2023 Nissan Murano: Although Aging Gracefully, a Full Redesign is Needed
The 2023 Nissan Murano is undeniably getting long in the tooth, as they say. First introduced in 2015 and riding on Renault-Nissan?s D Platform that underpins an extensive array of Renault and Nissan vehicles like the Maxima, Renault Samsung SM7, and Pathfinder, the existing third-generation Murano is ripe for a successor. It needs to cope with newer (and better) stalwarts like the Kia Telluride, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Chevrolet Equinox to name a few, but the Murano has its strengths, as well.
For starters, we appreciate Murano?s honest approach to a family crossover. It?s not pretending to be a do-it-all crossover (it has a ludicrous 1,500 lbs. towing capacity), but it has available AWD to cope with mild off-road adventures. The standard CVT saps the life out of Murano?s otherwise peppy V6, and the steering could benefit from a rethink. But if affordability, safety, and a roomy cabin are priorities, the 2023 Nissan Murano deserves a second look.
2023 Nissan Murano: What?s New"
There are a couple of mild changes for the 2023 Nissan Murano. First is the splattering of new Nissan logos inside and out. And then new paint colors, Deep Ocean Blue Pearl and Super Black. The outgoing variant received a few changes apart from a new Midnight Edition package that includes blacked-out exterior trim, black 20-inch wheels, and illuminated door sills. Otherwise, expect the Murano to soldier on with minuscule or no changes under and over its skin.
