“Beware, the cruise control won't hold speed going downhill and the mid-level trim seats are more comfortable than the platinum level.”
2023 Nissan Murano: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2023 Nissan Murano is a carryover with no major changes. It keeps the same 260-hp V6, four-trim lineup, safety features, and cabin technology as the 2022 model.
About the 2023 Nissan Murano
3rd generation (2015-2024), late-cycle year; second-to-last model year before the 2025 redesign.
Nissan positions the Murano as the style-led, more upscale choice among its non-luxury SUVs: a two-row midsize crossover with bold design, a comfortable cabin, standard safety tech, and a stronger premium feel than a purely utility-first family SUV. Its core appeal is smooth V6 power, supportive seating, and a richer interior look than many mainstream rivals, aimed at buyers who want comfort and appearance more than maximum cargo space or towing.
The 2023 Murano lineup ranges from the straightforward S to the comfort-focused Platinum, with every trim using the same V6 and automatic transmission. The SV adds useful everyday comforts such as heated front seats and adaptive cruise control, while the SL brings leather, a 360-degree camera, navigation, and Bose audio. Platinum tops the range with cooled front seats, quilted leather, and a panoramic moonroof.
