Used 2021 Nissan Murano SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Nissan Murano is a midsize SUV offered in four trims: S, SV, SL and Platinum. A 3.5-liter V6 engine (260 horsepower, 240 lb-ft) comes standard on all trim levels and is matched to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive are available across the range.

S
The entry-level Murano S starts you off with:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Keyless entry and ignition
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • 8-inch touchscreen
  • Six-speaker audio system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility
  • Satellite radio
  • Four USB ports

Every Murano also comes with a suite of advanced driving aids. Features include:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
  • Rear automatic braking (brakes if sensors detect an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind the vehicle when parking)

SV
Stepping up to the SV level adds:

  • Remote engine start
  • LED foglights
  • Heated mirrors
  • Black roof rails
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Power-adjustable front seats
  • Front parking sensors
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Nissan and the car in front)

The SV's unique Special Edition package includes:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Heated front seats
  • Faux leather upholstery
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Murano and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

SL
Compared to the SV, the Murano SL gains:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Silver roof rails
  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Driver-seat memory settings
  • Ambient interior lighting
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Heated front and rear seats
  • Leather upholstery
  • Navigation system
  • Voice controls
  • 11-speaker Bose audio system
  • Surround-view camera system

The panoramic sunroof is available as a stand-alone option for the SL.

Platinum
The top-tier Platinum loads you up with:

  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Power-adjustable steering wheel
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Upgraded leather
  • NissanConnect emergency notification services

Which Murano trim does Edmunds recommend?

Nissan's new Rogue effectively has just as much passenger and cargo space as the Murano. As such, we think maximizing the luxury aspect of the Murano is the way to go. The SL is our pick, with upscale features such as supple leather seating surfaces and a hands-free liftgate.
