The 2026 Nissan Murano is engineered to make every drive feel effortless, refined, and connected. For Wilmington, DE shoppers comparing midsize SUVs through a practical, research-forward lens, the Murano’s blend of standard all-wheel drive across trims, advanced driver-assist technology, and a meticulously crafted cabin sets it apart. You’ll find thoughtful touches throughout, from dual 12.3-inch digital displays to available massaging seats and available HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor with Invisible Hood View that helps in tight, urban spaces. Backed by a reputation for dependability and a recent history of safety recognition, the 2026 Murano presents a confident path for commuters, families, and anyone who values quiet comfort with smart capability.
The Murano’s 2.0-liter VC-Turbo 4-cylinder and smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic deliver 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, with torque arriving predictably for responsive everyday driving. Standard all-wheel drive across the lineup supports year-round confidence, while increased ground clearance (8.3 inches) helps you clear common obstacles. When you want to bring more along, up to 1,500 lbs. of maximum towing ability is ready for weekend gear. The Electronic Parking Brake with Automatic Brake Hold eases stop-and-go moments at lights, and the chassis tuning helps the Murano ride with composure on I-95, city streets, and the Brandywine Valley’s rolling roads. It’s a well-rounded performance package designed to make every mile feel calm and in control.
Inside the Murano, design and serenity come together. From the glass-inspired dash treatment to the available panoramic moonroof and ambient lighting, every surface and control is tuned to elevate your daily drive. The dual 12.3-inch displays are intuitive and responsive, putting key information, mapping, and apps within easy reach while maintaining a clean look that feels upscale and modern. Whether you choose the SL’s quilted leather-appointed seats or the Platinum’s semi-aniline upholstery with available massage, the front-row experience is supportive and tailored. In the second row, generous legroom (36.3 inches) helps passengers settle in, and the flexible cargo area (32.9 cu ft) with easy-fold back seats is ready for errands, home projects, or a weekend escape.
Every 2026 Murano includes Safety Shield 360 as standard equipment, bringing front, side, and rear monitoring into one cohesive system. For daily commuting, standard ProPILOT Assist helps reduce the fatigue of stop-and-go traffic and long highway runs by assisting with following distance and lane centering. Available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 introduces hands-off, foot-off capability in certain situations and traffic management for smooth freeway cruising. Available HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor adds clarity in close quarters, while Invisible Hood View gives a virtual vantage point where you need it most when parking near downtown Wilmington offices or navigating tight neighborhood streets.

Many midsize SUVs still start with front-wheel drive on base trims or charge extra for advanced hands-free driving features.

Some rivals offer multi-camera parking systems, but the Murano elevates confidence with available HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor and Invisible Hood View to help you see what’s traditionally hidden just in front of the vehicle. Seat comfort is another differentiator—available climate-controlled, massaging front seats are rare at this level. Add in the standard dual 12.3-inch displays and available Google built-in, and Murano creates a tech-forward cocoon that’s ideal for Wilmington-area driving, from merging onto I-95 to threading into parking near the Riverfront. In short, the Murano combines the upscale comfort and advanced assistance often reserved for luxury nameplates with the real-world practicality Wilmington drivers expect.
