Even when they ditch the CVT people still hating. Just give them a recalled nightmare Ford or Chevy. So being non-biased since I drive a Ford I like it! The interior looks very nice. The old Murano could get 28mpg Hwy so I hope this would do better.
@@magnoliap5824 Its tempting. It looks really nice and the new tech is cool. But its missing the power retracting rear seats, which mine has. And the V6 is so nice on mine. Transmission is made of glass, but properly cared for, it shifts smoothly and delivers power, so Ive got no complaints so far, and Ive had it for 9 years now. The biggest turn off with this new one is the drive-train and the way higher price. Loud, buzzy 4 cylinder engine and sluggish transmission, and a lot of wheel slip, based on the reviews. It seems it needs a bit of tuning, being the first year of this new model.
@@magnoliap5824 Yeah, the new Pathfinder looks awesome. I like that it still has the V6 AND the 9 speed transmission. Its not much bigger than the Murano, to be honest. If they offered the Murano with a hybrid, that would be killer. The Ariya is a nice alternative to the Murano. Similar interior size, but as big as the Rogue on the outside. But yeah, 55 grand for the new Murano Platinum... My 16 Platinum cost me 40K.
They are working with Honda now, but mostly because Honda is clueless on Hybrids and EV's. Honda built an EV and named it the Prologue and all the tech came from Chevrolet
@@Joseph2020-c2p Lmao, what? Because Nissan is a leader in hybrid and EV technology? They're worse than Honda on both. By a lot. The new Civic Hybrid is killer.
We need them, they keep a lot of car companies in check in regard to what they charge fpr tech options. They kind of introduce a lot of tech that often gets mocked when they do but, the others follow suit after a while showing they had it right all along. They are the definition of underdog.
@@waychillbro actually, they may not be now. But, they lead the market early on. The leaf as much as I don't like it made huge waves amongst the early EVs.
The VCTurbo was designed to be more fuel efficient but it didn't play out that way in my wife's Infiniti. It also has inconsistent power making it feel like the engine is surging up and down the power band.
Thats more likely because your wife’s Infiniti has a CVT. I have the Altima vcTurbo and sometimes the power is a day late. But the Muranl doesn’t have a CVT
@@ItsChrisWorld Nah. We had a Murano with a CVT. Never an issue with that car. The issue I believe is coupling turbo lag with variable compression. Too many variables and not the right computer to make it work. There's a reason it was immediately canceled.
@@silverbackhayabusa I can believe that lol but I will say if the Altima did not have the turbo, I wouldn’t be in the Altima. Because 180HP the non turbo is a mess! I had a 2019 Accord before the Altima but it has too many quality issues.
I would not want to own that variable compression feature until it’s well tested. Even though it’s not the same thing, the failure of cylinder deactivation comes to mind.
How in the world did we go from a 3.5 V6 to a VC-Turbo and the gas mileage is the same?? I checked and the 2022 Murano has a EPA est 28 Highway and 24 Combined 🥴 🥴
I believe it has to do with production numbers. Nissan wants an engine that they can easily put in anything. A 4 cylinder just takes up less room, is probably easier to make and with smaller vehicles it might actually work better. The v6 is going the same direction as v8s did . Mostly because of packaging.
Have those vc engines had any serious reliability issues? It's a hell of an idea but it seems to be working. It's been years and years now and they're still using them.
I really liked the first gen Murano. It looked very futuristic and different at the time, especially in orange. This new Murano gives me a similar feeling. Quite futuristic. I'm surprised Nissan ditched the CVT. It's about time! Let's just hope these new geared automatics are better. Having gears is not a guarantee of a longer lasting transmission. Haptic controls are such a dumpster fire in a car. No tactile feedback.
If Nissan is still doing what they are currently and have been for the last 10+ years, putting a sleek new body on an old. Slightly updated chassis, then no, even the new Frontier is still basically riding on the 2005 chassis whereas most carmakers completely update the chassis every few years along with the body. I hope Nissan can further move away from the problematic CVTs, problem is the CVTs have ruined Nissans image that it’ll take a few years for people to warm up to Nissan.
@ you’re telling me Murano is a wagon?? I don’t think you’ve seen a crown signia, not surprisingly they’re very low production car.

