and the rear hatch opens for you. ​ Power heated mirrors with integrated turn signals are standard, and the SL retains the striking 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with the option to upgrade to dark charcoal metallic aluminum-alloy wheels for a sportier appearance. ​ A Cabin Built for Comfort Inside, the SL takes comfort up several notches. The heated steering wheel is a welcome addition for cold Maryland mornings, and memory settings for the driver's seat let multiple drivers save their preferred positions. The seats remain wrapped in Prima-Tex upholstery but gain heated rear outboard seats and ambient lighting that adds a sophisticated glow to the cabin. The optional Comfort Package opens the door to even more luxury, including ventilated front seats, a power 4-way lumbar adjustment, and a memory system for the passenger seat — features that make every journey feel first-class. ​ Superior Sound and Connectivity One of the standout upgrades on the SL Murano trim is the Bose Premium Audio System with 10 speakers, delivering rich, immersive sound that transforms your daily commute into a concert-quality experience. SiriusXM with 360L satellite radio is also included, giving you access to hundreds of channels of music, news, sports, and entertainment. ​ The SL introduces Google built-in, which means you get Google Maps for navigation, Google Assistant for voice commands, and access to compatible apps through Google Play — all integrated directly into the infotainment system. NissanConnect with Wi-Fi Hotspot turns your Murano into a mobile connectivity hub, keeping passengers entertained and productive on longer trips. ​ Advanced Driver Assistance The SL retains all Safety Shield 360 features and adds the HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor, which uses four cameras to create a composite overhead view of your surroundings. This is an invaluable tool for parking in tight spaces — whether you're squeezing into a spot in Fells Point or navigating the parking garage at Towson Town Center. ​ ProPILOT Assist 1.0 remains standard, along with Intelligent Cruise Control with traffic stop-and-go capability, which adds low-speed following in heavy traffic situations. This upgrade is a game-changer for Baltimore commuters who spend time crawling through congestion on the Beltway. ​ Who Is the SL Best For? The SL Murano trim is ideal for drivers who want a balanced blend of luxury, technology, and value. It bridges the gap between the well-equipped SV and the top-of-the-line Platinum, offering premium features like the Bose audio system, panoramic moonroof, and Google built-in at a mid-range price. If you're the kind of driver who appreciates the finer things but also wants smart value, the SL is your sweet spot. The 2026 Nissan Murano Platinum AWD: The Pinnacle of Luxury Starting MSRP: $49,800 The Platinum AWD sits at the top of the 2026 Murano lineup, and it pulls out all the stops. Of the Murano trim levels, this is the trim that delivers a truly premium ownership experience — the kind of luxury that rivals vehicles costing tens of thousands more. If you want the absolute best that Nissan offers in a mid-size SUV, the Platinum is the one to choose. ​ Commanding Exterior Presence The Platinum rolls on exclusive 21-inch machine-finished aluminum-alloy wheels with painted accents, giving it a distinctively upscale stance. Power-folding exterior mirrors add a touch of sophistication and practicality, automatically tucking in when you park in tight spaces. Rain-sensing windshield wipers activate on their own when precipitation is detected — a small but meaningful convenience for driving through Maryland's unpredictable weather. The proximity-sensing power liftgate is a standout feature: simply stand near the rear of the vehicle with your key fob, and the liftgate opens hands-free — perfect when your arms are full of shopping bags from the Inner Harbor. ​ The Most Luxurious Interior in Its Class This is where the Platinum truly separates itself from other Murano trim levels. The cabin is appointed with semi-aniline quilted leather seating that looks and feels exquisite. But the real showstopper is the climate-controlled and massaging front seats. Heated, ventilated, and equipped with a massage function, these seats turn every drive into a spa-like experience. Heated rear seats ensure your passengers stay comfortable too. Both the driver and front passenger enjoy power 4-way lumbar support with massage, and the driver's seat features memory settings for effortless personalization. An integrated garage door opener, ambient interior lighting, and a Head-Up Display that projects vital driving information onto the windshield round out the luxury experience. Top-Tier Technology Combining the Murano trim levels, Platinum includes everything from the SL's technology package and adds several exclusive upgrades. The dual 12.3-inch display digital cockpit serves as the command center, with Google built-in, NissanConnect Services, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless Android Auto all working seamlessly together. ​ An available Tech Package pushes the technology even further, adding ProPILOT Assist 2.1 — Nissan's most advanced hands-free driving system — which allows for hands-off, foot-off highway driving in certain conditions. This package also includes ProPILOT Emergency Stop with e-call, Active Monitoring, and NissanConnect Services with the ProPILOT Assist 2.1 connectivity package. Maximum Safety and Awareness The Platinum comes standard with ProPILOT Assist 1.1, which adds Automatic Curve Slowdown technology that intelligently reduces speed when approaching highway curves — a feature you'll appreciate on the sweeping ramps of the I-695/I-83 interchange. The HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor is standard, and the available Invisible Hood View technology lets you see what's directly in front of and below the vehicle, making tight parking maneuvers safer and easier. Every safety feature from the SV and SL is included, plus the Platinum offers access to the most advanced driver-assistance systems in the entire Nissan lineup. ​ Who Is the Platinum Best For? The Platinum Murano is designed for drivers who refuse to compromise. If you want massaging seats, hands-free driving technology, a Head-Up Display, quilted leather, and every possible comfort and convenience feature, this is your trim. It competes with — and often surpasses — luxury SUVs from premium brands, all while delivering Nissan's legendary reliability and value. Performance and Driving Dynamics Across All Murano Trim Levels Regardless of which Murano trim you choose, you'll enjoy the same exhilarating powertrain. The 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine is a technological marvel that continuously adjusts its compression ratio for the ideal balance of power and efficiency. With 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque flowing through a smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission, the Murano delivers confident acceleration for merging onto highways and responsive passing power for two-lane roads. Standard all-wheel drive across every Murano trim means you never have to worry about losing traction — whether it's a sudden summer thunderstorm rolling through Baltimore or an icy January morning in Timonium. The Intelligent Trace Control and Active Ride Control systems work together to deliver composed handling through corners, while the independent front strut and rear multi-link suspension setup provides a smooth, refined ride that absorbs Maryland's sometimes-rough road surfaces. With a ground clearance of 8.3 inches and a towing capacity of up to 1,500 pounds, the Murano is ready for light-duty adventures like towing a small trailer to the campsite or clearing the occasional unpaved road. ​ Why Baltimore-Area Drivers Love the 2026 Nissan Murano Living in the Baltimore metropolitan area means dealing with a unique set of driving challenges — and the 2026 Murano is engineered to handle every one of them.

The HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor (standard on SL and Platinum) is a lifesaver for parallel parking in Canton, Mount Vernon, or Federal Hill. Meanwhile, the spacious 63.5-cubic-foot cargo area and comfortable seating make it equally suited for suburban family life in Owings Mills, Lutherville, or Hunt Valley.
