Is there going to be a 2022 Murano?

For consumers looking for a midsize two-row SUV, the Nissan Murano is one of those vehicles that don’t really come to mind. There are a few reasons for that, namely the fact that it remains virtually unchanged for 2022, and the current generation is in its eighth year on the market. The biggest update came for the 2019 model year, but it's still hard to tell a recent Murano from one from five years ago.

According to the latest reports, a redesign is planned for 2023 model year. But sources told Automotive News that supply chain delays could push it back. The exterior design and interior will change at that time, but don't expect any big surprises under the hood.

Is there going to be a 2022 Murano?

The 3.5-liter V6 engine will likely return, but the continuously variable transmission (CVT) could be replaced by a nine-speed automatic just like the one in the 2022 Pathfinder, but it’s all speculation at this time. If you opt for a pre-owned Nissan Murano, be aware that the manufacturer seems to have fixed the reliability problems of its CVT.

Automatic emergency braking was added for 2018, while the 2019 update brought new trim, quilted pattern leather seats as well as the Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite of safety features. The base S variants come with FWD and, even with 260 hp and 240 lb-ft of torque, the Murano S can't tow more than 1,500 pounds. And it is among the vehicles with the worst driver visibility according to a Consumer Reports ranking.

Nevertheless, the Murano is still a good choice if you want a smooth ride and superior interior comfort, especially with the famous "Zero Gravity" seats. Plus, it could also cost less than comparable rivals.

2022 Nissan Murano Gets Blacked-Out Midnight Edition

Is there going to be a 2022 Murano?


Is there going to be a 2022 Murano?
The Nissan Murano is almost due for a redesign, but it won’t get one for the 2022 model year. With an all-new, more rugged Pathfinder on sales lots, Nissan will keep the Murano 2-row midsize SUV virtually unchanged for at least one more year.

The Murano is known for premium styling at an affordable price and a standard 260-horsepower V6 with plenty of power to close holes in traffic. But its limited towing capacity, at 1,500 pounds, and somewhat lackluster continuously variable transmission (CVT) keep it near the bottom of our list of the Best Two-Row Midsize SUVs.

For 2022, the mid-priced Murano SV gains heated leatherette front seats. No other trim level gets any equipment changes.

But there is one new package. Again, it’s found only on the Murano SV. The Midnight Package adds a glossy black grille, black exterior trim pieces, black roof rails, and glossy black 20-inch wheels. A badge on the hatch and illuminated sill plates identify it as the Midnight Edition. It’s available in black, white, and gray.

Pricing:

Prices have gone up by between $100 and $510 depending on trim level – not an unreasonable increase in a time when supply chain problems mean many parts have grown more expensive. Nissan also requires a $1,175 destination charge on all SUVs.

Model Price
Murano S FWD $32,910
Murano SV FWD $36,450
Murano SL FWD $40,410
Murano Platinum FWD $44,460
Murano S AWD $34,610
Murano SV AWD $38,150
Murano SL AWD $42,110
Murano Platinum AWD $46,160

Is Nissan changing the Murano for 2023?

Does the 2022 Nissan Murano have transmission problems?

Owners and lessees of Nissan Murano SUVs have reported several recurring CVT transmission problems, including lurching, acceleration issues, vehicle overheating and premature transmission failure.

Why did Nissan stop making the Murano?

The nameplate has been discontinued due to sluggish sales, with the X-Trail taking its place. The Nissan Murano made a return in Mexico after an absence for a decade after the second generation was discontinued in that market on April 11, 2018, as a 2019 model.