They can make it levitate use rolls Royce materials make it look like a sporty Bentley. I won’t own or even look there way. I currently have a 14 murano, cvt sucks limits so much power customer service is just horrendous to keep it TH-cam friendly. And keep in mind they’re just mainly plastic computers now a days… yea. No.
Nice review. However, you sound out of breath having done nothing physical. It reminded my of watching Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini). Take care of your health, wishing you the best.
"out of the park" Okay it's better than the one they had from 2014 to 2024--The design is really plain Jane. Just do yourself a favor and avoid any transmission built by Nissan--Unless you plan to lease it or keep it for under 6 years.
The transmission is better, but the engine is a disaster waiting to happen. Nissan has the excellent VQ 6 cylinder engines which should have been used here. Hard Pass!
First year model engine, lots of glossy piano black, and unproven electronics from a company which hasn’t kept up with the competition and is about to be taken over by Honda. No thanks.
Nissan is toast. At least the Nissan we knew. A good and bad thing. Good because they desperate need massive changes, but bad because they will need to cut so much of their lineup, dealerships, employees, etc, but they need to do it to recover.
Very glad to see the CVT go.
They took the crappy Jatco AT out but put a horrible engine inside. Should have kept the V6 VQ poweplant.
Nissan has been having a lot of problems with the VC engine.
@@drnick40 It sounds like the Pathfinder is the way to go now, if you want a CUV with the V6 and the 9 speed auto transmission.
Even when they ditch the CVT people still hating. Just give them a recalled nightmare Ford or Chevy. So being non-biased since I drive a Ford I like it! The interior looks very nice. The old Murano could get 28mpg Hwy so I hope this would do better.
Yep and everyone is a CVT and Nissan expert on TH-cam too! I’d consider this vehicle for sure.
The old one can get 30 highway. But like 16-18 city. Most of my driving is city, so the mileage on my V6 Murano is closer to 20 MPG on average.
@@BackToTheGame.98 interesting. Would you consider this new model?

It looks like the ICE version of their EV Ariya.
Agreed. The powertrain killed the Ariya.
I hope Nissan can make a comeback.
Or at least the parts of Nissan that Honda keeps alive.

Looks nice. side profile gives off RX350 vibes. A $42K starting price is a hard sell in a tough space.
The Nissan Talltima
😂😂😂

Have 2020 and 2023 Muranos. My wife and my daughter like them.
We love our 2017 platinum Murano. I think it looks better then this new one
The interior looked better in the last generation Murano.
@@kylewhismanI agree. I have a 2020 murano and I prefer the looks of mine.
I would not want to own that variable compression feature until it’s well tested. Even though it’s not the same thing, the failure of cylinder deactivation comes to mind.
Agreed
these engines have been in Nissans for many years at this point. since 2019 i think?
This just makes the Rogue and Pathfinder look more appealing.
And give it the same engine and transmission that this new Murano has.
rogue has the best seats and mpg its crazy how a 3 cyl is nissans best car lol
This who is the nicest toyota venza, oops i mean nissan murano ive ever seen....
Bring back the convertible and I'd buy
😂
Those things were the best !
Boy naw them things didn't sell well at all LOL
Soon to be the Nonda Murrassport.
Cant wait to get my hands on this in late fall 2025
Four-cylinder engine sounds quite a bit noisier than the previous V6 engine
That's usually the case
Looks very nice (should be a hybrid in '24)...also much like our '21 Toyota Venza which has sadly been discontinued.
I’m sad about the Venza too! I liked it!
Don't you like the new Crown SUV ?
Love it!!!!!
At least they havent sacrificed the quality of exhaust note, the only redeeming quality of owning a Nissan.
How in the world did we go from a 3.5 V6 to a VC-Turbo and the gas mileage is the same?? I checked and the 2022 Murano has a EPA est 28 Highway and 24 Combined 🥴 🥴
Exactly my point. 23 mpg = Garbage. They’re going backwards and think this is the answer from going belly up! 😂 14 months tick, tock…
They did this with my wife's Infiniti QX60. Not only is the mileage garbage, the engine feels like it surges up and down the power band.
I believe it has to do with production numbers. Nissan wants an engine that they can easily put in anything. A 4 cylinder just takes up less room, is probably easier to make and with smaller vehicles it might actually work better. The v6 is going the same direction as v8s did . Mostly because of packaging.
Because the SL and Platinum are Standard AWD while the Previous is Front Wheel Drive. It's more about emissions than Mpgs for the move to Turbo 4s
I'm putting this on my list ❤ as long as the price is right
Looks like Pontiac Aztek 0:09
Have those vc engines had any serious reliability issues? It's a hell of an idea but it seems to be working. It's been years and years now and they're still using them.
From what I’ve heard, they’ve been fairly reliable…. Or at least I haven’t heard too many nightmare experiences
Biggest mistake Honda could do would be to merge with Nissan. Nissan from the 90s and below,yea, but Nissan now it would be stupid.
Piano Black - carmaker speak for "We hear you, and we truly don't give a F***"
I kinda like the new kicks WTF I’m not a Nissan guy
Muy buen carro elegante y bueno saludos desde chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱👏👏👏👍👍
i don't mind the new engine, but I think a more powerful v-6 (or a PHEV) should have been an option.
Will sell like hotcakes
Doubtful
Looks good but by chance did they bring back the Xterra yet?😁
Finally Nissan bringing the luxury design.
looks like ICE ariya, good
No hybrid available. It’s like they are already behind the eight ball with the redesign.
I just hate subscription payments for accessing new features.. somehow our Nissan Terra is probably safe for now
VC turbo's reliability remains to be seen? 🤔
It's look like nissan is going down.

