“My only issue (and I don't really consider it truly legitimate) is that it looks like a lot of other cars out there and I got a silver one. Do you know how many silver cars there are that look pretty much like mine in a parking lot? TONS! Wish I had gotten a color that stood out a little more.”
2014 Nissan Murano: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

The 2014 Nissan Murano is largely a carryover, with Bluetooth becoming standard on the CrossCabriolet as its only notable equipment change. The regular S, SV, SL, and LE trims receive no major updates.
About the 2014 Nissan Murano
2nd generation (2009-2014), final year before the redesigned 2015 Murano; the CrossCabriolet is also in its final model year.
Nissan positions the Murano as a style-forward, more premium-feeling two-row midsize crossover for people who want comfort and design more than maximum passenger count. Its core appeal is a strong V6, easy road-trip manners, a quiet cabin, and upscale touches that push it closer to near-luxury rivals than to basic family SUVs. In 2014, the Murano’s identity is still about five-passenger comfort, distinctive looks, and user-friendly features rather than rugged off-road use.
The regular Murano remains a five-seat crossover with a V6 engine, a smooth automatic transmission, and trims ranging from the straightforward S to the near-luxury LE. Notable versions include the SL with leather seats, a dual-panel moonroof, and Bose audio, while the LE adds heated rear seats and 20-inch wheels. The four-seat CrossCabriolet combines standard AWD with a power soft-top and heated leather-appointed front seats.

Frequently asked questions
What changed on the 2014 Nissan Murano compared with the 2013 model?
Bluetooth became standard on the CrossCabriolet, but the regular S, SV, SL, and LE trims carried over without major product changes.
Was 2014 the final year of this Nissan Murano generation?
Yes. The 2014 Murano was the final model year of the second generation before the redesigned 2015 model arrived.
Did the 2014 Nissan Murano get a new engine or transmission?
No. The 2014 Murano kept its 3.5-liter V6 and continuously variable automatic transmission, with front-wheel drive or AWD depending on the version. The CrossCabriolet also retained its V6, automatic transmission, and standard AWD.
Is the 2014 Nissan Murano meaningfully different from the 2013 model?
No, not in regular crossover form. The main year-to-year equipment difference is standard Bluetooth on the CrossCabriolet, so condition, mileage, and trim equipment matter more when comparing regular 2013 and 2014 examples.
Was the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet still offered for 2014?
Yes. The four-seat, AWD CrossCabriolet returned for 2014 with a power soft-top, heated leather-appointed front seats, Bose audio, and newly standard Bluetooth. This was its final model year.
2014 Nissan Murano Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2014 Nissan Murano.
“We have owned our Murano for just a few weeks. As we drive it and experience it more on the road, our expectations are being exceeded.”
“Wind and road noise. All 4 door handles have paint defects. There is a lot of wind and road noise in the interior at 60 to 70 MPH. I am disappointed in the ride of this automobile. My 2001 Lexus RX-300 has a smoother ride. I can feel every bump of the road in the interior of the automobile including the steering wheel and floorboard.”
