Nissan had stopped importing the Murano to Canada in mid-2025, and several customers asked us if it would ever return. We finally had an answer for them in January 2026: the 2026 Nissan Murano is back, but with a lineup reduced to the single Platinum trim with all-wheel drive. It also drops the CVT in favour of a 9-speed automatic, a change owners of the previous generation will notice from the very first test drive.
2026 Nissan Murano: price and available trims
The new 2026 Nissan Murano is offered starting at $58,498* (MSRP) according to the manufacturer, and the Canadian range now boils down to a single configuration: the 2026 Nissan Murano Platinum trim with all-wheel drive. Nissan removed the SV and SL trims from the Canadian catalogue for 2026 after a pause in imports in 2025.
This single trim is offered with comprehensive equipment right out of the gate, including a panoramic roof and quilted semi-aniline leather upholstery. To see your actual monthly cost, our automotive financing page runs the numbers based on your down payment.
A quick note for those nostalgic for a Nissan Murano convertible: the CrossCabriolet left the lineup after 2014 and has no successor. As for timing, the Murano's return to the Canadian catalogue was confirmed in January 2026, with deliveries in the spring.
2026 Nissan Murano: performance and powertrain
In terms of performance, the Murano replaces the CVT with a 9-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, paired with the 2.0-litre VC-Turbo engine with variable compression. The result is 241 horsepower, 260 lb-ft of torque, and confident passing when overtaking on the 417 between Hawkesbury and Ottawa.
Something worth noting is that this turbo runs on regular fuel, which helps you save money when compared with rivals that require premium. Intelligent all-wheel drive is standard and continuously monitors traction, a real plus in winter in Grenville.
2026 Nissan Murano: Technology and driver assistance systems
The cabin brings together two 12.3-inch screens with Google built-in: Google Maps, Google Assistant, and the Google Play store right on the dashboard. Wireless Apple CarPlay is standard, and ProPILOT Assist manages acceleration, braking, and lane centring on the highway. You will also enjoy a surround view monitor for tight parking in Rockland, front seats with available massage function, and LED ambient lighting. This driver-focused equipment clearly targets luxury SUVs, not ordinary midsize SUVs.
2026 Nissan Murano: weight and dimensions
The Murano's weight is around 4,387 lb., which is well contained for an SUV of this size.
2026 Nissan Murano dimensions: 4,900 mm in length, 1,981 mm in width, and a wheelbase of 2,825 mm, with 211 mm of ground clearance.
For context, it is about 250 mm longer than a Rogue, which translates into rear legroom worthy of a full-size sedan. The comparison with the Nissan Rogue spec sheet clearly shows the size difference between the two.
2026 Nissan Murano: towing capacity and cargo space
Towing capacity is 1,500 lb., enough for a single snowmobile trailer or a double carrier for light personal watercraft.
For cargo space, count about 930 litres behind the rear bench and 1,798 litres with the seats folded, enough for four golf bags and weekend luggage to Casselman.
Interior and exterior design of the 2026 Nissan Murano
The exterior draws inspiration from the ARIYA: ultra-slim “Crystal Cube” LED headlamps, a full-width rear light bar, and 21-inch wheels. The Murano interior delivers a modern lounge feel, with a luxurious cabin in quilted leather, Zero Gravity seats front and rear, and an impressively quiet ride.
As for colours, the palette includes two-tone finishes with a black roof that accentuates its low stance.
In our opinion, it is the most rewarding Nissan to drive day to day!