9 speed has been around for awhile it’s old Mercedes transmission, so you always know that story lol
@@cormaro13 The Mercedes 9-speed is in their RWD based cars and trucks. This is a ZF 9-speed. Just happen to have the same number of gears.
Changing engine compression size and ratio seems like a recipe for disaster down the line

Engine sounds noisy. V6 in my Marano is very quiet.
Nice car, but why they removed V6? With V6 and 5000 lb of towing it would be an almost perfect car.
Because it fits in everything.
I like the kicks better
That will be expensive if you’re rear ended .
Buick wants their rear design back
nissan, if youre reading this.. that's not a complement
Looks like a gas powered Ariya
Looks like a thicker Toyota Venza.
competition is rav4, not a a wagon crown signia
RAV4 is in a completely different class. Crown Signia IS the competition.
@ you’re telling me Murano is a wagon?? I don’t think you’ve seen a crown signia, not surprisingly they’re very low production car.
The Nissan Murano competes with a number of SUVs, including:
Toyota Venza: A midsize SUV that combines luxury with a hybrid-electric powertrain
Honda Passport: A two-row rival with a boxy body and up-to-date infotainment features
Hyundai Santa Fe: A two-row rival with a boxy body and up-to-date infotainment features
Jeep Grand Cherokee: A two-row rival with a boxy body and up-to-date infotainment features
Acura RDX: A competitor to the Murano
Audi Q5: A competitor to the Murano
Lexus NX: A competitor to the Murano
Infiniti QX50: A corporate sibling to the Murano
They can make it levitate use rolls Royce materials make it look like a sporty Bentley. I won’t own or even look there way. I currently have a 14 murano, cvt sucks limits so much power customer service is just horrendous to keep it TH-cam friendly.
And keep in mind they’re just mainly plastic computers now a days… yea. No.
If this was introduced 10 years ago, I will say looks new... but the design looks a bit outdated already.
No CVT thank the Lord!
Engine sounds course and loud, not very desirable, make it quiet. Styling and interior is very nice.
Nice review. However, you sound out of breath having done nothing physical. It reminded my of watching Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini). Take care of your health, wishing you the best.
Pass. Terrible front end
WTF ? A push button gear selector, how the hell am I supposed to figure out how that works ? Sarcasm.
❤
Take a deep breath man, 😂. James May will say😂
2L VCT engine = trouble
I have it in my Altima and absolutely no issues.
Oh wow a $55K rogue! No thx but at least the cvt is gone
"out of the park" Okay it's better than the one they had from 2014 to 2024--The design is really plain Jane. Just do yourself a favor and avoid any transmission built by Nissan--Unless you plan to lease it or keep it for under 6 years.
Interior nice- exterior isn’t exciting
A vehicle designed for your grandparents
An RX gone CVT 😂... in this case, imitation is not flattering 😅
Between 23 and 24 mpg? Awful numbers for a new model like this going into 2025.
Those wheels are fugly! I actually prefer the overall looks of the current model. 🤷♂️
Nissan is on the verge of bankruptcy. The interior looks like the one from the Opel Astra in Europe.
Not liking the rims....😮
The transmission is better, but the engine is a disaster waiting to happen. Nissan has the excellent VQ 6 cylinder engines which should have been used here. Hard Pass!
a lot of nissan car are more beautiful than toyotas and hondas....but nissans problem is reliability
That engine won't last 90,000 miles
The engine sound is not good at all
First year model engine, lots of glossy piano black, and unproven electronics from a company which hasn’t kept up with the competition and is about to be taken over by Honda. No thanks.
Why would anyone buy this product? ok, i will answer..... Don't!!! There are so many better proven products out there. IMO
As a Nissan fan....this is just ugly in my opinion!
Nissan is toast. At least the Nissan we knew. A good and bad thing. Good because they desperate need massive changes, but bad because they will need to cut so much of their lineup, dealerships, employees, etc, but they need to do it to recover.
The Frontier kicks ass though. If they were to abandon CVT’s their cars would be pretty good.
After owning 6 Nissans I will never own another one. The customer service was abysmal.
What about the cars themselves? Were they any good?
No it is not troll
After 6 you’ll never own another one?….. right. Fool me 6 times ?
Guy with a tractor profile pic owned 6 Nissans?
Yeah ok...
You're done after only 6?
It’s Lexus boring
For people with terrible credit scores who enjoy writing depreciation all the way to the ground
ya, 1st drive to the gas station!
23 mpg = Garbage
The Nissan/Honda Murano..
They did not merge
Honsan
What an ugly car!
