- Entry-level SV is dead, but there’s a new Dark Armor trim.
- New variant has extra equipment and black exterior touches.
Nissan has introduced the 2027 Murano and the cost of entry has soared by $2,320 as the company has eliminated the entry-level SV trim. Its death means pricing starts at $43,990 before a $1,545 destination fee.
The trim changes don’t end there as the company has introduced a new Dark Armor variant. It starts at $46,990 and slots nearly perfectly between the SL and Platinum.
Review: Nissan’s New Murano Feels Like A Missed Opportunity
As the name suggests, the Murano Dark Armor embraces the night as it adopts gloss black badging, exterior accents, and 21-inch wheels. They’re joined by Dark Armor insignias as well as a color palette that includes Gun Metallic and Super Black as no cost options. Customers can get Scarlet Ember or Everest White for $450, while Boulder Gray and Everest White paint jobs with contrasting Super Black roofs cost $1,000.
Moving inside, the crossover features perforated Prima-Tex seats in graphite. They feature heating and power adjustment up front.
Besides slightly sportier styling, the Murano Dark Armor comes with additional equipment including acoustic front side glass and a panoramic moonroof. They’re accompanied by a 10-speaker Bose premium audio system, multi-color ambient LED lighting, and a 12.3-inch NissanConnect infotainment system with Google built-in.
This is on top of LED lighting units, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a Qi2 wireless smartphone charger. The Murano also comes standard with an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a dual-zone climate control system, and a plethora of driver assistance systems such as ProPILOT Assist.
All models are equipped with a familiar 2.0-liter VC-Turbo four-cylinder engine developing 241 hp (180 kW / 244 PS) and 260 lb-ft (352 Nm) of torque. It’s connected to a nine-speed automatic transmission and a standard all-wheel drive system. While the powertrain carries over, the 2027 Murano gains a new Snow Mode.
