Nissan has revamped the Murano crossover lineup for 2027. 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. 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. 2027 Nissan Murano Pricing TrimMSRPMurano SL AWD$43,990Murano Dark Armor AWD$46,990Murano Platinum AWD$49,790 SWIPE Prices exclude a $1,545 destination fee
